So now she wants a rabbit...

Cans of argoshield? Don't do it man it's not worth it. Get friendly with a local fabricators and get them to sort you out a bottle properly.

The house brick was a bit unusual...lol They do some sort of soft wood chew things for rabbit. never give em hardwood, it'll really make it ill.

and yes pooooooo, but its better than a dog eating its own

Can it eat cake??

Disclaimer for yc: not a permanent solution! there's a link to a supplier who does co2 & argon mix where you put a deposit on the bottle and pay as you go on gas, unlike boc where you have to rent the bottle (it's something like that but cant remember exactly what.... just till I get sorted), gonna have a practice and get an idea how much gas I get through in how much time, then I can make an informed decision about big bottles www.Mig-welding.co.uk/forum


and yes dizzee, I think a dog eating it's own mess is probably much worse than a rabbit but hey ho reet - off to pick the critter up, wish me luck lol

They all were plugged in the mains, he doesn't seem to get shocked even when sparks are flying.

The lap top fried the mother board when he chewed the cable ( not sure this is the right technical term Fizz is the geek of the house)

Yep it did, I forgot about that one. Managed to get it repaired on the HP warranty though

As Liz says leaving them plugged in doesnt stop him, when he killed the laptop, I caught him mid chew and he had sparks coming out of his mouth and he still carried on chewing.

He hasnt so far chewed an Ipod power supply though.. perhaps he doesnt like Appl products like Mr Soulkiss

Paul - I thought of something else, get a litter tray and put that in its hutch, again watch for which corner he uses as a toilet and the put the tray in that corner or space, it'll stop the entire hutch getting soaked with wee and its less messy when cleaning out.

We've had rabbits as long as I can remember, we have 5 at the minute, we bought "2 brothers" a while back who incidentally were not, so now we have their children and grandchildren All seperated now lol.

I'd 100% agree with everyone else about male rabbits, much more docile and affectionate. The females we've had in the past are very grumpy and one would attack you when you went in to get her bowl, some days she was worse than others though! Get her spayed as soon as possible, hormones affect some females terribly Ours aren't because me mam is a soft bugger who loves the babies I think she's slowly learning her lesson now though

Make sure you handle your bundle of fluff lots, let it get used to your smells and be comfortable around you. They're lovely creatures, happy to be cuddled for ages and don't have the tendency to crap/pi$$ on you when you pick 'em up. Tidy and clean creatures too, as Fizz has said, they will stick to specific corners of their living area providing you clean them out regularly.

A salt lick is also a good idea, available from petshops, just to clip on the wire or just a block in the hutch. Salt is a major requirement of most pets as they don't get their necessary doses from their diet.

These are some of ours,

Yup, tis called coprophagy, the first poo is soft and sloppy which they gobble up and redigest, when it comes out again its a small, hard round pellet which you're no doubt familiar with already It's the sort of reverse of cows chewing the cud (where they chuck up their food the first time and chew in the mouth before sending it back down again).

Liz bought some applewood ( I think ) chew sticks for ours, which he likes. Also he seems quite partial to corn on the cob as well.
