The smell faded a bit after I used vinegar and water spray but I still smell it if I hold it up to my face. I could put them outside for a day maybe? Then clean them again when I bring them in. Is it okay if it just smells a little?

Thanks for the advice on the pellets. Hay cubes are going to be here soon. I will try the oxbow stacks too. Just curious – what’s the main difference between the stacks and cubes? I got the impression they were the same.

Hmmm, I would prob do both (air it out then cover it). If airing out doesn’t help I might return them. As a rule I wouldn’t want anything very strong smelling to use in a bunny area.

@Thorbunny It really is a great rescue! Unfortunately those are just the exercise pens so they do spend most of their time in a hutch, but we do the best we can! We wish we could have full pen set ups for all the buns 24/7 but it wouldn’t be safe overnight and we just don’t have the space. The buns get about 4-8 hours of exercise time daily,…[Read more]

@ThorBunny – Oh he has his moments, he just does it lazily :D. As in I caught him flopped under the outside chair happily chewing away, luckily he was happy to chew the toy I gave him instead.

@DanaNM so many cute buns at your shelter! If you were close I would have to meet up with Sven and see if him and Dorian would get along 😀 Though they are…[Read more]

Don’t loose hope! Bunnies are funny creatures, and can take a long time to warm up to you.

Thor came from a rescue and was found outside, not socialized and was very aggressive and skittish when we first adopted her. That was 3 and half years ago. In the first 6 months we saw big improvements (started accepting petting, more comfortable around…[Read more]

@princedorianthebun – He’s so darling when flopped! Count yourself lucky he’s not out destroying everything 😛

@DanaNM and Hazel, you guys are good at reading bunny facial expressions! She was definitely a bit grumpy with me for sticking a phone in her face during nap time, “excuse me hooman, I was napping… can I HELP you?”

Dana, I love all…[Read more]

Welcome back Bladesmith!

Loki is SUCH a handsome fellow. Is he a Flemish Giant? I’ve always had a soft spot for the Flemmies 🙂 I really wanted one but we currently live in a tiny apartment…

LOL nahhhhh, right now I somehow have a magical group of three that doesn’t chew and has impeccable litter box habits (well, aside from Bun Jovi’s sleep pooping, but he’s an old man so I can’t blame him) so I can finally have free-roam bunnies. I don’t think I want to risk bringing a crazy young boy into that mix! He was running the fence with…[Read more]

Welcome back!! He’s soooo handsome and regal!

I’m very glad you spoke to your vet! I do hope you can figure out a source of hay that works for you, because hay is important for dental health and mental stimulation, in addition to the functioning of the gut (which needs lots of fiber). In addition to the hay cubes, you might give the oxbow stacks a shot.

There are some pellet brands that are…[Read more]

That seems like a lot to me. I would focus more on alfalfa and weigh her regularly. As LBJ10 mentioned, young bunnies can be pretty lean and that’s OK.

That’s great! Hoping you can start find some that agree with her. Cilantro and romaine are generally well tolerated. 🙂

I want to provide an update here, in case it’s ever useful for anyone else in a situation like this. maybe it’ll provide perspective to someone or give them hope instead of giving up on their rabbit. sorry it’s long i was trying to be thorough… hope it’s useful.

things have greatly improved over the past 24 hours. it turns out, this was all…[Read more]

an actual bedroom, sorry why will the fleece be at the bottom of the plastic? Does it make it more cushiony? @Moonlightbunny66
