Yeah I was really shocked, but Ive never had a rabbit spayed before so I didnt question it too much, when I asked why the opening was so big the nurse said that sometimes it was necessary if the tummy has fat it makes things difficult. But she's not a fat bunny, not at all.

I am so glad I found this board, I didnt know it had moved I just thought it had been offline doh!! Tigger was spayed about 2 weeks ago, they said they were going to use dissolvable stitches but when I collected her they'd used staples. And the scar is really long too far bigger than i...

We got one of these. Our rabbit HATES it. Also she can get out of it. I think it all depends whether your rabbit will wear the harness or not.

Well we've just finished week 2 of the 4 weekconfinment. She's feeling alot better and charges like anelephant at the sniff of the cage door opening. We're keep her asentertained as possible. Not sure how the legs doing she's still notputting he weight on it but she's worked out ways of climbing...

Hi, when do you feed the rabbit? I discoveredthat by putting fresh hay in Tiggers food bowl in a morning BEFOREfeeding her pellets or veg she'll eat the hay because she's hungry.Then I feed the pellets later. Also by giving fresh hay everyday ratherthan filling the thing up and waiting till it...

The last couple of days Tigger's been feeling a bit better.... If we open the cage to feed her its a bit like an elephant charge toget out and if you're not careful she's off. We've also divided thecage into two, on the advice of the vet, to restrict her movement whileshe heals. I've spent the...

One time we were there we over heard a member ofstaff telling a kid and parents to go home and think about it and ifthey wanted to go ahead with a bunny to come back and get thehutch/cage set up first before buying the bun. I though that was quitegood!

I wasnt impressed by the "large" houses theywere selling. Although to be fair the one at Ashton had a large areaand looked to be well looked after and they'd advertised it as a houserabbit. I still wanted to rescue the poor thing...

Pets at Home in Ashton still has guinea pigs inwith the rabbits. We bought Tigger from there when we didnt know muchabout having buns and she has chunks missing from her ears from theGP's. Also we called there yesterday to get some hay and they had aHUGE new (for Easter) bunny area. I presume...

Thanks, for all the advice. I'll have a look for that book.

Sore but still using litter tray...

Tigger update: Well Tigger is now 20 weeks (approx). She's not had a very good week.On Thursday night she was binkying around and somehow managed to leadfrom the back of the sofa hitting the kitchen door. I heard the crashand came running to find her frantically dashing round the room on 3legs...

Tigger's leg is definately broken. They've takenthe cast off now because it was so restrictive to her. She's got to bekept confined in the cage for about a month. The vet says the leastspace we can give her the better. She's got room for litter tray andabout the same again for sleeping. Its her...

Tiggers accident has cost us 300 pounds so farand she's going to need follow up treatments and xrays so the final isgoing to be more like500 pounds.
