Ive accquired three rabbits. Dumped in a lay by. Im not set up for rabbits but agreed to take them.
They are currently in a stable. Have straw on the floor and a private area - upside down hay bar. They have water and rabbit food and a whole bale of hay. Ive looked up what veg to feed but there seems to be conflicting advice.
They arrive yesterday and so far have eaten a whole bag - supermarket size- of rabbit food and a huge carrier bag stuffed of hay- thats why I put the bale in.
Theyve had apples, pears, carrots, lettuce, radish, beetroot salad mix, cucumber, celery, mint, blueberries,broccoli, cauliflower, dandelions and grass. They ate everything yesterday and have slowed up a bit today.
Is there any veg or fruit they can't have? Ive read - tomato and onion, but apart from that?
They are booked into the vets for vaccination. They will be booked to be castrated. Anything else?
Ive bathed them today- they are matted in faeces. They will need another bath. They are covered in scratches, bites and matts. One doesnt seem to have much fur. They seem to get on ok- apart from trying to hump one another which Im hoping castrating will solve. They do sleep cuddled together.
Vet said no turn out until they have been vaccinated- we have lots of wild rabbits in the garden and paddocks but when I do come to turn out any suggestions? It will need to be Fox proof- cant bear the little pens Ive looked at in the garden centres, seem so small!
Any advice appreciated!
