Today during my shift I had someone film me getting Catalina to put her back in her hutch for the night. Ignore my rambling lol. She’s a pretty feisty one but doesn’t struggle too much once you’ve got her.

@pinkimarie it totally is a football hold!

This link should let you view the…[Read more]

Yes I think just stick to pre-bonding for now 🙂

The infamous short man complex!

Oh wow!

That is quite the development, and good to know the vet found the error!

I flagged this for the other moderators, as I know some of them have more knowledge than I do with adrenal issues. I have never heard of it in a female so this is very interesting.

Are you feeding 1/3 cup each meal, or spreading 1/3 cup between morning and night? 1/3 cup twice a day is a large amount, and even though younger rabbits can be free-fed pellets, you can adjust his pellets to only one time a day to encourage hay eating during the rest of the day, or cut down a little on pellets. I’ve been feeding my 7 mo rabbit…[Read more]

I agree, if you’re looking for a more temporary situation, you can try fostering rabbits, it’s less commitment, especially because you are leaving for college soon. I am also going to college in several years, but I’ve been contemplating several plans like my rabbit living at home for a few years with visits and such. If you are very committed to…[Read more]

Rabbit breed is not really an indication of how long they’ll live. It is good that you’re thinking towards the future and understanding that a healthy rabbit will go beyond what you anticipate your desires are for a pet. I agree with @FluffyBunny that it is not a good idea to adopt one with you knowing a “cut-off” point. Fostering would be more…[Read more]

Unfortunately it isn’t letting me upload pictures today but here is my favorite cat and bunny! https://m.imgur.com/a/v6kQIQe

I don’t want to discourage you lol we’ve been at it over a year, but I have a mini breed rabbit and 2 average sized buns. The mini bun broke into the big bun’s play area and she almost killed him…it was his fault, he was harassing her and she’s 4 times bigger than him. But I backed way off for a long long time because I was so freaked out about…[Read more]

This is kind of how I do it too, but with my particularly bad at being handled rabbit I have to cover his eyes, so I’m scooping with left, covering eyes with right, then up into a football hold (which he tries to kick out of every time). When practice hopefully your bun will feel comfortable enough with this to just allow it, which is ideal…[Read more]

It really depends on the individual animals but cats and rabbits can absolutely be friendly, or at least cohabitate nicely. The cat, depending on it’s personality, may need a lot of training with a spray bottle if it thinks the rabbits are toys or snacks. I have one small breed rabbit and one cat who likes to bother him occasionally. The general…[Read more]

Dorian loves a good flop.

In that case, have you considered fostering a rabbit for a shelter as opposed to adopting one? Especially right now with the pandemic and the rabbit RHD outbreak, a lot of shelters need foster homes. You’d be caring for a rabbit in your home for a period of weeks or months and then adopting them to a new family. Your local HRS chapter or Humane…[Read more]

Hello, update here!

So I’ve removed the pen, and they now have full use of the lounge again, because she was peeing so badly in the penned off space. I assumed she felt ownership of the pen, that it was her area, and therefore marking it lots.

i’ve found that she’s actually improved when she has to share the lounge with me, and not have her o…[Read more]

Thank you! But I am trying to figure out a breed of rabbit that lives a short life. Because I need it to not cut into my college
