Rabbits can eat bell peppers. Not all rabbits want to though. Wash the bell peppers carefully to remove pesticide residue, remove stem, core and seeds and obviously feed in moderation.
The House Rabbit Society has bell peppers on their Safe Veg-list.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Overgrown tooth? in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years, 8 months ago
If you’re able to see a single tooth that easily outside the mouth with only slight parting the lips, that likely does indicate something is wrong– usually it’s nicely lined up top incisors. Contacting the vet was the right move.
There is no way to diagnose what’s going on based on the photo. Rabbit teeth continuously grow, so one thought is…[Read more]

Today we noticed our bunny’s front teeth may be overgrown? This is the best pic I could get. I can only see the tooth when I pull back a bit on her face. I emailed our vet and am trying to get her in tomorrow but would love to know what we are dealing with.
Thanks!

I agree with the others she probably just needs time.
I have an anecdote that might be reassuring for you, when I first got my boy at the tiny age of 9 weeks he spent the first month or two in the corner of the room I was quite sad he didn’t really come out, although he enjoyed fuss in his safe corner. He explored more and more bit by bit. Flash…[Read more]

I’m gonna try to keep this shorter, I found out recently that people don’t give their rabbits bell peppers every day (for what reason I don’t know) but some people have said that they give their buns peppers everyday and some say never to feed them peppers. I fed my buns bell peppers before and they loved them but did I do something bad by…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic How to get rabbit to explore the house ? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 8 months ago
Rabbits are curious and like to explore, but they will only explore from a spot where they feel safe and secure. It’s good to arrange several safe spots around the area that the bun has access too.
Safe spots can be an upside-down csrdboard box with two doorholes, a tunnel (crinkly or plastic or cardboard), a low table or a chair. Rabbits feel…[Read more]

Please don’t be hard on yourself. I don’t think you need to be concerned. EveryBun has a different personality. My oldest bun, we’ve been together for over 10 years and he still won’t let me pet him unless forced, held in arms, and he obviously doesn’t like. He shows his love through tons of nose bumps. I’ve had 7 or so rescue buns throughout the…[Read more]

This is a bit long so sorry in advance, but I’ve had two big concerns about my bun for a while and I don’t know how to handle them as a first time bunny mom….
I’ve had my bunny Henry for almost a year now and he’s very sweet but still very timid. I was hoping that after a while he would get more comfortable around me and he has to some extent.…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Any way to discourage jumping? in the forum BEHAVIOR 2 years, 8 months ago
Also doing what you can to make the ground most interesting, such as putting toys and such around, can keep them more grounded!

Thank you 😀 !! I will try placing more sheets on the floor with one of her hideouts for her to feel more comfortable and definitely try encourage movement with pellets as she will go wherever her food is which is how i got her to move around the living room lol

I have a bun who can be extremely timid. In order for him to go anywhere new, I would have to pick him up and take him. Once there, he’ll feel confident there and going there on his own. So, I had to literally take him to every room. He has friends so if his friends go to a new area, he will follow too. Left to his own accord in a new place, he…[Read more]

if you just leave the door open, I’m sure that your bun will go into the kitchen when she gets more confident/comfortable

I honestly dont think you need to worry one bit about this. She will explore the house given time.
Baby buns (your bun is still very young) will leave their home burrow little by little. European rabbits (the species our house buns belong to, oryctolagos cuniculi) are born underground, and spend their first 8 weeks in close contact with their…[Read more]

Hi, this is my first post here and only joined just to ask this lol.
I have a 12 week old bunny, who i’ve had since she was 8 weeks. She has a room to herself where she was constantly kept the first 2 weeks I got her. This room leads to the kitchen which i’ve tried leading her to with treats but she doesn’t want to step a single foot on the floor…[Read more]

Thank you! I’ll definitely look into those. I do currently give her the oxbow joint supposed she loves those. The Luma Soothe sounds interesting and I’ll look into it for sure.
