Yup, I say Nethie mix as well. Super cute bun. 🙂

Do you know if the gum had aspertame in it? Used to sweeten a lot of gums and is toxic to bunnies. Whether it’s a problem would really depend on how much he ate.

Nice to “hear” from ya!!!! Your new dog is beautiful!!!!! She shimmers!

Sorry about the loss of Haven and your tortoise. 🙁

I think BB was still up when I added another bunny to the family, but in case you hadn’t seen, this is my Tommy. Unknown age. Shelter labelled him “aggressive” but he’s a complete teddy bear. He is living downstairs because…[Read more]

Ugh. So on the topic of feed, if it’s all over a year old now then great but what about later this summer? The disease will definitely spread more and more and it never occurred to me that the hay could be infected, so what do we do if and when this becomes endemic? Maybe an American company will begin making vaccines? How the vaccine itself is…[Read more]

You can start him on adult food now, but if you stillnhave more junior pellets left,  they’re fine until hes around 7 months. It’s very good that he’s on timothy hay now, it can be difficult to wean a rabbit on to grass hay, if it’s been on alfalfa hay.

There are adult pellets that contain alfalfa, but the total protein and calcium levels in…[Read more]

Outdoors time is probably best avoided now, until you can get the vaccine. We have had big outbreaks of this virus in Europe since 2016, and it is a horrible killer. The mortality rate is between 25-75%. If you bun has access to an outdoors run you could have mosquito netting around it.

It’s sad though because it’s such a great enhancement of…[Read more]

Does this mean I have to eliminate Marzi’s outside time altogether? He gets go both indoors and outdoors during his free roam time but he mainly sleeps inside and gets most of his exercise outside.

oh my gosh! my parents are exactly like that!

my dad is a little more willing on most things, my mom is always very skeptical and never says yes😭

maybe your parents will be a little easier to convince than mine

oh no. I’ve already asked them many many times and it has not worked, even when I present some reasons. hopefully your parents say yes!

Thank you for the tips! I think that if I get bunnies I’ll ask my parents to pay for veggies and vet care, because I’ll be paying for basically everything else. I think I might ask them if we can grow some stuff like lettuces and kale in our garden once we dog proof it. Last year my dogs got into it and ruined the garden, twice.😂

All good. It’s one of those rules membersbecome familiar with when they’ve been here a while. Hopefully older topics will automatically be closed to new replies with the updated forum changes.

You *could* expand the pellets and they would still have some absorbent qualities but it will likely be messier and not last as long. The hay cushion on…[Read more]

That he goes to eat hay is a good sign. He obviously knows he’s needing fibre then. It’s the best thing for him during those times. Rabbits will often snub their favourite things when they’re feeling “off”. You might find pellets are the last thing they  go back to showing interest in. But as long as they’re getting fibre in through hay, grass o…[Read more]

How old it he? He might be trying to mark the pee pads with his own scent.

I suggest taking the top off his litterbox for a while to encourage him to go in there more. Rabbits can tend to avoid things that have only one entry/exit point. It’s why they like hidey-boxes to have 2 holes and if it only has one, they’ll often make the second one themselves. 😉

At least you know how much he got. I would encourage hay, water, greens (if he already has those in his diet). That should help move the gum through. Monitor closely and see a vet it be stops pooping, eating or is showing discomfort.

He should be okay. We’ve had lots of owners report this happening… bunnies get up all sorts of things. Keep us p…[Read more]

She’s gorgeous, why would anyone have a problem with her color? Some people are just idiots, they’re probably jealous.

Thanks for the instagram, I’ll go check it out! 😀

“Why hop when you can flop?” That’s a perfect description of some buns, for example my bridge bunny Bam. He was very laid back. He could hop amazingly though, if he was motivated. His motivation was food. He once jumped from the floor right up in the air and landed in the bowl of fruit salad that I was holding in my hand. I had to wipe whipped…[Read more]
