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

I use something similar to this…[Read more]

If he’s a small breed then it would be OK to start switching now. You would want to transition though, not just hop to the adult formula once the junior formula is used up. It might be best to buy a new bag of junior pellets and then use that in the transition to adult.

Any of the adult formulas are fine. Most people stick to the essentials.

He does get his nails clipped regularly and the last time he got it trimmed was like a week ago. When he climbs on my lap the nails feel pretty blunt, so that’s why I was suspecting it was some sort of skin issue instead.

Yeah that’s what I thought so too. Just needed some reassurance haha

Rabbits are crepuscular so they are naturally active early in the morning and in the evening. Afternoon is usually sleepy time. Most rabbits will adapt to a schedule that reasonably follows their natural habits. I would keep up the routine of giving her access to playtime in the evening. She will likely learn it is her time to run around and…[Read more]
