Couldn’t agree with jbun more.

It’s difficult to establish if a rabbit is in a good condition just by weight, as even within pure breeds the weight can vary drastically in different lines, and if you don’t have a purebreed they can be any size at all. It’s also very difficult to tell from a photo. The only way to tell is to...

I just want to point out that it can be very difficult to tell the difference if you don’t have any experience, so you should take her to a rabbit knowledgable vet or breeder if you want a better idea or you aren’t sure. As for the cage, could you send us a photo of the set up please?

I’m so sorry for your loss, what a sweet boy xx

It’s dependent on so many different factors. We are told that there is a 1% chance of anaesthetic death in rabbits. This is even lower with experience rabbit Vets. It depends on how often the vet operates on rabbits, how straightforward the neuter is (i.e. any complications such as a retained...

How will picking up a prey animal and carrying it around teach it you are “not a threat”? This is bad advice. If your bunny is attacking because it wants to be left alone... leave it alone. Not to mention the fact that we don’t want bunnies to think of being picked up as a punishment as we need...

Rabbits also have the ability to retract their testicles - it might seem they arent there, but it is because he is retracting them once you are down there. They could also be retained like JBun said. If you aren't sure, you need to take him to a vet and they will be able to *** him and give a...

Personally I've never found the squealing to work for me, but its worth a try if others have had success with it. Yep ^ same here that mine used to do it when I was in her way, but she stopped that after being spayed. Now its purely for attention. I would imagine getting him a friend to pester...

Yes this will get so much better with neutering. It’s really difficult to get an entire rabbit to be 100% with litter training. Since spaying, my rabbit has the run of the whole house and just the one litter box, we’ve never had any accidents. Bunnies naturally want to be clean, but when they...

He’s telling you to GIVE HIM ATTENTION RIGHT NOW. I can’t remember, is bugs neutered? That can certainly make a difference. Otherwise, does he get lots of attention and interaction? My bunny will dig at me more if I’ve been out all day and she is just desperate for cuddles, on days I am able to...

Block off the closet using some sort of panelling or strong wood, or anything to stop him getting to it. Or you can try just putting a puppy pen around his cage so he has free space to roam but you can restrict access to certain areas. As for sleeping, what time do you let him out? Most bunnies...

That link doesn’t work for me, maybe because I’m in UK, but I don’t really know, I’ve just never had cable ties loosen.

Zip ties shouldn’t come loose, try buying better zip ties!

If you can’t feel the spine or rib cage then yes, he is overweight. This chart explains to you how to body condition score your rabbit.

Your bunny home looks fab! Only thing I would say is to be careful with the cage door being down like that acting as a “ramp”, bunnies can get claws stuck in the gaps and rip off toenails or at least hurt them. It would be best if you could cover the bars with a piece of wood, or take the cage...

Spaying should really help, so hopefully you can hold out okay until then. You can try cleaning out her litter box etc while she is distracted elsewhere (as she is going to be territorial about it!). And rather than having to put her away at the end of playtime, you could try to time it so she...

Depends on many factors; how big the wound was, how deep it was, where on the body, the immune system of the rabbit, etc. Usually a couple of weeks, but if you are worried get it looked at by a vet.

Spinach isn’t toxic, it is just very high in calcium so should be fed sparingly.

It looks like it is healing really nicely and putting anything on it could just irritate it more and slow down the healing. If you do insist, don’t use that cream - try savlon, or sudocrem - or whatever you have where you are that is equivalent. Just a simple moisturising cream, e.g. for nappy...

Maybe you could send in a video of the movement? It sounds like he could be panting/breathing heavily?
