Hello, and absolutely love the updates!! Congratulations on graduation and marriage, in addition to having such a wonderful family.

While forum activity is slow, we still have some wonderful members popping in with updates and need for support. Many senior buns have passed, but as is our nature, we tend to rescue more and keep our hearts…[Read more]

6-7 lb isnt a lot for a Flemish, so he’s definitely still young and growing. (I looked at a growth chart for Flemish giants, it’s from a breeder so I can’t link to it, but I  found it with google. 6.5 is the minimum weight when you can show a junior Flemish).

The forum has been slower. We are still here though 😃

Hey there!

I know I’m pretty late to the conversation, but I hope you and Helen have gotten settled into your new home by now. 🙂

I just wanted to offer some words of encouragement.  Don’t beat yourself up for being a “bad pet owner”. The fact you are here asking for advice proves otherwise! 😀 New or first pets can be overwhelming and your…[Read more]

I buy timothy by the bale from a local feed shop. The quality is excellent and my buns love it.  And you can’t beat the price either.

I recommend checking out your local feed shops and see what they have. Any grass hay is suitable for buns.

Sorry I’m replying so late, the website is TBBToys (the one with parts to make toys) and a shop I’d also recommend buying toys from is LittlePawsPetToys on Etsy. I’ve bought from both shops and they’re awesome, my bunny really liked the tire toy from LPPT.

Aww! That’s a good bun name. I bet he’ll grow to be a hansom guy.

The forum has been slower lately. We were having some technical problems for a while, so that may have had something to do with it. We’re still here though.

Awww, Bam, I wondered if you would! You named her, after all!🧡🐰

I’m not sure how much he weighs. I want to guess between 6-7lb. Which I know is still pretty small. Now I’m curious! I will have to see if I can get him on a scale. 🙂

Oh, and we have named him Arthas, after the main bad guy in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion of World of…[Read more]

Good news, now you know for sure!

I agree with LBJ, if he’s not too obnoxious hormone-wise, it’d be in his best interest to wait a while more with the neuter. It will help him grow good strong bones and good stablizing muscle, which he’ll need since he will always be carrying a lot of weight.

How much does he weigh now?

I remember Butternut…[Read more]

That’s great Brunosmama! The mystery has been solved! Yep, it’s never a good idea to assume with mystery bunnies. I’m going to guess the shelter just didn’t bother and took the owner’s word, which is unfortunate. But I’m sure you would have figured it out sooner or later anyway. 😉  If he isn’t being crazy hormonal, then I say give him a couple…[Read more]

So, I took a peek today and…..he appears to be a fully locked and loaded boy bun lol. He does indeed have testicles (at least one, he was squirmy so I didn’t get a good look at the other). He must have pulled a Houdini for the shelter vet and they just took the owners word lol.

So, now I’m thinking he is not quite as old as they think either.…[Read more]

would you be able to send me the name of the shop too if that’s okay please?

Hi Rainn!

I know I’m a little late to the conversation, but I just wanted to share that I have had buns do this before, too. It usually turns out to be a particular batch they find offensive, even if it’s the same that they always eat lol. I think your idea of trying some new hays to pique her interest is a good idea!

At least it sounds like…[Read more]

Thank you, Bam and LBJ!

Yeah, I’m wondering if it was a case of the previous owner said they did, the vet examined him, and if they weren’t dropped yet, maybe just took their word for it.

When he gets a little more settled, I will take a peek myself. He has impeccable litter box habits so far and doesn’t exactly have that distinct “intact boy”…[Read more]

I remember the vet saying “oh boy, was he neutered” when she first saw him. LOL  Now… you can’t even tell. His empty sacks shrank and you can’t really see them now.

Congrats on your new bun, Bruno’s mama!

A ver can express a bun’s testicles if they have descended but arent readily showing (as you know, rabbits can pull in their testicles under certain circumstances, like when they’re stressed during a vet visit). I agree it seems a bit unusual that someone who got a bun as an unwanted gift would spend time…[Read more]
