Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply, JBun. All sounds good sense and yes, I'll be cautious - probably a slow process of one baby at a time!

Does anyone have experience of introducing baby kits to older bunnies in the household? Our situation: One of our does had a surprise litter 4 weeks ago (a wild rabbit must have interloped). She has a neutered male partner and her sister is bonded with a neutered male too - all 4 bunnies have...

Thank you for your input, everyone, that's really interesting. Pembrokeshire is in Wales, by the way - and we have a lot of rain. I wonder if that has helped wash our doe from any scent if she mated with a wild rabbit, it was raining during the days she was away and she came home suitably soggy...

Hello all, our unspeyed doe escaped her enclosure (and her neutered male) on Monday; she was missing 5 days but we amazingly found and recaptured her. She had been not far away from our smallholding, but definitely could have had a 'fling' with the wild rabbits, so she may be pregnant. If anyone...

That's really interesting to read that she does it when excited. I was wondering how to interpret the same vocalisations of one of our 4 rabbits. My 2 male angora cross bunnies never grunt, but our 2 does (especially one) have become very vocal (they are Old English pure breed). I was thinking...

Hi, thank you - the brothers are one year old, and neutered. I think we may have made mistakes along the way with our bunnies, as we are new to it all, so please bear with me - perhaps I should have ridden out the storms of them fighting so awfully, but it seemed to me that we should get 2 does...

Thank you for your ideas!

Thank you, I really appreciate your thoughts.

Hello, I have 2 brother bunnies who fell out when they reached sexual maturity, they fight each time they are put together again, but they seem to like (after a bit of chasing) being alongside each other in runs. We rescued 2 does in February, and these both took a shine to one of the males, who...

Thank you!

Thank you! Can I ask, why not to bring unspayed rabbits in (excuse my ignorance, I am new to this)? Our local rescue centre can't offer the pre-bonding service, and sadly, we can't offer constant aerial protection to our bunnies which the centre require (it's really hard to rescue a rabbit! But...

Hello, I have 2 young, male brother bunnies, neutered and housed separately since they started fighting. I am researching to get them each a female partner and am wondering whether certain breeds adapt best to one another? The brothers are part angora (father), but I'm not sure what breed the...

Thank you both.

I took my 2 male brother bunnies for a car ride, it really helped: the aggressive brother started grooming his sibling, it was astonishing. Sibling brother has taken longer to trust his once-aggressive brother (they remember!), but I can now house them together - although I'm still keeping a...

Perhaps you could use lice powder or diatomaceous earth, which we use to keep hens and their coops free of lice etc. You would need to check if they are safe for rabbits.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what to put over the earth of a now-muddy outdoor run? We use rubber chips for the hens, but rabbits would probably chew those. I'm wondering about the tough rubber mats used for horses' stables, but maybe the rabbits would have a chew on those too? Has...
