In work we are losing bunnies from the same litter over the last 2 weeks. We are down to the last two - I hope I got them in time, by insisting they went to the vets today, on the first sign of one of them getting bloated. The vet did an autopsy on the body of one of the other rabbits, and...

Hi all, This is something I wanted to address, because our assistant mangeress in work tells people to do it when they buy a rabbit, and it sounds wrong to me...but don't want to say anything unless I'm 100% sure that it's bad info. She tells them no pellets for 24 hours when they bring a...

Dear Scruffy, When I left work on Friday you were your usual happy, frisky self after I'd let you and your cage mates out for a play while I cleaned quaranteen. Over the weekend they put you out on the floor for sale, and for some reason - no-one noticed you losing weight and becoming bloated...

Hello you lot of smart bunny people, I have a question that seems kind of strange, however I think it might be possible. It's about munchkin, my gorgeous, toothless netherland dwarf. When I rescued him from the shelter - they said he had been neutered when the vet removed his teeth...however...

Hello all, Yesterday's conversation with pet store manageress on looking at white rabbit: Her "Oh this rabbit is definitely not pregnant" This morning - another member of staff discovers extremely stressed white rabbit trying to murder her newborn. *sigh* Anyway - the babies had been removed...

Oh my goodness - I just went to answer the phone, leaving Moon and Flopsy out in the dining room / kitchen area. After a long conversation with my brother I decided to go make a cup of tea. On entering the dining room I say hello to Moon and ask "Where's Flopsy" at which point Flopsy comes...

I have to rant - I apologise in advance. I love my job and I love working with younger people, because you have fun and all. I really like all the people I work with but sometimes their attitudes about rabbit welfare really sucks. One of my young coworkers came up to me this afternoon as I was...

The only downfall of having too many rabbits in the house, is that when one steals your heart - you can't take it home. Today, in work, I was handed a gorgeous brown rex to hold while the girl sorting them out did something. She walked off and the little rex went from having a heartbeat racing...

I got a text message this afternoon while I was rearranging the kids bedroom asking if I would take in an unwanted hamster of a friend of a friends. I, being me, figured "Hey - what a great way to learn more about hamsters for work" and texted back "sure I'll take him!" His name is Charley and...

Having no idea of the type of life Munchkin had before being found with overgrown teeth running free, I am often concerned by his defensive actions towards other rabbits, and even the guinea pigs when I let them out in the same room as him previously. Because Moon is bonded with Flopsy - they...

Flopsy got spayed today and we just brought her home. She looks so spaced out I feel sorry for her, but I know it's the best for her in the long run. I've got vet bed for her, and am making her a run area beside the normal cage so she is contained but not in danger of attempted mounting by...

Flopsy is pulling chest hair and running around with her mouth full of hay, pulling hair out of her mate, Moon and now has started honking at him before running off. He is looking at her, ears forward - so no anger at the fact she made him jump in the air when pulling hair from his nose. Anyway...

As posted on this thread - http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=25823&forum_id=48 I have brought a gorgeous lionhead rabbit home from work as she was ill and I was scared she might die if left alone (it's a holiday here tomorrow so shop is closed) She is active, eating, drinking...

Hi guys, I recently started working in a large pet store chain, and am doing my best to ensure the animals get the best care possible through educating other staff on nutrition and care, but I've come up against a brick wall regarding one particular aspect and need some expert advice to help me...

Hello guys, My rabbit Moon seems to have bonded and be getting along with my new rabbit, Flopsy, since this afternoon. He is grooming her, she is following him, they were chasing a while ago and now they are lying side by side. Is it safe for me to leave them out together tonight, or is it too...

I went to the pet store yesterday and my kids forced me to take home this little girl or guy. She was dirty and we just couldn't leave her....and trust me I tried to leave as another bunny was not on my agenda right now. What breed and color is she do you guys think? The kids named her or...

Hey guys! Munchkin was running around a sandpit I got for him and the kids tonight and some how his little toe nail which was deformed anyway and sticking up - has come off. It was bleeding but I'm not sure if it's stopped. I have flour here but what should I do? Is it ok to leave it if blood...

Hey all, Moon hasn't been acting himself since yesterday and even though the out of hours charges for vets are crazy, I just was too worried not to take him around there today. She said she could feel something hard in his tummy, so gave him anti inflammatory, antibiotic and liquid parafin and...

Hi all, My new adopted rabbit, Munchkin has a lump of something (like dust) inhis eye. How the heck can I get it out without stressing him too much? I have tried cotton wool and got a bit out, but he closes his eye tight and I can't get it. Help! :? Munchkin x

Hi guys, I brought my new shelter adoption home last night and he has a verystiff tat in the corner of his eye - how would I best deal with it? Luckily the vet said he didn't have mites - it was just from hismedication, but I can feel small tats under his fur (he is an agoutinetherland dwarf)...
