How to hold your rabbits🐇

Once they’re comfortable around you, your rabbits will like being stroked and being around you. Generally you should avoid picking your rabbit up, instead interact with them on the floor, where they feel safer.

If you do need to pick your rabbit up, place one hand under their chest and the other under their hind legs. Always hold them against your body so they feel secure. Never pick a rabbit up by the ears or the scruff of the neck.

Rabbits are not aggressive by nature, but they can bite, scratch or kick if they feel nervous. Often this happens when you are handling them, so it’s a good idea to handle them from an early age.

Rabbit Behaviour Dictionary continued... 📒❤

Digging
If your rabbits are not on grass then they will need a digging pit. This could be a large litter tray or planter filled with earth. This will need to be changed regularly. If your rabbits are on grass then make sure they aren’t able to dig out of their enclosure.

Rearing up
Make sure that the rabbits always have at least 1 metre (just over 3 feet) of height so they can stretch up. This will avoid a painful spinal deformity and allows them to check the horizon for predators and feel safe so that they can get on with their busy day of foraging!

Mix it up
Switch toys and furniture around every now and again so your buns don’t get bored.
You’ll be rewarded with the sight of your buns checking out their changed surroundings and ‘owning’ the corners with their chins, so cute! Keep their main bedroom, whether that be a hutch or something else, and tunnels in the same place though – they need to know that their home base is secure and safe.

Foraging
⭐️Rabbits love to snuffle around for titbits so rather than put their food in a bowl, put it around the enclosure, in their tunnels or under some hay, this will encourage their natural urge to go foraging.

⭐️Use a treat ball to feed them, they will nose it around to get the pellets.
Willow tunnels stuffed with hay and fresh herbs mixed in their hay are always popular.

⭐️Willow, hazel, apple and blackthorn branches are always a hit, and are a healthy treat as well as a great addition to the diet.

⭐️Stuff paper bags with hay and herbs and your buns will wrestle their way in.

⭐️Got an old muffin/Yorkshire pudding tray? put it in the enclosure and fill each of the holes with hay and hide their pellets or a small healthy treat in each one.

⭐️Stuff the cardboard tube from inside a toilet roll with hay for your buns to pick out their favourite bits.

⭐️Pick some fresh forage and put it around the enclosure – it’s great for your rabbits and it’s free!

⭐️Make a turf tray by filling a litter tray or plant potting tray with turf from a garden centre. This will allow them to eat fresh grass. It’s a good idea to have two so you can swap them in and out to allow the grass to regrow.

Training your rabbit❤

Did you know? You can train your rabbits to fetch, go back to their hutch, and respond to their name! It’s a great experience for both of you, providing enrichment for your buns and helping you grow closer.

A great way to train a new behaviour is via clicker training. A small click when your rabbit does what you want, followed by a treat helps them to learn that click means treat!

Start with small pieces of a treat. Click your clicker, and then after a short pause, give them a treat.
Repeat this until they have learnt to expect a treat after hearing the click.
Encourage your rabbit to do a task, for example coming over to you. When they do (no matter how long it takes), sound a click and give them a treat.
Once they’ve started to get the hang of the trick, start to introduce a cue word, for example ‘come’ or their name. You’ll need to repeat this 40 – 60 times in different situations, in different locations, before they pick it up.

Are rabbits nocturnal?🐇

Rabbits sleep a lot during the day, and then again in the middle of the night. They’re crepuscular – which means they’re most active at dawn and dusk.

This means they need constant access to plenty of high-quality feeding hay or fresh grass, food, and fresh water in their housing. Rabbits also need lots of hiding places and toys to keep them entertained whenever they decide to wake up!

26/06/2024

Playing games with your rabbits🐰

Playing games is a great way to keep your rabbits entertained, prevent boredom, and encourage them to exercise. There are plenty of boredom breakers and rabbit-friendly toys out there that you can include in their housing to provide them with enrichment.

Some great games to play with your rabbits include the hopping challenge – build a low wall out of items like cardboard boxes and encourage your buns to hop over them with a tasty treat. Or try the nibble and sprint – encourage your rabbit to follow you with some tasty greens such as parsley! Plus, rabbit zoomies are really cute!

