In my opinion, since you now know you can pick him up if needed, I would only pick him up when you need to (like for nail trims, etc.).

I think it’s important for owners to be able to pick up there rabbit for necessary things, especially like in an emergency, but I don’t really think it’s necessary or helpful to the bond with the rabbit to…[Read more]

How long have you had her? It can take buns a bit to adjust.

I recommend spending as much time as possible in the room with her, but ignore her completely. Allow her to come out and explore when she feels ready. My recent foster-fail was very shy and cage aggressive at the shelter, and had no interest in coming out of her pen for the first week…[Read more]

While a lot of rabbit pellets used to be geared towards breeding and did not have great ingredients, there are a lot of brands now that are tailored to house rabbits and use high quality ingredients. Since most of these brands only recommend feeding a small amount to the rabbit, the pellet is actually one of the cheapest parts of my rabbit’s diet.…[Read more]

My buns got kind of sick of spring mix as well. I think the soft leaves are not as appealing to them as more robust crunchy leaves. I might be OK to give daily, depending on what is in it. Some spring mixes have a lot of spinach and baby chard/silver beet, which also has a lot of oxalate. But others are more of a variety of lettuces. You might try…[Read more]

Hi everyone! I have a petition going for access to vaccines in North America and would appreciate signatures. With the new administration dealing with Covid I’m sure RHD is not the first thing being brought to their attention. I’ve already emailed the White House and reminded my senator but am hoping to get more signatures before I close this.…[Read more]

You’re welcome! Please let us know how the appointment goes.

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]
