He is so cute!! What amazing ears!!

Thank you for saving the babies!!!

Hi all. So, my bun has become completely dependent after lockdown. We’ve been around 24/7 for three months and he can now not cope with us being away, even for a few hours. He always poops and eats in the evening, without fail, but the last few times we’ve been out for the evening, we have...

Thanks for your replies! He’s a Dutch, 1 year, 2.2kg and not under or over as far as vet says :) His moult got stuck basically, and they thought of it as potentially a nutrients problem, he gets very gassy with quite a few greens. I’m basically worried as he had molar spurs about 12 weeks ago...

I should say, I upped it on vet advice. His moulting has gone funny as a result of lack of nutrients! :)

Hi all. So I used to feed my baby about 20/30g or pellets a day. He ate them all in one go. I’ve recently upped it to 50/60g a day, he doesn’t finish them all in one go. He eats for a long time. Leaves about 10 pellets. Has a little break, eats the rest half an hour later/ an hour later. He...

Hi! Thought I’d chip in. My Vets4Pets have been AMAZING. They are above a Pets at Home and such they get loads of bunnies in, so are really good with rabbits. I may just have been lucky but I’d say if you go to one in a pet shop which sells rabbits the vets above tend to be more rabbit savvy...

Hi guys. Thanks for all your advice. I’ve tried really hard to do all the things you’ve suggested - he loves orchard hay. 11 weeks later, he’s started to not finish his pellets again, which I know is a warning sign. He’s not in any pain like last time. the only thing is - I’ve checked his...

I recently took my bun to the vet as he was shaking his ears and I was afraid of mites. Turns out there was nothing wrong with him and he just gets annoyed when his hair gets in his ears - he is moulting at the moment and the hair annoys him in his ears! :) maybe moulting? X

Haha - he’s a nutter! Honestly. He runs so fast and for so long he can barely catch his breath - when he first started doing it I had a heart attack as I was worried he’d collapse! He’s a mad man. He’s just learnt to jump on the window ledge... it’s a nightmare! Oreo looks gorgeous xx

He was panting because he’d just run around - (he has always done it, works himself silly he flops and pants) it’s literally only after he’s done a huge run around, 20 minutes of zoomies, jumping on the bed etc!! I assumed that wet nose is because he was hot? Hoping it’s not snuffles!! thanks...

Hi all. I just wondered whether rabbits get a runny nose on occasions and it’s NOT snuffles? Bun had been running around like a mad man, flopped on the floor and I noticed his nose was a tiny bit wet on one side. Completely clear. He hasn’t had a wet nose for the rest of the day, hasn’t...

Thanks so much! I think it’s one of those things when I looked at it TOO much the last few days.... rabbits eyes are actually quite strange! Thanks for you help x

I think so! Here’s his eyes from above!

Oh phew thank you! It only happens when he’s really excited - or after he’s had an intense workout, so that would make sense. He doesn’t bulge any other time! Thanks for calming my fears!

Hi all. I've noticed that recently when Barn has done some pretty intense exercise (many zooms, LOTS of digging etc) his eyes become really wide and seem like they're bulging. When his breathing slows down and he chills out - they're much more normal. Is that a normal rabbit thing? Should...

Hi all! I’m growing some indoor Timothy grass for my bun but the only compost available at the supermarket was this: https://www.gardenhealth.com/gro-sure-easy-containers-compost I know it sounds stupid but am I okay to feed bun grass that has had plant food in the soil? I will cut the...

Thanks! Yes - poor little one had his spurs taken off a few weeks ago! I bought orchard hay as I read horror stories about every 6 weeks - orchard hay has the most silica apparently!! :)

Ah thank you! He uses a bottle when in his xpen at night and a bowl when he’s free roaming - he doesn’t seem to like the bowl very much! I’ve switched the hay back as a test and his poops have returned back to golden and slightly bigger so maybe I’ll go for a mixture from now on! He’s also...

Hello all. I hope you are all staying safe. I’ve switched to Orchard Hay as recommended by some lovely people on here (Barn has molar spurs, so trying to wear them down!). Thing is I’ve noticed two things, literally on the day, I switched hays. Are they normal? a) Poops are now a much...
