Bam replied to the topic What kind of hay is this? in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
There’s absolutely a seed head to the right in the first pic, you also see the “knuckles” on a few of the stalks. Both those things are typical of grasses. There is a clover flower obviously, but if its just a little bit of clover mixed in, it’s not a problem.

I’m so very sorry. Dont blame yourself. It was her time to go, you did all that could possibly be done.
It is very hard to lose a bun. They are our babies, as you say. 💔

LBJ10 replied to the topic Didn't think about consequences of adopting new rabbit in college in the forum THE LOUNGE 6 years, 1 month ago
I had pets when I was in college and grad school. I always had time to spend with them. Bunnies are great because they just enjoy having you nearby, so you can spend time with them while studying, etc. I understand though, sometimes you just feel overwhelmed with the idea juggling all these things.
I did want to mention that it is generally not…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Unneutered male rabbits in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
Young, unneutered males are little balls of hormones when puberty kicks in. The “severity” of their behavior can vary between individuals… but you won’t know what you’ve got until they reach a certain age. They will eventually calm down with age (1-2 years), but that doesn’t mean the hormonal behaviors will completely disappear. There are people…[Read more]

I definitely recommend adopting if you can. Baby bunnies are cute and all. But baby bunnies are also like a box of chocolates. ๐ Plus, there is the stress (on you) and cost of spaying/neutering when they get older. There isn’t a rabbit rescue where I live, but our local humane society has a few rabbits on a regular basis. Most are only a year or…[Read more]

I wouldnโt suggest getting a rabbit from a pet store. The mills they often come from are awful, and not only are you supporting that, but there are also a ton of behavioural issues that go along with coming from that kind of place. I definitely would suggest adopting from a shelter or rescue, as they will often come already spayed/neutered (…[Read more]

Nina S started the topic Rabbits and having kids in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
This might be a really silly question, but I am new to bunnies + new to pets in general. My husband and I have been married just over a year and I feel we have ample time to care for a bunny now (more so me since my husband works longer hours). But we will likely want to have kids in a few years. Do you find it is stressful to care for a newborn…[Read more]

Louiethebunny replied to the topic Unneutered male rabbits in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
Unneutered bunnies definitely present more territorial and hormonal behaviors. Although sometimes rabbits that aren’t fixed behave fine, it’s pretty uncommon. Lot’s of people with unfixed rabbits notice spraying, marking, destructiveness, and sometimes aggression. Litter training is also much harder due to marking. Obviously, if you only have one…[Read more]

Does anyone have experience with not neutering your bunny? Specifically male because I know unneutered females are more prone to cancer.
I am Not looking for responses listing the benefits of neutering, as Iโve already researched it all ;). But I am curious if anyone has chosen not to neuter their bunny and what experience they have had. Did it h…[Read more]

I would recommend adopting, most rabbits from shelters or rescues are spayed/neutered before adopted out, but it’s not always possible for everyone. Rabbits need AT LEAST 4 hours of playtime/exercise time per day, so two hours morning two hours night, or more if possible. Also, bunnies from pet stores are often mass bred and can sometimes have…[Read more]

I will keep her in my warmest thoughts, and deepest prayers. She is a bun that was truly beloved to everyone, and I am again, so sorry for you! <3 The hardest part of owning a rabbit, is accepting when it is their time to leave us, and it hurts so bad when they do, but life must go on. Know that she is with you every step of the journey you set…[Read more]

My two bunnies share a 4 ft by 4 ft xpen rn, but I’m expanding soon, and rabbits should get 4 hours of playtime minimum per day. Because my school is going to be remote, my bunnies will run free in our room while I’m there and in their pen when I’m out of the room. Twice a day could be enough, but it depends on the length of the time. Do you plan…[Read more]

How long would the sessions be? The more time out they have, the more you bond with them, and the more exercise they get too, there is nothing like seeing a rabbit binky, and bonds with our furry friends, to me, are more precious than any piece of diamonds or gold. ๐

Thanks so much for your kind response! It would be indoor, yes. Cage would probably be at least 40โ in width. I donโt plan on letting it have free reign of the house, I was thinking we would let it out once or twice a day for supervised play. Is that enough for the bunny?

Ditto! A lot of people have the misconception rabbits are good starter pets, when in reality they need lots of care and can be more time consuming than dogs or cats. I got my first bunny 4 months ago and my second about 20-ish days ago, and may I say, it is SUPER FUN, but still a lot of work. I absolutely adore my bunnies and cant imagine myself…[Read more]
