    Is there a breed more suitable for people with fur allergies?

    Hi, so a friend of mine has been asking for advice as she wants to get a rabbit, however she is allergic to some fur. (She has cats and they sometimes affect her, although not always) She asked me if I knew of any rabbits that don't shed/moult as much, so I told her I would find out for her and...

    Flower Identification?

    Can my male start his bonding?

    Hi there, my male was castrated 4 weeks ago and I have already got a female, but haven't brought her home yet, I was just wondering if I can bring her home and start their bonding process?

    Advice for after anaesthetic?

    OK, so on Monday Truffles got neutered and all was well, apart from when the vet was removing his cannula from his ear he jumped and she snipped his ear, so the vet said she would stitch it up free of charge the next day. When I brought him home Monday night he was eating, pooping, peeing and...

    Double coated mini lop?!

    OK, so I have decided on the rabbit I am getting for Truffles, she is a chocolate mini lop and is 6 weeks, so I won't be getting her for at least another 6 weeks. However I am just wondering about her fur, it seems as though she is double coated, it is long and fluffy/fuzzy. This doesn't bother...

    Honking - does he need a friend

    Hi, so my male rabbit has started circling me and honking which I have read is a courting/amourous behaviour. I don't mind him doing this, but I'm thinking would it be better for him to have a female to have this behavior with? He's never lonely as I only work a few hours a week and when I'm out...

    Okay, this is going to seem like weird question. But are there such things as hermaphrodite rabbits? Truffles has been sexed multiple times by vets, breeders etc as female, however last night I noticed a set of testicle looking things? Could I have a hermaphrodite rabbit. I have sent pictures...

    What materials are safe to use for toys?

    So, I'm kinda creative and want to start making Truffles her own toys as the ones I buy her she destroys fairly quickly and toys are expensive in all pet shops near me. What materials are safe and make for a good rabbit toy? I already have things like natural loofah and siscal string, but is...
