Rabbit with potential problems
-
This rabbit has congenital incisor malocclusion. The upper and lower incisors will never meet or be functional. He also has a big fluffy coat that would be a problem for him to groom, even if his incisors were normal. Rabbits use their incisors like pincers to grasp dead hair and remove it from the fur. The rabbit also has spotted markings, which is linked with 'megacolon' syndrome although only a small proportion of them develop it. This rabbit is going to take a lot of care. and commitment to keep the area under his tail free from urine and uneaten caecotrophs. He will need regular grooming and trimming.

If rabbits with newborn babies are disturbed they may mutilate or even eat the young. This rabbit came from a breeder where no nest boxes were provided and baby rabbits were born in tiny cages. Both pinnae and one front leg have been chewed off.

Skirt
-
Rabbits were bred to produce fur coats and other garments so they have been selected to have a large amount of skin. This can cause problems. This rabbit's 'skirt' trailed on the ground and became sore and soiled with faeces and urine. It was surgically removed and he felt much better.
