Re: New to Rabbits

hi all..thanku for all your help..my bunnies have the run of my back yard, as well as the hutch, its all concrete and walled so they are very safe...they do go back in the hutch and run at night though and when i go out. They are cleaned out every day and more if see theyv had a wee.

I may have to re-home my lovely bunnies as my daughter has been having breathing probs since ive had them and her eyes keep going all puffy and runny when she goes near them she is very sad she cant stroke them..

If u knw of anyone plz post me a message.

thanku
Dizz

I have recently been informed by the vet it will cost me £89 each to have the boyz neutured and vacinated...is this expensive and do you know anywhere i could get help..im a single mum and my son has austism so i thought the bunnies would b nice for him.

Have checked out different bunny sites but never found one that said it would b expensive for vacinations and neuturing.

Would appreciate any info anyone can give me.

Im also worried about flystrike, my vet said that when the weather warms up alot of bunnies get it, i clean my bunnies out twice a day and have some flystrike spray...do u think they will b ok
Bunnies cost alot of money and like any animal this is something you have to think about before getting them.

Vaccinations cost about £20 each for myxi and £20 each VHD, myxi needs to be done 6 monthly and VHD yearly.

Neutering for boys is anything from £40 to £65 at a good vets. Makesure they have experince with rabbits.

You clean them out twice a day? Thats alot!! I have my buns litter trained, they have their litter trays clean everyday and then a big clean once a week.

Its so important to research getting the animal of any kind, rabbits do not make good pets for young children, they are prey animals and dont like loud noise and like affection on their own terms they are not an ideal cuddly pet.

They cost more money and take up more time than having a cat.

If you want to rehome them or get more advice go to Rabbit Rehome - Adopt an unwanted bunny from a rescue centre theres a great forum there too.

Cleaning them out twice a day will upset them. By all means clean their toilet area everyday but the whole lot should only be cleaned once a week at most in my opinion.
