If she wasn’t spayed until just recently, that may have played a role. Perhaps she will start coming out of her shell more now?

Insurance companies need to know what breed your rabbit is? That’s weird. Haha! There are lots of people that have no clue what breed or breeds their bunny is because mixes are so common. I was just guessing based on your bunny’s size and appearance. But I suppose my guess is as good as any!

Dark poop isn’t “bad” necessarily. Since your rabbits are young and eating an alfalfa-based diet, dark poops are to be expected.

It could be that his ear canal is shaped in a way that makes him prone to ear infections. If he was younger, you may have been able to consider an ear canal ablation. Some members have done this and had good luck with it.

If there is a tumor present, I suppose that could cause stuff to get stuck in there and create a breeding ground for bacteria.…[Read more]

My bunnies really like American Pet Timothy Gold Hay.  It’s a second cutting of Timothy and has always been fresh and fragrant.  It’s sold at Petco, online and in the stores.  They have a 24 ounce bag, which is the size I buy.  They also sell it online in a larger size.  Oxbow orchard grass hay is a good, softer hay too.  It’s sold online at Petco…[Read more]

How old are your rabbits?

In fall, we normally gather leaves and grass for our little critters. They do appreciate it!

How much would you suggest for a 5 pound bunny?

Awesome, good luck!

Ya, I have wanted another bunny to put with Nala for a long time now. She seems to only like other animals and isn’t the biggest fan of humans. I think I will be able to change their minds so hopefully that will help.  I will definitely try to find some DIYs to keep my bun busy.

Interesting and seems accurate! Mine both definitely are eating/ drinking/ and subsequently going to the bathroom more so I’m glad they aren’t the opposite. It’s funny you mention hormones because I have said they are acting like they have spring fever. Generally “odd” moods (sometimes grumpy),  and my male has been trying to mount the female…[Read more]

Good luck with trying tunnels and other things! There are lots of DIY ideas online and YouTube.

That’s a tough one, the reason I got 2 was because after reading so much about how they are happier in pairs (when I got mine I had no idea how social they were), I felt determined to make it happen. If you’re living with parents they’d really need to…[Read more]

Some buns go off their food or become very grumpy while moulting. It seems pretty clear that moulting isn’t “just” about shedding hair. My guess is that there are various hormones at play (hormones does not necessarily mean sex hormones). Some sort of molecular signal probably triggers the molt, and whatever it is, it triggers other things as…[Read more]

Okay I will definitely try most of this. My bunny isn’t much of a chewer but she just has a major issue of peeing under my bed even though she is litter trained. She has a few random things I need to deal with but I definitely think this will help. Thank you

Okay I’ll try some different things. My rabbit isn’t to much of a chewer so I only have a few chew toys for her but I think she might love tunnels. I will definitely try some different things with her to try and keep her occupied. I have been trying to convince my family to let me get a buddy for my rabbit. Do you have any tips on trying to convince them?

You could feed only a little bit of pellets, especially if your bun is on the plump side. 1 -2 tablespoons per day would be enough for a 4 pound bun, if she is willing to eat a good amount of hay.

Many of us use pellets as a “bunny multi vitamin tablet”, we only give enough to ensure the buns get everything they need. The best rabbit food is…[Read more]

I got mine a friend, which did help but still seem bored part of the day since they aren’t the most playful with each other. When I had one, I found he didn’t like traditional toys. If I removed some of the stuff in his area, he liked it better because his favorite thing was/is zoomies and tunnels and he had more room. He just likes to jump on…[Read more]
