Felix's 1st outing!

Just to let you all know, Felix is officially a little boy!! Not for long though.
Had our vet check him out today and they all fell in love with him. Was well worth taking him too as picked up a few valuable pointers from our vet!
Sad thing is I have booked him in for his first lot of jabs, just wondering if he will still be my friend after the next trip out!
Can anyone tell me is it normal for the buns to get 2 x Myxs jabs a year and the vet said he gets another 2 jabs seperate from the Myxs ones but cant remember what he said they were for????

I am now reading the 3rd rabbit book so that I can get to know hopefully everything to keep him happy. Hubby thinks I will read anything, and yes he would be right.

I was a little worried yesterday as he went out in his run and it started raining. After reading a couple of posts on here, and seeing how some of the other buns love the rain I thought I would leave him out but put a plastic cover on half of the cage and see what he does. Well its safe to say, he too loves being out in the rain! He kept running in and out from the cover and then took to playing with his ball in the rain. I brought him in and dried him off a little before he went off to bed for the night. Am now pestering hubby to get a move on and make his proper run so that he can come and go as he pleases.

Well thats all for today, still not got the pictures yet from my nephews girlfriend, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks for all the advice the other day xxxxx wishing everyone a nice warm weekend as the temps are set to go higher than this weekend!!!!!

Love Alex and Felix xxxxxx

Hi Alex,

Yes, it's recommended for buns to have a myxi jab every 6 months. The other vaccination they get is for VHD - Viral Haemorrhagic Disease. They only need this once a year though, and usually get it 2 weeks after one of the myxi jabs.

There's info on the vaccinations in the Rabbit Care section of the forum (under Rabbit Care Articles and Useful Links).

I used to have bunnies that would sit out in the rain too - they never seemed to mind getting wet!

I've got bunnies that sit out in the rain too!, it use to worry me at first but so long as they have somewhere to shelter if they need it then they will be fine.

Glad he's settling in well Alex, and that you've got him booked for jabe etc. He'll be fine with you I'm sure

Aw Alex, I am sure he will get over the trips to the vets. Well done you, sounds like you are doing a fantastic job with him

Briony likes the rain but connie dosn't like getting her little paws wet
glad that felix is settling in ok

Mine have an older carrier that they sit in if the rain gets too heavy, but generally they just go out in it and snow - they were out in minus 10 this winter in the snow. As long as they have somewhere to go if they want, it is fine. Their fur is designed to keep them really warm and it very thick once they are acclimatised.
