DID YOU KNOW THAT??
herpes is as common in rabbits as it is in humans??? 
It is reported that whilst humans can pass herpes onto rabbits it is unknown for the reverse to happen – rabbits suffer from different strains of the disease than humans. There is no known cure for this disease in rabbits. Do you have anything to add to this…???

NEUTERING AND SPAYING…
is it okay to do that to your rabbit a friend asked when I said that I was taking along my rabbit to the veterinary for the ‘snip’. Until then I hadn’t thought about it too deeply – just accepted it as good practise and pointed out to her that it was not practical to keep a rabbit in a rampant state of sexuality when you had more than one and they were opposite sex too… 
But she kept at it and asked me whether or not I thought it was morally right to take away another creatures right to breed, which is after all a strong urge in just about all of us. In short she finished isn’t it cruel??? Well what do you think… and practical considerations aside do we really have the right to interfere in this way… ????

THE BURROWING MITE
hair loss in rabbits can be down to several things. Burrowing mites are just one of the causes – they are devastating to the health of the rabbit if left unchecked. Wounds will begin to appear around the area of the lips,
nose and head in the first instance but will quickly travel into other areas. The rabbit will scratch at the infected areas and eventually skin abrasions will develop – these are a serious cause of secondary infections and open wounds are always attractive to flies and fly-strike… if your rabbit has suffered from any of the issues raised her then please get in touch and tell us what happened…

DO NOT FEED…
your rabbit as if it were a human!!! While this may seem like common sense to you it is, very sadly, not so to everyone out there. It has been reported that more and more rabbits are being found to be overweight –
this is due in the main to a lack of proper exercise and an inappropriate diet – so – sweets are out, so too is chocolate…. muesli is another no go area. What rabbits need most is grass, hay. Treats should be small and given sensibly – treats come in the form of a piece of fresh fruit or vegetable… tell us about your rabbit’s diet…

IF YOUR RABBIT IS EXPECTING
you need, to make sure she has all she needs. A nest box is a must and the ideal one is roomy enough for her and babies to lie down in and to turn about. 
Line it with pine shavings and top this with a generous layer of hay. Always seek an experts help and advice on looking after your doe and her offspring – read more at the link included here…. if you have a rabbit birthing story to tell us then please share it now.

BREEDING A GREAT WAY TO MAKE MONEY????
I am always suspicious of this kind of statement apart from the fact that it never seems quite right to make a profit out of an animal in this way. But how easy is it to make a profit??? I should think not as easy as it might sound – 
rabbits need space and food and lots of care, notwithstanding veterinary fees – in my view to make a profit out of selling and breeding then you need to be in it in a big way and it needs to be a business and once business comes into it then money is the first consideration to keep that business healthy…. take my point… but do you agree or disagree? I really want to hear what you think…

A BARGIN AT HALF THE PRICE
when it comes to buying a rabbit the best and cheapest option is to buy/adopt a rabbit from a local rescue centre – compare the costs – most pet shops charge around £25 for a rabbit and then you will have to pay for spaying and vaccinations – a rescue centre may charge as little as ten pound or as much as £50 but the rabbit will be spayed and vaccinated and fully checked over by their veterinary. When you consider these factors then the cost is more than competitive… and you get the satisfaction of giving that bun a second chance at life…
Agree or disagree….

THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
but rabbits make great pets. But then I’m preaching to the converted here aren’t I ???
Or are you still under the impression that a rabbit lives in a hutch…. it can take a while for the idea of a rabbit living inside your house to sink in but it is a fact that more and more people have house rabbit’s that they share their lives with much the same as they might a dog or cat – I have a friend who told me that when she was little they always had pet rabbits but they were kept outdoors in hutches – with the best will in the world they were neglected she added sadly… now she has a house rabbit and by the sounds of it, it has a wonderful life…. tell us how you keep your rabbit happy and healthy…. are you new to the idea of house rabbits???? Tell us more…

A VERY GOOD REASON TO KEEP THAT RABBIT HUTCH CLEAN…
did you know that when urine and litter degrades, 
particularly in warm conditions, it gives off a strong gas called Ammonia – Ammonia is extremely toxic to rabbits and can cause very distressing symptoms such as eyelids swelling and breathing difficulties… so the only moral here is keep that hutch clean on a daily basis!!! Agree or disagree???

HAIR LOSS AND RENEWAL
is a common issue in rabbits… in fact in most animals including us this is a natural pattern and is all a part of keeping the body and its component parts healthy.Some people can find it a problem and it is a pity they had not been alerted to the fact that rabbits do and will shed fur at various times… to read more about this though follow the link included here. Do you own a house rabbit and if so did you know before you got them that they would shed hair??? Tell us your house rabbit stories now…
