Okay thanks @DanaNM .

I think I’m already losing some hope. I hate seeing Esther like this, so aggressive and angry. She’s such a sweet loving girl and I thought she’d love a friend for that reason, and I didn’t anticipate how aggressive she’d be. I know it’s only day 3 with Blaze, and it’s going to get better,  but it’s just hard. It helps t…[Read more]

That is definitely a significant outlier in neuter pricing. If there was a track-record of cheaper neuters being less successful, I could see people considering it; however, considering how routine and relatively simple neuters are, the existence of a $700-quoted neuter does not undermine the legitimacy and safety of a $300 or less neuter. Also,…[Read more]

I actually doubt its about more protein. The difference in protein content between timothy hay and orchard is very minor (9% vs 10%).  I see a lot of wild bunnies abd their poop where I live, and its always a lot darker when the weather is damp compared to when its dry.  With my own buns I have seen a difference in poop color depending on how m…[Read more]

Thank you for your responses, everyone! 🙂

When I broke it apart, it was a brown color and it didn’t really smell. 🙂 The only thing that really worried me, was the color on the outside. I didn’t know if dark was bad! 😆 In the slide show though, it said that she’s getting too much protein? She has unlimited Orchard Grass Hay, for my…[Read more]

One trick with really feisty buns is to put one hand on the buns head so their eyes are covered (position them so their bum is facing you). Usually that will stop them from trying to run away.

Ditto what Bam said. If they both eat plenty of hay, you can feed both only hay. If there is a concern about not eating enough, you can eliminate one element of the diet at a time instead to see if something specific is triggering it. Which bun was it that was being somewhat picky about hay?

Those poops do seem like they are extra moist, and yes…[Read more]

The timings seem great! I really love that they’re almost equal in length. It’s just that many bunnies sleep in the afternoon, so maybe you could make the morning shift a little earlier and the night shift a little later if that’s possible? But overall, you’re doing great!

I think 2 shifts are good, but I would probably extend the evening out-time, since the evenings as a rule are when we have time to really hang out with our buns. It can however feel a bit unfair if one bun always gets the morning shift and the other one gets the evenings. Hopefully this situation will be very temporary for you though.

When I had…[Read more]

The poop looks healthy enough! It does look a bit dark, but that’s not a cause for concern unless the poop is smelly/ mushy.

Ok, I’ll lock this one! If you happen to start a thread in the wrong section, you can just alert one of the mods and we’ll move it for you 🙂

As long as he actually eats the hay,there’s no harm in only feeding hay for a week. But he must eat hay, and a good amount of it. Some buns just stop eating if they only get hay, and if a bunny doesn’t eat, it will lead to stasis and possible liver damage. For those type rabbits its safer to keep feeding a small amount of pellets. The amount of…[Read more]

Thanks DanaNM for the advice! Is there any harm in only feeding hay for a week? Other than him being jealous of Muffin’s food lol. This is what I woke up to today in the bunny pen… It’s weird that there’s wet spots around it. Do you remember my older post of him leaving brown spots on the blankets?

Hehe he is quite adorable… He’s so baby-like! I don’t know how to explain it, Esther has a very mature (yet still incredibly adorable!) face, but everything about Blaze is so little! His ears, his face, his lil feet… and he hops like a lil baby bun lol!  @Wick his nose boop is quite irresistible!

Shoot! Sorry just realized this should have gone under “diet and care”. I’m just gonna leave it so I don’t flood the forum with copies. Sorry bout that!

Yes he is an English Angora. I put him on a my dining room table, but he runs away while trying to brush him…
