beautiful bunnies!

anyone know a connection to BB store from Canada?  Every time I order something from the States, I get hit with an extra shipping from fed ex , (excluding BB as I have not ordered yet from them.)  I have tried hop on line but I have been waiting almost a week for a price to shipping.  I did not realize how difficult it is to get stuff from th…[Read more]

It’s normal for buns to scratch their eyes sometimes of course! 🙂

It doesnt look too bad to me, but it could still be fur mites. It could also be related to shedding, it’s not uncommon for buns to get some “dandruff” when they shed. I think I’d just keep an eye on it for now. You can brush the ears with a very soft baby brush to help him get rid…[Read more]

Thank you for your reply. Here is an image of Archie’s ear. It may also be worth noting he is sorta in between costs right now, and shedding daily. Maybe that has something to do with it? He does itch his watch from time to time (every 2-3 hours or so) but it hasn’t seemed excessive or damaging.

I had a bun who over a series of years ate a plastic cat toy, big chunks out of a hot water bottle and the rubber lip of a dustpan – among other things. Even if you think you bun proof everything, rabbits always find ways to get themselves into trouble 😨🐇

Ok thank you so much!

I have brought them inside (don’t worry there isn’t a big temperature change from their home outside) so that I can keep an eye on them and check they are eating and drinking and pooping ok

they eat veg so I will use your advice in order to try and get extra water in

thanks again, you have helped put my mind at ease a bit!

It would be very helpful to see some pictures. If you have trouble uploading pictures, PM me or another moderator and we’ll help!

“Scales” sounds a bit like it could be fur mites, even though they are more commonly found at the nape of the neck/ between the shouldblades our at the root of the tail. Rabbits can get reinfested with fur mites, or…[Read more]

If they only ate some of it, they will most likely be just fine. Keep a close eye on how much poop they produce and on their appetite. If they stop pooping or refuse to eat even their favorite food, you should contact a vet.

Rabbits chew what they eat because they cant swallow big chunks of stuff like dogs do. This is good because it makes it…[Read more]

Of you can in terms of space, finances and love then please do!

I understand, thanks

They often don’t like brooms because of the sweeping motion, it can trigger an aggressive response. If he hears you using the broom in another room it can trigger the same negative response just because he associates the noise with the broom. As long as the broom isn’t being used and moved around he probably just doesn’t care about it. I don’t…[Read more]

Interesting! That makes sense to me and merits exploration on what “uneven” looks like in the rabbit’s overall environment and exposure.

Oh, my bunnies will eat a lot more hay when it is in a pile in their box, but I give them hay in their rack too. If the hay rack holes are too small many buns won’t eat from them.

You can make a temporary hay-hopper with a paper bag or cardboard box, by cutting a hole near the bottom and attaching it to the side of the cage (large enough for a…[Read more]

@itslorie , what is your bunny’s flooring and housing situation like? Providing some soft fleece blankets and memory foam mats can help (provided your bun isn’t a chewer). 

@Wick, I’ve actually heard that providing some uneven textures can help take pressure off the heals. By that I mean some towels or blankets that are bunched up in irregular…[Read more]

I understand the dilemma (coming from the person that went from 2 to four because I apparently don’t have the will power to volunteer at a rescue because I end up wanting them all LOL).

If you feel like you can care for the bunny and can either keep him, or keep him long enough to appropriately rehome him, then I say go for it.

If your goal is a…[Read more]

Awww, what a gorgeous bun! It’s a very good sign that he/she flops when you’ve adopted them so recently. Light-coloured rabbits can look very messy when eating as well: if you’ve ever seen a bunny eating a raspberyy you’ll know what I’m talking about 😉
