Thanks to Julie for the following tips on
how to syringe-feed a rabbit...
"Wrap the rabbit in a towel if you think it wll
struggle and lie it on its back in your left hand (if
you're right-handed). Sit in either an armchair or
at a table so that you have some support for your
arm. Use a 1ml syringe - use several if you need
to deliver more than a 1ml dose. Stroke the
rabbit's upper lip from the middle to the side and
just gently slip the end of the syringe under the
lip into the gap between the front and back teeth.
Empty the syringe slowly so the rabbit has time
to swallow what you're putting in its mouth - 1ml
is more than a mouthful for most rabbits. NB :
Some rabbits will not swallow unless they are
the right way up and so will need to be turned
over several times. Take your time and don't try
to rush the rabbit - I would expect to take about
15-20 mins to give 15mls. If you are
syringe-feeding using something like Critical
Care or dissolved pellets, the rabbit will often lick
the food from the end of the syringe because it
tastes nice. If you are administering medicine
which doesn't taste nice you can give 1ml of
room temperature pineapple juice before and
after the medicine, which most rabbits like and is
also good for them in small quantities. It is also a
good idea to train a rabbit to take food and
pineapple juice from a syringe as it is less
stressful for a sick rabbit if it knows what to
expect."

| I have been meaning to let you know that Harry and Floppy are changed rabbits since they stayed with you. They have been much more affectionate and people friendly. I really do think that the attention that you gave to them has made a difference! Thank you SO much! (from Yester) |
| Just a quick note to thank you for taking such good care of our beloved pets [Flopsy rabbit & Holly hamster]. They looked so much happier and contented this time!! (Zoe) |
| Just a quick note to thank you so much for taking care of Dillon while we were away. Whilst it is great to have him back, it is obvious that he has been very happy and relaxed during his stay with you. (Becci) |
| Thank you for all the love and attention you have given Kabous this past month. You made it much easier and more pleasurable to go on holiday. Be sure that we will make use of your services again! (Deric and Jacqueline) |
I will soon be replacing two of my
standard-sized hutches with two
new giant hutches, meaning there
will be FOUR giant hutches
available for bonded pairs and
larger single rabbits.
**************************************************
I am also planning to clear two old
shrub borders in my garden and turf
them to make some raised areas for
the runs, which hopefully will stay a
bit drier than the main lawn!

| We just wanted to let you know that the bunnies are doing great. They are together and very happy! We feel that you helped us with their continued introduction by making their stay with you a happy and comfortable time. We will definitely be using your bunny boarding facilities again. A big thank you! (Lisa and Scott) |
