I agree that she will adjust to your schedule, and that giving her time in the evenings is great.

You also might consider getting an x-pen to attach to her cage as a “front yard”, that she could have access to all the time. Then she could get some zoomies out overnight as well.  🙂

Hmmmm, yeah prob a good question for a vet. In addition to worrying about smells or it chipping and being eaten, I would worry a bit that if it was too tacky that it might pull slightly on their foot fur and be hard on their feet.

It would be safer to clamp down some paper, cardboard, or grass matts in the areas where they are slipping around.

I’m so so sorry for your loss. 🙁  It is so unfair and unfortunate (to put it lightly) when we are trying to do what’s best for our buns and it all goes wrong.

I would have done the same thing, because if you had waited longer the surgery would have been even more risky, and then you would have been questioning whether you waited too long,…[Read more]

This is a fun thread! Cooper is the first bunny I’ve had that willingly jumps on my lap for pets (out of 9!). He will actually use his hide to climb up to my lap while I’m sitting in my office chair, but he’s a pretty unique little dude in how outgoing he is. Bun Jovi will sometimes jump on my lap, but usually I’m either I’m in his way, he is…[Read more]

Hello, thanks for the advice. Now that I think about it, we do have a vet appointment next week so I could ask one of the vets then.

Sweet! Would love to hear what ends up working best for you 🙂

I like to use 6 mL syringes because I find the larger ones to be a bit unwieldy, but I like the 10 mL ones too.

I know when I tried a really large one that I got from a pet store it was hard not to squirt too much food out at once. 1 mL ones work fine for some people, but I would find it annoying to have to fill up so many to get the right amount…[Read more]

There have been cases of fur mites that were resistant to Revolution (selamectin), so that Advantage was used instead.

If your vet didn’t find any mites and Revolution didn’t make a difference, it could be that the dandruff doesn’t come from mites. Some buns get dandruff-like flakes on their ears. You can brush them off with a very soft baby…[Read more]

Thanks guys! That’s interesting, I didn’t know about any of that. What does the agouti colour mean for his breed? (if that’s what it is).

I think he looks like the American Chinchilla but I don’t think he’s big enough to be a giant chinchilla? Could he be a mix of a Flemish giant and chinchilla? Or is a chinchilla rabbit just the name of a colo…[Read more]

She looks beautiful! She must’ve been so, so soft.

How lucky she was to have all that love in her life. 💗 You paint a lovely picture of her with your words. She was clearly free to express her true personality, full of sass and sweetness!

(I may have been a bit unclear in my previous post, what I meant about why we post in the RB-section was in…[Read more]

It is extremely difficult to provide information on healthy weight online. There are weight estimations based on breed, we never really know what combo of breeds are in our rabbits that will make them stray/adhere to those estimates. Also, 4mo is really in the prime of growing, so it’s hard to tell.

Here is a diagram that can be helpful for a…[Read more]

This is tough. A part of me says, well, if it’s dry and your rabbits aren’t intimately licking the tiles day in and out, it’s probably fine. That being said, maybe there are fumes that they can smell that we can’t, and is there any potential consequences to walking on it daily, in terms of adverse contact reactions.

I recommend talking to a rabbit vet.

1. I can barely afford the surgery and exam, should I go for bloodwork and X-Rays as well just to make sure he has a clean bill of health? 

• Unsure of your finances, but you can ask local rabbit rescues if they know of especially low-cost places for neutering/spaying. Typically, rescues go there because of their funds. Also, if it’s a place t…

Of all the souls I’ve known, she was easily the most pure and loving. I’ve suffered with suicidal depression since before I was even a teenager, I’m nearly 40 now. When the world felt like too much I would cuddle her and just cry into her velvet fur. She always responded with kisses. Her tooth purrs as I stroked her cheeks made me feel like I…[Read more]

It is a fun thread! My bun often jumps into my lap to energetically chin my hands and face, but he doesnt settle down for pets. For pets, he prefers to lie next to me on the sofa.
