Sidthebunny started the topic Ear mites turned ear infection? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 6 months ago
Hi guys! my 9 month old mini lop has ear mites. I took him to the vets 6 weeks ago and they confirmed it after seeing scabs and mites in his ear canal. Yesterday, I took him back as he was still itching and his treatment was over. They looked into his ears and said there were still some scabs in his ears, but overall not as much as 6 weeks ago.…[Read more]

Thank you for your replies.
I’ll try the lettuce ideas – I’ve always steered clear of them as there’s so many different opinions on what lettuces they can have and didn’t want to risk it.
He only has fruit as a treat, maybe a couple of times a weeks and only in small quantities. didn’t think it would affect him eating his greens. I’ll tria…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply!
Hmm, I haven’t noticed if his ears were back or forward.
I will admit he hasn’t bitten or nipped me yet, but it’s probably because I flinch back (it startles me lol).
Also, since I just got him the other day, I’ve yet to handle him. I sit outside his pen and let him come to me, but like I’ve mentioned, every time I bring m…[Read more]

MiniRex started the topic Should I re-bond? Seperate? in the forum BONDING 5 years, 6 months ago
My two rabbits come to me already bonded (when they lived with their old owner, there was a third, but he wasn’t for sale). My rabbits’ relationship is troubled, to say the least. It used to be that sometimes, Peter would chase Benji a little, but now Benji’s been chasing Peter… A few day ago, they got into a fight; chasing, fur flying, ect. I…[Read more]

Hi, this caught my attention because I have a rabbit who is picky and another who doesn’t eat greens at all. I give her extra pellets as a small snack instead, and she is healthy without the greens. The picky bun’s favorite is Kale. He also likes parsley, basil and cilantro if you have not tried those, and some lettuces like butter and red leaf.…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic New bunny lunging? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
He might be lunging out of friendliness. My two boys do this, and it did startle me at first, but they want to be petted. 🙂
Are his ears forward or back? You can make your hand into a small fist, so it looks like a small rabbit head. Place it on the ground off to the side of his head (not right in front of him, as they have a blind spot). If he…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Fussy Bunny! 🐰 Ideas for Variety Needed! 🥬🥦 – Thank you 😊 in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 6 months ago
Baby corn is not an appropriate thing for a bunny to eat in any amount because it has a large amount of starch. If he’s getting a lot of fruit that might also contribute to him not wanting his salad (like a kid eating ice cream before dinner). I also notice that cabbage, kale, and cauliflower leaves are all in the cabbage family. Cabbage and…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Should I get a friend for my bunny? in the forum BONDING 5 years, 6 months ago
Ah I see. In my experience volunteering at a rescue, and also on this forum, most of the falling outs seem to be people who got bunnies as babies, and didn’t realize they would likely start fighting at puberty if not castrated super early. Not sure if that’s what happened at your place, but that’s what I’ve observed! That was also the most common…[Read more]

I’m so sorry about your dad. 🙁
He is so cute! I’m normally not a small dog person either, but lately little dogs have been growing on me.
What about a line of parachute cord as a leash? It is really thin, strong, and light weight. I think if he can handle the weight of a sweater the paracord wouldn’t bother him!
In terms of training, I’ve…[Read more]

Hi Everyone 😊
My Bunny has decided to become more and more fussy – especially when it comes to eating his daily greens!
He used to love spring greens/cauliflower leaves/cabbage/kale.
so I was able to give him a daily variety.He has now decided, he will only eat Kale. Won’t even entertain the idea of anything else.
He does like baby corn, and i…[Read more] -
MiniRex replied to the topic Children's Benadryl Tx in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 6 months ago
My rabbit, Peter, has been sneezing (w/ discharge) since I got him in June, 2019. I’m thinking that it’s from allergies, but I’m not positive. He has not been to the vet for this issue. Do you think that giving him benadryl will help?

Wow!! He sure is tiny! Tiny, yet cute! 😉

Vicky replied to the topic Horrible behaviour – unspayed female in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
Yeah well she does not eat a ton. But when she chews it she eats a little pieces of it.
Everything I give her is not interesting. Even the phone book I gave her in the morning! She played with it like few minutes and done.
I will look for 100% cotton blanket hehe. Thank you!

Thank you DanaNM. I am glad to hear the 95% statistic because none of my bonding attempts have worked out and when I worked at the rescue we so often had people bringing us bunnies that had fallen out with their friends. I had started thinking it would be impossible.
At the moment I have plenty of time on my hands (one benefit of lockdown!) and I…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Horrible behaviour – unspayed female in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
If she is actually eating the blanket in large quantities, that’s not ideal. If she’s just chewing it and leaving behind pieces, that’s fine. I have been told that 100% cotton is preferred as a material because it’ll break down in a rabbits stomach unlike synthetic fabrics. What’s pictured is fleece blankets that actually have tons of holes in…[Read more]

Hello there! I just very recently got a new male bunny. He’s roughly 10 months old according to his old owner. He seems pretty settled in, running around and playing with his toys. If I walk near the pen, he runs up to the side and try’s shoving his nose through the bars. However, it seems that when I actually crouch down and slowly let my fin…[Read more]
