My little Nana is a nightmare rabbit! she gets into absolutely EVERYTHING and chews it to pieces. We are still trying suggestions as to how to prevent the damage. So far a spray bottle seems to be having an effect, but we will need to review our bunny-proofing. I stored the bag of pellets...

Panda is gorgeous :D! Thanks so much for the info folks, very helpful! I have a spray bottle and it seems to be helping get the message through regarding the couch but I think I'll definitely have to review my bynny-proofing to stop the chewing. I can confine them to the larger room in the...

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I will definitely try a spray bottle. No she is not spayed, but she will be in the next couple of months and I'm hoping that will help. I read that spraying vinegar on things can help repel naughty bunnies, would that help? The problem with confining her is that...

Hi all, About a month ago I added a new bunny to my family, and she and my other rabbit were bonded within four days, lucky me! My first bunny is an angel, he's perfectly litter trained, never chews anything or goes places he shouldn't...the new bun is a furry little demon! Her previous...

Thanks for the reassurance :) I THINK his poo is normal...there's a lot of it XD There have been a couple of very big ones, is that normal? He seems to eat quite a lot, so I'm happy with his appetite, but he doesn't appear to drink much. The first day or two he was here, he didn't seem to...

Hi folks, Nibbler has only been with us since Saturday, but he seems to have settled in very well. He LOVES being petted, and doesn't seem afraid of anything. I just have some questions about his behaviour and diet, as he's the first rabbit I've lived with. He lives in the house, and is...

Nibbler has made it very clear that he does NOT...he has peed on me every time I've picked him up :P He does tolerate it, no attempts to get away, for which I'm grateful. I'm quite happy to let him keep all four feet firmly planted on the ground, but it's nice to know I CAN pick him up if it's...

Hi Heather, welcome :) I just joined today too, and already had several people quickly give me excellent advice that yielded excellent results...a very nice forum!

Good news, just spotted Nibbler having a nice long drink from his bowl, and he's now going to town on a pile of hay :D Thanks so much for all the good advice, it worked a treat! I guess it's easy to be distracted from boring things like eating, when there's fun to be had elsewhere, Agnes...

Wow, that sounds lovely! I always lived with animals as a child, but my OH and I had lived in this place for nearly two years before making the decision to add animals into the mix. I like my house a lot better now that there are animals here, and we'll probably be getting a friend for Nibbler...

No water drinking as of yet, but he has both the bowl and the sipper bottle in there. I think "hutch time" is a good idea...aside from anything else, it'll coincide nicely with the rats' free-range time, and I won't have to worry about and rabbit/rat scuffles. I feel the rats would come off...

YES! We have poop!

He can see what's going on outside from the hutch, and keeps staring at me with those big brown eyes :P Should I put something over the hutch so he can't be distracted by us, or so that he feels unobserved?

Maggie and the ratties are beautiful! I just love furry faces :)

Ok, the box is soaking wet, so that's not possible, but he has been sitting in the litter tray...maybe that's a good sign? Oh dear, he's not very happy about being in there though...he's scratching and chewing the wire O.o

I've set the hutch up with litterbox, food, and water...I feel terrible, it's a very small hutch, but at least now there shouldn't be anything to distract him from eating, drinking, and "toilet-ing". Very good idea about the box, it's sitting outside...I'll fetch the scissors!

I do have a hutch for him, but I left it wide open for him to just free roam. That's actually a good thought, I'll get the hutch set up now!

He has peed on me, and in the box we brought him home in, but I haven't seen him pee since. The previous owner did give us the pellets he's used to having, so they are available to him, and he has had some. I'll see if I can make him drink, maybe that will help get things moving. I wondered...

Nibbler's lovely lop-sided ears: Chilling after chewing his phone book: The one time Molly stayed still long enough for a clear picture: Harriet likes to scoop my tea up in her hands and lick it off...and make a huge mess :)

Thanks for the welcomes :) Rats are definitely awesome animals to share your home with. I love my rats to pieces, they never fail to cheer me up. My girlies are very adventurous, so I'm hoping their natural curiosity will outweigh any fear they have of Nibbler. I'll have some pictures...
