@ALRyder little buns must be extra challenging! At least easy to scoop in your case. I have never heard of many bunnies liking to be picked up!

Thank you so much for your reply, this makes me feel much better!

Yes I think we moved to the living room too fast, and it probably wasn’t neutral enough.

They seem to be mirroring each other quite a bit now that they are living side by side in their pens, and we have been swapping the litters, hidey boxes and toys every couple of days.

I think…[Read more]

thank you for your reply. 

It was her 1st upper left molar that is temporarily missing and her 1st lower left molar that was burred down to the gum line.

It is the 2nd and 3rd lower left molars that are now in the very early stages of sparking so they do still have their upper partners to grind against, plus in the past week I have been really…[Read more]

I dont think rabbits need extra potassium. You wouldn’t be grinding stuff in the mortar anyway.

I think it could be difficult to clean, like LBJ says. A rough surface is always difficult to clean because the roughness vastly increases the surface area.

I have 2 water containers like on the picture. They hold 1.5 liter water each which makes them…[Read more]

I also found some flea medication specific for rabbits. I didn’t know you could give them medication intended for dogs and cats.

Ha, I love the mysterious and annoying rain. I don’t know why I didn’t think of the spray bottle. It seems like a no-brainer and I think I need a few around the house for the cats too. This is apparently an issue with my animals because one of my cats likes to go after a certain chair in particular with her claws and every time I get after her she…[Read more]

My mother-in-law built a small vegetable greenhouse on her balcony. She wants my bunny’s poop all the time, for fertilizer. But doesn’t know how to use it as fertilizer. You give information and the subject helped me a lot. Thanks 😊😊

Now that is funny and awful all at once. Reminds me of my grandparents buying a dog bowl filtration system for their dogs. Is there any way to do something like that?

Where I used to live the water was really hard. The animal’s water bowls would get a hard line of calcium no matter how often you cleaned them, and the water was terrible on my hair…[Read more]

Ah, I’m happy I’m not the only one with escaping bunny problems. Our new little one, Doodle, is so tiny she manages to escape from a particular hole in the extra-large dog kennel we’ve been using until I can bond her with our older rabbit, Snicker. I kept trying to block it but Doodle kept managing to get out about once a day. At least she’s easy…[Read more]

It seems like everyone has a different way of doing it. Though, from what I’ve read here and other sites the most popular ways seem to be dissolving it in water, adding it to compost, mixing it with potting soil, and using it as a topsoil. When I was reading more about mixing it with your potting soil, it said that this also helps with drainage.…[Read more]

Now that is really funny about the Netherland Dwarf in the garden. Hey, that could be a fun book title. I can just imagine the frustration, but at the same time, you’d only have yourself to blame for the bunny escape.

So, once a week I’ve started refilling my watering can with water and a handful of pellets. I then let it soak for a day or two.…[Read more]

I just found this on granite: “Additionally, studies have shown that granite dust, which gets into the ingredients pounded in a granite mortar and pestle, contains 5% potassium and has associated with it 16 minerals. Potassium aids the functions of the cells and different organs in our bodies.”…

Is extra potassium good or bad for rabbits?

He is 100% free roaming so no xpen, so that is not an option 🙁

And yes granite is porous and that’s why I am concerned about granite dust particles  in his water. It does not really harm us humans but could not find any reference to bunnies…

Maybe I should try a marble mortar? It is non-porous. It is just not as heavy (2 pounds/1kg)……[Read more]

@RabbitPam : Good job! I’m getting my second shot next week.

Louie is 4 months. I started to change his diet from only feeding him pellets to feeding him a few leaves of greens and Timothy hay. Nothing happened so that’s good. I didn’t give him treats until he was 3 months aswell. I actually am the one who’s more strict about giving him things because I don’t wanna hurt his tummy. It’s my sister and my mo…[Read more]

Don’t fret! It’s better to block things and prevent fights if you aren’t sure. As your confidence builds and you get a better sense of their behaviors, you will feel better about when to intervene and when not to.

But that’s great they accepted pets together, and sounds like the new housing set-up will help!
