Hi Folks I know I have given this thread a rather frivolous title but I'm actually very peterbed by this situation to the point where it is 4.30am and I'm still awake worrying about my bunnies and what to do for the best! I really hope some of you might be able to give me some answers. My 2...

Hi - yes the bunnies are totally back to normal now - it only took a couple of week for the rest of the harvest flies to bug off and disappear! I felt so bad for my babies but they are fine now. It is a possibility that in late summer next year the buns could get reinfested at harvest time but...

The vet phoned me yesterday after speaking with a collegue and suggested I bring the buns back and we vaccinate them with ivomectin - which I understand may prevent further re-infestations which are likely to happen as our garden borders loads of long grass near a school. Hopefully this may do...

Ok, went to the vets yesterday - she said it's a parasite on the eye corners called Harvest Mite! She had never seen it on rabbits before - only dogs, sheep etc!!! Bit of a worry as she didn't have anything to treat it with as the only licensed treatment was for larger animals. She has give me...

Hi everyone Last week I noticed a tiny spot of bright orange crustiness next to my female Roxy's eye - just one eye - I tried to pick it out thinking it was just pollen/ dirt but it wasn't coming out easily so I left it and it disappeared. This morning my male rabbit has the same thing in just...

Sorry for the size of the initial pictures folks - I've resized - hopefully this is better...

Roxy grooms Benjamin: Double ears:

Hi everyone Here is a new blog for my newly bonded pair...Benjamin and Roxy.... Here is the new shed/ run combo that they share: Snuggled together in the doorway of the hutch which is built into the interior of the shed:

Fingers crossed here but I'm hoping the buns are now bonded! They have been together for over 24 hrs and are sitting together harmoniously and grooming each other - yeah - I am so pleased!!!There is still a tiny bit of humping going on but it's not often and it's usually diffused before it even...

Well.....(in hushed tones)....we're in the neutral territory room, and things seem to be going ok..... We went for our car ride at 6.30 which I'm not sure was successful or not - there was no fighting en-route but Benjamin did clamber on top of Roxy's head as he was frightened. As soon as I got...

Hi, yes that's right. Twinkle got very ill so we had to make the hard decision to put her to sleep back in early May and we're now trying to bond him to a new friend.

Hi Everyone Here is the latest development. Yesterday we put the buns together in a neutral room and a little mutual grooming took place. Benjamin seems to groom Roxy more enthusiastically and sometimes seems to go as far as almost biting/ nipping her face area and then this usually leads...

Hi Everyone Well here is an update. We got Roxy the new bun on Monday and have divided Benjamin's new hut and run in half so each bun can have a side each on a night we put both buns locked inside the hut but one has free run of the hut and the other is in a smaller hutch on the base of the...

Thank you to everyone for your kindwords. I miss Twinkle so much but not nearly as much asBenjamin is missing her - she was a truly wonderful bunny - so patientand calm with Benjamin when he lost his temper - she had such a funnylittle character and coped with so much through ehr pain towards...

The woman who showed us around didn't botherto check Mabel's records and let me put my name down...

Hi Everyone Apologies if this is a duplicate post but I've ha da quick search andcan't find any info on nettles. I was just wondering whetherrabbits can eat stinging nettles?? We have a fine specimengrowing in the garden and I was wondering whether I could feed it toBenjamin. I'm worried in...
