I don’t know what a cashmere rabbit is (is it a cashmere lop? That’s what came up when I google’d!), but how often are you grooming and is it always necessary? Unless a rabbit is in a molt/shedding, you don’t need to have regularly scheduled grooming sessions (though it’s different for those long-furred breeds).

Positive association can go a long…[Read more]

Thanks for the update!

For grooming, I decided that higher-stress, more grooming single sessions is better than doing shorter and more sessions over time. My Wick, though he is half the size of my Fable, his fur type is longer and more dense, so he sheds a ton in patches. I handpluck him, and during high molt times, it can last up to 45 minutes…[Read more]

You can upload pictures to your profile gallery. Once they are there, you can insert them into the post where you want them, or link to them in that post.

If you can’t make it work, please send me a PM and I’ll put your pictures up for you.

Oh, he’s completely adorable! And the pic of Esther is wonderfully silly! 🥰

Okay so we’re going to start fostering him soon! The rescue is actually foster based so he’s been in foster homes his whole life (he was born into the rescue). Poor guys still hasn’t been adopted, likely because the rescue is quite small and had 2 other litters around the same time, which means there was a lot of baby buns. Here are some pics…[Read more]

Interesting guys, thank you!

I think the most important thing is to teach them not to chase or grab him. At that age (boys especially, depending on the boys…) they might have a hard time accepting that Buddy may not want to be near them or accept pets.

I think it best would be have them sit down in his exercise area and hand-feed some veggies (long stems if he ever nips on…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your explanations! It all helped a lot.

What kind of treats do you give? – I was told not to give him any veggies until 6 months (he is 11 weeks right now).

Also, I forgot to mention the age before does that change a bit of his ability to adapt? I still have the chance to effect how his personality ends up, at least a little?

I’m so happy to hear she is doing well!

Regarding grooming, I would experiment with different types of brushes. My bunnies all have ones they tolerate and ones they hate. Myra gets soooo annoyed with me when she’s molting, but she gets over it ones the heavy shed is done.

The fur-buster comb works very well on most fur types. I also really like…[Read more]

Glad to hear Hunny is doing better. Do they feel like the medications are shrinking the abscess?

Hmm… would one of those grooming gloves help?

And, since she is eating shredded veggies, will she eat fresh grass? Like wheat grass, you can buy it at the pet store as “cat grass” or grow it yourself.

If it was just one, he/she will probably be fine.

My sincerest apologies for the late response:

Hunny is doing very well despite the abscess. She does not seem to be in any significant pain; she is frisky, affectionate, eating diced greens and soaked pellets, and pooping normally. To an outsider, she’d seem completely healthy. Hunny is on gabapentin and meloxicam to manage discomfort and takes…[Read more]
