Poor Tiggy

[FBTgirl]

My rabbit Tiger got her foot stuck in the nest box and when my mom freed her she had a big gash! We bandaged her up really good and I think she will be OK. I feel so bad for her. Now she has a bandaged lag and 5 babies!
what comes next...

 

[catherine896]

Aww, hope she will be OK.
Maybe take her to the vets?
Keep it clean with warm salty water, you dont want an infection setting in when she has babies.

Try and do something to prevent her becoming stuck again maybe?

 

[FBTgirl]

I do not think she will get stuck again...the only reason she got stuck was because my mom freaked her out when trying to get the nest box.

 

[WILDER]

I wouldn't disturb the mother leave her with her babies, she could kill them.
Glad the mothers ok.

 

[FBTgirl]

No tiggy babies...She has had past litters before and she is fine with us holding them. We bring all the babies out every 2 days to clean if they are dirty and stuff like that. We were taking her out to but more bedding in the nest box when she just jumped out and got her foot stuck

 

[grahamsokel]

You should take her to the vets.
You do have an awful lot of accidents and problems with your rabbits .they always seem to be either having babys or having accidents

 

[FBTgirl]

there always OK...By the way Lucky who got a horrible split in his lip has made a nice recovery.

 

[WILDER]

When I had rabbits I had my male rabbit bits done so they couldn't breed like rabbits.

 

[FBTgirl]

hmmm...what is "bits done"?

 

[WILDER]

Where the male can't get get female pregnant any longer, the female rabbits will live longer if there not giving birth all the time.

 

[FBTgirl]

Oh...

 

[K.J.]

You can neuter rabbits?

 

[FBTgirl]

ya...you did not know that?

 

[Betta_luver]

Usually its suggested to.

And if you find a good vet you can get hamsters, gerbils and even mice neutered

 

[K.J.]

Well, I don't own rabbits so... I was under the impression they bred so much because you couldn't get them fixed, silly me!
