I'd have to say no and they have been spayed and neutered. It' a puzzle.

Hi..so I have 15 month old flemish giants,Hobi & Mizla who live together outdoors in a. 6x 6 ft shed.The shed inside has 3 levels with a litter tray on the ground floor. We have had a good year they both use the litter tray and only the odd few poops outside of it. For the last week there is...

Wish mine loved petting,it would make everything easier.A gentle stroke on the side is about it.

Hi,any advice on grooming please.I have 2 flemish giants 1 Yr old.Mizla actively attacks with front paws if she sees any type of grooming implement.I have tried her in a carrier with lid off,just blocking her exit with my arm,someone else holding her,and nothing works.If I groom Hobi she will...

I have similar buns but mine are flemish giants.They do not generally want to be picked up and now the only time is if I need to take them out of a carrier.My vet nurses gave me advice on how to carry and pick up and I take them both for nail cutting to the vet practice.I have put different...

I have found that the bigger the dog the better the bond.It seems to be the smaller breeds who just can't resist chasing and barking.But,give me a retriever, labrador, labradoodle then it's a thumbs up every time.I dogsit in my home so have experienced most.Mind you I have flemish giants who...

I too suffered these type of injuries from a flemish giant not pretty! So I know where you are coming from.The nurse at my vets has now shown me a way to pick up and hold them where I don't put myself at risk. When you need to lift them place one hand under and just behind the front legs if you...

Also be aware if you get 2 litter mates which have been together and interact OK.Once neutered you are not guaranteed that will continue.Having been through that myself I would definitely wait for a bonded pair when I am looking again.

I once saw a parakeet being carried in a 'bird friendly rucsac ' and didn't feel that was right.A rabbit in a sling brings the same feelings for all of those reasons mentioned here. Apart from anything else the pressure on its lower back if an adult rabbit can't be a good thing. Looks OK but for...

Yes I had all sorts of bottles and bowls inside and out at the beginning.But, I can clean the bowls better,I know how much they are drinking and it takes me less time to replace now.

I now have some carpet to insulate the hut and then they can go outside again as your's seem to do OK .As you say a bit of extra bedding and they should be OK. Thankyou

Where do you live Nancy?

Thankyou.Good idea.3 am on first night in and they are careering all over the place having woken up.Have had to close the cat flap they have just discovered which I forgot about.LOL!

I have 2 x 7 month flemish giants just in their first winter outside.They live in a 6x6x6ft wooden shed with levels inside.I put a loose hay bale in there so they could pull it off if they want it for extra bedding. But, their water is freezing up, it's been -4-5 last couple of days and I...

I just can't understand why a vet wouldn't understand about bunnies and their care?Don't they train with domestic animals or are they considered exotic pets where you live? It is such a shame that you have to be so careful of your local vet. I know I have to travel 20 mins for my reptile...

Yes I've had a change round today too as I think it's a learning thing getting things right.I have had 3 large litter trays on the floor of the hut which they use all the time but I've recently noticed more droppings out of the boxes.I hadn't realised that if Mizla sits in the widthways then her...

I've been surprised how quickly they respond to their names to come for treats. Or to go in for the night.Now for the party tricks! LOL.x

I have mine outdoor in a wood playhouse.I have built shelving at 2 levels with sides.I fill this with hay for them and the floor of the house is lino. Their litter tray is on the floor. Mine never pooh/ urinate in their resting/ sleeping areas so I only change it every 2 weeks. Even so they...

Hi everyone...I'm 4 months on to having flemish giants...I've got a thing about liking big animals and wanted bunnies the same. I started with 3 litter mates living in a playhouse..2 boys and a girl..they were all spayed at 4 months.Sadly 2 pair bonded after this and turned on their brother for...
