Text Box: The rabbit came from the bushes that were growing behind the gardening shed and went slowly, carefully under the willow. He stopped, looked all around him, probably a little worried and then seemed to eat some things in the grass. He was a very common rabbit, brown pelt, big ears, like any other rabbit, but Maximilien was convinced from then on that the light in his dark and round eyes had something to do with intelligence.

REMEDIES FOR RABBITS

This page is dedicated to four very special rabbits, Susie, Snowy, Wiggy and Ziggy and 3 baby rabbits that I only got to know for the first few months of their lives.  

 

Susie and Snowy provided me with my first experiences of caring for a pet and, thanks to my dad, I learned from an early age that animals not only need our constant care and consideration but also deserve our love and respect.

 

 

My first experience of rabbits was as an 11-year old child.  I had wanted a rabbit for so long and, one day I arrived home from school to see a hutch in the back garden.  I was overjoyed when I realised that there was actually a rabbit inside it.  It was a dutch rabbit who I named “Susie”.  I went on to have another white rabbit who I aptly and predictably named “Snowy”.  When these two bunnies left for bunny heaven I was totally inconsolable, so much so in fact, that I wasn’t allowed to have another one!

 

Later on when I got married and had a home of my own, I acquired two more rabbits Wiggy and Ziggy.  These rabbits were also much loved and although Wiggy had “the snip” they still managed to produce three little baby rabbits.  Once more, despite that fact that I was “all grown up”, there were many, many tears when the time came for each of them to depart this life.  I have always loved rabbits and now as a Bach Practitioner for Animals my aim will be to help some unhappy rabbits, become a little happier.

 

When I started learning more about rabbits in order to complete my animal practitioner training I was surprised and upset to learn that many, many rabbits end up in rescue centres because of problem behaviour.  Rabbits like all other animals need to act out normal behaviours.  When a rabbit’s instinctive needs are not met this can result in behavioural problems. 

 

Rabbits just like any other animal are a product of their breed, environment and early experiences and all of these issues need to be considered when looking into a case.
