Well, final post on this thread, we dropped her off Sunday and I'm absolutely heartbroken. My head is telling me half of me has done the right thing, they currently have a big lop boy in so after her spay they're hoping to bond the pair. She has a lovely new area to go into too. The other part...

Oh wow he's lovely!! We've never actually had coins, I'm looking to bulk up the flock actually so they look well worth a look they're beautiful! Look at him eyeballing you 😂

Thank you! You're are gorgeous!! 😍 Love my chickens, aren't they just the best? They're so funny I could watch them all day, the silkies look like they have fluffy pantaloons! 🤣 No we don't have bearded (yet) one is a USA from show stock called Spud and the other WAS Nessie but is now Neddie...

Thank you for your caring comment, honestly its not something we wanted to do, we travelled a couple of hours to get a well bred nice looking girl so I didn't just go and get any rabbit! We researched but I think we just got a bit unlucky this time :( Yes absolutely parents personality does...

Its a shame you aren't, we unfortunately aren't in agreat place in the UK for meeting people/socials so we don't know many people around, let alone rabbit people with more experience than me :( We have previously had rescues so in the future I think you're right and we may go back, we've had...

Hi all, I know some of you have asked for updates so thought I'd let you know she's going this week, hopefully to a rabbit specialist rescue, we have to travel travel bit further but I think she needs some 1-2-1 time with an expert to access her suitability to be someone's pet. Unfortunately...

I agree! I work in the vetinary field and theyir personality is just ridiculous. Any other animal would be used to routines, things done a certain way, trauma that has affected them etc but I think they just wake up and choose on the day? Primarily I'm a horse person and their background plays a...

Thank you for this advice though, they can vary so much and even as a vet nurse I've NO idea why, some practises are CLEARLY money making, but $500?!?!? thankfully mine isn't pricey, we're just feeling the pinch with the cost of living as everyone is that I'm having to stay up and work a second...

Maybe they aren't cruel for no reason, but I have dealt with animals who are qnd she sure seems like it. Also yes I have worked with horses for months including hormonal mares, I am aware hormones can play a big part bit part of my original question was how strong they are in severe cases with...

Thank Thabk you for four reply. Glad I'm not alone with the destructive problem! As much as I hate that, it's her foul attitude I'm most worried about! No I don't even ATTEMPT picking her up, I'm not that brave, and I ride horses! Lol I certainly won't miss the energy, and certainly not...

Y Yes I have spoken with our vet, she is old enough now but even working at the practise it isn't a cheap procedure and to be honest I'm wondering whether it's worth us paying and going through the recovery in case she still isn't at all nice if you know what I mean. I understand that is a...

Thank you for your response. I hope it will pay off, but mine isn't even a rescue, just horrible with no excuse!! All my rescue horses have been much more understanding and easy to work with, even the super mean ones that have taken months to come qround haven't been that cruel for no reason...

Thank you for the advice. She was checked over not too long ago by our vet and he found nothing wrong with her and the vet recommended waiting a couple months to spayed her. I couldn't even begin to imagine mine being that sweet ever. I thought earning trust and building another rabbit...

Thank you for your response, it's actually really nice to hear because I keep blaming myself, especially as I've owned so much and work in the vet field :( Its also great to hear that she may change greatly with spaying, I was worried if there is that big of a change but it does sound worth...

Thank You for the great advice! I do try this every time but she ends up going back to the carpet eventually. Her favourite is baking paper and paper booklets (like old instruction manuals) that's one thing she is good for, she's a great paper shredder!! 🤣
