I feel your frustration, some daysvI tell myself ” I have the world’s most picky and spoiled lionhead rabbit” I had to try different brands and cuttings to get it right. Of course then after she got spayed I had to start all over again. Starlights current favorites are APD timithy gold and feedtastic hay and bb oat hay, but who knows….maybe in 6…[Read more]

In the UK  I order it from a rabbit online pet shop. But I’m not sure in Canada. Here they sell bulk kg bags in equine stores for horses so that would be another option to try.

@HipHopBunny It is a nightmare trying to get pictures with my ancient phone. I am awaiting my new DSLR to arrive for better pictures.

@Hazel Miss is terrified of him. I don’t think she has ever seen an animal smaller than her that hasn’t tried to attack her *ahem* my hedgehog likes to chase her. She is super small. I thought she was just a tiny…[Read more]

Oh really, that’s amazing!  I definitely would have never thought about getting them directly from a farm or farmers market so I will look into that as well!  We do have Whole Foods here so maybe that would have it 🙂  I do feel bad when Snowball is only eating hay and only a tiny portion of pellets, so I do want to get him something else safe to…[Read more]

Update- they have done several 8 hour sessions. I decided to try them in the area they will be living. Went great for about 3 hours then the boy was face humping my female. I separated them, let them settled and then ended it after petting both for a few minutes. Before that there was cuddling, sharing of toys, water, and their litter box. Should…[Read more]

Is the dark spot a scab? Reminds me of a lesion caused by syphilis.

That’s a good idea! Where do I find a rubber broom? Also, when i vacuum I put starlight in the other room until I’m done.

That’s great!

I end up foraging for a lot of mine in spring time. I think plantain is pretty easy to grow (it’s a crazy weed!), but I haven’t had luck growing dandelions myself oddly.

I mostly get my dandelions direct from a farm where we get a CSA (community supported agriculture) box. So maybe check out farmers markets and if there are CSA’s…[Read more]

Well, I stress bonded them today! 😀 Aaaand, they were definitely stressed. 🙁 I put them all in a laundry basket, so there were some forced cuddles. Although, I had to end it after 35 minutes because Smokey peed. 🙄 *Sigh* Should I put them back in their pens afterwards to de-stress? Or should I take them to Semi-neutral? Thank you all in…[Read more]

Thank you!  I know this might be a dumb question – but where do you get your natural forage weeds like dandelion, plantain, sow thistle, fennel, etc.?  I gave Snowball little pieces of dandelion weeds a few days ago for the first time (our family went to a conservation area and there were a ton – I onfirmed no pesticides used), and it actually d…[Read more]

I wonder if you could spritz the pee-d on area with some dilute vinegar and then let it dry in the sun?

I recently got a rubber broom to sweep up hay before vacuuming and oh boy is it a game changer. Normally I would need to spend forever either hand picking up hay first, or unclog the vacuum several times. Now I just sweep up most of the hay first with the broom and it saves so much time. Also easier to tidy up in between vacuuming.

That seems heavy handed, especially considering the seizures are becoming less frequent. I’m glad you told him that’s not an option. Is she on a flea preventative now? Are there any indicators that point towards a flea born infection or is he just assuming because he can’t find anything else? Is she running a fever or anything like that?

It’s…[Read more]

Hey, I’m Canadian too!:-) Yes, it’s getting cold for us here too. I agree with @Bam, who said that bunnies don’t really need to be kept super warm unless it is very cold. They have lots of fur, and as long as food keeps moving through them, they’ll be warm. But something that I found online is something called a Snuggle Safe heat pad that you…[Read more]

Thanks for the info! Here’s another photo. There’s another little spot right under his mouth. I know it’s bad quality, so hard to get a good photo. ):

I heard about the drooling, not sure if they checked his teeth at the vet a few days ago. He eats well though. Could it be from drinking out of a water bowl? He has a more rounded chin, rather than pointed.

There are scent glands under the chin, but honestly I am unsure how they present…. I just know chinning is the rabbit thing, haha. That bump, I hope is just a scent gland. I’ll defer to other members for that question particularly.

Regarding dental problems, the reason this connection is made is because dental discomfort typically leads to the…[Read more]
