Hi Folks I know I have given this thread a rather frivolous title but I'm actually very peterbed by this situation to the point where it is 4.30am and I'm still awake worrying about my bunnies and what to do for the best! I really hope some of you might be able to give me some answers. My 2...

Hi - yes the bunnies are totally back to normal now - it only took a couple of week for the rest of the harvest flies to bug off and disappear! I felt so bad for my babies but they are fine now. It is a possibility that in late summer next year the buns could get reinfested at harvest time but...

The vet phoned me yesterday after speaking with a collegue and suggested I bring the buns back and we vaccinate them with ivomectin - which I understand may prevent further re-infestations which are likely to happen as our garden borders loads of long grass near a school. Hopefully this may do...

Ok, went to the vets yesterday - she said it's a parasite on the eye corners called Harvest Mite! She had never seen it on rabbits before - only dogs, sheep etc!!! Bit of a worry as she didn't have anything to treat it with as the only licensed treatment was for larger animals. She has give me...

Hi everyone Last week I noticed a tiny spot of bright orange crustiness next to my female Roxy's eye - just one eye - I tried to pick it out thinking it was just pollen/ dirt but it wasn't coming out easily so I left it and it disappeared. This morning my male rabbit has the same thing in just...

Sorry for the size of the initial pictures folks - I've resized - hopefully this is better...

Roxy grooms Benjamin: Double ears:

Hi everyone Here is a new blog for my newly bonded pair...Benjamin and Roxy.... Here is the new shed/ run combo that they share: Snuggled together in the doorway of the hutch which is built into the interior of the shed:

Fingers crossed here but I'm hoping the buns are now bonded! They have been together for over 24 hrs and are sitting together harmoniously and grooming each other - yeah - I am so pleased!!!There is still a tiny bit of humping going on but it's not often and it's usually diffused before it even...

Well.....(in hushed tones)....we're in the neutral territory room, and things seem to be going ok..... We went for our car ride at 6.30 which I'm not sure was successful or not - there was no fighting en-route but Benjamin did clamber on top of Roxy's head as he was frightened. As soon as I got...

Hi, yes that's right. Twinkle got very ill so we had to make the hard decision to put her to sleep back in early May and we're now trying to bond him to a new friend.
