Thank you, this is really helpful ☺️ I hadn't thought about covering the sides of the pen, but that will definitely help if there's any spraying too!

Okay, thank you. He's not acting unwell at all, and his poos and wees all seem to be normal - could he still have these issues even with normal poos? He's on Burgess Excel junior rabbit nuggets at the moment, and I'm about to start phasing those out and replacing them with Burgess Excel indoor...

Hi, I have a question about my four month old boy (not neutered yet). He seemed to hit puberty suddenly 3 weeks ago (taking an interest in his sister), and his testicles have grown a LOT in the past two weeks. Over the past couple of weeks, I've noticed streaks of goo in his fur around his...

Hi, so I'm looking for advice in advance of my 4 month old boy being neutered (he's still too small atm). My girl was spayed a fortnight ago. They're litter-mates and they've been living in separate rooms for a fortnight, but when I do bring Maple into Ash's space for a cuddle on the sofa, he...

Ahhh okay, I know what you mean, I have some under my cushions! My only hesitation is that he's a chewer - but maybe I could put a layer of cotton or something on top.

Okay, I'll try that, thank you! He's four months old, but half the weight of his sister 🥹

Hi, My furniture has a slippery varnish on it, and my excitable male rabbit has taken to trying to climb it... he's slipped off the sofa cushions multiple times this week mid-zoomy, and I caught him when he slipped off one of the sofa arm rests today. Does anyone have any tips on how to prevent...

Thanks for your reply, luckily I was able to get her an emergency spay and she's recovering well (despite having pulled her stitches out twice and attempting a third time.... little monster!). Here she is, thrilled with her anti-ripping-her-wound-open outfit! P.S. she wasn't ripping the...

Update: I took them to the vets and Maple had an emergency spay. She's been home a couple of hours and has already eaten some kale ☺️ she refuses critical care though, so I might end up mashing some of her usual food in warm water instead. Maple was actually 1.7kg, Ash needs to put on another kg...

Okay, thank you. I'll see what the vet says today, I'm lucky it happened when I already had an appointment booked in. If it's safe for her I'll absolutely do it, I don't want her to go through pregnancy either.

Oh no 😩 if the date I was given is correct then they're 15 weeks old, Maple is around 1.2kg (2.6lbs?) right now. Can they spay pregnant rabbits? It's only been a day so I guess it would be like a really early abortion if she is pregnant? I'll feel horrendous if she is, I got them from a shelter...

I'm moving him into my hallway which is not ideal but it has to be done. They're going to the vet tomorrow to be examined before booking a date for their operations, I'm just really worried that he's gotten the female pregnant. The internet seems to suggest the females are generally sexually...

I woke up to find my male rabbit somehow escaped his pen and has been with my female overnight. Is there any way to tell if they've mated? They're just under 4 months old. I have no idea how he got out, there's no sign of damage.

Also if it was a reaction, I'd expect all of her skin to be affected, not just the patches where there were mites.

Hi, Thanks for your reply and all the information you've attached. I do understand the concern around permethrin. However, the product I used contains a very small percentage of the medication and is fully licensed for rabbits. I've undertaken my own research, and from what I've found it seems...

I hadn't thought about that... but I am in a Victorian building in a South-facing flat, so depending on if the sun is out, it goes from hot to cold really quickly so I don't know if it's a good idea for there to be more moisture in the air if it's cold?

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for dry skin treatments for bunnies? For context, my two bunnies are recovering from mites, and I'm pretty sure the treatment has been successful because I don't react when I pet them anymore. I think the combination of the damage the mites did...

Okay, yes I'm positive she's female - I've just checked again, and she was checked by other volunteers at the animal sanctuary too

Okay, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have the space to put them in completely separate areas, and I wouldn't really want them to loose the ability to interact with each other. Would getting the male neutered sooner make it less likely for the female to spray urine? I'll probably...

Hi everyone, my 3-month-old lionhead Maple has just started spraying urine everywhere. And I mean everywhere. She shares a habitat with her brother (same litter), and I switch them over between the pen and free roaming my living room to prevent pregnancies but still allow them to interact...
