Yeah that’s a good idea if the shot wears off after 24 hours she may become sore. Not sure about the jaw thing but she’s probably still recovering from the anaesthetic so maybe to do with that. We had our two girls done on a Tuesday and one of them was back to normal by the Thursday and the...

No they didn’t shave the neck but you are probably right it may have been to administer the anaesthetic drug or pain meds. We were sent home with some pain meds for 4 days but it may be the shot they gave yours was different to ours. As long as she is eating and not bothering with the wound then...

Don’t worry too much if she isn’t too keen on food just yet. We found veggies worked the best to get ours eating they weren’t keen on pellets or hard foods for a day after surgery and they slowly picked at the veggies over the course of the night which usually would be gone in 5 minutes. If you...

Oh that’s unfortunate, have they always lived in the hutch together, there is no chance that the male could be territorial over it?

Do you have both bunnies neutered already? Our excessive mounting problem was only resolved when both were neutered. In the meantime you may want to consider separate accommodation until you get to the bottom of it as that sounds like it’s causing quite aggressive behaviour. If the fighting gets...

Forgot to say it may also help if you take a favourite food with you and give it to the vets to feed your bun afterwards. We sent ours in with a a little Tupperware container of treats. The vet didn’t tell us this when we had our boys done and they struggled to start eating afterwards so ended...

You normally drop them off early in the morning and then collect late afternoon once they’ve had time to come round. We dropped ours of at 9am and then collected them at 4pm. If they aren’t eating on their own so long after the operation the vets may want to keep them overnight and do some...

If you can call a vet and read them the list of ingredients they may be able to tell you if anything in it is toxic. Hope your little bun is okay.

You should keep them separate if you can until after her spay allowing time for healing and hormones to go away. We had two pairs both a neutered male and intact female and to be honest it was quite stressful! We only had them together beforehand as we wanted the rescue centre to do the bonding...

This is a nice idea! It’s going to be the first Christmas we’ve had with our 4 bunnies they have been given a huge selection from us and our families, will keep them going until next Christmas I think haha.

You should definitely visit a rescue centre as you’ll get the opportunity to meet lots of bunnies and get an idea of what their personalities are like (at least for adult rabbits babies are a bit different due to hormonal changes). We have 4 rescue bunnies and 3 of them came over to us when we...

I would definitely recommend the carrier method Lala7 mentioned I had a similar problem needing to transport my indoor bunnies to their outside run during summer. I started to leave their carrier permanently in there living space with hay and newspaper and they love to dig and lay in it now...

Thank you everyone @Preitler it was really interesting to read about your success with a more tricky bond. I’m really hoping our pairs will go back together easily. It was such a shame as boys didn’t do anything horrid but seemed to be pestering for attention and everytime the girl hopped away...

Hi, We had our girl buns spayed on Tuesday and they both seem to be pretty much back to normal now. When we took them in to be spayed they travelled with their partner but unfortunately when they got home they sat together quietly for a couple of hours but then both boys started bothering the...

Thanks guys, we have 2 pairs of bunnies and all 4 will pretty much sit and eat the grass in one go so I don’t have to worry about it spoiling, there is never anything left. They seem to like it so much it’s what made me question whether it was actually good for them. When I was a teenager we had...

Hello I was just wondering if it was possible to give a rabbit too much grass? While the weather is bad I’m really struggling to get my indoor bunnies some outside time, so to try and keep them entertained I have been cutting fresh grass from the garden (with scissors not a mower) and giving...

Hi blue eyes, thank you for your response. I must admit I had reservations about the girl being intact however I believe it is common practice with that rescue to bond baby rabbits to already altered partners rather than keep them as same *** pairs. My guess is because male and female...

Hello, this is my first post so hopefully it’s going to the right place, please let me know if it’s not. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or thoughts on introducing rabbits to a larger area. We recently had our boy bonded by a rescue centre and they came home a couple of days ago...
