    my 2 bunnies ignore me

    often you will find that two bonded rabbits will have little interest in the human as they have each other.

    Do you think my Lionhead would do well in shows?

    Hi, what you have by the looks of it is a single mane, which unfortunately would not do well at shows. How old?

    Seeking advice on a wire floor

    hi, yes I have what I call the staging that I use for my lion lops at shows, but it's a thinner and smaller guage and is fixed to wood batens in 2 oblong halves for when I show them, which I know would give under the weight of a larger rabbit. I'll take a look at the dimensions you gave, thanks x

    Seeking advice on a wire floor

    Hi All my rabbits are outdoors in solid wood hutches. However, I have one show buck who is a dirty little thing and likes to dig and pace in his poo (which as he digs is scattered everywhere) Even cleaning out very frequently doesn't stop him getting dirty! He is a white rabbit...

    What are the chances?

    I read the posts and you didn't mention an age I think? But some bucks will try before they are sexually mature, with all the sounds/falling off etc. Some of my does will start acting differently within a day of mating, others if you didn't know better would act the same until just before they...

    Gender and genetics

    I think it's just random. I know one exhibitor who has a sooty fawn doe (tort?) that has only ever produced one buck in all her matings to different sires.

    A Lop Ear?

    Sometimes it can tickle a whisker if it's touching one.

    Phew

    Hi They are eating well now and gaining weight although a couple are still quite thin, thanks for asking. I really thought I'd lose them all except one. I would post a photo but don't know how to?

    Broken tooth

    Lump of chalk, like you might dig up out of chalky ground..lots of my buns have it in there cage, about the size of a large fist or bigger. They love to dig on it, chew it..some have such fun that they end up a ball shape from working on the piece and roll them about too.

    Help with fur mites?

    In the UK we have http://www.vet-medic.com/pd_Vet-medic+Antiparasite+Mite+Drops+15ml_VETM7.htm which is very good value (even against other brands) do you not have anything similar?

    Picky eater!

    If I have a picky eater I just leave the bowl until it's empty..esp as the pellets are the most nutritionally balanced bit of the feed... they always eat it and never starve.

    New to rabbits, have question about willow branches

    Not sure about the leaves but the bark (young fresh growth preferred) is great for them to strip away at. Read somewhere that it contains a pain killing ingredient, don't know the facts on that 'tho. Mine love Ash twigs the best.

    Rabbit and Guinea Pigs

    Really the buck should have beeen removed from the pen if he was stressing the piggies. But they can live together quite happily as mine have done for over 40 years. I wouldn't put a stud buck or breeding doe in with a g-pig, that's just asking for trouble. But smaller rabbits and g-pigs...

    Help! Benji being tested for ringworm and nodular Myxi

    Nodular myxi affects the skin and has a better prognosis, the other form develops in to pnemonia. Do let us know how he is please. It is a worry as the vacine doesn't guarantee 100% protection. I live in the south of England and you'll always see it about in the wild population.

    Broken tooth

    I have had to clip and file many times one of my daughters rabbits teeth as he's a wire puller. But you have to feel confident to do it (and the rabbit) You can get he teeth removed and they cope perfectly well without them. I gave this buck a huge lump of chalk in his cage (as well as the...

    Pink Urine

    Sometimes it's just a sign of too much protein or colourant in the food. Is she on a new batch of food?

    Help with fur mites?

    I have never used the paste. In the past I have used the cattle drench version (1%) and applied to the area behind the neck (topically)but then I have 40 odd buns (although I think it was an uneccessary purchase as it is hardly used!) I don't know how well Ivermectin would work internally but...
