If you’re unsure whether the babies will sell, why are you breeding them?

Hello, Firstly, I don’t know a huge amount about showing, but I think I’m right in saying you can’t show if you have them neutered? So might be worth looking into more. As for bonding together, a week is a very short time so I wouldn’t expect too much. It’s good that he is happy to come and...

For what it’s worth, even if it isn’t a cancerous testicle I would still be inclined to castrate him if it was me, to prevent any problems in the future.

What a stunning bunny!

It depends where the undescended testicle is - is it abdominal, or in the inguinal canal, or just short of reaching the sac? Obviously an abdominal surgery will be a lot more invasive. However, it will be similar to a spat operation on a female rabbit. As long as he is in good health and your...

No pictures for me either sorry

Some practices do vaccinate against RHD2, I have mine vaccinated, you just need to call around to see who supplies it. Most vets4pets should. If they got one vaccine it would have been RHD1 combined with myxomatosis. Did you say they were vaccinated at pets at home before you bought them? They...

Of course, we can never say there isn’t a risk, but that risk is very small with a good rabbit vet. 2 isn’t old, so that won’t be a factor. It’s a decision we can’t really help you make, but statistics are on your side.

I’d also like to know the answers to the questions jbun asked, and is she spayed?

Could you show us a photo of your set up? Might help us see if there are any issues.

Yep to me that sounds like an angry, scared bunny. Try and ask your dad to not put his hand into your bunny’s personal area (same goes for everyone) as he needs somewhere he can feel safe and secure.

You are giving him the attention he craves! Negative or positive, he just wants to be talked to. It is also very bad for their teeth for them to chew on the bars like that. Best thing to do would be to cover the bars with some wood or cardboard to prevent him from being able to chew, and in...

Unfortunately she isn’t terribly photogenic but I felt left out not sharing some cute pics of Poppy!

Have you had an actual diagnosis of earmites from a vet? Or is this just your assumption? I suggest you use actual ear mite medication, if it is actually ear mites, such as spot on ivermectin. Do not “clean out” the ears it can be very dangerous if you damage the inside of the ear canal. Don’t...

Yeah it can look different on people to on animals. 7 isn’t exactly “old” for rabbits, so don’t write her off yet. Hopefully the dandruff and alopecia settles and she will be back to herself soon. Any improvement?

It would be useful for them to take a needle biopsy before removal, as that gives a better idea of margins to take etc - it would need to be tiny to be too small for a needle biopsy!! I think that’s a good plan to go to a more specialised vet though. Well presumably he is eating less if he is...

Doesn’t have much of what left? Pellets? How much are you giving in the first place?

How much pellets and greens do you feed? Sometimes they can gorge themselves on pellets rather than making the effort to eat hay, so often cutting down on the other stuff forces them to eat the hay instead. You could try mixing some yummy forage in with the hay to encourage eating it, such as...

What kind of hay are you trying to feed? How much other food does he get (pellets, greens, etc)? How are you offering the hay? In his litter tray? With or without a hay rack?

Good idea!
