How do I get my rabbits to use I have two 10 week old dwarf
rabbits- 1boy, 1 girl(They're
getting desexed) and they live
in an indoor hutch which has a
corner little tray with wood
shavings in, they hardly use
it so how can I make them use
it?
Do not say change the litter
to kitty litter as i will not
as that is apparently bad for
rabbits.

How do you know where to cut a I own a couple of rabbits and
have special rabbit nail
clippers and i know you cannot
cut past the blood supply in
their nails but one of my
rabbits has black nails and i
cannot see where the blood
vessel starts. Do you have any
ideas?

It is easier with some-one to help you as you must restrain your rabbit. Hold the rabbit upside down with its head downhill as you cradle it in your arms as you would a baby. Gently stroke the rabbit's head and it will usually relax. If you hold a light on the opposite side of the nail you will often be able to see the vein through the nail and cut just enough for the vein to be left intact. If you cannot see the vein, just cut a little from the end and do it more often rather than cut too much |

They may be going through a molt. When this happens, they will lose their old coat and get a new one. Alot of times the color will appear to change. |

Rabbits-Do you know how long a How old do rabbits need to be
before they can have the
vaccination?
What time of year do they need
to be vaccinated?
Does the injection work
effectively?

myxi and dont want the same to
happen again.

The vaccination lasts 6 months and it used to be recommended that you vaccinate in the spring to cover the riskiest time during the summer but warmer winters and an increase in the disease means that it is now recommended that you vaccinate every 6 months throughout the year. It can be given from 6 weeks of age. The vaccine is not 100% effective but is much better than nothing and it cannot cause the disease as it does not use myxomatosis virus but a close relative. Myxomatosis is spread by a vector - either fleas or mosquitoes and so good flea control can also help. See the link below for a money saving offer: |

Will 2 male rabbits from the We are considering adopting 2
baby male rabbits from the
same litter. However we are
concerned that as they grow
older they may fight with each
other. Is this likely? Thanks
in advance for answers!

Once they reach sexual maturity they will begin to fight to see who is dominant. They can hurt each other badly even to the death. Two females from the same litter can be kept together successfully but two males is not a good combination. If you are going to get both of them they will need their own cages/hutches. Better safe than sorry |
