Squeeeee! They're so freaking cute. I want a bunny so badly. :(

[couchy]

hehe they were from p@H my auntie got them from there then give em 2 me they are cute im still getting used to them tho they seem 100% happier now because there out of that small cage and they love having a run around too

The are both gorgeous! :) have you changed them from being indoor to outdoor rabbits then? I would have maybe waited for hotter weather but as long as you have a plastic cover to cover the outside of the house like at the front to help insulate them ...we used a shower curtain which does the trick stops wind and rain going in :) Just they can catch colds if they are used to being in the warmth of the house xxx

Ahh what cute bunnys. Alot of bunnys dont like being picked up its a normal thing. Just try to support there feet when you pick them up. One of my bunnys growls at me when i try and pick him up and i sure he spits at the same time lol. Once having a cuddle he is ok but he has been like that since i got him. My in door bunny hates it too, he bites when we pick him up :( He doesnt bite as hard as he could just his way of saying "put me down"

yea i got tadpullin for them but i have noticed now since their in the new hutch there fighting and they never used to be like that and there is all bruises and graze marks on lexis back and a bit of pink on marbles face and i noticed theres blood on the hay near where they pee i got my appointment with the vets next week although my vet treatments are free i still got to pay for the rabbits to be sprayed and vaccine unlike my cat i get her stuff free, im with the PDSA so im quite annoyed it will be £63 each for the neutering and £40 for vaccinations each that's £103 per rabbit my partner have already payed out over £200 for me £150 for the hutch and £50 on accessories (books, tadpullin, petrol going to P@H plus treats) and sadly im on the sick so ill be giving him £46 a fortnight!
i know if i was in financial difficulties i shouldn't have had them but i am exception to hear off my old job so as soon as i start back with them ill be back on my £250 a week sal its just going to be tight for now but also worrying me because their fighting, either that or ill have to keep one indoors and one out.

Could be the stress of a change for them thats causing them to get nippy with eachother although getting them done will help the situation ...how old are they? Just if they have always been kept indoors they really should be kept inside as thats what their used to but obv youve spent alot of money on the hutch etc but its the same as having a dog and keeping it indoors for all its life then making it an outdoor dog in a kenell which isnt what its used to. I wish you all the best with them as they look adorable :) x

its that a 6ft x 2ft hutch on top of a 6ft x 4ft run?

I also agree with the PDSA charging for rabbits btw.

the fulll measurments are W120 x H120 x L150cm and they love it :) and they are much better now there not fighting anymore

Are they spayed? If not it will help with handling them when they are. My outdoor two are fine now they are bonded. Donny has mellowed Lola. Lola was a nightmare before she was spayed.. Donny was always a softy though. Lola is still a feisty being but out of 4 rabbits, she is the easiest to handle! They don't like being picked up so I wouldn't worry about it. If you need to move them, just pop them in a carrier, so much easier and it doesn't stress them out :) I know I wouldn't like to be grabbed from above for no reason ;)

[couchy]

no sadly but im hoping next week im going to get them done one at a time i have got a cat carrier so one can go in there :) i know what u mean lol :) i think just a bit more time with them and they will be ok soon enough, its just marbles (the blonde one) that is the worst at the moment
