They look like they are rather enjoying that bath b_m!

I get the vets to double check any baby bunnies now, I still have no idea what a baby doe's bits look like as we have never had one (before 10 weeks) so I have nothing to compare the bucks against!

You've got to stop doing that, I haven't got room for any more so it makes me want to get the clippers out on mine :mad: I'd have to knit them little jumpers (not that they'd stay on long!) :D

Also getting them to wear a harness is a real pain...except my girls that i got from someone on the forum they dont move when u hold them, they are quite nervous and prefer to sit still which is nice until they dont tell u when they want a wee...i tend to have to guess:gag:

I tried that with mine during her mites treatment, she was scratching herself until she bled.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Less than a second that sock lasted once she got into the flippin cage. It had leg holes and everything.

Mine are a little pair of monkeys.

Try elasticated bandage next time twiglet, its a little tighter and harder to get off

These are so cute! Ive never seen a hairless one before. I owned an albino guinea pig as a child and she was a very sweet little pet. I used to love the noise they made. Sort of "ooooooeeeekk"!
