It was the same with our rabbit: he’d ignore the rack. We’ve bought a wooden hay tower for him, which has larger spaces between the bars. He did a bit of bunny engineering and chewed the lower bars so it’s even easier for him.

We also give hay in the litter box because he likes to snack while doing his business. We roll the hay up a bit and stack…[Read more]

Just to note, if you have access to a rabbit experienced vet, 3lb is not too small to neuter safely. My rabbit is 2.5lb at full size, and he was neutered when he was at 2lb.

Thank you so much! I will definitely try rose petals because I heard those are popular and good for your bun to eat more hay.

I’m sorry you have to leave your bun!

If she has a great relationship with your mum and brother, I think she’ll be fine. The hours they spend away from home are the hours when most buns are resting anyway.

Since she is 4 months old, she is about to enter into puberty, which means your mother and brother will perhaps see some behavioral changes…[Read more]

Wonderful, thank you Bunnytowne! 😃

Haha I know what you mean. Didn’t know you could request them though! I’ll definitely look into that for them. And newspapers are safe too? I’ve read about newspapers that use safe ink but how do you know if your local phonebook or newspaper does? Tried looking it up and found nothing helpful.

What you’ve described is what I already made for them…[Read more]

So you binder clip them to the xpen, and then stuff them in something so they can dig it out? What if they chew on it? They seem to spit out the pieces but I’m not sure if they spit out all of the pieces, which worries me. But I really think your idea is something they would both really love!

I did the grass in the hidey hole and Bunbun loved i…[Read more]

Thanks for responding! I’ve tried a cardboard scratcher that’s like a ramp. They hop on it for a minute but never chew or dig at it and I’ve tried to convince them to.

Will definitely look into the palm plates!

I used heavy plastic bins on the outside of the pen to keep it from moving but they still manage to scratch and get enough up to chew in…[Read more]

Evet, I’m dealing with a new problem now. I bought a cat toilet for my rabbit to eat hay comfortably. Now it eats more hay. But my bunny started to pee in. I had a hanger but its hard to eat from it. What do you recommend me? If I hang the hay it eats less.

Evet, you remember correctly. But my bunny is small breed. It 3lb weight. Do you think it is ok? Should I change it?

@aeri: Oh, you’re right about the phone books… I had a dinosaur moment there 😳 Those things used to be everywhere, and now you have to request them if you want one. They were great bunny playthings, and great monitor stands as well 😉

Pet shops sell paper nesting material for hamsters, that can also do the trick. Maybe they’ll be more…[Read more]

Comb ordered, thanks.

As for pellet bedding, sounds great but isn’t it “slippy” and hard (ie… uncomfortable??)…

Perhaps adding a ‘dog bed’ style “sleeper”…  I’ve seen these, just wondered if they just pee in them.

He is such a mellow boy.  Had him out, some brushing with my old cat brush.  Baby bug, Kylee, 10 1/2 month old Pug was sn…[Read more]

Way to go! Especially nice to educate people as we approach Easter. 🙂

My diggers have all really liked cardboard cat scratchers, especially the ones that are different shapes.

Not digging specific, but my buns also all really like palm plates (if you search organic palm plate you will get some options).

I also use heavy ceramic tiles to block the spots of rugs they obsess over, especially along edge or corners.

Agree about the hair buster comb!

You could try pine pellets or paper pellets, and use a screen in his litter box. That would keep the shavings away from his fur.

It doesn’t look like mold to me, but it’s hard to tell from the picture.

Do you have any idea what ingredient in the pellets was causing the problem? Unfortunately, a lot of supplements have similar ingredients in them.
