Any Rabbit advice ?

Thanks everyone. The Vets is a good idea. I shall pop in as there is a notice board now I think about it.

We don't know any teenagers! My in-laws look after our rabbits while we are away, but they will be away for a few days when we are away. We don't know our neighbours too well, but one did offer to help. But I really don't like to ask as it's quite a responsibility and its not simply feeding, but cleaning out too.

We have a local country park that looks after peoples rabbits while they are away, maybe you have something like that near you? The kind of place that has different animals, kids indoor and outdoor play area etc. We went to look at the rabbits and there was a sign about it.

Where do you live? Arround my area there are a couple of rabbit hotels. I prefer that to giving some stranger a key to my house.

The Bunny Camp takes in bunnies from all over the south of England http://thebunnycamp.co.uk/ (might be too far for you to travel though?).

The bunny camp looks good.

I've had real trouble find people to look after my house rabbits. I initially used the inlaws but thats a 4 hour round trip and the Bunnies don't really like that. Then I used a local lady who kept them in her conservatory. I stopped using her after she told me her rabbit had been ripped apart by all the dogs she boards. Then I used another local cattery that had a run for use but I felt the hutches were a bit small so I didn't use them again.

Since then I've discovered Wiggies in Stroud. http://www.wiggiesholidaysforpets.co.uk/
The owner is fantastic and really looks after the bunnies. Plus she lets you cuddle the other boarders and her own rabbits when you drop yours off and pick them up.

I've also used http://www.rabbitguardianangels.co.uk/ who were good as well

I use suparabbit excel, but my bunnies prefer BEAPHAR XTRA VITAL CARE PLUS Rabbit. My little boy goes mental if I don't give him a handful of Care+ at each feed. But it is pricey. £7 per 1.5kg bag.

Don't know about bulk buying though.

i get my guinea pig food from the local vets, but i buy it from the large animals section. (Rabbits can eat piggie food but not the other way around). I also buy bales of sawdust for their hutches at the same time, but it's marketed for horses so is much cheaper. You probably already do this but do you use shredded paper for their bedding it's cheap and better than straw which they say scratches eyes etc.

I was just looking at pet-supermarket.co, I haven't tried them yet but they do free delivery for orders over £29 i think, there's also 5% off thru voucher heaven
