I have absolutely no idea, so thanks all for your input! :D

I have a darling little boy who I know is a Dutch crossbreed. Crossed with what, is what I'm interested in! The charity I got him from don't know (and it's possible I will never know either) but I'd got it into my head that long hair = Angora. He's off for the week finding love at my local...

Not necessarily. While it is possible to have different shades for different moults, sometimes fur colour can be darker while initially growing through and then the eventual coat is a lighter shade. My Mattie is just about finishing his moult and his new coat was coming through dark ginger, but...

Nowadays it is more about bounding around like a lunatic, but back in the day, my Bandit (and I love how my Bandit and Azerane's Bandit aren't that dissimilar lol) used to jump up on the table with the scarves and gloves and scrabble them around... THEN look to see if I'm watching her!

I've had a few accidents in the past... Oren used to be easy to corner thankfully, especially after he lost his full eyesight. Pandora not so much... she used to hide in a big bush and if you went one way, she'd go the other. Thankfully Mattie hasn't escaped so far, although he's tried it a few...

What strange little ears he has! Adorable :)

My first rabbit, my darling Bandit, actually used to ask to be picked up but she's a rare case! I can't actually remember how Sealy was, but my rabbits since have not been fans of being picked up. My current boy Mattie... it depends what mood he's in.

Mine will ignore shop bought wood. I take willow straight from the tree, which they eat, and back when our apple tree had more healthy wood my bunnies would eat that.

Not as much time as I'd have liked since they became garden rabbits because of space... and when the weather is cold and wet like it has been, I have to obviously catch them and bring them indoors which has two problems- my elderly cat and my mother. Looking forward to the weather improving! I...

The best of luck to you. Is it worth ringing around local vets/animal shelters etc to see if anyone knows of a nursing doe? The shelters may have some in foster? Or even a local pet shop might know of local breeders?

I would like to enter as well, thank you :)

There is citronella- you can get it in proper oil etc forms, or you can make your own like I did (boiled some orange and lemon slices to death and then left them to soak in the water overnight then bottled the water...) Probably a better way of doing that...

I've never done this in practice, but I have heard about a) distracting the new mother away from the nest and then rubbing the baby over with her fur and leaving it in the nest or even b) putting Vicks on the nose of the new mother so she can't tell the difference! lol I'm sure someone else can...

There's a morbidly obese rabbit just come in to my local shelter, I had to pick it up last week and it was like trying to hold a sack full of jelly.

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Yesterday I sat down with a bowl of soup and two slices of toast and quick as a flash Mattie had his paws on my desk, the toast off my tray and tried to run off with it, we had to have a tug of war! I don't know much about popcorn and bunnies, but I'd...

To be fair though, if she had 11 rabbits I think that's a bit different. It isn't just that he's saying "me or the rabbits", he might genuinely feel that she has more than she can care for or that they can afford, or that it's a compulsive behaviour (hoarding) or that she really has no time for...

When my rabbit had cheyletiella mites on her ears she kept scratching them on stuff. Oddly, it was only the ridge of her ears that was affected. Not all mites create dandruff.

I know, bless him, he was having such fun making a mess of himself. He's got a strange habit of occasionally trying to push mud around with his nose though, no idea why!

My first rabbit ended up with a middle name so it became a quirk to give all bunnies a middle name. Mattie came with his first name... he became officially mine as of today :) He's a ginger and white Dutch x Angora and I thought about having another Dutch middle name (my previous bunny boy who...

Some vets are willing to let you pay in installments. Would this be more favourable to your mother? I don't know how old you are, but you could offer to do chores for her etc perhaps... or if you are old enough maybe, I don't know, sell cupcakes or something to raise a little bit of money to...
