Hi, I am fostering a rabbit for my SPCA at the moment. She came to me with two 3 day old babies and then four weeks later had eleven more! Two have passed and the older two were weaned early so she is feeing nine babies (a week old). She is currently living in my bedroom and when I let...

Hi, I am fostering a rabbit at the moment who was found in somebody's barn with babies approximately three days old. They were four weeks on Monday and today mother bunny has started building a new nest. I had noticed her stomach getting rather large and suspected she was pregnant. Obviously...

My rabbit Kuta has had ongoing issues with teeth having now had quite a few removed over the past two years. His teeth have finally settled down but he went in for surgery on monday to have some ground down a bit cos they were getting a little long. The vet and I decided it would also be a...

I have a big bag of jerusalem artichokes and am wondering if I can give some to my rabbits? When I google it I get conflicting information; supposedly they are fine and are high in prebiotics so good for the gut but alternatively they cause lots of gas so aren't good for the gut. Confused :?

I am fostering a rabbit for my local SPCA (which I do regularly) and on Monday she had her calicivirus vaccination. Now she has cellulitis, I guess the needle must not have been clean or something. It looks terrible, a big patch of fur loss on her sideand what hard red areas which looks like...

Just discovered last night that my rabbit is eating his poos, he's faecal ones, not the caecotropes he's supposed to eat (which he isstill eating). Has anyone had this happen before? He has recently recovered from dental surgeryhe had a couple of months ago and the last few weeks he's been...

Hi, My 3yr old male mini lop had two teeth extracted and some filed down a few days ago as he had suddenly stopped eating and was grinding his teeth. He has had his teeth filed before and he recovered from the anaesthetic really well. This time the vets had to keep him overnight until the...

I was under the impression that peanuts and other nuts aren't actually meant to be eaten by rabbits and yet I see them in pellet mixes all the time. Should I let my rabbits eat them or continue to pick them out?

I work at the SPCA in New Zealand and fostered a young rabbit recently until she was old enough to be desexed and put up for adoption. I had her for a couple of months and she was a really awesome bunny. She was adopted out but I have just received a text from one of my friends at work saying...

Hi, I have just taken on a foster rabbit from the SPCA as she needs to gain weight. She is super skinny and it's quite disgusting really but she is doing a good job of gaining weight. However, her behaviour is an issue and if I don't sort it out then she can't be adopted. She's the kind...

My rabbit has had numerous health problems in the two years she has been alive. Her name is Alaska and you may possibly remember me posting on here when she was younger as first she had enteritis and then the tips of her ears died and fell off which was a huge mystery to the vets. After that her...

I haven't been on here in quite some time but could really use your expertise right now if you don't mind. I have a rabbit who isn't well but I can't figure out what is exactly wrong or how to treat it (neither can the vet). He is a mini lop, was neutered about six months ago, and will be...

I have two mini lop kits aged four weeks and I'm pretty sure they're both does. One is beige and the other is blue. I'm going to keep one to show and the other has got a home with another breeder friend but at the moment I'm struggling to think of names. I really like my kits to have matching...

Last week (around wednesday/thursday) I noticed my Beau wasn't eating much pellets but he still ate whatever else I gave him. Then Friday I spotted a big bald patch on his back so took him to the vet that afternoon. Turns out he had fleas (don't know where they came from) and although the vet...

Does that mean she likes me? She was running around my bedroom floor and when I crouched down she came over and licked my forehead, it was so cute. I think she likes my big teddy bear more though, she sits for ages licking him and nibbling him all over and until he looks juuust right...

My little bunny has a tissue fetish, she loves to eat them! If I leave the box on the ground or drop a tissue somewhere she chows down as fast as she can. I do my very best to keep any tissues out of reach but sometimes when she does a wet poo on the floor and I go to pick it up with a tissue I...

My baby bunny Alaska (who has had many health problems most of you will have read about), is doing tons of ceacals and not eating them. I'm not sure if she is eating some and leaving lots or whether she is not eating any at all. This has been going on for awhile now so I imagine she must be...

Little Alaska has been living in my room for a few weeks now and I need for her to go toilet in a litter tray but so far she just goes on the towel in her cage and when the cage door is open she goes on the carpet. I've always found it fairly easy to get my rabbits to use litter trays in their...

My little bunny Alaska has had such a bad start to life, first having had a bad case of enteritis (which most of you know) and now she has a problem with her ears. The tips of her ears are going black and hard and are getting infected. We've been to the vet and apparantly her circulation is so...
