I’m trying to add a picture but there is a problem. Let me share the picture link.

Thank you so much for this!!

We’d actually been thinking of using the living room and my plan was the keep Monkey out of it this week and do a full clean. She’s only ever in there when supervised, so it’s the most communal room in the apartment. I was thinking to put two pens in there, then let them out onto the balcony in turns for exercise.

I know cat litter is poisonous to rabbits. I am using it, actually i am satisfied. But sometimes shifts the shavings as my bunny jump. I’m afraid of using cat products. I can’t add a picture.. I wanted to show the product i use. You can search on Google by typing in Turkish “kemirgen talaşı”

Of course you did a good thing! Unfortunately, that is just what the laws are in some states. There may be some vets that are willing to look the other way. The trick will be finding one. It sounds like you might have a lead, so that’s good.

Yes. Thanks for the responses. That is the tough situation I’m dealing with. I’m not sure it is legal in my state to have a wild cottontail. I’m not worried about “breaking the law” though. I didn’t go looking to take in a wild animal. She needed us and we did the loving thing for her. If that is a crime, so be it…. As I said in my original…[Read more]

I’ll second the homemade insecticidal soap.  But you have to apply it when you see the bugdy, usually in the evening.

As for slugs, leave out a pie plate filled with beer.

He’ll just be sore. He’s had invasive surgery, things will be bruised and sore, not to mention the cut at the surgery site. Give him a week and he’ll probably be back to normal 🙂 I’d say it would hurt to stretch out that way.

Yes, it matters where you live. Many states do not allow wildlife to be kept as pets, including cottontails. Some other states do allow it… but these are the states that pretty much allow people to keep all kinds of exotic animals as well.

I’m going to agree with Dana. He may not be getting enough. He’s only 6 months old, so (as a dwarf breed) he should just be reaching his adult size. Then he should continue to “fill out” between 6 and 9 months or so. Are they adult pellets or a junior formula?

In many states they aren’t legal to keep as pets so you may have trouble finding a vet willing to treat. In which case if she does need medical care, handing over to a rescue is really in her best interest so that she can get the treatment she needs. I’m not sure if they would release her due to how long she been in human care. If they did release…[Read more]

I heard it had made it to Montana. Georgia is still a long way away. You think it will spread that fast? I hope not! I did notice a pin on the map in Florida though, but it appears to not be linked to wild rabbits in that case. Still… that’s scary.

It’s good to be proactive. I know there are efforts to get an American-made vaccine, but it probably won’t be for some time.

The ladybugs sound promising, glad you were able to find some! For more of a “broad-spectrum” insecticide, I agree with the suggestions below for diatomaceous earth. That would probably be better than some of the other…[Read more]

I’ll keep that in mind, thank you! Definitely don’t want my baby going in to stasis

Brilliant, I believe the slugs/snails doing the most damage but I haven’t transplanted anything yet and I have a new raised bed that I have yet to fill with soil, the tent idea will work with this beautifully…

Also, I was in a gardening forum and found out I can adhere cooper foil tape around the edge of the planter and the containers on my…[Read more]

I found a local for lady bugs right town, thank you!

I would like to know how to keep my rabbit from biting. She breaks the skin and if I try to guide her away she just lunges at me and sometimes will continue to do so even if I make a noise like it hurts. She will even chase me around sometimes. I’ve had her since she was a baby and when she got older she got mean, never had I ever heard a rabbit…[Read more]
