It's been ages since i've posted but i thought i would share about something that i think makes my rabbits special. On Sunday i had to have an emergency move around of my rabbits to accomodate a couple more that i had to take, and because i would be short on cages, i had to do some quick bonding...

I am getting custom made hutches soon to give my rabbits more space, but i'm torn about which is more important, length or height. Basically i have a shed that i can either get 4 long but short in height hutches in, or i can have them higher, but have one of the hutches split into 2 to...

I'm hogging the whole infirmary board at the moment, i won't even start about the kidney problems rabbit lol Anyhow, last Thursday i went to put my rabbit away that free roams in my garden, and she was lying down and didn't go in like she normally did, so on picking her up and looking at her i...

I'm just wondering if there is anything i can do to make life more bearable for my rabbit and myself, when it comes to blocked tear ducts, she is 3 and a half years old, has had a weeping eye most of her life, but now it is ridiculous and i'm at my wits end, it keeps being flushed by the vets...

I am just wondering because of my previous situation of 2 rabbits giving birth together and then being kept seperate because of them fighting, how soon can i spay them to try and re-bond them and prevent more births? They both gave birth on the 1st Oct, Mum Tatty ending up abandoning her babies...

Following on from my other thread, i'm not 100% if one lot of babies was fed by mum, one seems slightly round, and one seems flatish at the sides and the runt is skinny as before, he doesn't have the strength or the body function to fight for the milk. Anyway, as i'm not sure if these guys have...

I have just had the surprise of my life, i've just found 7 live and 1 dead baby! The problem is there were 2 unneutered females together, mum and baby, mum seems to have loads of blood on her, but her daughter has a little blood inside her bits, help! I've kept 'mum' with babies and daughter...

I just am getting a bit annoyed and want opinions if this is being unreasonable or not... I have taken a few rabbits from friends, and friends of friends as favours to help people out, some were just keen to get rid of them, and some were really attached and they really appreciated me taking...

I've posted this on a pig forum but nobody answered and i would like some help before i do anything in case it won't work and messes up current bondings. I currnetly have 2 pairs of female pigs, and a trio, and a lone male pig. The females i have had in a run together for a few hours, a few...

I have had a few bonding questions for a while and i have been storing them up but now i have another question too so i thought i had to post. Firstly my bonding questions.... 1.Ihave loads of rabbits i am trying to get all in pairs or groups, as a general rule what 2 personalities would go...

I have an angora rabbit who sometimes gets a couple of matts so i bought a new tool the other day for matt removal, however on using it, a lot of the fur came away from her lower back, and now there is just a circle there of very short new hair, is this caused by moulting and the fur would come...

I have a rabbit that just doesn't do much at all, when he's let out he tends to sit there and not explore or anything, in his cage he eats and lies, doesn't play with his toys or anything. I bonded him with a female a few months back to try and cheer him up but it doesn't seem to work, any ideas...

Just curious as to how often, it at all people check their bunny's teeth and butts (in case of messy bottoms), especially in the case of people with loads like me! My vet emphasizes how important it is to do all the time but i wonder if it is just my vet as i have never seen posts on here about...

Well as the title suggests i'm not having a great time! Will just give a brief run down of my last 2 months just for the hell of it too! I have rabbits and guineas and this is what has happened... First a guinea dies of suspected kidney failure, a week later a rabbit is pts for kidney and all...

I have just adopted 2 lionhead cross rabbits from a friend of a friend, and on getting them i was told one would eat absolutely anything, she will steal food off of your dinner plate to eat and her favourite thing is sandwiches!! Obviously i am going to feed her a normal healthy diet from now...

I had a rabbit castrated a month ago, and this morning i found him out with an intact girl, i don't know how long they were together for because he was out during the night, he just wouldn't be caught to put away last night. So i know males can in theory get a girl pregnant after a castration...

I don't know if this has been done before, but over the last few weeks it has been apparent to me i have a few tell tale signs of having too many rabbits so i thought i would start this off, but please post about when you know your life is controlled by rabbits too or anything similar! So here...

Well i thought as i had a few tales to tell, i should do a proper blog about my bunnies, bear with me while i start from me having 2 buns to having 27 (!!!!!) and i'm not even a breeder (well not deliberately anyway!). So a about 3 years ago i was a bit down, needing something to cuddle and...

I know speed isn't really important when bonding, and it is the eventual outcome is the most important thing, but i was wondering if anyone has managed to bond successfully really quickly. I have just done my first bonding and i got the 2 living together in one of their hutches in a week. The...

I just thought i would see how you guys think my bonding is going. I am bonding grumpy my french lop doe with her now neutered son, but they have been apart for about 4 months or a bit more. She has always been able to see him, and her other sons because she free roams and goes to visit their...
