ok cool!

Ice cubes are OK to play with. But I agree with Wick on her suggestions. 🙂

Yep, and a false dwarf is going to weigh a little more than the “standard” max weight for the breed. 🙂

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, he’s the only one and I’m a first timer so I’m trying to research as much as possible. It’s a learning experience! H’es becoming so curious and I love it, so I want to give him space to explore his new home, he discovered the wonderful world of our stairs last night and it’s been hilarious!!

Dorian is a very handsome fella! Love his name too. 🙂

Pooping indeed is something he’ll want to do and as mentioned, it will probably reduce over time. He’s in a new place and as a prey animal, he wants to make it feel secure and safe. A big part of that is marking so he smells his scent around… thus the poop.

Sparse hair at the back base of the ears is common and normal, but the spot between the shoulder blades is, as you’ve probably read, a typical place where mites can fester, because the bun cant groom himself there.  Fur mites are easy to treat, and many buns dont seem bothered by them until…[Read more]

I agree that excitement or general energy surrounding the fruit may be contributing to it. Since choking is a serious risk (even when successfully dislodged, it can damage the respiratory system in local areas and cause infection), best be safe and make those pieces especially small.

Thank you! We are so happy she’s feeling better too!
