Re: Urgent help needed!!!!!

my advice would be to get her spayed, if not already done, then get her a friend, and upgrade her hutch, you need a minimum or 6 x 2 (single level) or 5 x 2 (double level) with an attached 6 x 4 run (or equivalent)

Re: Urgent help needed!!!!!

The RSPCA now recommends a 6ftx2ft hutch and a 6ftx8ft run. (the run size they should have has gone up.....it just shows you how much space bunnies NEED.

You could bring her in to be a house rabbit. My buns love living indoors. They use their trays, and Ed never passes cuddles on the sofa. They can be relly rewarding pets if you give them the chance.

Re: Urgent help needed!!!!!

You could try a rabbit harness obviously you can't leave her unattended but it'll break up her day a bit. The best solution would be to get her a run and some toys - rabbits are very playful creatures. Make sure it's a run with a lid so there's no chance of any predators getting it.
