It’s funny because I would chop mine off too but my sister is a B cup and would do anything for big boobs🤣
My cousins are the same an I've always said if I could swap then I would 😅 I've fought with the doctors for years for a reduction but get told that because it's classed as cosmetic the NHS won't do anything even though I have genuine pains with mine

Has he been neutered? If not then it may well be hormonal changes. Rabbits also don't like change so he might just be letting you know that he doesn't approve of you getting rid of things!
Rabbits really should be bonded with another neutered bunny, they are sociable animals and are much happier in pairs as it allows for companionship, mutual grooming etc but I do understand that means the costs of everything doubles, if you do go for it then many rescues will do the bonding for you as it can be a stressful process which can take several weeks ( not always, some fall in love straight away!) but a rescue will be able to match your bunny with a suitable partner.
As for destruction try giving some natural chews such as hawthorn or apple branches, unsprayed obviously, stuff toilet rolls or brown paper bags with hay and forage, buy a treat dispenser designed to make them work for their nuggets so it takes longer to eat them and provides mental stimulation at the same time, they do love to dig so a box of soil or kids playsand is great but messy so maybe use outside or on a floor that can be swept, a cleaner option is shredded paper but long cut only as short cut is too dusty.
Supervised play only: make a little line out of string, hang it up and peg his greens on it so he has to work for them by stretching up a little.
They love tunnels and hidey places that have more than one entrance/exit and things they can jump on and off at different levels, Google Hop Inn rabbit hideaway, not cheap but will last, also if they still sell them IKEA dolls beds are hugely popular with bunnies!
Hope this helps 😊
Thanks I'll try some of those, he's neutered yes, but it was a must so his insurance covered it because he didn't mature properly so I only had to cover the excess, money is really why I can't get another, it's £200 to neuter but he's also incredibly aggressive (he will chase people around the house an bite, he also will attack my guinea pigs cage, he never goes in their cage because I know you can't have them together but he can see them through their pen) an I don't think he would take another rabbit plus I don't have the room to house another if this is the case an I'd feel like shit having to give it up, am hoping it was maybe because he wasn't happy losing his cage for his new pen despite his pen actually given him a ton more room, but I'll maybe get some play sand an try the treat thing, I've also never heard of the doll beds so I'll maybe get him one of those

Tbf he's the only one I've ever had that's been like this, I've had rabbits for years (mostly rescues) that like him couldn't be bonded due to having illness or being too aggressive to others, given the fact I get "groomed" then he seems to have a bond with me an he gets interacted with morning to night just about every day, am just a bit lost on whats the best chew toys as I've never had one this destructive before 😅

Anyone got destructive pets? What do you find the best toys are for them

This will seem stupid but I have a very destructive rabbit, he free roams during the day so around 8/9am to about 10/11pm an is supervised so I can keep a eye on him an he's ok

However I recently got rid of his cage which I used for nights when am sleeping an when am out, an changed it to panels to make a sort of pen so he could free roam the bedroom without supervision an not get into things

He now however seems hell bent on destroying absolutely everything, his bed that I've had since I got him got all the stuffing ripped out it an today the litter tray got thrown about, he has his box stuffed daily with hay an some chew things like those wooden balls, but am wondering if there's anything else I can get him that he will focus his chewing on that will last as his toys don't last long
It's years since I had a house bunny, but mine used to love the massive cardboard tubes you could get. They were specific pet ones, so he could eat and chew it without getting poorly. I think we used to get balls made from willow which were safe for him to munch on too.

Something fizzy, bicarb & vinegar or a fizzing mug cleaner.
The dishwashing powder would have covered those bases I feel like. Idk, am I wrong?

Do you have a steam cleaner with a fine nozzle? That might help blast it loose.
This is interesting, I’ll give it a try!

I would cook it up with dishwashing liquid and let it sit overnight. Which kind of dirt is it, do you know? I had that issue with avocado a lot that the dishes wouldn't get clean in the diswasher, soaking helped a lot.
I don’t know if you mean literally cook it, like boil? I’d have to invest in a completely scentless dish soap. This is not avocado ! I prefer chunky guacamole to smooth. But you could try adding a quarter teaspoon of dish liquid to your dishwasher. I’ve done it many times now to get rid of stuck grease. It works very well the one exception being the problem gasket 😂 it might be an actual alien substance 😅

Whilst it does seem like a scam, unless there is a formal syndicate style agreement with rules etc. I doubt action fraud or the police will be interested.

Best advice is for your dad to stop contributing and chalk it up as bad experience.

If however the residents are taking part that is 100% a safeguarding issue that needs escalating.
Tbh I don't think there is any formal agreements with this, there's been no paperwork an from what he's said it's bascially a hand over the money situation

Hate when people are being taken advantage of. Proper boils my piss! The best he can do is withdraw. Possibly raise with higher up managers owners as I bet whoever runs it will be raking it in ££££ 🤬
It angers me as well cause it literally is a piss take, am not sure if it's the mangers that's doing it or if they only know about it, unfortunately it's one of these places that if people kiss up to the managers then the managers turn a blind eye to whatever

What is in the other side of that wall? The moisture has to come from somewhere and usually it will have a cavity to prevent moisture coming from outside. Is the damp rising from the floor?
He said it is coming through the wall. Not rising damp. The other side of the wall is the outside lol

They’re going to put something on to stop it coming through. The wall was very cold

