My cast

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 03:37:32 +0000

Almost three weeks ago I had surgery to remove an extra bone in my right foot. I am in a cast for the next three weeks (I was in a splint for two weeks, now a cast for four weeks, then a surgical walking boot). Boredom set in and I began decorating my cast.......

two weeks post-op:

my cast artwork:

I want to paint a bunny on it, but it has to be PERFECT, so I am afraid to start.......

Spread Binky joy!

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:04:03 +0000

Last year we had a spur of the moment Binky Day and lots of us shared our binky photos - this year, we want to do another one, but plan it better and hopefully be able to make a bigger thing of it so that we can all share binky joy on our walls and make rabbit binkying mainstream! What better way to show that a hutch is not enough? So, this year Binky Day will be Friday 1st June. We'll make a poster and do a press release, so we need lots of photos of binkies before hand. Please feel free to share them on our Facebook wall, but also please e-mail any good binky photos to rae@rabbitwelfare.co.uk so that we can use them.

Normal behaviour?

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:19:56 +0000

Heidi always seems full of energy, when Levi always looks tired. Nearly every time I observe them Heidi is sprinting, binking around and biting everything in her way (except for Levi, she just licks him all the time). Levi is lounging around, napping and sometimes grooming, but he doesn't seem too excited most of the time. At night he does some binkies and sprints, then flops and that's about it. He just seems so lazy!

Is this normal behaviour or is there something going on?

Bonding question

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:12:48 +0000

Scribbles is going to be neutered on March 7th. I am considering getting him a companion afterwards. two questions:
1) how long should I wait before contacting a rescue about a companion?
2) how do i know if Scribbles needs a companion or would be fine on his own?
Scribbles is affectionate with me but only tolerates (if that!) other people. I want him to be totally happy and not lonely. I will be building an outside enclsure this spring. Should I wait to find him a companion and use that as the bonding area since it will be completely neutral?
Advice and suggestions are more than welcome!

Agonising decision. Please help.

My five year old buck Barney was diagnosed with renal failure 4 months ago and was given three - four months to live.
I've done everything I can to prolong his life and keep him comfortable since, but suddenly in his fourth month he has started to deteriorate.
Selfishly, I want to keep him with me as long as possible, but I don't want him to suffer. Can anyone give me any advice as to when is the right time to let him go?

His partner also passed away from renal failure last year (vet thinks they both caught a nasty strain of e cuniculi). We couldn't face putting her down at the time, and instead put her through every treatment imaginable - all in vain. In hinds sight this was a mistake, and I don't want to put Barney through the same thing.

Your advice much appreciated.

Shipping Rabbits

Most breeders here in the US won't sell bred rabbits, much less ship them. Are there problems associated with shipping pregnant rabbits?
