    Rabbit with a taste for rubber- any suggestions?

    I use Grannicks Bitter Apple Spray (image attached) - it works for my buns 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've found I only have to use it for a few days at a time if they're interested in one particular spot, and then when they learn that it tastes bad they give up. I've also sprayed it on furniture to stop them weeing...

    BS? Reaction to sutures

    My Maple (💔🌈) removed her stitches twice (hence getting stitched up 3 times in total!) - the second time I watched her do it and she was coming across them while grooming herself 🙄 I ended up getting a medical shirt for her to wear - she despised it, but it did the trick!

    BS? Reaction to sutures

    Okay, thank you! I think it was the way the info was delivered that made it sound odd, and I was concerned that she was already quite swollen when they discharged her. Thank you for sharing your experience with suture reactions - it's something I've never come across before so it threw me a bit! 😅

    BS? Reaction to sutures

    Hi, so Bluebell was spayed yesterday. Her wound was weeping blood when she was discharged - which I thought was very strange because that never happened each of the three times Maple was stitched up (don't ask 🤦🏼‍♀️), but I was told it was okay and it would just weep a bit for a while because...

    Stores in London

    Sorry - only just spotted this! 🙈 I'd agree with Diane as I tend to shop online for toys, but The Range does stock some decent toys that mine enjoy such as rattle rollers and a selection of willow toys too. In terms of Pets At Home, they only re-home rabbits now and don't buy them from...

    Weird skin on nose?

    Hmm... 🤔 They are indoor bunnies, but there are always little flies and spiders flying/wandering about 🕷️ and I'm a dog groomer so I'm always worried about fleas 🙈

    Weird skin on nose?

    Thank you for the information! It won't clean off and it seems attached, so I think it must be a bit of dry skin. I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully it'll heal soon.

    Weird skin on nose?

    Hi, so this is probably me being ridiculous and paranoid - but please bare in mind that it's only been 6 weeks since Maple passed away unexpectedly, and Bluebell is due to be spayed in less than two weeks, so rabbit-related stress levels are high 🙈 I found this weird patch of white skin on...

    Cleaning spray off face?

    Her face has dried since I cleaned it with damp cotton pads, and she now looks and smells a hell of a lot better! 😂 I think the main issue was her ears because the spray had gone inside, but they're much better now 😊

    Cleaning spray off face?

    So, Ash sprayed Bluebell in the face 😂🤦‍♀️ someone else was looking after them for the week, so I couldn't give her a cornflour bath and now it's dried on. (They were separate - he just caught her through some mesh). She's no longer a lovely pure white colour, and her face stinks. I've used a...

    Straining/stretching and cecotropes?

    He does it before he bends over to get them - he might do it for about 45 seconds, he sometimes looks like he's hiccuping - and then he'll bend over and get them. He's 1.7kg and definitely not overweight - he's always been a little skinny bless him - I keep trying to fatten him up but it's just...

    Straining/stretching and cecotropes?

    Weird question - does anyone else have a rabbit that sits and sort of stretches themselves upwards, or appears to be pushing a lot when producing cecotropes? Ash does this a lot, and he pulls a derpy face... it's not new for him, I'm just wondering if it's normal or if I need to do something...

    Ingesting flamazine? GI Stasis (RIP)

    Thank you ❤️ I miss her so so much - I can't believe I'll never get to hold her again or feel one of her nose boops 😭 I got her ashes back today but I feel so disconnected from it - I hold the box she's inside and I don't feel like she's there at all 💔

    Ingesting flamazine? GI Stasis (RIP)

    Thank you ❤️ I'm still constantly questioning everything I did and worried that I didn't act soon enough 💔 she's seemed a bit down and grumpy recently - but she was eating and all her poos were normal. And she's been a bit grumpy before - I put it down to the house move and construction work on...

    Ingesting flamazine? GI Stasis (RIP)

    Sadly Ash is still by himself (and I'm still not going to risk trying to neuter him again), and although he's a happy boy who enjoys my company, I think he can sense my grief and can tell that something bad has happened 😞 although I hated doing it, I'm glad I moved to a new house two weeks ago...

    Ingesting flamazine? GI Stasis (RIP)

    Thank you, the vet prescribed it and I imagine they would have picked up on that if it was the reason. Ash is getting lots of cuddles ❤️ and I now have gorgeous baby Bluebell who is 5 months old - I planned on getting her spayed in October and then bonding her with Maple 😭💔 but she's a really...

    Ingesting flamazine? GI Stasis (RIP)

    Thank you ❤️ I'm utterly heartbroken as she only celebrated her first birthday a few weeks ago 😞 I keep expecting to see her little nose poking around the corner or have her come running up to me for head rubs 💔 it doesn't feel real at all.

    Ingesting flamazine? GI Stasis (RIP)

    I had to have her put down. She had fluid buildup and probably an obstruction. Surgery would have been incredibly expensive and most likely unsuccessful. Euthanasia was the right thing to do but it's still horrible.

    Ingesting flamazine? GI Stasis (RIP)

    Maple's suffering from gut stasis at the moment - it came on in less than 24hrs and she's extremely bloated. She's at the vets as an inpatient and on fluids as well as being given critical care. They've taken an x-ray of her sitting in a normal position (no anaesthetic needed for that) and can't...
