I agree with Dana that a rabbit smelling and being dirty is unusual if the rabbit is healthy and the litterbox is being cleaned regularly. I am also curious about your routine and cleaning method.

Also, is he neutered? Unfixed rabbits can leave more fragrant droppings due to oils from marking.

Thank you for all of your advice. I would prefer to get a pet sitter but we don’t actually know how long we are going for so it could be longer than a month. For that reason I would not want to leave them and it would be extremely expensive to pay for a petsitter for that long.

So I shouldn’t actually take them out of the carrier at all? Should I…[Read more]

He is most likely going through bunny puberty, and after the surgery his hormones should be calmed down, and while he may not go back to exactly who he was before, his behavior will definitely change for the better. Keeping him in a pen for a few days should be fine as long as he has room.

I use a metal rack that is meant to hold spare toilet paper rolls. I’ve also seen people use similar looking racks meant to store plastic bags. I just use a clip to attach it to the side of the cage.

There really shouldn’t be a lot of odor or pee staining with any litter if you clean the litter box regularly. How often do you clean it? Is it possible he has a medical issue and is urinating on himself?

Rather, I think you would just want to take a lot of breaks to make sure they eat and drink, because a lot of rabbits won’t eat in a moving car. But, some get used to it and start eating, and eventually will sleep.

I know some members here have…[Read more]

Just fyi if you anyone (guilty) bought a tiny hay rack online or from a pet store in haste…. if it’s wooden, you can actually knock every other bar out and it’s usable. I have alfalfa hay hanging in that one, and I use a  wooden wine box for orchard hay. I put paper litter in his litter box towards the back, and a handful of timothy up…[Read more]

I know it is a very long time. I would much rather leave them at home but I feel that it is way too long to leave them. I was definitely planning on feeding them and giving them water throughout the trip. Should I give them critical care or just mush up some food and put it in a syringe? I am going to bring some of their favorite treats along so I…[Read more]