The Rabbit Behaviour Dictionary 📒🐇

Binky❤
Have you noticed your rabbits jumping in the air and twisting? This is called a binky! This is a great sign showing they’re feeling very happy and playful.

Biting
If you get a small nip from your rabbit, like a little pinch, this could be a sign that your rabbit wants your attention now, or that they’re warning you. If your rabbit bites you hard, this could be a sign of fear or stress.

Ears on alert
When your rabbit’s ears are up, something has got their attention and they’re on alert. Similarly, with their ears back, they’re very relaxed.

Licking you or each other
Rabbits show affection by licking each other, so this a great way to see that you’re doing great!

Thumping
Rabbits thump to communicate that there’s danger around. It can also be a sign that they’re annoyed and often means stop doing what you’re doing!

Grinding their teeth
When rabbits grind their teeth, listen out for how loud they are. Gentle, soft grinding (like a purring cat) is a sign of contentment. If you hear your rabbit grinding their teeth loudly, they’re in pain and need to see a vet as soon as possible.

Understanding your bunnies behaviour 🐇

Rabbits can be a great addition to the family. Once they get to know you, rabbits can be very friendly, showing you affection, plus they’ll definitely let you know what’s what! Understanding what your rabbits are trying to tell you is a great way to secure your bond and lead a happy life together.

Rabbits are prey animals, so their natural response is to run and hide if they feel threatened. You might notice at first your rabbits are shy around you, but with a little patience and regular interaction, you’ll soon become the best of friends. It’s also a good idea to have hiding places in their housing to give them somewhere to hide and feel safe.

Does my bun look big in this? 😂🐰

OBESITY

Just like humans, rabbits can easily become obese due to incorrect diet and lack of exercise. Obesity is very serious for rabbits, not only because it impacts their quality of life but because it is also linked to problems such as gut stasis and flystrike.

Whether they live indoors or out, they must have enough room to exercise so when you plan their home, bear this in mind.

Fat rabbits suffer from a number of serious health risks, including not being able to clean themselves or reach their bottom to eat their caecotrophs – which puts them at greater risk of skin infections and flystrike. The extra weight they carry also puts strain on all their organs, especially their hearts and livers. Just like us, if they are fat, their joints will suffer and it’ll be harder for them to exercise, which will just make things even worse.

Remember that however much hay you give your rabbits, if you’re giving them too much commercial food and treats then, just like humans, they’ll often go for the unhealthy option at the expense of the good stuff 🥦

Neutering your rabbits🐰

Neutering is the act of removing reproductive organs. this is known as spaying for females and castrating for males.

FEMALES:
Neutering your rabbits avoids unwanted litters. Unfortunately, up to 80% of un-neutered female rabbits can develop cancer of the uterus by the age of 5. Neutering your female rabbit at an early age will stop these cancers from developing.

MALES:
Un-neutered males can be aggressive to other rabbits. In comparison, neutered male rabbits can live happily with male and female rabbits. A neutered female and neutered male are usually the most successful pairing.

Rabbit Bladder Problems👎

It can be alarming to see rabbit urine. It varies in colour from fairly pale to orange or sometimes red and it may be quite cloudy and thick. As long as there are no blood flecks or any sludge, there is generally no need for concern.

Rabbits’ urine can change dramatically depending on what they have eaten. If they have eaten red cabbage, beetroot leaves or other foods with strong colouring, their wee may be stained red. This is called beeturea, and it’s normal.

Sludge❗️
Most animals take as much calcium from food as they need. Rabbits are different. They extract all the calcium from their diet and any they don’t need is processed by their kidneys and expelled in their wee. This is fine as long as:

➡️they are drinking enough and urinate frequently
➡️they don’t have mobility problems and are able to empty their bladder fully every time and
➡️the amount of calcium they eat is appropriate

Infections❗️
Rabbits can suffer from bladder conditions such as cystitis. Cystitis is inflammation of the lining of the bladder. This can be caused by bacteria, but it can also be triggered by the presence of sludge in their bladder. Rabbits with cystitis will usually strain to wee but not produce much, or any at all in extreme cases. What they do manage may be blood-flecked. They will sometimes grunt or quietly whimper because of pain and it’s very likely they won’t want to eat. They may sit hunched up or pant.

