Rabbit with broken leg
6 Answers
I have a bunny with a broken leg and therefore she is confined to the hutch (something scared her in the garden and she skidded on the patio). Has anyone got any good ideas of things I can give her to stop her getting so bored. She is trashing the hutch and shredding paper by the tonne. She is generally very spoilt and does have a mate.

Try parrot toys that can be tossed, or hung from the top of the cage and chewed or hit or baby toys: hard plastic (not teething) toys like rattles and keys, things that can be tossed. Big thick carpet tubes that can be chewed or crawled into, or even a radio to listen to. Rabbits are very sociable and get bored/depressed very easily.
Ladybirder - Sugar bunny has had her back leg in a splint, wrapped in padding and bandage, for the last 4 weeks. It has fallen off several times so I am not sure how well it is going to have fixed. She is having another xray tomorrow, so we will know more. It was a nasty break and I am sure, at best, she will be left with a nasty limp. If it hasn't knitted together, the vets have talked of amputation (not an option, too unkind, she would have to be put down). Thank you for your concern, I will let you know how it goes.
