My bunny Metoo, a white mini-lop, will be ten years old in October. We have been very careful with the types of food we feed him since his purchase almost ten years ago at the age of 8 weeks. We mostly feed him oaten hay, Oxbow adult rabbit pellets and some veggies after he became an adult. But over the past month or so he has been losing weight,…[Read more]

Does your bunny chew constantly or just take “test bites” here and there? I agree that bunnies will naturally want to test boundaries and a little nibble on the bars just to make sure they are solid isn’t going to hurt anything.

As Adrian says, putting hay in the litterbox and adding  several “hay stations” around the bunny area can help up hay consumption. Rabbits seem to like “found” hay better than served hay. Just putting small piles of hay here and there on the floor can help. One of my buns eats a lot of hay if he can sneak into the hay source, aka the big hay bag.…[Read more]

What type of peeing are you observing? Litter trained rabbits can start to pee outside the box for both normal reasons and abnormal.

A normal reason for peeing outside the box is pee marking. It often, but not always, means pee spraying. The rabbit often chooses the humans’ favorite spots, like their beds or on the sofa. A rabbit that starts to…[Read more]
