Hi, Sadly one of our bunnies Narla was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this that they could share. We had her investigated due to her third eye lids showing at unusual times but that was her only symptom. Thank you

Hello! Sorry second post in two days from me! I just wondered if anyone could help with advice on cleaning a dirty bottom, mostly urine and a bit of dried poo. We had a go today using the method the vet suggested which was to soak cotton wool and wipe him down but honestly felt like we weren’t...

Hi, I’m looking to find an alternative to newspaper that is more absorbent. Back in December one of my bunnies had to have a bladder stone removed and have never properly used the litter tray since. He tends to use newspaper but this is not very good and absorbing and he keeps getting urine on...

Hello, We are currently trying to sell our house and need to contain our bunnies in their travel carrier while we tidy up and do the viewing. I was wondering how long they would be okay in their carrier. It could take around 1-2 hours will they be okay for this amount of time. Thank you 😊

For the last few weeks I have found small amounts of wee outside of my bunnies litter box. I have two bunnies and couldn't work out which one it was. Both have had urine checks and x rays today which have not found anything wrong. The vet was expecting to find bladder stones or sludge as the...

For the last month or so I have found that hay quality in the uk is a bit problematic ( I know that hay is affected by various weather conditions when grown so it's hard to control). I usually feed a mix of soft cut and coarse cut Timothy hay but my bunnies are not liking it so much at the...

Got my little Eden checked by the vet today as it looked like he had a lump behind one of his front legs. Vet said for now to monitor it as it is not attached to anything and his behaviour is normal. His weight is also stable which is a good sign (although he needs to loose weight really but I...

Our vet commented that our house bunnies were a little overweight a few months ago and changing just their diet has not really helped with weight loss at this point. The vet thinks exercise is likely a big contributing factor now. While they have space I feel like they are very lazy by choice so...

Hello, The vets have advised on our yearly check up that our buns are a little overweight even though we have been feeding them as recommended. I have tried to reduce the amount they are fed and was wondering if this seemed like a sensible plan. I have attached pics for reference of their new...

Hi everyone, I need to help my indoor buns loose some weight. They are fed the same diet as my outdoor buns (living in garage but without central heating) and have a similar exercise space. However, I believe the indoor buns are putting on weight as do not burn calories keeping warm like the...

Hello, My girl Dotty has suddenly taken a liking to grooming over her Partners eyes. Is this normal? I suspected he had a weepy eye but couldn’t get to the bottom of the problem until I caught her doing it 🤦‍♀️. He isn’t bothered by her grooming him like that I can just see the fur is a little...

Hi, We live in a hard water area and I’m concerned this will not be good for our bunnies. I was thinking of getting a water filter jug to purify the water before I give it to them. Does anyone know if this would be a safe thing to do? Thanks :)

Hello, What would everyone suggest as the best veg and herbs for a low calcium diet but still with plenty of variety. I am noticing quite a lot of calcium deposit in my bunnies urine at the moment so I want to reduce calcium for a bit to see if that helps. Thank you 😊

Hi everyone I just wanted to share a technique I used for clipping my bunnies nails as I’ve never been able to do it myself in the two years I’ve had them and I know other owners struggle with this. I made a small square out of some spare grid pieces which I use for my enclosures (pic attached)...

Hi all, I have decided to take the plunge and try adding litter pellets back in to my trays. I gave up with litter a while ago as my bunnies repeatedly dug in the tray and it made the mess 100x worse! Over the past few months the digging has stopped so I want to try again, I’ve gone for wood...

Hello, I have always found that two of my four bunnies have very sensitive tummies and I have to be careful to prevent them getting gas pain. I currently feed burgess excel pellets but wondered if there might be something out there more suitable for particularly sensitive buns? I reduced the...

Hi, I am looking for some suggestions for toys that would encourage digging for my indoor rabbits. If you have a dig box indoors what material do you use in it that is easy to clean? Thank you :)

Asked my partner to get some cleaning spray for the rabbits and he came back with the one meant for cats rather than the small animal spray I normally use 🤦‍♀️ Can I still use this or will it be unsafe?

I’m confused which hay I should get for my rabbits. I’m changing hay supplier and have a choice between the two, I don’t really know if one is better than the other. I tried them with a sample of both and they ate both and were probably more keen on the meadow hay. I’m unsure which would be best...

So I was really gutted to find out that my rabbits favourite chew toy is actually made from unsuitable materials that are in fact potentially hazardous. I’ve never had an issue with it but after what I’ve read it doesn’t feel right to continue to give it to them. I need some other safe ideas for...