Got a damp problem in my hallway and up the stairs. Someone from a reputable company came to have a look and said they need to take the plaster off, put some layers of (insert damp proof jargon here) to stop the wall from being wet then replaster. The wall is also freezing cold at the moment, he said this will fix that problem. Has anyone had similar and had it fixed? Going to cost a bomb lol😓

What's the best freebie music site to use, I used to get apple music through my phone contract but since am not paying a tenner a month to occasional listen to music for a hour or two then I need to find another one

Out Deezer, Spotify an YT (it's the only ones I know) which one is the better with limited ads, I know I'll get ads if it's free but prefer to listen to at least a few songs before being hit with one an not have them after every single song

I also can't be bothered to download from YT onto my phone lol
This is a US company (where I live) but it is free and can’t hurt to see if it will work for you — https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-...ning-subscribers-only/6515312.p?skuId=6515312

I’m currently using their free subs for Apple TV+, music, and news before purchasing a discounted subscription through US Costco.

My taste was like this when I had covid
same! @Hastaggifted - do you feel okay otherwise? if you start getting a headache or similar i would recommend doing a test. a weird taste that i couldn’t get rid of (like you describe) was actually my first symptom of covid.

(i also have had it once or twice as part of a really bad hangover though!)

Does anyone know how long it takes to get blood results (Full Blood Count, Renal, Thyroid, Liver Function etc..)?

I got my blood drawn on Thursday morning but I haven’t hear anything yet. I’m a bit worried as I still have a lump on my neck that’s been there since late October. I don’t think it’s anything to be worried about but I’m anxious to get some answers as to why I’ve been feeling off.
Did you have the flu jab in October?

I had very similar when I had the flu jab (yeeeeeears ago) a lump came up on my neck and it was very prominent. I had the jab in October and the lump came up. I went to the doctors about it in the January because it got to the point I had to keep my hair down so you couldn’t see it. I had to go for a fine needle biopsy on it and it came back no risk, it was a lymphnode. They actually offered to remove it for me because theysaid it wouldn’t go down. I wasn’t sure I wanted that and they said I could think on it, so I said I would let them know, anyway, by two weeks following it had gone down. But by this point it was March I think, so it was a long time.

the reason I ask about the flu jab is because mine coincided with that and I think my lymphnode tried to fight the “infection” and came up it just never went. I have the same under my arm.

Question. My eldest when he lived here thought very charmingly how nice it'd be to bring bedbugs here. No matter what I try the evil little critters won't go (the bedbugs, not my son!!) Does anybody know any ways of getting rid of them barring complete fumigation of house which I really cannot afford.
Clean the mattresses with a stiff bristle brush and hoover. Then empty the hoover immediately! buy plastic bed covers that encompass the whole bed and leave on for a year. Hoover everything, and nuke all your laundry on the hottest wash they can handle.

Poor pooch isn't eating her dinner and has been bad at eating for a few days now. We travelled a lot in the car the last 3 days which makes her ill sometimes, and she had a course of antibiotics just before which made her nauseous as well.

I'm pretty sure she's thinking that food == feeling ill which is a bad bad thing. I feel so sorry for her and I will take her to the vet if she isn't eating by Tuesday - but how do I manage my anxiety over her being unwell? I'm sure it isn't helping 🙁
My old boy would get like this as well, they used to tell us they won't go past 3 days without eating, but if we wanted to help him then some boiled rice an cooked chicken would be best, even though he wouldn't touch his food he would scoff down rice an chicken

I hope she feels better soon ❤

I need advice asap please.

Our house has a shared stop tap with both neighbours, but we also have one in the cellar too. Neighbour has a leak and he’s turned our supply off. We’ve turned it back on and explained to him what he needs to do, but he’s gone back out and turned it off again. This has happened three times. We wonder if he has dementia and he is forgetting what we’ve told him. We obviously can’t go without water all day/night. What on Earth do we do?

ETA: he won’t let anybody in his house to take a look either.
Does he seem he might have dementia? or like he might be doing it out of spite? Is there a water company you can report it too? If he does have dementia then you might need to report it to the water company an let them know your neighbour is turning it off because he has a leak an you feel it's because you think he may have dementia, perhaps they can deal more with it because really the leak should be getting fixed an your neighbour might not be getting anyone out to it

He could be a manipulator and abusing her but also, he might not be. Maybe she sees something in him that others haven't yet.

You say more than likely drugs. Do you know this for certain?

I definitely appreciate you don't feel comfortable having in your home so that is not an option. That's your safe space so you can't have anyone there that makes you feel the opposite.

I would urge caution. Lots of young people have difficult relationships with their parents. It doesn't mean he's an awful person (equally he could be but it's important to keep an open mind).

You need to keep lines of communication open otherwise I worry your daughter will shut off. You're in a really hard situation. Can they stay at a hostel? At least it's a roof. You can help by providing food etc rather than actual cash if you're worried what it would be spent on.
They are looking into hostels and have been getting help , it’s all such a worry 😞 thank you 😊

I want to start volunteering. I have the spare time and I would like to find something that lets me give back. I have a couple ideas of my own but I would really appreciate recommendations.
Age UK and The Cinnamon Trust. I volunteer with them. Or you could look for a smaller more local charity

Does anyone know how to see a skincare specialist without going to GP? Never been formally diagnosed with rosacea but pretty sure I have it.
It was about 10 years ago but I contacted a dermatologist via a local private hospital and was able to just make an appointment. It was £120.
