Coroplast is pretty soft (relatively speaking), so they could chew it if they can access the edges.

What about a sheet of plywood with peel and stick tiles or a sheet of vinyl attached to it? Then some grass or paper mats on top?

While there may be the odd rabbit that it doesn’t agree with, I have found it to safe in my experience.

It is very very hard, so they aren’t actually eating a large amount of it at any given time. I also don’t give them 24/7  access to it (only while they are getting their exercise time). We gave it to buns at the rescue, and I’ve been giving it…[Read more]

Now I’m wondering if I can get my hands on some organic sunflowers for my buns. I think the farm we get our produce from grows them, maybe when they cut the flowers they could give us extra stalks? Hmmmmm

Oh no! Poor little spider babies, I hope they make it ok!

I love jumping spiders! What kind of housing set up do they need?

Some quiet gurgling is OK and normal. How close are you when you hear them? Like if you are petting bun and you hear them, that seems OK to me, but if you are across the room and hear them, then she could be a bit gassy.

I often give my buns a little gentle tummy rub when I hear gurgling just to be on the safe side.

Sounds like it could be fur mites? Most rabbits have fur mites but their immune system keeps them in check, but then sometimes they flair up.

Treated pretty easily with Revolution, just be sure never to use a product containing fipronil (frontline) on bunnies!

Great! Rabbits can be very clever when it comes to food. I had one who attempted to steal an entire bag of jellybeans. Caught him as he was dragging it across the floor to get it to “safety” 😱

She could have scratched her ears and caused the scabs?

Has she been vaccinated recently? Scabs on ears are a rare side effect of some of the vaccines.

Ear mites as you say occur on the insides of the ears. Fur mites can occur on the outside of the ears and look like dandruff. They can form scabs that are the same color as the skin and easier…[Read more]

If she is eating, drinking, pooping, and playing normally (all helpful health-indicators), then I wouldn’t be concerned. Gurgling tells you stuff is moving, which is good! One of my rabbits is particularly “gurgle-vocal”, while the other one is essentially silent. Just always review those health-indicators before drawing the conclusion that it’s…[Read more]

@Azerane : No, unfortunately not. They were sent on Teusday with 2-day shipping, but FedEx fudged up royally, they spent three days at one FedEx location not going anywhere. Then on Saturday morning they finally arrived at our local hub. The breeder had them upgrade the package for delivery since it was so delayed, so FedEx should have delivered…[Read more]

Not yet! my sunflowers are still growing haha the heatwave has made my dwarf sunflowers at least 6 feet tall now!  I am definitely going to try it though I still need to research how to dry them properly it should be fun
