Oh, I kept amano shrimp too! Those guys are awesome. I also had a short stint with a bamboo shrimp, they like to sit in the current and they have fine filaments on their front arms to catch microorganisms. Mine was called Babe Ruth because I don’t know anything about baseball, in fact, I really don’t like baseball at all, but it was the only…[Read more]

Hi there, I read your whole post and I am confused at the timeline. Did you have Oreo since before October and had her spayed in that month? In six months post-spay the hormones will have been eliminated so she should be going to the litter box on her own. Contrary to what most people think, there’s not a lot of actual training involved with…[Read more]

I am really sorry you went through this.

I agree with Bam, no animal that is a marked carrier of any disease should be bred. There is not a certainty that the babies will have it, but they are very likely to pick it up from her.

EC is opportunistic in most cases. Lots of rabbits (like the mother) can host it, and never actually be effected by…[Read more]

Females tend to be more territorial than males from what I can tell.

My little lady is the most gorgeous snuggly bunny in the world. Until she’s not.

She gets the wrong scent and she is a tiny little witch. She is bonded to one of my males, but I have two other males that she is not bonded to and she is very aggressive about that (to the extent…[Read more]

@Bunstar  I have red cherry shrimp and some amanos! And Sparkling gourami are indeed the ones that croak! They can be really loud sometimes, it’s crazy coming from such a small fish!   And I too wish I had a couch that buns could snuggle with me on, but my apartment is small so we don’t have space for a couch, so I just end up hanging out on th…[Read more]

In my experience rabbits are very intelligent creatures! Definitely on par with a cat and even more some dogs. They do respond well to training, if you google clicker training rabbits you will find all sorts of amazing things they can learn. Your bun sounds like he would love some training. It’s great for enrichment and building your relationship…[Read more]

As Dface mentioned, Fibafirst was one of the foods that came to mind (although it is a bit pricey depending on where you are). Since molars haven’t been checked, I definitely recommend finding a rabbit specialist to get to the bottom of things!

I’m very sorry your bun got EC. It can be a grave disease, as you know, and it’s not known why some buns recover and some buns dont.

In my opinion, a doe that has tested positive for EC should not be bred. The babies have a high likelihood of getting infected in the womb. I dont know if all babies absolutely will become infected, but it is clear…[Read more]

Thanks for that i will have a look now and yes they are in the garden most of the day supervised but if i am busy in the house they have a big x pen so i just leave them in there with toys plenty of hay and water! They are happy little bunnies

For a hutch outdoors, I find this site has some good guidelines. http://www.therabbithouse.com/outdoor/rabbithutch.asp (see menu to the right for extra advice on hutches). Of course, there will be different considerations depending on where you live. The sort of weather proofing you would need to do and securing the hutch from predators. I read in…[Read more]

Thank you so much, it worked! I forgot I left my sample profile pic up all night, too. I never thought of re-sizing my own picture, I wouldn’t know how anyway.

Gah, I love it, thanks!

Hi there, Rubylove

Im sorry you had this happen. Ruby sounds like she’s been a great little rabbit up until this incident, so I see why it was a shock. I would 100% attribute this to you having the scent of the new rabbit on you. Rabbits don’t necessarily see us in great detail, we are more outlines to them, but they have keen sense of hearing…[Read more]
