I never realized rabbits were such complicated creatures. The vets were shocked when we turned up with Percy this morning. We had told them he was a baby giant rabbit but they were expecting a furry animal weighing in at @ 2 kgs so when they saw the size of him and he tipped the scales at over 5 kgs...

Well I typed that wrong, anyone spot the "deliberate" mistake?? ........ For "blinky" read "binky", sorry about that!

So a question to all the rabbit owners out there.......... Do you know what a "binky" is?? No? well nor did I until today when I came across the word on a rabbit information site. A ‘binky’ is a rabbits expression of joy. This is where they can run, jump up and twist their body and flick t...

So thank you for everyone who takes the time to answer so many queries, you just never know when you might need that scrap of information you read months before I would like to second what KathJ has said, reading through peoples posts and diaries I have learnt more facts from peoples experiences th...

The previous Jason Bourne films have all been enjoyable to watch and hopefully the latest one will also be even though many critics have only rated it as average. We are waiting on the new Ghostbusters film at present but we have seen Tarzan and (surprisingly) thoroughly enjoyed it. We watched "...

Just done a search on Amazon and found you can still buy Jacks and Jack Straws so will be placing an order for my partner to bring them back on her next trip to England, they should help pass a few hours during the cold winter months.

Okay then I have learnt a couple of things today: Firstly.................we have noticed Percy rubbing his chin on various objects over these last weeks and it transpires that rabbits have a scent gland there so he has been "scenting" all these objects. Secondly...............never stand ...

I will be honest here and say that I am not a film fanatic in fact before moving abroad I had never owned a TV let alone a dvd/blu-ray player, but my Better Half has always enjoyed her dvd's and now her "digitally downloaded" films (that sounds posh doesn't it!), so I thought a thread to n...

Percy is booked in to be neutered next Thursday. In the evening he has taken to stretching out relaxing on the window sill (which he now fills) but we have to ensure that the petchka room door is shut or he will fry himself on the UPS battery as he loves investigating things. We left the door open t...

It is always pleasing to hear when an animal has been rescued and given a better life, I hope albertajune you have many more enjoyable years together. As for people involved with puppy farms and registered breeders that over breed I wish there was an easy way to stop them as in every country I have ...

After the corn is stripped off the cobs we then dry the cobs in the sun and use them as firelighters during the winter months, a tip received from our Bulgarian neighbours, saves on buying firelighters

Similar to what Wendy has said, we had a kangal and he used to bolt his food so to slow him down we put a tennis ball in his bowl so he had to nose it around when eating.

How many have started crowing? Are you any more certain? The crowing or should I say "attempted" crowing started today and the culprit was.....................Ginger, nothing from any of the others yet but one of the hens our neighbours gave us that looks a dead ringer for Ginger and has ...

Task completed with much laughter and a lot of clucking (is that the right word?) and all clean at present but a few embarrassed chickens Fed them some corn after stripping the corn cobs we collected today, they loved it. Is it okay to feed them a lot of this or should it be given in limited quantit...

However, in our garden it's more like.......pick one......chickens jump up and steal it............eat one (if you're lucky).....pick one.......chickens jump up and steal it etc. etc. etc. A sight I would enjoy seeing!! Here our fruit and vegetable patch is fenced off so our feathery critters canno...
