Hi! Thank you for replying!

Hopefully, this sudden behavior dies down soon. I will be trying some cat scratchers and digging mats and see what attracts him the most.

Another thing is I’ve been noticing that he has become so skittish. He has never really liked being held but I could at least grab him and place him wherever I needed to which is…[Read more]

Some bunnies just aren’t big on veggies. Not sure why, but it does happen. It isn’t the end of the world. I think the wheatgrass suggestion is a good idea to try.

Holland lops are a dwarf breed. He should be close to full grown (size-wise) around 6 months. They continue to fill out for a few months after that, but it’s totally appropriate to transition to an adult pellet at 6 months.

As the others said below, spacing things out so he has a chance to get hungry is something else you can try.

Sorry for my long text but I forgot to add that I have also tried keeping him in just the pen in order to decrease space and re-establish one corner, but it didn’t work. He also is somewhat aggressive towards people who invade his space, but he doesn’t spray like territorial markings, just normal pee.

I’ve tried pretty much everything available in the grocery store here: 5 or 6 types of lettuce, cilantro, parsley, basil, dandelion (just last couple days but she has stopped even coming near them, haha), kale, spinach, and any other random thing I’ve tried for Elmer like Carrot tops, mint, chard…etc.  Last summer my friend grew broccoli and…[Read more]

Ugh, this is so sad. I hope they are in a better place now, but I don’t have a good feeling about it. 🙁  Could you ask them what they did with the others?

I’m glad you were able to rescue the little boy. Poor thing, all those scars on his face and his ear. It makes me sick how some people treat their animals. Why even keep them if they don’t…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so horrible when they are so young. 🙁

It’s clear he was very loved and had an amazing life with you, short though it was. And that’s so wonderful that he inspired you to become a vet to help other bunnies. <3

I second palm plates!

What types of greens have you tried? Fragrant herbs like cilantro and parsley are usually very popular. Dandelion or fresh grass is also usually a huge hit. You could try growing wheat grass/cat grass, I bet she would love that, even as an occasional treat.

Greens are not strictly necessary, as the vets have said, and some bunnies actually are…[Read more]

I was also going to suggest memory foam bath mats. I think some people also will just faux shearling rugs, and those beds that are meant to be used in dog crates.

Putting down some fleece blanket or towels so that they are bunched up will also help, as the uneven surface takes pressure off the heel.

You’ll want to keep an eye on things for…[Read more]

I second Wick’s suggestion about food spacing, as well as trying a different hay type or source. I normally get hay by the bale, and when I was traveling recently I had to get some pet-store bagged hay (from a reputable brand) that looked great to my eye, but all my spoiled buns turned their nose up at it.
