Our rabbits live outside in hutches that havebuilt in runs. These are on the patio on paving flags. We also have afolding run without a base that we move around the lawn and they getturns in that. They are very happy out there together and we wouldnever keep rabbits inside again. Every night we...

Fudge and Treacle lived very happily togetherfor years. The worst that happened was Fudge got fat, and Treacle hadthe fur preened to the point of being bald in between his eyes, and helooked rather odd. They were seperated until it grew back and the habitwas broken. This was while they were at...

Great news you are getting a rabbit. Yes theylive very well with Guinea pigs, the only problem Treacle had when hewas kept with Fudge was that Fudge ate all the food and got really fat.

This reminds me of the day when we found outthat our back garden was not as bunny tight as we thought. We were sopleased when Liquorice decided to return after an hour looking none andthe worse and wondering what all the fuss was about. Worth posting tomake sure others don't have to go through this.

Pleased you are keeoing the rabbit. They makethe most wonderful pet, but be careful of anything valuable andchewable when it is loose in the house. Ours love their run in thegarden and I have posted pics on another forum but need to re-boot tofind them.So bye 4 now

In the Americas, no as all domestic rabbits aredescended from European wild rabbits, so here in the UK, be carefulletting your does out!

He was fine after the flush. I droped him off at8-30 in case they needed to give him a GA, at 10-30 they rangup to collect him, it was just a 1/2 hour consultation fee plus the newbottle of antibiotic and he was sitting in his travel carrier likenothing had happened.

The first time his ducts were flushed under thegeneral anaesthetic it did not work, they were too blocked. Howeverthis time he was not having his teeth filed so since he was a good boyit could be done under local. I'm so happy for him he is sucha sweet little rabbit.

Well just a note to thank you all for your helpand advice. Treacle went back in today and had his tear ducts flushedfor the second time, and it worked. This time he was doneunder local and made no fuss, he is such a good boy. The vet put 10ccof saline through both and saw it come out of his...

Glad your rabbit survived, sounds like you didthe least worst thing. I used to let our Lionhead run around the"rabbit proof" back garden while I worked on her hutch, but not aftershe got out and it took an hour to find and catch her and all the timewith a very good chance of her being killed.

Hey that's OK, thanks for thinking of me, andmore importatly Treacle. He has got quite used to his eye drops so longas I can see to do it in his hutch, he is so sweet did you see his picsin the Rabbit forum?

The vet was pleased with Treacles improvementbut did not flush his ducts. She wants him to have another week oftreatment and then have him in to file the spurs on his teeth and flushhis ducts. She reckons that at his age and considering his generalhealth , which is good, he would stand a 99 to...

Sorry, he was our daughters rabbit. I wil ask her and see if she can recall. You can read about him in infirmary.

Here he is,poor little Treacle

Thanks everyone, and for the links. Treacle's eyes are nearly claer now but I will have him flushed. The vet is this PM.
