As of right now, I use an area rug that my family doesn’t really care about. But if the pee pads don’t work out in the long run maybe try taking puzzle play mats and covering them with fleece and setting the cage on top of that. This gives them no easy edges to chew but if they start to have trouble spots then the best thing to do would be to…[Read more]

Although it is a good idea to get your rabbit comfortable with being held, your rabbit might just never get used to being held. Some rabbits just really hate being held mostly cause of their prey animal instincts. If you need to transport your rabbit I recommend having a carrier and placing them in the carrier. I have a rabbit that just doesn’t…[Read more]

If the problem goes away with neosporin, it’s not mites. If it’s mites, the problem will return. Mites often don’t cause the rabbit any discomfort until the infestation becomes really bad, so this is one of the few instances where you can actually wait and see for a little bit (rabbits are otherwise typically not wait-and-see-animals).

Advantage…[Read more]

Okay! This is super helpful and definitely something that I’ll be looking into and trying. I was recommended to use some Neosporin on the area and that seems to help a TON so I’m thinking it’s Probably  just some dandruff or dry skin? Thoughts?

@DanaNM thanks for letting me know! Are spring greens ok to give to my bunny daily? I might just give him spring greens once a day and then spinach as an occasional treat from now on… I usually give him a small amount of spring greens 4 times a day but I think I might be giving him too much without realising, hence him taking a long time to eat…[Read more]

Sometimes bunnies do get sick of certain veggies, or they may get used to having them (food security) so they will eat more slowly (my Myra is like this with romaine… she always eats it eventually but doesn’t eat it as fast as her favorites).

Not eating can also be a symptom of a problem (tummy problems or a dental issue), but if he is eating…[Read more]

Hi mbp27! Rather than replying to an old thread, I recommend making a new topic of your own (click the [Create Topic] button on the top left when you are looking in a forum category, like HOUSE RABBIT Q&A). Since this is an old thread, I will lock it and you can start your own topic.

From hearing it, it might be just her “oinking” sound, though…[Read more]

Hello everyone! My rabbit (Cacau is from Brazil) is 9 years old and she’s very healthy. But in the last months she’s doing some strange noises when she’s licking her fur, eating or I’m petting her belly. She never did this before and the noise is getting louder and more frequent. We already took her twice to the vet but he doesn’t know what’s…[Read more]

That’s what my plan is to do but I’ll have to wait till the weather warms a bit. There’s an old desk in my room I’m getting rid of but with the snow and Covid it’s difficult to get a friend to come help me (father can’t because of his back). I’ve gotten a spray bottle for the cat, he’s gotten a hold of animals outside unfortunately which is the ma…[Read more]

Unfortunately if you’re in Australia I’m guessing a lot of vets really don’t treat rabbits so it might be hard to find a specialist. I’m not an expert on loss of sight but I want to reiterate what was said above that she would still be able to distinguish light and dark, shadows, movement. Rabbits don’t see the same way we do to begin with and I…[Read more]
