Yeah I gave her some nose scratches and made soothing noises at her haha :) I ignored the boyf in the end (as usual!) She's ignored her food so far, until I put a selection in her carry case (she hasn't left it yet) and she had a little nibble of some spinach. I think it was more of a "for...

I've just been to pick Dexter up from the vet. She seems a bit lethargic, but I've made her a bowl of fruit and veggies to try to encourage her to eat. Should I be leaving her alone now, or giving her a little stroke on the nose now and then? Boyfriend thinks that leaving her be in her room...

Yeah it seems to be any bit of carpet next to any of the walls or the hay bale. I've got some plastic mats so I think I'll pop those about. I've just taken her to the vets to be spayed, so I'm trying to do some research for uni, but it just isn't going as planned! I hope she's okay :cry2

So, right now Dexter is being a Pig-Rabbit. We're having a digging war. She's been digging at the carpets when I let her roam free in my study, so I've provided some old bedsheets so she could dig at those instead. Apparently Dexter does not like said bedsheets (unless they are out of bounds...

I've ordered the critical care, vet wrap and some syringes. Will have a trot down to the supermarket to search for baby food and re-hydration stuff tomorrow. Hopefully she'll be a trooper, she's usually really well behaved and stuff, so fingers crossed! To be fair, she's gonna be the most...

Yeah, now you've said that maybe I made it up too?! Haha I just know a lot of people who had poor rabbits that lived a lonely life at the bottom of the garden, but perhaps that's everywhere! All the pet shops seem to be pretty badly stocked for rabbits though, which is why I came to that...

God, I love Amazon... Ordered a couple of things in preparation :) Thanks again!

Oh wow, thanks so much for the advice! I'm not sure how much of this stuff will be readily available in the UK (we don't seem to love our bunnies as much as you guys over the pond) but I'll look online and see if I can order it in time :) She's definitely loving being inside! I let her run...

Hello! My name is Nicki and I am currently studying for a doctorate. I live with my boyfriend, our two housemates, and our rabbit, Dexter. Dexter and I were united in April of this year, thanks to my lovely boyfriend, Andy. I had been harping on about how much I wanted a rabbit (lionhead if I...

So we did it! Got the squares and stuff, she's a bit wary and I'll take some more pictures once she's dared to brave the top levels, but here it is sans lapin: El boyfriend made a hay rack too :D

I've just ordered some from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050SVZ9M/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) about £47 for 26 squares, connectors and cable ties. That same seller also trades on eBay and discounts some postage if you're buying more than one lot. You can also get...

I wish I could take her out in the basket, but if she jumped and I ran her over or something I'd hate myself forever! That grumpy picture of her is my fave - she looks like she should be called Geoff or something!

She's really well behaved inside the fabric run actually, I was quite surprised. We've had it about 5 months and she's been left in it overnight and it's still intact, not even a teeny nibble :) I spoke to my boyfriend and he's actually super excited about the NIC idea. We'll end up spending...

I thought I'd add a few little picture updates from Dex (she is so beautiful!) We didn't go very far on the bike, about a foot and then I was too worried she'd jump out! :)

I've been scouting about looking for where I could get wire cubes from, but they seem to be pretty scarce in the UK :( The cages I've found are actually bigger than the giant dog crate! Haha, I think I might be kicked out of my own study! We're moving house in about a year too, so I wanted one...

Hello, I've finally managed to persuade my boyfriend to let me bring Dexter inside (YAY) so she'll be living in my study. I've been looking about for cages for her, and the ones I'd narrowed it down to were these two...

So we've had Dexter for about 4 months now (I'd say she was 6-7 months old) and she's a really lovely bunny. She lets us pick her up and cuddle her, follows us round the run for some attention, and bumps your hands for a nose scratch. She lives outside, but we let her in frequently. Today my...

I've got a butterfly on my back too, but I often forget that it's there haha :) My anchor on my foot was AGONY. It only took about 45 mins - an hour, but it swelled up sooooo much :( I'd love to get more, but it's just lack of funds. Plus I'm tryna be a scientist, and even my lecturers used to...

It's a miracle! She's pooped and weed in her tray again, little genius! She's done a lot of those little squishy poops and hasn't eaten them yet, I'm a little concerned I'm feeding her too many pellets and not enough hay or something :confused2: She's off to the vet for her vaccinations...
