rabbits

Hi all. I have four sows and one bunny. The bunny is new and I have run large play pen. Is it ok to switch over the piggy and rabbit? Alternate so one day the bunny will be out playing in the pen in the outbuilding and then the next day the piggies will be. I don’t want them interacting for...

I’ve always been very much against letting animals of certain species meet. Obviously it’s bad to let something like a snake meet a mouse as it’s the natural prey for many snakes. And in terms of health certain animals can carry diseases that could be harmful if passed from species to species...

I just had a very Interesting conversation with someone about baby rabbits. They knowingly let their rabbit get pregnant and have babies, I don't know much about rabbit health during pregnancy and birth but I imagine it's just as hard on them as it is for GPs. There's loads of rabbits needing...

Hi guys Our rabbits are being treated with Panacur paste on gradient each per day, but I'm super confused about the gradient malarkey, on the phone the vet said they need one gradient which is a line to a line but the instructions said it's per bump, so it's a bump to a bump but that's only one...

My rabbits currently poorly with suspected e-cuniculi, waiting on test results to confirm, My question is.. Are my Guinea Pigs in danger of catching it too? Obviously their houses in seperate rooms while she is sick and I'm taking precautions in terms of hygiene but while my rabbit is inside...

I'd say for the 6ish months I've been having recurring nightmares that the animals, specifically the rabbits have died. But it's not a natural death or an animal attack, it's because I've forgotten to feed them or give them water and they've died of dehydration. I don't know what this means...

Hi guys, I've seen lots of diy toys for Guinea Pigs but wondered if anyone had any good ideas of home made toys for rabbits, mine are giant so don't fit into the usual tubes and suff made for rabbits? They also don't seem interested in a lot of stuff so its just a waste of money, I've tried...

Hi I realise there is a rabbit forum but I wanted to post on here because I haven't yet quite figured out how to work my way around it :lol!: Basically a close friend is moving away, but is first staying with someone (until they get a house of their own) who won't allow for her to take her pets...

Hi guys! We've got some rabbits, two I believe are giants or in any case very large rabbits and one is a normal sized. Flick the normal sized doe's nails are perfectly fine, I think she spends a lot of time in the run so files them down naturally but my two large/giant grey rabbits seems to...

hello all I'm considering getting a pair of rabbits that will live in the shed with my guinea pigs- not in the same enclosure but on the floor of the shed while the pigs are up on a shelf . So the pigs wont come in direct contact with the rabbits or the rabbit droppings ( but i was wondering if...

I'm sorry I realise this isn't a piggy problem but wondered if you could help anyway- it's appreciated. I'm really worried about my boy. Some of you may know that I have a rabbit called Bigwig. He must 7 years old by now (6 at the youngest) and he's never had any health problems or really any...

Just saw this on facebook, and as I know some of you (@BossHogg and @madguinealady, and I'm sure there are more) have rabbits, wanted to share it here, its about the RHD2. The thing is, there IS a vaccine, but your vet will have to order it from their wholesaler. Frantic search for vaccine as...

Will it be OK if I put a guinea and a rabbit together?

I was outside in the garden getting some grass for the pigs when this big beautiful thing came bopping up to me... I do not own a rabbit.:blink: He was quite happily digging away at my garden. I have no idea who he belongs to as none of my neighbours have a rabbit ( I've just went round and...

I feel so stupid now. I was in Pets at Home getting nuggets for the pigs and I always have a little look at the animals in the adoption centre. There was a beautiful rabbit called Ollie, not sure what type of rabbit but he was absolutely huge, and only about 2. I asked a member of staff how...

Hi! I know this has been asked a lot (I've been trawling through both this forum, the rabbit forum and even yahoo for good opinions!). Originally I was set on getting guinea pigs, but unfortunately with the death of my cat 2 months ago (passed away just before her 21st birthday, can't believe...

Hi there, I was thinking of adopting a rabbit(s). However having three piggies I done some research and found that rabbits can give pigs a disease? Respiratory or something similar, can it be treated? I have had bunnies and pigs before and had no problem. They will be in different cages but in...
