Owlet started the topic is cotton really safe? in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 4 years ago
So, i come from the world of parrots where cotton is heavily frowned upon because chewing it can cause crop impaction since it doesnt properly digest unlike other fibers like jute, hemp, sisal, etc. I know rabbits are WORLDS different from parrots but I keep hearing that cotton is safe for rabbits, presumably those that may chew it. Is that true?

Welcome to the forums! Thank you for rescuing these rabbits!
You are correct, in order for them to be bonded, they should be de-sexed. Males are as a rule cheaper to neuter than females, so you could perhaps start with the male/s, if you have male/s. Keep in mind though that a male bun can have viable sperm for up to 4-5 weeks, so its not safe to…[Read more]

Hi I’m new to this forum.
I rescued some bunnies which I hope to free roam around the house someday but right now I can’t put them together because they fight and none of them are fixed. I plan on getting them all fixed once I find a vet that is cheap. They all appear to be healthy. I did have to treat one of them because she was kept in very bad…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic pellets, mixed information in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years ago
When people say to use pellets that don’t have “junk” in them, they are referring to the pellet mixes that have pellets combined with colored cereal pieces, whole seeds, dried fruit, etc. Oxbow Garden Select does not contain this “junk”. You will only find pellets in the bag. The pellets are made primarily of grass hay, but there are other…[Read more]

Owlet started the topic pellets, mixed information in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years ago
Hello, I’m interested in getting a rabbit sometime in the future when I have more living space. I am going a lot of research and shopping around now just to get an idea of costs and what not.
There’s a rescue I intend to get a pair of rabbits from when I’m ready and I was reading through their site, it goes through the diet they recommend and…[Read more]

I’m slightly concerned about him again. I cleaned out his litter box this morning and all of his poop looked perfect, but this afternoon I found a bunch of wet, dark, and mushy poop in his litter box. He is acting fine and eating normally, but I’m worried that he could have been exposed to some of the antibiotics that I’m giving my cat (Clav…[Read more]

I have a “rabbit vacuum” and a “regular vacuum”. Yes, hay can clog up the vacuum. Hence why it’s not a bad idea to keep them separate. A cheap shopvac works great.

Something just occurred to me. I’m wondering if they are discontinuing because there isn’t a consistent source of recycled newspapers anymore? I mean, most people do not get newspapers anymore. It’s sad because I used Yesterday’s News for many years too.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Can rabbits catch Covid? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years ago
There have been no documented cases of natural infections. They proved in a lab setting that it was technically possible for the virus to replicate in the sinuses of a rabbit, but the rabbits in the experiment did not exhibit any symptoms. If COVID was a real concern with pet rabbits, then I think we would have heard something by now. We would…[Read more]

Yes. It’s just hay/fur/and poop (that gets stuck to their feet). He keeps changing his explanation but he mostly says that the hay will hurt the washer.

I asked him but he still threw it away. D:> He told me “no matter what you do the hay will stick and ruin our washer.”

Hey everyone. I’ve been looking online for information regarding whether or not rabbits can catch Covid from people. Most of the information that I’ve found says that while rabbits can technically become infected with Covid, they will not show any symptoms of it and cannot get sick or die from it. Does anybody know if this is true? Has anybody had…[Read more]

Unsure of all the litters offered by SPS, but SPS has a pine pellet litter as well that, in my experience, is identical to the Tractor Supply Co pine pellet litter many people use. SPS’ version is more expensive and seems to more reliably not smell like wood (i.e., scentless).

Is it just hay/fur/poop on the blankets or are they peeing on them? Just curious as to why your Dad is throwing them away. He doesn’t want all that to go in the wash? (I can understand that and use an old washing machine for my pet towels and blankets)
I’ve come to like fleece blankets that have a more “velvet” like look to them. They are still t…[Read more]
