Thanks everyone for your advice.

My lion head has started to moult a d besides regular brushing is there anything else to provide like a tonic is it stressful for rabbits when they moult?

My rabbit refused hay when we rescued him 18 months ago and all he eats now is softened pellets and a couple of grapes each day. But he is around 10 and had hardly any teeth left. Rabbits can survive without hay. But the pellets are the best quality so he’s getting the protein etc.

There are 2 possible issues here. Stress. Rabbits can get stressed out when they are not in their familiar surroundings and their bonded human is not there to turn to. The stress can cause a rabbit to go off their food. Try soaking his pellets in water as a change only soak for a few seconds...

I agree I would try get a freind you can trust or a cattery where they take in rabbits. That’s what I do with mine and they are spoilt rottten. I know you will miss him her but at least you have peace of mind knowing he she is safe

Good points raised about chemicals on grass etc.

I would be wary too about taking him outside because of hawks etc or other dogs from other people. Also if you leave him in the trailer too long will it get too hot for him? You know your bunny best though.

I put puppy training sheets under hay that absorb urine and replace daily too

Hi everyone I hope you and your bunnies are all safe! Unusual question but I found a foul smell coming from my house rabbit Jasper over last 2 days. Checked his bottom all ok no poo stuck. Then wondered if the hay could be the reason which is different to my usual one. Can some hay not absorb...

I have a rabbit 10 not neutered and a female 20 months who is neutered. I want to put them together in a hutch. He is always trying to mate her when I try them in garden pen together. They don’t fight but is it a safe idea to try house together! Are Male rabbits always wanting to mate despite...

My Lionhead we think is 10. We rescued him 18 months ago and our vet reckons He is old due to his teeth problems he only has spikes now and can only eat science select pellets soften in water. Occasional treat like a grape. He’s never been a hay eater despite having offered him all the top...

Jasper who is 10 and has no teeth only spikes now has a diet of soft pellets with greens. Never eats hay. Long story that one. But he does get wet fur around his eyes which I swab with warm water to keep it clean and unmarried. Just wondered if this is his age? He’s in good health and lively...

It’s off the ground plus padlocked too with strong mesh. The rabbit won’t see fox at night as we put a Perspex screen in front which you can see in the picture to the right.

Hi all. Just wondered what precautions can be taken to protect rabbits in hutches. We have 3 small doggies but the fox always comes in garden at night leaving his poo behind. My hutch is double meshed and has a heavy large potted plant I put in front of hutch at night.

Good idea it’s only one young female it could be them trying to sort out who the boss is

Hi All. Hope you are all safe! I have an old rabbit 10 we think who we rescued 16 months ago and we have a doe 20 months who is neutered. I’m trying to bond them so we can keep in same hutch. I have been following bonding guides but when I put them together in garden pen he constantly chases her...

Thanks yes today’s going to be hot! I use a spray too on wars which is where they sweat from during heat. I saw an idea about bottles of frozen water put in cage too that they rest against and ceramic tiles are cool too. Sounds like you have two bunnies!

We are in UK which is really hot at this time around 25+ which is hard for rabbits. I wondered how others cope with this heat and any ideas to help rabbits keep cool. I try bath the ears with a cold damp cloth. I put greens in that had water sprayed on them.

I have a senior rabbit he’s around 10 not neutered and still sexually active. I have a doe aged 18 months recently spayed 5 weeks ago outside. I want to try bond them so she can come inside with the older Male but each time I put them together in a outside pen he’s straight after her for sex. I...

Thanks yes that’s good idea too to fold up too is good.
