Happy first gotcha day Twiglet! I love how he’s just overcome his fear of humans and is a cheeky gorgeous perfect boy 🥰 now to overcome the fear of other animals 🥺🖤

Completely didn’t update you on our Dolly! Luckily she came home Sunday evening and is doing great, being her little mischievous self with Frostie, like nothing ever happened!! 😅

15/07/2023

This morning our little Dolly Mixture was a little different. She would seem interested in food and was still being normal Dolly and playing with Frostie, but we know our Dolly and she wasn’t herself 🥺

She wouldn’t eat her favourite treat Oaticakes for Rabbits or her morning nuggets. So Frostie got two breakfasts! She would however, eat a piece of apple.

We called the vets this morning as soon as they opened and got an appointment at 10am.

Her tummy was soft which was good. Her ear was a little swollen inside and unfortunately one of her teeth were overgrown and digging into her tongue 😔

She had a check up with her vaccinations at the beginning of the year and her teeth were fine. She eats lots of hay each day which help wear her teeth down. However, due to breeding and her face not being the shape a rabbits should be, plus we think her face is slightly misshapen due to past traumas, she is getting teeth trouble.

The vets are ensuring she is eating, pooping and stable before doing an emergency dental tomorrow or Monday 🩺

‼️ This is why it is so important to get your rabbits insured - this could have cost a fortune if we didn’t have insurance. The regular check ups and vaccinations are also extremely important to help catch issues like this before they become more severe.

We will update you when our little Dolly is back home. She has Frostie with her for company 🐇

Our little Bounty 🥰 we love him so much 🐰

Some of you may have noticed I haven’t posted about Honey for a while. I’ve been trying to think of the best way to post about it but there is no easy way.

On April 13th 2023 - three months to the day, we had to make a very hard decision to send Honey across the rainbow bridge 🌈🥺

It wasn’t one we took lightly and we thought about it for a good few days, but couldn’t watch her suffer any longer.

She had started sitting and staring into space - usually she would be lying on her buffer, legs stretched out and content, but this wasn’t the Honey we knew. She then fell over a couple of times and stopped eating much, so we went to the vet. They could feel something to the side of her head and thought there must be some sort of growth going on. Of course due to her age (12 years & 7 months) anaesthetic would be risky to X-ray her and then surgery to remove anything would also have been very risky and I doubt she would’ve made it.

The vet gave her a strong opioid painkiller so we could spend one last day with her. As you can imagine she was pretty out of it, but still mustered up the strength to eat some parsley 🥺

I stayed up all night with my gorgeous girl, having cuddles and telling her how much I loved her and how special she was 😢

The time then came to go to the vets. The vet took her away to put a cannula in her ear and brought her back. I hugged that baby girl so much and gave her kisses until the end, telling her how much I love her.

It happened so quickly, my little Honey was gone. I was distraught. The best part of 13 years with her, her cuddles when I was sick and her cheeky ways when I needed cheering up. Gone.

For weeks afterwards I was just in shock and even still break down in tears as I miss her so much.

The other bunnies have helped, but no bun will be as special as my little Honey pot.

Rest in peace baby girl 🕊️ 09/2010 - 13/4/2023 🕊️

Hoppy 2nd birthday Truffle! 🥳🎈🥕🐰🐇🩵

Little Truffle and Buttons had a lovely tasty treat today, a great little forage hay and veggie bar 😋

🥰 Truffle and Buttons 💜💙

Truffle and Buttons are back home, Truffle is feeling loads better thanks to the wonderful vet.

Buttons loves the new bed we got them while they were away 🥰 🐰

03/07/2023

Yesterday afternoon we noticed Truffle was looking sorry for himself and not eating. We gave him meds and tummy rubs to try and help him feel better but he refused his dinner 😔 so we had an out of hours vet visit with him (and Buttons, for company).
It always seems to happen on a Sunday night with our buns 🙈 Prices have shot up for an emergency appointment as well - thankfully we have him insured!!
The vet called me this morning and he is improving, eating and pooping. All being well he should be allowed home tomorrow, so another night without him and Buttons 😢
Please keep the little man in your thoughts 💙

Our little Haribo has been enjoying the garden today 🥰

Rescued back in October at only 4-6 weeks old from being slaughtered for no reason other than being “not good enough quality”.

We love this handsome little man so much and so glad he is part of our family 🐇💙

Been a bit quiet as I’ve not been too good health wise, still not too good in fact 😔

Blackberry and Crumble have cheered me up no end with their foraging in their Just4rabbits enrichment pod received today. Little Truffle in the background is slightly jealous and wants to get in on the excitement! 🥰

Mummy has been very sick this week so we’ve been giving her cuddles to help her feel better 🥰 🤗 🐰

I’ve started doing this and not only do my bunnies love the fresh forage, it’s free and saving me money! 🐰

Rabbit education and research is far behind that of other companion animals like dogs and cats. This leaves many people relying on dated welfare practices and an uphill battle for those trying to change them!

Knowledge of diet is one of those areas that needs a bit of an overhaul. The old fashioned diet of brassicas and carrots which were fed out of convenience when rabbits were first kept as companion animals needs to change!

We like to encourage a species specific diet, as close to what rabbits have evolved to thrive on in the wild, which is native plants. The wide range of safe plants, in their original form without meddling from humans (derived from a single species of plant) is clearly giving a wider range of nutritional benefits.

Anecdotally at the rescue we have found drastically fewer cases of stasis since removing all supermarket vegetables and we have had the same response from the many people we have encouraged to make this dietary change with their rabbits, often solving recurring stasis episodes in individual rabbits.

Have you made the change to feeding wild forage over supermarket vegetable? How have your rabbits responded?

Poor little Dolly went into stasis last night, you can see from the photo she looks so ill 😞

With medication, belly rubs and a hot water bottle I am so pleased to say she is now right as rain and started eating her hay before bed last night.

This morning it’s like nothing ever happened 🙄 😆

Dolly and Frostie had a lovely long run in the garden this evening with binkies and zoomies followed by a mani pedi and a groom 🐇

They then retreated back to their freshly cleaned room with hidden treats for enrichment (thanks to hubby!)

Typical bunnies, I couldn’t get a picture of them together! 🙃
