Activity

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

Thank you! That’s a picture of my old New Zealand White named Mr. Bunny. He was a very good boy.

Average rabbit lifespan is around 8-12 years. Spaying is very important for the females, since it prevents ovarian and uterine cancer – which affects a large amount of rabbits, especially if they never bear a litter. Neutering is more of a behavioral…[Read more]

Also I think your rabbit picture is cute @FluffyBunny

To answer that question I have 1 more question. How long do New Zealand rabbits live with the spay/neuter surgery?

Based on my experiences with the HRS in Colorado (volunteer for 5 years), it was common to have older rabbits at the shelter. There were occasionally rescue cases where young strays, etc. had a litter, but most of the rabbits the shelter took in were former pet rabbits who were already 2-3 years old.

Is this your first rabbit? If so, you might…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I wish he would eat alfalfa hay. He only nibbles softest part of it. I will definitely try oat hay ( he is crazy about oats, which he has 1 teaspoon once a week) and hay troopers next.

Thank you for your reply. I will give him approximately 1/3 of cup of Oxbow young rabbits pellets in the morning and in the evening ( he is always hungry for it). He will eat some greens or 2-3 small pieces of green vegetables at lunch. He is very active and playful, but I am still worried

Since he is young still, alfalfs is appropriate for him. Young buns need the extra protein and calcium and will by instinct go for the richest food available.

Things you can try ito get him to eat more grass are: Change type of hay. There are many types of hay. Its not just Timothy that is appropriate for bunnies. Any grass hay that horses can…[Read more]

Can you provide some information on the daily feeding schedule he expects? So what time(s) you feed him, the quantity of the foods, etc.

It is not unusual for a rabbit to not eat “enough” hay — there are some rabbits who are hay monsters and need no help with their hay appetite, but a good number do need a bit of encouragement. Hay, for many…[Read more]

A wonderful vantage point for Louie! Rabbits often like to rest on elevated spots!
