2 females can be good friends, and Ive heard stories where they can even raise litters together. after all this time tho it would be stressful for them

I have a pair of bonded females both were rescues, both were 4 years old when bonded and I got both at completely different times a year apart.

How cute - never knew you could bond females! Do they have to be neutered first? Bet the company is nice for them.

Clover's just been to the vets - they reckon the sniffles are caused by an infection related to her teeth. So we're carrying on with batryl and we now have something to clear her nose; that's what seems to be putting her off her food - she gets so blocked up she struggles to breath and eat and ends up spluttering. Back to the vets in 4 days for another check up... fingers crossed.

Clover LOVES being in the house!

glad shes happy, I do know that a lot of people have used steam next to their rabbits to try and unblock there noses, dont know if any1 else has any good suggestions.

Yeah, I'm gonna try that one next... gonna get STEAMY!

Yep both were neutered in advance allowing the stitches to heal and hormones to go.

Am a bit concerned that Clover's illness is making her mildly violent... think she's getting bored of the twice daily batryl and being syringe fed (she sometimes takes food out of our hands or off a spoon or if she's feeling better she even takes from her bowl). But yesterday she bit my partner on her shoulder... and she's getting jumpy and bad tempered with us...

Is there anything we're doing wrong? Kept rabbits for over fives years now and both buns became ill months apart from summer to now (different illnesses). We lost poor Violet as she became very ill quite quickly. So we have little experience of nursing poorly buns...

She might have started linking you with the nasty tasting medicine she has to have. Give her a favourite treat each time she has to have the medicine if she'll have it or lots of cuddles to say sorry. Mine usually get grumpy when they've had to have medicine.

mine too get stroppy when I have to worm them etc, I usually give them a slice of carrot to say sorry.

I know i shouldnt do this but if you go to link in my signature to the rabbit rehome site and click on the forum there, theres loads of really expereinced rescues that have lots of bunnies like yours and will be able to give you some more advice. x
