Hey!

So for vaccines in the UK they will need yearly jabs for RVHD1 & 2 and myxomatosis. Many vets will do this jab as a single jab so just once a year.

Also I wouldn’t necessarily rule out vets for pets too quickly. Each V4P is different they basically are their own private run service that are bought under the branch names V4P and adhere to…[Read more]

I think I must be the only person on this forum today.

Just an update… I have put the two females together and have been working with them since early this morning re-bonding them. Its the afternoon and they are both getting on with each other fighting or chasing. I could probably take a nap now but I’m on standby to intervene if they fight.…[Read more]

Glad that things seem back to normal!

After reading the reviews on Vets4Pets I’m not sure I can trust them as many have said they only want your money and add on extra fees. They have more bad ratings than good. 48 pounds for a neuter sounds nice but I expect it would probably come to much more if extra charges were added. I know no vet will be perfect but I would prefer a fixed price…[Read more]

I also forgot to mention vaccines, I gotta pay for those too.

So as I currently understand its just two vaccines right? RDH1/RDH2 which I believe is one vaccine now and then the myxomatosis vaccine which they need every 12 months. What is the exact number of vaccines that each rabbit would need each year?

I’ve found a few more places that “might” be able to help me get my bunnies spayed and neutered but I’m not going to hold my breath on it but certainly worth asking. I will do some ringing about tomorrow. I strongly believe that all three of these rabbits will bond once they are spayed and neutered. They all had a bond until there hormones started up.

Everyone has already given you great advice.  I think every bun is an individual,  but my lionhead lop mix definitely is the stereotype of a diva lionhead bun. She is super sweet, but she she insists on look don’t touch most of the time. My other bun is a huge snuggle bun, but even he doesn’t like to be picked up. Oh and she’s constantly getting s…[Read more]

I’ve asked some of them  but they said it doesn’t work that way. They wont neuter or spay a rabbit unless its in there shelter which makes no sense, so basically I order for them to neuter and spay my bunnies I would have to give them up which isn’t going to happen so I have to get them done myself without any help towards the cost. The PDSA for…[Read more]

If it is a fungal infection, then it will need to be treated. Otherwise, yes, trying a water bottle may help.

Looking at the photos, it appears as though there is some thinning of the fun underneath his whiskers too. That suggests also suggests this is some type of skin issue too.

What about rabbit shelters/rescues? The would have a vet that they use to spay and neuter their rabbits. Oftentimes, they get those services at a discounted rate. You may ask around to see if they could help you out with lower cost spays/neuters. From what I understand, you did rescue these bunnies and you intended to rehome at least some of them anyway.

Yes, thank you so much!

I understand that you want a pet rabbit, but reading that the known rabbit-savvy vets “are not cheap at all” and it makes you reluctant to go brings up a discussion on whether a pet rabbit is the right pet for you right now– regardless if a rabbit is fixed or not, you will inevitably need to take a pet rabbit to the vet, and it will always need…[Read more]

Excellent. There is one near me. I wont get my hopes up too much tho but I’ll give those a try. 48 pounds for a neuter is alright. 🙂

Do you possibly have a Vets4Pets anywhere near you? They are a chain and of course you’d have to suss out yourself how much you trust them but in my experience I’ve been to a couple in London/Essex and they’ve been great for my rabbits – their standard neuter cost for a bunny is about £48 I believe, including the metacam to take home after and th…[Read more]

Unfortunately there aren’t any charities that offer free or low cost neutering services for rabbits. They only deal with cats and dogs and even with those there are limited spaces and a very long wait. I’ve checked out all the animal charities I can think of and they are all saying the same thing. None will deal with rabbits. There are a couple of…[Read more]

It’s more dry, I haven’t noticed any flaking. I do suspect that it may be due to his water bowl… what else do you suggest besides changing the bowl?

I had a fat bun. He lost weight slowly under the supervision of my rabbit savvy vet  slow weight loss is the best thing. Rapid weight loss harms the liver (it becomes overwhelmed with the fatty acid release from downbreak of fatty body tissue).

Make changes gradually. I have the selective rings with rosehip. Half is good, you can gradually cut…[Read more]