CALL US ON 01935 475314📞 if you are concerned your rabbit has any of the bladder problems above.

25/06/2024

Rabbits and E. cuniculi (Encephalitozoon cuniculi)❗️🐰👎

What is “E cuniculi”?
E cuniculi (Ec) is a microscopic brain and kidney parasite that affects rabbits along with a small range of other species. Some rabbits can carry the parasite without ever becoming ill whilst others may show a range of symptoms.

Are my rabbits at risk?
Potentially, all rabbits are at risk as infection is most likely caught from the mother. The parasite can also be caught later in life eg after being introduced to an infected newcomer, or sharing a grazing area with a rabbit carrying the infection.

How do I know if my rabbits have been infected with Ec?

Typical signs of infection:

➡️Head tilting to one side.
➡️Eyes may track side to side or up and down.
➡️Shuffling or weakness on one or both back legs – in some cases paralysis
➡️Uncontrollable spinning or rolling
➡️Unexplained changes including seizures, deafness, cataracts or behavioral changes
➡️Drinking and urinating more than usual due to kidney failure.

However, these symptoms are not guaranteed to be present in your rabbit.

Prevention?
Ec is surprisingly widespread and it is almost impossible to be absolutely certain that any rabbit is infection-free. However, it should be stressed that despite approximately half of all pet rabbits carrying the infection, only a small proportion of these cases ever show any illness.

Technically, the only certain way of preventing your rabbit from being infected would be to keep it away from other rabbits for its whole life. This is something we cannot recommend as the risks of Ec infection are far less significant than the misery your rabbit would suffer if it was kept alone. In most cases, keeping rabbits in a stable group is the next best thing.

We do not recommend routine worming to prevent Ec as, like any drug, it can be harmful and should only be used when necessary. This should be discussed with your vet before using preventatively.

Grooming your bun 🐰💞

Like cats, rabbits spend a huge amount of time grooming. Keeping clean is very important to their health.

How often to groom?
We can help our pets by grooming them regularly, and this is especially important when they are moulting. When rabbits groom themselves they swallow a lot of fur and if they swallow too much it can cause their gut to slow down, which can be dangerous.

FACT OF THE DAY - Unlike cats, RABBITS CANNOT VOMIT, so it’s important to remove as much loose fur as possible.

Rabbits’ skin is very delicate and easily damaged, so it’s important that any grooming equipment is comfortable for them and used carefully.

Ideally you should groom your rabbit every day. It’ll help you and your rabbit become better acquainted and at the same time give you the chance to check your rabbit for any problems – more on that later.

Grooming isn’t only about getting out loose fur, it’s also the opportunity to examine:

💚Eyes to ensure they are clean and bright,
💚Ears to ensure they are clean with no discharge and no unpleasant odour,
💚Feet to ensure there are no injuries or abrasions,
💚Bottoms to ensure they are clean and there is no sign of flystrike
💚Your rabbit’s body condition – not too fat nor too thin and with no lumps or bumps.

25/06/2024

GUT STASIS❗️

Gut stasis is a condition where a rabbit's digestive system slows down or stops.

This can result in a buildup of gas and toxins which can be fatal to the affected rabbit.

An increased risk of gut stasis is linked to selective feeding and reduced hay intake which can occur when rabbits are fed muesli-based diets.

If the appetite goes or the poos stops then see a vet now, this is an emergency.

Don’t wait until tomorrow – that may well be too late and your rabbit may die a horrible death. Rabbits are good at hiding signs of disease, and if their guts slow down or stop moving, this isn’t just painful, it’s potentially fatal.

25/06/2024

FLYSTRIKE❗️

Flystrike occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit, usually around the rear, which hatch into maggots and eat the flesh of the rabbit. Flystrike can often be a sign of an underlying health problem, such as obesity, resulting in wet fur or an accumulation of sticky droppings (caecotrophs) around their bottom.

If you think your rabbits have flystrike then you should CALL US IMMEDIATELY!📞

There are some fly repellents designed for rabbits, however, the best way to prevent flystrike is to ensure your rabbit is at a healthy weight, in good health generally, and by checking them every day in the winter and twice a day in the warm weather.

