@Hazel From what I was told, the parents had been wandering the neighborhood long before the breeders moved in. The breeders showed up in January, but the parents had been around for at least a year before that.

@LBJ10 I looked at some photos online and the closest breed I can see is the Standard American Rabbit. The New Zealands are longer and…[Read more]

Welcome! Being a first-time rabbit owner is not a small task, but it sounds like you’re taking initiative to learn, and that’s what’s most important!

I agree with Bam that the best “first scan” of information comes from looking at the RABBIT INFO portion of this website. There’s a lot there and the BB forum community is happy to help to clarify…[Read more]

Sounds similar to what my little dude does. He’ll kinda run around my feet and dart around then go to his spot and flop down, probably because he’s so tired.

A many more than 24 hour update:

No more scuffling or fur pulling still 🙂 earlier however Nutmeg mounted Pebbles a couple of times (we think triggered by the excitement of my dad, who doesn’t see them often, coming to pet them) but she didn’t seem to care and they’ve been snuggling and affectionate since. We’re now thinking maybe the scuffle…[Read more]

Oh thanks! That one does look cute and the several subscription options are appealing too. I’ll have to look further into that one I appreciate it!

Congratulations and very welcome to Binky Bunny!

We have a bunny info page, where you can find general tips and ideas about bunny care, diet, bunny proofing etc. https://binkybunny.com/house-rabbit-information/

I cant think of any special needs a baby lionhead would have. As she grows, her fur will (obviously!) grow, and brushing will (again,…[Read more]

I’m so grateful that I asked for help from such a helpful and understanding community..☺

I’ll keep you guys posted about them..<3

It was so nice of you to adopt these rabbits.  If you wanted to give your general location, you may get some vet suggestions if there are people who live in your area.

Even though you say the rabbits are cuddling and happy together, it would be best to separate them until they have been neutered and have gone through a bonding routine…[Read more]

It is wonderful of you to take them in. Maybe you could ask shelters/rescues in your area what vet they use? Here is the HRS list of rabbit vets, per US states:

They are marking their way through your home now, much like male cats would do. Be very vigilant, if they get into a bad fight they can hurt each other…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the advice DanaNM!!! I’m gonna have to try the clicker training thing. Seems really interesting and fun. I look forward to the day when Alaska really starts to trust me. 😀  She’s for sure worth the wait. So cute how Bunston would do that!!! Love seeing bunnies play.

Ok thankyou alaska

Sometimes the testicles don’t drop… sometimes they are just misgendered. What’s interesting is that they said they were 50-50 on boy-girl, so were they looking at the shape of the genitals? Sometimes bunnies can be a little bit ambiguous down there. Males can be split and hermaphrodites are not unheard of.

If you wait a couple of weeks and the…[Read more]

Considering there is a meat breeder nearby, I’m going to guess they are probably New Zealand (or similar breed) or a mix of “meat” breeds.

This is a very sad story, I do hope the parents can be found and rescued as well. Catching the babies and finding them homes was absolutely the right thing to do.

I agree with the advice you’ve received. They…[Read more]

Aw, that’s sad. 🙁  I bet they escaped from that meat breeder.

@@DanaNM Yes, they are my little adorabuns. Now you see why I am a wreck. Do you know what type of rabbits they are? I just assumed they were cottontails because of their bushy little cotton tails. Lol

@@Hazel Unfortunately,  I have no idea. I believe the father was found left by a coyote. The mother disappears for a couple weeks and then…[Read more]
