hi, im a newbie on here thought id get as much info as i can, as id like to care for my 10 week old conti giant buck to the best i can.

so any info or tips regarding having one as an indoor pet would be great and appreciated.

i only went and brought him yesterday evening, hes gorgeous and slowly getting more used to me.

im hoping to be able to take him to the vets this week, to have a health check and make sure hes doing well.

if you too have a conti giant please post some pictures..x

Hey

Check this thread out for some great tips Important information for new rabbit owners

Will you be getting him a friend? Rabbits are extremely social animals so do much better when in pairs or groups

thank you for replying.

thats a great link, ill carry on reading it

where it says about veg though im confussed because when we went to pick *Frazzels* (rabbit) up the women said dont feed greens everyday, to just pick one day a week to give them him. however on the link it says every day?

for now im just having the one indoor rabbit, maybe after a little while i might consider getting another. but he wont be going short on attention believe me ..x

How often you feed veg is up to you really, some feed once a week, some feed everyday.
Some rabbits will produce excess cecotropes if fed veg everyday, and some rabbits can eat veg everyday without any issues. So it really is down to the individual rabbit

ok thank you, i think ill stick with once a week whilst hes still young and see how he goes. i really dont want to over feed him as that can be really bad ive been told.

Ive only ever had small rabbits before and theyve been outdoor ones..x

As he is young it is best to stick with what the breeder fed him, as young rabbits are prone to bloat with sudden changes.
You should be able to start making changes from about 14/15 weeks old

i have conties but mine are outside buns i feed mine a bit of veg evry day with out any probs persy would go mad without his veg. but your rabbit is too young for veg so hold off for another month then interjuce very slowly and watch his reaction iepoos for going too soft and you should be fine .heres pics alvira persy and ebony

yes i think im going to stick with the food hes been brought up on anyway so that should be ok.

thanks wacky for your response too. you have three, there lovely. frazzels looks alot like your persy one ill have to post a pic up.

i know im going to the vets with him the end of this week but i would like more than just the vets opinion. what injections should my conti need when i first go? or is he not old enough to have any..x

Meet Frazzels





sorry the pictures are so big. this is Frazzels in his temporary home until we move into the new one..x

He needs VHD, make sure you ask for Lapinject or Anivac as many rabbits can get a bad reaction to the Cylap jab (once a year) and then 14 days later he will need Myxi (every 6 months)
If your vet says that he doesn't need them due to being a house rabbit, please, please, please insist that he has them as house rabbits are just as much at risk as outdoor buns
