Technically chinchilla rabbits have this really clear banding pattern with 4 bands (notice the second black band before the white ticking), I don’t think Muffin quite has it:

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think his color is more of a grey agouti, which still has bands of color but not as many? I think chinchilla is a subset of agouti? So…[Read more]

That’s interesting, this is what his fur looks like! I’m not sure if this is what you mean lol.

As much as those really look like Pinky and his siblings, they’re not! (At least I don’t think they are). It’s a photo I found online when I was looking at bunny stuff lol. I just thought it would help identify what breed he is.

I think I remember…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan! After you transition, just keep an eye on his body condition (I usually just feel my bunnies LOL). If he seems thin he might need a larger amount of pellets while he continues to grow a bit.

Usually breeders separate babies from mom around 8 weeks.

I think at 7 years I would call around and see what the vets are like in your region. If they do a lot of spays, they will likely be comfortable doing it after doing some blood work.

If you blow on Muffin’s fur, do you see rings of alternating light and dark? That’s the hallmark of the chinchilla color. 🙂 I was thinking that’s what he looks like as well.  I think the chinchilla color can be on other breeds as well.

Pinky could be a NZ mix, or also could have Rhinelander in him. Sometimes I think the Rhinelander breed gets…[Read more]

I am so very sorry you lost your bun. You opted for the surgery to help her and to promote her long term health. It’s very unfair that things went wrong.

We post in the Rainbow-section to pay  tribute to our lost pets. It it important, because our pets are important. You are very welcome to post a few pics of your girl, or write down some sweet…[Read more]

Poe & Atlas LOL the only reason the stuffies hair would be messy is from them grooming it! All that fuzz sticks together and makes it look wet lol.

Yeah it took them a while to warm up to their plushies (as with anything new lol) I guess they could be accepting it and social grooming lol.

Thank you LBJ10! Oh ): Rest In Peace little bunny 💜 ):

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that. I just see the New Zealand white rabbits online which don’t look a lot like Pinky. I looked up the broken pattern rabbits and I do see the spots around the eyes, but I’m not sure! Yeah, the fur is like a red-brown. The rescue called it tan. I was thi…[Read more]

Okay, I did the math, and she is close to 7 years.

When we got her, we didn’t know you should rescue rabbits and bought her from a holland lop breeder. So how old are rabbits when they are separated from their moms in breeding facilities?

We bought her the day before Easter in 2014, so it was probably however long before when she was born.

Thank you!! He’s a dutch, about 3 lbs now I think. I’ll just buy a smaller bag of the junior pellets and transition him. I appreciate your help!

Red blood around the anus indicated that the probem lies somewhere rather close to the anus. If there is a bleed higher up in the GI canal, the blood that comes out will not be red and liquid, but black (or at least very dark brown).

This could be a polyp (most common cause), or a hemorrhoid or a papilloma located near the anal opening. Here is…[Read more]

Do you have someone who can help you?

Here are a couple different methods that I like, depending on the bun:

Here’s a cool method involving training the bun to allow you to trim their nails without force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEFrHZbw6tQ&list=PLn9xVcGXrVa5t-XUXErt_cTmjBPRKPnGZ&ab_channel=SarahOwings
