I don’t know for sure that she would die but I spent a lot of time researching options for our second housing and every post I ever came across said don’t house rabbits in a garage with cars because of carbon monoxide fumes. It’s difficult as I understand your concerns for not wanting them...

I think your biggest problem is the garage is used for cars. We have two bunnies living in our garage but we had to not put the car in their because of the fumes. It wouldn’t have been my first choice of housing they are only in there because we have a pair in the house already and they can’t be...

I use a Henry vacuum and it’s brilliant but not the cheapest. The only cons are it is quite bulky to move around and not very quiet when I use it I make sure my bunnies are downstairs so they don’t get startled. It is so good at dealing with hay though and other bunny mess I’m more than happy to...

Hello, I’ve found myself in a situation where I need to be able to clip my rabbits nails. Normally I’d prefer the vet to do it however due to COVID 19 vets are only taking emergencies and I’m not sure how long this will go on for. Does anyone have any tips or techniques they can share for...

Maybe straight handles like those ones would be better I have clippers like this and they just aren’t easy to use https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000WFDWFS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1r7EEbEHHJ45C

Hi, I was just wondering if it is safe to use human nail clippers on bunny nails. I have some that are meant for small animals but I find them awkward to use especially when I’m trying to be quick. My preferred nail clipping method is to wait until bunny is relaxed to do it rather than...

I usually mix it up between spring greens, watercress, kale, broccoli, romaine lettuce and herbs like mint, basil, parsley and coriander. They also get a small piece of carrot, parsnip or fruit. He isn’t acting like he was yesterday apart from being uninterested in his veg his other eating...

Tonight he didn’t seem interested in his veggies but is eating hay, pellets and grass. Veggies were the last thing he had before he had the gas problem so I hope he’s not put off :(

Hello, So we had our first scary situation last night with one of our bunnies. We were so worried we called the out of hours vet. After describing his symptoms the vet thought it might be gas and suggested doing a tummy massage in case he improved before we brought him in as they already had a...

Here is my bunnies litter box after one day when I only had 1 bunny using it at the time. I have a picture because I was working away for a few days and made my other half take them so I could reassure myself that they were fine while I was gone (I know paranoid owner!). Some might be hidden...

You definitely did the right thing to separate them. You’ve given yourself the best possible chance of being able to rebond them by separating them before the fighting became vicious. It’s difficult to save a relationship once blood has been drawn, unfortunately we learnt this the hard way...

Thank you I just find it kind of strange that at feeding time both rabbits always run up to the front of the cage at the same time so neither will hang back to let the dominant eat first. They will also both quite happily try and take food from the other. They always used to be in a grooming...

Thanks everyone I think I’m going to look at getting a rug/rugs I should hopefully be able to get one fairly cheap to see whether they will chew it or not. My foam mats have quite a thick edge which I think made them appealing to chew so hopefully a thin rug will be more difficult to get hold of...

I have two pairs of rabbits both a neutered male and a neutered female and I can’t work out what their relationship is in either pair (who is dominant and who is submissive) I’ve looked for all the signs such as grooming etc but it still doesn’t seem obvious to me. Is this normal?

Hello I want to get some flooring for my rabbit pen in the garage as it’s on concrete and I want my bunnies to have somewhere that is softer so they get a break from the cold hard floor. I have previously used interlocking foam mats which were great except my bunnies have always chewed them...

Not quite a tower but this is pretty cool. I got it from the local pet shop it’s a little cardboard chair and they seem to be liking it!

I love those cardboard tower ideas Theo and cloverhouse I tried to find one that shipped to the UK but haven’t been successful :( US ones either don’t ship to the UK or have very high import fees. Such a shame as I think they would be great for what I want!

If he isn’t already neutered (I see he’s still very young at 4 months), if he’s still struggling to get the hang of it after he’s been with you a bit longer that can really help. Both of my boys weren’t terrible with their litter habits but only got the hang of it properly when they were...

You are 100% right that you shouldn’t separate your bonded pair due to the strange smells that one rabbit will pick up while at the vets causing confusion when you try and put them back together. If this happened to me I would consider a different vet if possible if they aren’t flexible on...

Thanks for all the tips everyone I’ve got some great ideas for options now :)
