Care sheets would be a good idea. At least you are giving them something in writing that they can look at. People have some really funny ideas about how to care for an animal. I encountered a dwarf hamster situation on Sat where they had the bedding in the cage six inches deep. When you think that a dwarfie is only 1 1/2 in tall how is the little creature supposed to move. I dropped the bedding depth to 1/2 in and the hamster started running on the wheel and running around the cage and generally showing energy.
I really hope she does the right things for Fred.
If you do get care sheets ready I would love it if you would post them on the forum. We could "sticky" the care sheet thread and people could look it up and it might help them to do the right things. I keep meaning to repost some of the hamster stuff....when I have time.
I haven't heard anything else from them. Not sure whether I should send another message to ask how he is as I don't want to sound like I'm hounding them, you know? He's their rabbit not mine (pity).
When I get a chance which will probably be once the kids are back at school, I will work on those care sheets.
