They passed something like that in my old county as well, where pet stores could no longer sell rabbits.

I think it was for the best overall, but unfortunately it just meant more breeders in the area. Then during the initial phases of covid when the shelter was closed to the public, everyone turned to the breeders. Then down the road we had a lot…[Read more]

That’s too bad about the scratchers. I would still give the tiles a shot, you can get the ceramic ones that are about 1 ‘ x 1’, and just lay them all along the carpet edge. I’ve never had a bun move them, even the very persistent ones, because they can’t really get a grip on them.

Yes, based off how it looked in the picture, and based on the fact that you are having issues with peeing outside the box. Those corner boxes are too small for even dwarf breeds of bunnies.

Thats so true. Easter is bad for bunnies. The pet store down the road. On an election ballot people could vote to an selling of animals in pet store. It went thru.  Now in the neighboring city Melbourne they can still sell live animals.

@Wick sorry to keep @‘ing you! i ordered the grids for my bun’s cage and I think I’m set on an action plan.

I work at a hardware store (not a big one so no carpet or plastics) but we do get cardboard in with our big items that I can cut to size. So I was thinking I can cut the cardboard to be the base and perhaps get the dry mate whelping liner…[Read more]

Thank you. You both sound sweet. Its funny how Brientje climbs Bas face to get close to you. He knows who his mamma is. Lol.

Thx i am going to try the paint to resize. Enjoy your sweet time together you and Brientje

@bunnytowne: you can resize them in Paint and save them as .jpg It’s how I send photos to customers as well, the quality stays good enough.

Thank you all btw for your kind words in my post about anticipatory grief, it helped me a lot!Tonight I had a very peaceful night with Breintje cuddled up to me in bed, and the only thoughts were: “Awww, I…[Read more]

It sounds like you need to place litter boxes in the more open area.  You can think that a rabbit doesn’t truly understand the somewhat arbitrary rule we’re enforcing that they should only go to the bathroom in a singular spot. Rabbits aren’t actually litter-boxed trained per-say— it’s more that their natural bathroom habits fits the litter-box…[Read more]

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]
