        I’m going to meet this little chap tonight, don’t really know much about him yet. Hopefully he is a outgoing energetic kind of bunny who doesn’t chew! as that’s what Cinders needs to bring her out of her shell.

              He is a cutie, i’m going to scope him out alone initially (its an hours drive away) and if I think he’s got the right personality to be good for her I will take her back for bonding whilst I clean the house

                                    Guys, he is absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous White coat and stunning blue eyes.

                                    The lady said she was more than happy for me to have him and would be happy for me to take him home that night, so I did. Mum is bringing my spare cage for me today so he has somewhere to sleep although it appears he prefers my bed as he slept at the end of our bed all night.

                                    So Frank is now part of the family, he is so relaxed, loves being stroked, not easily scared and is very inquisitive, just what Cinders needs, I cant wait to introduce them

                                    The bit you’ve all been waiting for, the pics

                                    I don’t understand why this picture is upside down, it’s not upside down on my pc but no matter how many times I upload it, it’s upside down. Even tried turning the pic upside down on my pc and re-uploading it – Still upside down

                                                    (To those non brits. Being “chuffed” is feeling happy and warm inside about something).

When Gareth became disabled and lost control of his bladder i decided to get rid and replaced it with the same rug but smaller version

Luckily I was wearing jeans…)

I think he just got carried away. Breaks my heart watching it on the camera, it goes on for 45 minutes

I don’t, if it’s just the fur that’s gone and not red raw irritated (though the next session it might)….. mine groom for that long….

                                                                                                                                                            I’m guessing if she was hurting when he groomed her, she would move….

Many buns are doing that now. Some buns get bald spots during moult because it itches and they tend to over-groom, or let themselves be over-groomed.

I think it had started to hurt as from watching the bunny cam she does pull away at one point then goes to the other side of the run and she sits away from him for the rest of the night. When I noticed it the morning after it had happened I touched her face to move the remaining hair out of the way to “assess the damage” and she flinched. She avoided being groomed for the following couple of days too.

                                                                                                                                                                It doesn’t hurt anymore and we can touch it and she’s not shying away when he goes to groom her which is good, I’ve not noticed any further excessive grooming so I’ll just keep an eye on it for now x

If he keeps doing it you may have to ask the vet about it.
