Re: how big!

uummm....since you got kittens you haven't been paying her much attention, that's pretty horrible
You sound like one of those people who sell an older animal when they get a new one, makes me so feel sorry for the poor existing pets

Re: how big!

how can you not pay attention to one animal just because you have others? i am owned by over 70 fluffs and i still manage to pay equal attention to them all

if you havent been paying attention to her you really cant have been giving her the attention she needs and deserves, as a lone rabbit she relies on you for EVERYTHING not just food and water, but for company and socialisation

new pets should NOT take your attention from your existing pets

Re: how big!

I totally agree with the other two posters. Rabbits need lots of attentions especially a lone one. I feel really sorry for your rabbit. All pets should have your attention, not just new ones.

Re: how big!

I agree with the above posters, I have 23 here at the moment and they all get the care and attention they need. In fact most of my animals are here because the old owner got bored because of new pets turning up

Re: how big!

I agree with all the replies, but the OP profile says she is only 12 yrs old. Where i sincerely hope that her parents are providing full care for the animals it is never to early for her to realise how much time and care ALL pets need, not just the new fluffy cute ones...

Re: how big!

It's very sad that she's not getting any attention....how will you pick up on any illness if you don't look at her long enough to see that she's grown?

Summer is a dangerous time for buns,as they can get blowfly strike.

As your bun is 3 my guess would be that she hasn't grown, but has gotten fat, due to no exercise and too much food. She is severly at risk, as she might not be able to reach her bum to clean.

You need to check her a few times a day. Blow fly strike is excruciatingly painful, as the maggots eat away at the rabbit. You don't want that happening!!

This poor bun needs more attention. Just because you got cute kittens doesn't mean she isn't there. She deserves just as much...if not more....attention than the kittens. They have each other, she only has you.

Oh I wish I hadn't looked at that! I thought (dont know why though!!) that the bunny was an indoor one.

Jeez this just makes things sound even worse for the poor bunny. She's stuck in a tiny cage in the garden all alone with no-one paying her any attention, only going down to throw food to her
Things like this make me seriously want to cry....and go hug my bunny bubbas!

Re: how big!

id suggest that you get a bigger hutch and you can attach a larger run onto it so the bunnies are secure from cats/predators and maybe get her a friend. and OBVIOUSLY dont just leave her in the garden on her own. spend time with her or bring them inside the house... hopefully as the kittens are young they will get used to a fluff ball hanging around

lol when i had my dogs and cats they would curl up and sleep together

obviously dont leave them alone together but if even during the evening when u finish school you bring the rabbit inside maybe while your doing your homework or something have her with you in ur room and play with her


never had rabbits so dont know nothing bout em but thats what i would try
