Mine lived on our enclosed porch with screen windows for the first year of their life. Where I live we have brutal winter and hot humid summers.

I brought them inside this past January and they live in part of my hallway and I have large dog crates for them which they love. They have full rein of the hallway which is really big from early morning…[Read more]

My rabbit is a two-year-old Netherland Dwarf, and recently his eye has turned red and has a white blob. What could it be, and how can I  help her

I drove cross country with my buns a couple years ago over about 6 days. I think our longest day was 9 hrs, and that was too long. 8 would be ok, but 6 would be better. We felt that around 6-8 hours was a good balance because you’re right that you don’t want the trip to take too long overall, but also you can’t push them too hard. The key is to…[Read more]

My impression on first read was that the porch area was more indoors than outdoors, but now it’s sounding more like it’s mostly outside? In a lot of places it’s pretty common for people to convert a shed into a bunny house. I would not keep them in the sunroom unless it’s fully enclosed. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, owls, hawks, possoms, bobcats,…[Read more]

Oxbow makes good pellets overall. I believe this was discussed before and we concluded that the molasses was in such a small quantity that it shouldn’t be cause for concern.

It depends on where you live though. In the US, Revolution cannot be purchased over the counter. As Bam said though, it is safe to treat for mites on suspicion. The photos don’t necessarily look like ear mites. The area does look read. If it’s flaking, it could be ringworm or something.

Thank you all, so encouraging to read your replies! It sounds like it is doable after all, and I’m so excited 🙂
To clarify, the barred side of the porch is only barred halfway to the roof. Is that a problem? I’ve never seen birds of prey in our area, and if there are some, would they come into a mostly-enclosed area after the rabbits? (It’s…[Read more]

Oxford red bag rabbit pellets is a high quality rabbit feed. If you want to you can of course transition your buns to Garden Select when they’re about to finish your current red bag. You mix the old pellets with the new with more and more of the new pellets over say a week. But the red bag feed is quite fine.

It does look a bit red.

Revolution (selamectin)  is considered rabbit safe, and it is the best antiparastic for treatment of rabbit mites. It’s a spot-on, which means you apply it on the skin between the rabbit’s shoulderblades. Rabbits can’t reach to lick between their shoulder blades. You can treat with Revolution on suspicion of mites, but in…[Read more]

I have a 7 year old and we have had our 2 bunnies for over a year now. My daughter for the most part does well with them as far as petting them gently. Sometimes she gets a little rough with them and they will let her know because they growl at her.

my daughter knows she can’t pick them up. She helps me sometimes with getting them in their c…[Read more]
