Hi mariethomas, I am a very newbie to buns but thought I'd add my similar experience with my bun 'Wilbur'. He had same irritated eye thing,it never really got yucky but always looked wet around the fur and looked like he'd been scratching it. Vet gave me antibiotics for it but never made a...

Sorry I haven't replied to you all and thanks for all the support. Well Wilmah's op was cancelled as the vet was called away on a farm emergency. So I have to go through all the angst again, Wilmah was fine but I had admit I was relieved when I got the call of apology. So next Friday I do it all...

Hi All, I have booked Wilmah in for desexing tomorrow and I'm very nervous, more so than when I was with Doc Wilbur's op. She is such a sweety I'd never forgive myself if anything went wrong and I'm sure Doc wouldn't either. When I sit on the floor she rubs herself over me like a cat...

Hmmmm a 2nd bun! I will be honest I wish I hadn't got the 2nd bun, don't get me wrong I love Wilmah to bits but 2 buns are a lot of work. It wasn't as straight forward as I had thought and no matter how much research I did, it didn't prepare me for the spraying and the juggling of separate play...

Hi, I'm a first time bun slave as well. I got my first bun, British Giant 'Doc Wilbur' 5 months ago and now have a doe 'Wilmah' same breed and she's 5 months old. Absolutely loving being a crazy bun person :hugsquish: cheers shooni

this is 'Wilmah Wabbit' she's a British Giant, the breeder said her colour is called a blue but she is changing as she matures (as they do) and also Doc Wilbur.

thanks troller. Yep definately getting her desexed as she has just started spraying and when I say spraying I mean 'showering everything in a 5 meter radius!' I copped it,Doc copped it, the furniture, curtains, Yeh Na, not having that thankyou! She has sprayed everything in her pen and I've had...

Thanks Azerane. Yes they both British Giants so still got a lot of growing to do. Well, Wilmah turned the tables on Doc today and she was trying to hump him all the time, front, back, side,she didn't care! He did not like it he sulked terribly,he even went as far as turning his back on her in...

Thank you Azerane & Troller. Wilmah is 5 months old and Wilbur is 7 months old and desexed. I had read about the health issues of not desexing a doe and am really wanting to desex her for those reasons. I was planning to desex her at 6 - 7 months of age depending on her size (for the vets down...

Hi All, I posted some questions in a different thread about bonding but must have been wrong place, Ooops sorry! I have read most of the old threads about bonding and I guess I'm after a little reassurance that the behavior that I'm seeing is right to keep moving forward. Today Doc called...

Wow man, you really did a list! Well done for putting so much effort and time into getting it right before you bring your bunny home, your way more prepared than I was :goodjob. I can't remember what type of bun your getting so a lot of the stuff you listed will depend on the size of the bun, Oh...

Hi thatkiidsean, I'm new to buns as well so I'll share what I purchased before I brought Doc home, but bare in mind I live in Tasmania so brands won't be any use to you. 1) litter tray (if inside rabbit buy 2 and have one in hutch one inside) 2) food, pellets, lucerne, hay 3)food bowls x 3 4)...

Hi All, just thought I'd update on the bonding process for Doc Wilbur and his girlfriend. Firstly we've had a name change for her' Blu-Bree' just wasn't her so she is now called 'Wilmah Wabbit'. I think the bonding process has been going well,I now allow them out together for supervised...

Hi, first I am a beginner when it comes to bunnies but will share what I do each time a new pet enters our household. 1) cuddle, pat the new member get their scent all over your clothes,hands etc. (make sure health is ok of all animals) 2) we then interact with the other animals letting them...

Last night my son got Blu-Bree out on the couch for some cuddle time but forgot to clip the pen back up and 'Yes' you guessed it Doc Wilbur didn't want to be left out and he pushed his way out of his pen! (Cheeky devil!) He found us on the couch with Blu-Bree and joined us (my heart skipped many...
