So it is important that you provide plenty of things for them to rip up when they want to– that drive to chew/dig is not going change, so it is the responsibility of us rabbit owners to provide each rabbit with as much stimulation as their energy level seems to require. If yours are higher on the spectrum of destruction, you need to get more toys…[Read more]

Thank you for the idea. I found a loop pile carpet tiles. Do you think that they would be able to tear this up? They are very dedicated to ripping thing apart, and have done so to all of the things possible to rip up, books, their beds, fleece, my medium pile carpet, bedsheet, purses, wires, curtains, harnesses, leashes, brushes, litter boxes, my…[Read more]

Both the buns and the dog will know of each other’s presence, because both species have a far, far more acute sense of smell than humans. Since the dog is a pup, she’ll likely more or less just accept the situation as it is. That’s how dogs have come to be man’s best friend, going back sth like 40 000 years or so -dogs accept what the hoomin says…[Read more]

You can try low-pile carpet squares, which are typically easy to find in hardware stores! They usually have a rubbery-backing, so they will stay firm on top of coroplast/vinyl without needing to tape them down or anything.

If you want the baby boy rabbit I would start with pre bonding like said, but I would wait until he is neutered. ( after he is neutered you need to wait a month of you could end up with baby bunnies) I would do this to make sure the bond is lifetime.

It is normal for bunnies to be scared of rabbits, they are prey animals. Just take it slow and it would most likely turn out great. My first bunny had no fear of anything, she wanted to be friends with the dog. My other rabbits though was like hell no. He know though is ok with the dog after some time, it just takes time.

He is all good thankfully, he had me really worried. My other rabbit cinnimon has a steel stomach, but I didn’t know if he would because he is my new bunny. My other bunny cinnimon has eat carpet, curtains, beads, beds, and more. She jumps up on my bed to get them, there is no stopping her is seems. Thanks for your guys help.

I’m sorry no one has responded to this!

I haven’t heard of anyone trying anything like this. My gut tells me that a neck brace probably isn’t a great idea. I know there are those “soft” collars meant to keep a bun from messing with sutures, but I think that would also prevent them from eating their cecals and might just be very stressful for…[Read more]

I’m sorry no one responded to this!

How is your bunny doing now?

I’m sorry no one responded to this!

I’m sorry no one responded to this! I haven’t tried this myself but sunflower stalks are safe for bunnies!

Did you end up trying it out?

I’m glad she seems to be feeling better!

My guess would be that it could be more related to heat stress than ammonia build up. I think sometimes having multiple warm days in a row can really take its toll on a rabbit, so you might not see the effects until later. Usually when temps get above 80 F it can be stressful on the bun, so even if she has…[Read more]

Hmmm I haven’t encountered this issue! Do you know if they came from a particular bag of hay?

I have used food grade diatomaceous earth for insects (ants and fleas) around my home and it is safe for use around rabbits, as long as they aren’t breathing the dust.

I wonder if you could remove all the hay you currently have, put bun in a carrier for…[Read more]

That’s wonderful!! And good job to you! I think fostering is so great for rabbits like Abi, because the foster home can really give the adopter a better idea of what the rabbit will be like in a home environment (rather than the shelter).

I’m originally from the central valley in CA, so I know what you mean about vets and 4H etc.

$400 for a spay isn’t too unreasonable for a complicated spay, but of course $250 would be nicer.

At any rate, hopefully things will get easier when she’s a bit older.

I’m glad he seems to be OK. If he still isn’t eating normally though I would have the vet check him out.

Some rabbits just can’t have fabric in their pens. Grass or paper mats are a safe option.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁  I have noticed that sometimes a serious issue will present like something treatable, and then suddenly the rabbit will crash. It is so devastating, especially in a young rabbit (I lost my bun Moose when he was only a year very suddenly, after we had had him for only about 5 months).

I understand not wanting to get…[Read more]
