Celia & Clover replied to the topic Boyfriend wants the rabbits caged up, help! in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 11 months ago
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]

BB8 started the topic After Molar Trimming in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 11 months ago
Hello everyone! BB8 recently had his molars trimmed(on the 21st) and he’s been doing well but he hasn’t been eating as much hay now than as he did before the procedure. The second day he came home he started to act normally and eat everything else with his normal gusto except his hay. He does eat hay but only small amounts. I called the vet’s…[Read more]

shasbun replied to the topic Bunny Acting Lethargic in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 11 months ago
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]

shasbun replied to the topic rabbit peeing on soft things in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 11 months ago
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.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Grooming Cashmere Rabbit in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 11 months ago
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.

LBJ10 replied to the topic 7 month year old English Angora Hates being brushed in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 11 months ago
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.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic PLEASE HELP ME UPGRADE MY RABBIT'S CAGE!! in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 11 months ago
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]

DanaNM replied to the topic 7 month year old English Angora Hates being brushed in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 11 months ago
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!

I know you are supposed to clean and dry pinecones before giving them to your rabbit, but my daughter didn’t. She put a fresh (undried) pinecone in with her rabbit. The rabbit chewed a dozen or so of the nubs off of it before I discovered it. Will she be okay? This was about an hour ago and she’s acting normal. I gave her a handful of hay and…[Read more]

khushi2020 replied to the topic 7 month year old English Angora Hates being brushed in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 11 months ago
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?

🙂 You can search “storage cube grids” or “neat idea cubes” and you should find some links to various stores.

You can get those cube grids on Amazon by looking up “wire cube shelves” or anything along those lines.

I will make one more plug for the C&C cages, while understanding that they do have a certain look, but there are things you can do to make them look more appealing. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4apeUIlpTh/
