Hi Ian

Me again, just wondering did Anna Sophia Gaia come from an englsih rabbit breeder, as she appears to be from show stock?

Hi Ian,

have you got your hamster yet?

Hi Ian, thanks for the reply. i do have a treatball and think i'll give your idea a go. my 2 don't always have the loose poos but it is fairly regular so definately think cutting down on both hard feeds and fresh fruit and veg is the way to go. unfortunately, no matter how hard i try to convince my husband, he always manages to give them a bit too much when it is his "turn" to feed them (usually at the weekends!) i may have to have another word with him! i think he too feels a little cruel only giving them a tiny bit but its best to avoid the tummy upsets i feel, they are such delicate little things!

thanks again for your tips.

Hi Ian, i have just seen your post in the section regarding "is pet food killing our pets" and wonder what feed routine you follow with your bunnies.

i have 2 bunnies that live in a large hutch in a pretty big shed in my garden. they have constant access to hay day and night. i feed a small handful of pellets and a small handful of mix in the morning with a few bits of fruit and then in the evening they get a bowl of mixed veg, herbs etc. i have terrible trouble getting my two to eat much hay and they often have quite loose droppings (not really runny but not particularly firm!) and i am sure that their diet is mostly responsible for this. any tips on getting them to eat more hay? i try not to feed too much of the hard fees and veg and i offer them at least 3 types of hay a day and have tried lots of different types!! little monkeys!

Hi Ian,

have a look on the British Rabbit Council website. There should be a list of forthcoming shows on there & I know they hold events nationwide so even if it was somewhere like Exeter for instance or Torquay, it would be in travelling distance for you.
I'm off to Stafford now & it's pouring with rain so looks like being a great weekend! Glad I'm not going to Glastonbury .........

Hi Ian,

I love your bunnies. It's a pity you're so far away because there's a huge rabbit show at Stafford Showground, just north of Birmingham, over the coming weekend. Will be heaven for all bunny lovers!
There will also be other small furries like hamsters, chinchillas, mice, cavies etc etc so should be a good event. I'll post some pics next week.

Thanks Ian - mentioning us on the relevant forums would be a huge help. Looking forward to see the pics of your snails.

Hi Ian - I was interested to read about your snails. It'd be great if you could do a page for them, and also consider a writing a giant snail factsheet for the Factsheet section. Another thing is your thoughts on getting the word out there to people about PetStreet. How did you find it and do you have any suggestions about that.
