Thanks everyone. This morning she seems fine. I do appreciate the reassurance!

I’ve never heard that. I have 3 buns and we’ve had stasis 4 times. There is only one time that I can’t definitively point to someone having eaten something inappropriate as the cause, so as far as I can tell it isn’t harming them. I feed each full sized bun 1/8 cup pellets twice a day and my little guy gets half that. They get their salads at the…[Read more]

Btw I feed them just in the morning. But hay all the time of course.

Hi and welcome back ☺

I would try softer hay. Its good that you have meloxicam. There are no special things to do post a molar trimming, but how soon the rabbit returns to normal is highly individual. Is he eating other food than hay?

Thanks Joon. We have talked about moving and we probably will in the next year or two. For now I think we’ve got it sorted out, the rabbits have about half the room (a little more than half really) to run around in, and they get regular supervised playtime in the whole house. I’m also going to give further litter training another try. They really…[Read more]

No, that’s definitely not normal. He might have been injured or maybe he’s sick? He needs to go to a vet.

I also just wanted to say that bathing a rabbit should be a last resort. They can get hypothermia and even if they don’t, bathing them causes a lot of stress. Always try using pet or baby wipes to clean them.

Sorry this ended up being a…[Read more]

No, I don’t think it’s normal for rabbits to be peeing so much, but how frequently they pee depends a lot on the bun. As long as everything else is normal, don’t worry too much about it. And yes, if you want to, you can remove the soft things. If you really feel like he needs something soft, then maybe you could try soft bedding like CareFresh.…[Read more]

Chances are she’ll be fine. Just closely monitor her for the next few hours and make sure she’s acting normally.

Their setup looks great to me! Don’t be too harsh on yourself. You said that you’ve seen them binky and zoomie in there, which means they’re really happy. Plus they’re getting free roam time in the living room, so they should be fine.

Cashmere lops aren’t recognized in the US. I think it’s a UK breed. They do not have the wool gene. They have long silky outer hairs and a shorted undercoat. Are trying to keep the fur from getting tangled? Or is she actually shedding?

Hmm… wasn’t it Sonn that had a lop bunny with longer fur that would become matted in like 2 seconds?

She’ll probably be fine.

I’m assuming he’s an English angora then? They don’t have guard hairs, so their fur is difficult to brush through. You might try a hairbuster comb, but I think most people just keep them clipped.

Have you tried placing him in an “unfamiliar” place? On your lap? On a high surface? Sometimes it’s easier when they see they can’t simply run away.

I liked mixing the solid grids in as well. Made it look more like a furniture piece than a giant cage, haha. I bought different sets to get the square grids and solid squares.

Those are the connectors that actually come with the grids themselves. If you make a c and c cage, I cannot stress ENOUGH that you should NOT buy the cheapest grid set you find. Go for the pricier ones. The cheap ones, as I’ve learned, can come very warped, so using the connectors are impossible, which is probably a big reason why many people…[Read more]

Hmmm, I’m not sure about the feet brushing. I imagine you don’t want mattting, but usually you don’t want to remove any fur from the feet as they need it for cushioning. Hopefully someone else with angora experience will chime in!

Yea he is trimmed, but his wool has already grown out so much! So he does need brushing regularly. He does love food, but while petting and eating he still squirms around when I try to brush or just runs off…  Is it okay to brush their feet?
