Looks like a Netherland mix or false Netherland. My false Netherland dwarf is fluffy because he is a baby so at this age, you can’t really tell by the coat. Defiantly adorable!!! Also, tractor supply sells bunnies??

You could also stack it and put one of the bunnies cage on top of the other.

I have a top-loading small dog midwest one. I like it a lot. It loads from the top which is really helpful for my runner. I would make sure it is hard-sided because it is safer. You could also try putting some bananas in the carrier or some other treat to help them go in.

Sounds like a good plan! I’m glad she found a home. 🙂 I’m sure they will enjoy each others company as neighbors, even if they can’t be bonded.

Yes that sounds pretty normal, as long as the skin isn’t flaky or scaly.

If you aren’t sure and it’s a new bun, one way to check is to offer a handful of hay first. if the bun takes a piece, they are feeling fine. If they snub the hay, you can try a favorite green. If they turn that down, you can try a treat. If they turn down any of the food, they are not feeling well, and if they even turn down a treat you know they…[Read more]

Thank you! Yeah when I heard all the staff acting so surprised (and doubtful) that Bun Jovi was 13 it didn’t give me a great feeling. Like I know most rabbits don’t make it past 12, but it mostly indicates that the practice as a whole doesn’t see a lot of rabbits. IMO, having the technicians be experienced with buns is just as important as the vet!

I dont know what went wrong, I can’t find a post from you that needs moderator approval.

I fed my Vilde 5-6 times per day (no feedings during the night) when he was acutely ill, then when he was stable, I reduced to 3 feedings, then two.

If Owen gnaws on hard things like enclosure bars, he could’ve chipped a teeth. Rabbit teeth of course grow…[Read more]

Yes, sometimes they may get bald spots from molting. Could u show a picture of it? Does the skin look the same all around?

I have no experience with elder buns, but the vet saying 5 – 6 years is the average age would have been a red flag for me. My vet went into great detail how bins could easily live to 12 years and more, and that was being pushed by a better understanding on how to treat them.

Hope Bun Jovi is able to find good management for his pain and you find…[Read more]

Something went wrong there: I tried to say “thank you! 😘” and it suddenly became a post that had to be moderated first.

Hahaha that’s an awesome expression! ;D

I’m so glad too!!  😀  He’s so lucky to have you taking such wonderful care of him. 🙂

Tbh I don’t know what’s best, I can barely tell sugar from shite after a week like this 🤣

All I know is that I’m happy that he’s eating on his own ^_^

Update- thanks for your advice! I decided to take her and attempt bonding. Lots of territorial disputes despite being in a neutral space. I did small introductions for a few days, and it seemed like they weren’t making much progress. If she hadn’t been elderly, I would have continued small play dates every day because I know it’s not typical for…[Read more]

For sure!  I’m sure that’s a good plan; please of course do what you think best.  🙂

PetSmart has a crumbled paper litter, Exquisicat.

Yes, I’d take it very slowly. I’d leave the pellets in their own bags, and add one of the new pellets to her bowl every day.

That’s how I switched our bunnies off junior pellets, and it went without a problem.