Keeping happy and healthy rabbits 🐰💚

The average life span for a domesticated rabbit is between 8 – 12 years.

To help your rabbits live a long and happy life, you need to look after all of their welfare needs, including their health. That's why this year's RAW theme is Neutering: Protect and Prevent! Protecting rabbits from reproductive diseases and preventing unwanted litters.

Neutering your rabbits’ health is a key part of helping keep them happy. Neutering not only prevents breeding and unwanted litters but also prevents diseases linked to reproductive organs. In fact, around 80% of unneutered female rabbits develop cancer of the womb by the age of five.

Rabbits are prey animals, which unfortunately means they hide the signs of injury or ill health. This means it is even more important that, as their owner, you know what to look out for.

You must register your rabbits with a bunny-friendly vet, take them at least once a year for a check-up, and keep up to date with their essential vaccinations.
If you’re ever worried or notice something isn’t quite right, always take your buns to the vet!

Are rabbits herbivores?

Choosing the best rabbit food for your bunnies can seem confusing. They are complex animals that need a balanced diet with the right mix of fibre, vitamins and minerals to stay happy and healthy.

They are herbivores, which means rabbits need a plant-based diet with lots of fibre. Fibre is a key part of their diet and it keeps your rabbits’ digestive system healthy and moving, helping to prevent illnesses such as gut stasis. An easy way to get great fibre in their diet is to ensure your rabbits have unlimited access to good quality, dust-extracted feeding hay or fresh grass.

It’s a good idea to always monitor your rabbit’s weight by weighing them regularly. This helps you to keep an eye on their overall health too. If you have any concerns about your rabbit’s weight, or if your rabbit is not eating, seek the advice of your vet.

24/06/2024

Move away from muesli!

In 2014 the University of Edinburgh published its research, supported by Burgess Pet Care, highlighting the risks associated with feeding rabbits a muesli-style diet.

Muesli has been found to cause rabbits to selectively feed. This is when rabbits eat some of the high-sugar elements and leave behind the high fibre parts. This leads to rabbits eating an unbalanced diet which can result in poor health, including dental disease and obesity.

Feeding rabbit nuggets rather than muesli can help ensure your rabbits get the best diet and prevent selective feeding. 🐰

24/06/2024

Did you know rabbits eat their poo? And it’s really healthy for them! Rabbits need lots of fibre to stay healthy. 💩

Rabbits can’t get all the essential nutrients they need the first time they eat their food. The first time they eat something, like tasty hay, the digestible fibre moves through their gut and is excreted as caecotrophs, which are soft, sticky droppings. Your rabbit will then eat these droppings to get the rest of the vital nutrients. The second time they’re digested they are excreted as round, hard droppings.

This is why lots of fibre, found in hay and good quality nuggets, is so important!

More advice 👉 https://bit.ly/3UPdJwg

Image description: An infographic lists ways to keep your dog safe in warm weather. 1. Walk your dog when it's cooler; early morning or late evening. 2. Ensure your dog has plenty of water and shade all day. 3. Do the tarmac test: if you can't comfortably hold your hand on the tarmac for five seconds, then it is too hot for your dog's paws. 4. Take extra care with flat-faced, overweight, unwell and older dogs. Exercise is the most common trigger for heat-related illness so take care not to over excert your dog.

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"

When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."

Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."

$Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places...$

01/10/2023

Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.

He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."

Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."

At Vets4Pets we know your pet is a much loved part of the family and you want them to enjoy a long, healthy life. This is why our veterinary teams, made up of animal loving experts, firmly believe in providing the highest level of care and treating every pet they see like they would their own. Every Vets4Pets practice is equipped with the latest in technology, which means we can offer your pets the personalised care they need. Our practices are also designed to make your pet’s time with us as comfortable as possible; just like kids don’t always like going to the dentist, we know pets don’t always like going to the vets! Our waiting areas are light and spacious (and with floors that can cope with little accidents) and we also have separate dog and cat wards so your pet can recuperate more comfortably after any treatment. Our vets will explain all clinical terms so you fully understand what is happening to your pet and you are fully involved in their treatment plan. This also includes being completely transparent in our pricing, so you can make an informed choice on the treatment that you want your pet to receive. Come and see for yourself at your local Vets4Pets, why not take a practice tour?
