Netherland dwarfs are small and adorable. Some are high strung others cuddly. A tendency to malloclusion issues. Their checks are so fat. Cute. Their jaws are shortened to get that cute baby bunny look. Not all nethies have malloclusion issues tho. Angoras are usually calm and cuddly. Require lots of grooming. Can get biggish. Hotots are on the…[Read more]

Cool you have 3 bunbuns. Raven was a kitty at the vets office I adopted. She was described as the one with the short tail. Actually it’s 3 inches shorter than usual. Can’t tell now it’s all puffy lol. A medium haired domestic. Her name was raven. I knew of liked it so I kept it. She was 2 months. Already spayed. Microchipped. She was 3 Feb 18

Hi. Thank you. I wasn’t sure if I belonged here anymore since I don’t have a bunny anymore

Oh yes. Buns and their hay. Was some getting used to clean floors after Cotton passed. Felt like something was missing. Now it’s Raven kitty’s hair from her  tailg getting stepped on. Lol. She has a really bushy tail.

Ah good to know! What would you recommend for the flooring? I used coroplast in the past but my bun used to try to eat it so I’d prefer something else! Though I know every bun is different.

Thank you so much for your reply! I will make sure to give her the simethicone drops tonight and do the tummy massages. Thank you again!! :))

I have seen people use them with success. Be mindful that they cannot be used as weight-bearing in a set-up (i.e. a floor); only as walls. Something to keep in mind is which side is facing inside. Grids I have with a similar style, the material wraps over the grid structure and is sort of “stamped” to the other side (see sample image below), so…[Read more]

Barney does like the cardboard cat scratcher that I have. He also enjoys climbing the cat tree. 😁😂

They’re called “DIY Plastic Modular Fence” online! I’m not sure if I’m allowed to send pictures. My idea was to do two rows of them vertically so the bun can’t jump out or chew them.

Oh that’s good to know! His foster mom says that he doesn’t chew furniture or wires so far (though I’ll still bunny proof to be safe!) He’s mostly one to dig carpet but that’s not a huge concern with me! He is litterbox trained for pee but is still learning with poops. The only thing is I believe his foster mom says she uses cat litter…[Read more]

Wow what an amazing bunny room!

Great, glad you are feeling better. 🙂

I think it’s good to ease into free-roam. I like to let new bunnies get settled in their main space for at least a few days to help them get organized with their litter box and feel more at home. Then you can gradually allow free-roam time and see where you need to up your bunny-proofing game. Some bunnies…[Read more]

Hmmm I’m not familiar with those either, but if the shelter is already using them I’m curious to see what they would look like all set up. I imagine if the top is open they could work, but is there an edge that could be chewed or become sharp?

Rabbit pellet food is formulated to be a portion of the diet, fed alongside grass hay. So usually there are lots of other things added (vitamins, minerals, a protein source, etc.).

I dont know the ingredients of the sweet meadow pellets, but pure timothy pellets would provide the fiber that would come from eating straight hay, so it would be good…[Read more]

I am hoping for the best!!

Thank you so much!

I think the main thing to emphasize is that if he kicks out while his legs are dangling is that he could injure his spine permanently. Rabbits spines are very different from a dog or a cat’s, and their hind leg muscles are so strong, that they can literally break their own back by kicking out while being held in correctly. It isn’t a matter of…[Read more]

How soon is your trip? Maybe your cousin could practice feeding and interacting with her before you leave. That way, it wouldn’t be such a shock.
