thehallfamily Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi We have 3 hens in an eglu, and have just got a rabbit. Sybil has just got a boring wooden hutch, until hubby can be persuaded to buy a bunnylu... She is a beautiful grey and white lop, and we only got her last week! She seems very docile and easy to pick up even though she is a baby. Is this normal?? Also, horrors when I just got her out for a cuddle she has a very gooey eye. I have wiped it with cotton wool and boiled water. But should I take her to the vet... Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Oh Goodness - a gooey eye. Sounds like an infection. If you take her to the vet, they'll give her some eye drops to clear it up. I'm not an expert on Rabbits, but my mum-in-law breeds them and we handle them from when they are only days old, and they are happy to be picked up and fussed a little. If she's not struggling I'd look at it as a sign that she is totally relaxed with you. Give the vet a call and see what they they say about that eye. she might be feeling a bit under the weather with it, hence her being docile. Let us know how you get on won't you.

thehallfamily Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Hi Well the vet said to bathe her eye and just be vigilant. luckily she was better the next morning or so, and is back to her bright bouncy self. Thanks Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
