There’s actually a rabbit rescue in my area and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a spayed or neutered rabbit there. I got one of mine there and had to have him neutered on my own and it wasn’t a requirement of the adoption. It would be better if they were fixed but I don’t think that’s a universal with rabbits apparently.

Bam replied to the topic is she playing or being aggressive in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 3 months ago
I fully agree with LBJ. The behaviors you describe are hormonally driven. They’re neither aggressive nor playful. What I can say is that there’s no malice in it.
Wild rabbits live short lives. They are important as prey in the food chain. This means they need to procreate (have babies) as quickly as they possivly can, for the species to…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Sore hock! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 3 months ago
If the sore is open and wet, the bun might need systemic (oral) antibiotics. This is important, because infection can lead to bone degradation if it’s not properly treated. For this reason, open sore hocks require vet attention.
My rabbit had sore hocks after a long bout of GI problems. When he recovered and regained his energy and lust for life,…[Read more]

Is she spayed? What you’re describing sounds like hormonal behavior to me.

Wow! What an experience 😂😬😬😂 My former bun Masha used to only drink a certain water brand (I forget which one), and if we *dared* to give her tap, she would throw her bowl across her cage 😂. Bunnies truly are funny little furballs. Gotta love ’em! ❤️❤️❤️

Yep, bunnies love willow. Just make sure it isn’t treated with chemicals if you’re collecting it outside.

Most rabbit rescues and shelters that have rabbits are pretty far and due to the restrictions where I live in not sure that I’m actually allowed to go to one

The whole one will live out the other thing is what I am most worried about. I have been looking for older rabbits for months and I haven’t had much luck.
Most of the rabbit breeders in my area are rabbits that are more livestock than pets and they are often large breeds. I’ve been looking for a small or dwarf rabbit so it could be more olafs size

I’m unsure what resources/accessibility you have in your area, but if it’s a Craigslist like resource, perhaps try searching for rabbits that are being “rehomed” or “needs a new home”. Breeders and others will advertise younger rabbits of course. If you want a rabbit that’s older, it may come from someone giving up their rabbit for one reason or…[Read more]

My rabbit had sore hock a few years ago. I caught it before it got terrible so it healed up nicely.
Make sure the flooring is soft and comfortable. Foam flooring/foam puzzle pieces with fleece blankets help a bunch. I wrapped his foot in vet wrap and put a little bit of cotton in there. It made a slipper kind of thing. My rabbit chewed it off…[Read more]
