Interesting, so it is rather similar to parrots just a little less severe? I intend to adopt an older pair from a rescue in my state so I will clarify with the rescue on their chewing habits before I determine what I’ll line their pen with.

So the litter box I have now, the gray one, has the dimensions 18″x15″x5″. I looked up a few dish bussing trays on amazon, but the dimensions are either smaller or the same. I think the dimension I have now is too small for both of them to fit.

How many liters was the dish bussing tray you have? It seemed like 8L or 13L dish bussing trays were…[Read more]

Here’s a good website that lists information on pellets and ways to discern “good” from “bad”. There are many pellet brands that hit all the needed markers, in which case it is up to owner preference and accessibility to a certain extent on which you feed: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Pellets

All of Oxbow’s adult pellet varieties do indeed do…[Read more]

The go-to phrase I’ve heard is that cotton is “safest” because it’s most natural and therefore has a better chance of breaking down in the GI — whether there is truth in that, I don’t know. In general, rabbits can and will chew on mainly everything, so it is being mindful of what material they are actively ingesting in large quantities that is…[Read more]

I wouldnt ssy cotton is safe for buns if they ingest it. Many buns only chew fabric though, and wont actually eat it. For rabbits, fleece is often recommended, if they hapoen to ingest a tiny bit of fleece, it’s likely to come through.

I never give a rabbit cotton unless I know it’s a rabbit that won’t actually eat it. They will make holes in…[Read more]

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]

I guess that makes sense. Thanks for responding!

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]

Are they cecotropes?

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.

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.”
