    Syphilis?

    Thank you, if it is just a buildup of sebum then that's great news. Because of where it is I think I'm going to contact my vet tomorrow anyway and get an appointment for sometime next week so they can check over her and make sure it's not something that needs treatment.

    Syphilis?

    Hi, yes it does look like those. The second one does link to Treponematosis though, which I thought is the rabbit form of syphilis... I thought maybe Ash was a carrier of it and passed it to Bluebell. Ash's mother was surrendered to a rescue while pregnant with him and his siblings, so it's...

    Syphilis?

    When I've applied pressure to the area, it looks like there's actually two spots It's been a while since I've applied a preventative flea/mite/fly treatment so I'll go ahead and do that anyway.

    Syphilis?

    Hi - so today I found a white spot on Bluebell's vagina. I can't find any good photos online of what rabbit syphilis pimples looked like, but I wondered whether than could be the cause? She's been with Ash for the past fortnight, and I wondered if maybe the weird spot on his nose (it never went...

    Bonding - small wounds

    Thank you, I have two shirts which are slightly different sizes, so I'm washing and changing them daily as Ash keeps weeing on her 🤦‍♀️ (stinky boy! 😂) So far it's proved really helpful in keeping him off her, and it doesn't seem to bother her much at all. I've expanded their space in the...

    Bonding - small wounds

    I've put Blues in a medical shirt - so we'll see how that goes 🤞 so far Ash keeps trying to dig at it, which isn't great but she jumps away from him and it won't be going through the material. I think it's safe to say she's not thrilled with me at the moment though!

    Bonding - small wounds

    Great - thank you for all the information! Yes, I definitely like the idea of giving her somewhere with a low ceiling where he can't mount her. I might try the shirt - I'll do my best to clean her off first mind. She pure white so it's very obvious where the urine is! 🫣 Okay, so they're in my...

    Bonding - small wounds

    Yeah - I'm pretty certain the bite marks on her back are from him getting grip of her because I've been watching them - he's a bit smaller than her so they're about as far up as he can reach! I have spotted him nipping her sometimes other than that to try and tell her who's boss. Unfortunately...

    Bonding - small wounds

    Thank you for your reply. I keep applying a little Flamazine to the area on her back as I have it on hand - I also have leucillin which I have considered using, but I was told by a vet once that some rabbits get irritated by it so I thought maybe Flamazine was a better option... unfortunately...

    Bonding - small wounds

    Thank you - if he ever does have to go under anaesthetic I'll definitely be asking them to neuter him at the same time! I just won't be risking his life unless I have to. They do seem to be getting on really well - much better than I expected seeing as he's intact. It's just a shame he's...

    Bonding - small wounds

    He has been - he stopped breathing for over 6 minutes. I've seen multiple vets and they've all made the recommendation that I don't try to get him neutered again. They have told me to try and bond him as he is and see how it goes.

    Bonding - small wounds

    Hi, so I'm bonding Ash (intact male) and Bluebell (spayed female). Background - I know this isn't recommended, but Ash is high-risk for anaesthetic and their personalities seem pretty compatible. It seems to be going well - they both groom each other, cuddle up together etc. Every now and then...

    Streak of urine on tail

    Hi, a few times over the past week I've noticed Ash has had a streak of urine/a stain on the centre of his tail - just below his genitals. I also picked him up off a rug once to find a few drops of urine on the rug, and some on his tail. He's fine in himself - he's busy, running around and...

    Is VetBed Safe?

    I know! It's a good job he's cute! Here he is preparing to rip down the decorations - for tax 😂He's a little goblin, but I love him 😅 (and yes - the lovely hedgehog fleece has now been removed from his pen due to safety concerns 🙃🤦🏼‍♀️) I'm hoping the VetBed will do the trick. The socks look...

    Is VetBed Safe?

    Thank you - this is all really helpful! I don't think Ash or Bluebell have ever consumed anything they've chewed/ripped up - I think they just enjoy the destruction itself 😅 I've ordered a 1m x 1.5m section of non-slip VetBed which will cover some of Ash's pen so I'll see what he thinks of it...

    Is VetBed Safe?

    Hiya, I'm considering using VetBed in Ash's pen (background context below), but he digs and chews up blankets - so I don't know whether it would be safe? I contacted the VetBed company and they said, 'if your rabbits like to chew and rip blankets/ bedding I believe Vetbed will not be...

    Rabbit with a taste for rubber- any suggestions?

    I use Grannicks Bitter Apple Spray (image attached) - it works for my buns 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've found I only have to use it for a few days at a time if they're interested in one particular spot, and then when they learn that it tastes bad they give up. I've also sprayed it on furniture to stop them weeing...
