I have been calling him Flame, Midnight Flame, Flamie and Flamie Diablo.  No devil in this one just because of the black head with fire on his back!  I will be taking him for a check up/stool sample, then a neuter.  He is so good with the litterbox I wonder if already neutered but I would guess someone irresponsible enough to dump him outside wo…[Read more]

From my vet, generally greens that are safe for humans and horses are safe for buns. Same with herbs. There are a few like spinach and parsley that should be eaten in moderation. Kale and other brassicas are controversial, Dorian loves it and has no issues… so best bet there is start simple and then slowly add one by one and monitor. Rabbit…[Read more]

It really depends on your rabbit’s eating habits. Louie devours all kinds of greens and fruits, so he may be able to cute down on pellets and receive enough nutrients from veggies, but Lola is more reluctant to munch her veggies, (most likely because she came from a rescue that can’t provide a variety of greens.) So I make sure she eats pellets to…[Read more]

I get a big box (25lbs) online and keep it in my basement storage area as I don’t really have room for it upstairs, it comes in a big plastic bag inside the box which I just semi seal up. I then cram as much as I can in a tupperware storage container that I keep in his room and last me almost a week so I don’t have to go trot down to the storage…[Read more]

I think it is a discussion you really should make on your vet as a lot depends on your ability to feed a variety and your buns health/eating habits. I was told Dorian is a good candidate as he eats a good amount of hay and loves his leafy greens & herbs. I also give a large variety, as in a minimum of 3 different types a day and a minimum of 9…[Read more]

@Bu20055 Yeah, that could work as long as it is really waterproof. I don’t have experience with those covers but yeah. Fleece on top is nice. I think you would just need something to put on the walls to make it waterproof so the wood doesn’t get wet. I wouldn’t normally suggest just making just a wood box because the bunny can’t see out of it. I g…[Read more]

Thanks @Louiethebunny – I don’t have a car, so right now anything longer distance is a bit out of range for me. I’ll keep that in mind for future though!

@Moonlightbunny66 That’s a good idea. She could probably make a basic pen out of plywood even since the inside he’d have access to would be covered in the waterproof flooring.

Do you think one of those waterproof mattress protectors could work for the floor? The part that wraps around the bed could wrap around the outside of the pen. She could…[Read more]

@Wick Thank you! Good info! 🙂

@Louiethebunny My entire spending budget is almost exclusively for my pets. Most of my friends and family roll my eyes because I get so excited at new pet stuff. Lol.

By including a small amount of pellets in a rabbit’s diet, it is a way of ensuring that the rabbit is getting all its necessary nutrients and minerals. Those who do not feed their rabbits pellets have the task of filling in those gaps with a constant variety of vegetables paired with have a good hay-eating rabbit. That is my understanding.

It is…[Read more]

Thanks guys!

Id also try cutting out everything except hay and a small amount of pellets (dont stop pellets completely, it can be difficult for the bunny tummy to absorb all the nutrients in hay only, especially if the bun is young). I’d keep giving the probiotics (the best probiotics for rabbits are saccharomyces cereviciae (brewer’s yeast) and enterococcus…[Read more]

@Louiethebunny I have a bun who snores too! 😆 (Well, on her behalf, I only caught her doing it once 😉 )

I know it can be very difficult, especially since you unexpectedly got this rabbit, but keep in mind the rabbit is not intentionally trying to make you upset– he’s acting like a rabbit, and sometimes that doesn’t fit too well with what we humans want at certain times. For example, running around back and forth very loudly at night is very…[Read more]

Firstly, is the “foul smell” from poop distinctively different than territorial poops? It is natural for rabbits, especially ones not neutered/spayed, to have more territorial poops, that are sort of coated in an oil. A lot of people relate it to an onion-y smell. I have a spayed female who still poops onion-smell occasionally. If it is…[Read more]

Ah that’s good to know, thanks! Yeah our vet just noticed them during a normal vaccinations and checkup appointment. The vet has impressed us when operating on one of our other rabbits so we do trust them with anaesthetic etc. – always a bit nervous still! Interesting that hay eating wears them down, Pebbles loves hay more than any other bun I…[Read more]
