share the garden. Some of the advice I've had suggests that Mallow is
at risk of ovarian(?) cancer if she isn't spayed, but the risk of this
reduces greatly if she is allowed to have a litter.

2 days ago I posted about Scooter's broken toes and the vet's plan for a
cast and e-collar.  I thought I'd keep writing in to document the difficulty
of dealing with Scooter's collar in the long-term.

Not quite sure what happened at the weekend, but we now have two
hutches in the garden and a new arrival. My 2 year old dwarf lop Poca

BLESSING OF THE BUNNIES and Pet Liturgy with Pastor Jim Stickney in remembrance
of St. Francis of Assisi's love for all creatures. Fluffy needs no religious
affiliation in order to receive this special blessing, but she must be in a
carrier. You do not need a bunny in order to ...

I'm not sure, but, I think that Oreo drops too many Cecotropes.  He
always leaves several cecals in his cage daily.  How many is too many?
I would say on an average day, I notice up to 5 or 6 cecals in his
