Well I have the rabbits in a colony now, and when the babies were about 3 1/2 weeks old, a friend of mine gave me a little (I mean it was TINY) bunny pen that she had when she had her rabbits. So I decided that it was time to move the babies into the colony in the little pen. Well, just a few hours later, a couple of them had figured out that they could just hop over it.
So we have this big cage that we cut the bottom off of because it was super rusty, and I put that over the pen. Well we came home from somewhere and one of my mini lop mix does had escaped, so I went to get her back in, and I realized that the kit had gotten out. A couple of days later, I noticed a little brown feather hanging from his side (a bit of his fur), and I kinda felt a scab, so I moved his fur so I could get a better look at it, and accidentally opened the wound. I should have gotten pictures, but I didnt.
I kept him in for a couple of days, and he seemed perfectly normal, like nothing had happened, and it had scabbed, so I decided to put him back out. Today when I picked him up to check on it, kind of near his elbow, it felt kind of squishy, so I pressed it, and pus came out. It was about the consistency of thick glue. I opened the wound, cleaned it out as best I could, and sprayed vetericyn on it twice. He totally acts fine. I keep the kits in a bigger pen in the colony that looks like 5 baby gates hooked together (so you know what I'm talking about) but I have all 7 in the cage in my room because it's supposed to rain and I don't know what else to do with them until we put a roof on the colony.
