You’re welcome ^_^

We have quite a thick layer of hay in the boxes and our buns tend to poop in one corner. The poop doesn’t stick when they lay down in it. We also have the hay racks above their boxes, so they add small layers of hay to the box while they nibble.

Sometimes we scoop the poop out with an old spoon, but most of the time we leave…[Read more]

Thank you! I was going to buy one awhile ago but completely forgot about it. I’m not sure if I can find one to fit dahlias litterbox size but if that’s the case I’ll just order one from here. What do you do about the poops on top?

If she likes to lounge there, how about putting a plastic grid in the box? Top it with hay so she can relax, and the pee will drop through the holes onto the pellets (or whichever litter you’re going to choose).

Yes, that does sound like dribbling instead of marking. It’s really good that you called the vet, I hope that she’ll be well soon!

About marking:

We’ve got a girl who’s spayed, but marking again now her brother is ill. Rabbits can do that when they’re upset or when they want to challenge for dominance.

She leaves big puddles and small heaps…[Read more]

Oy, get that camera out of my face! Taking pictures of my turds for Pete’s sake, you humans are all barking mad! She’s crazy, crazy I tell you! Komple’t meshuggah! And I live with this woman!

Ladies and gentlemen: we have poop! 🥳

He’s finally eating pellets after being mostly on CC, vegetables and a couple of nibbles of hay for almost a week.…[Read more]

Nope, he’d only be a dwarf if he were born in a family of Flemish Giants 😉 He’s going to become quite a big boy (or girl), looking at the size of the ears. Rabbits are often mis-sexed when they’re young because everything is still so small.

Beautiful colouring though, I think it’s called agouti.

Have you taken him to a vet yet for a basic intake…[Read more]

Not wild — you can look here on guidance for identifying wild rabbits: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Wild_rabbits#Is_the_rabbit_I_found_wild_or_domestic?

The ears are thicker and the head is not the typical wedge — those are the obvious indicators to me that you just have a domestic rabbit with the agouti fur pattern often associated with wild…[Read more]

Oh yay, happy dance!!!

Thank you both so much!  I’ve never tried a squeegee before, but I will now!  It seems like it wouldn’t do a ton with Sheepette since it’s so fluffy, but certainly worth a try!

Dahlia, to your question, I’m now trying the layers suggested on disabledrabbits(dot)com, which is a rug, then a pee pad, then a towel, then something like Sheepette on t…[Read more]

Oh thank you so much, Bam!!  This is really helpful.  You are so kind to look into this and ask your mother for me!  (And I’m glad she had such a good birthday, thanks to your efforts.:)  I’m so grateful!

I’m not sure anyone knows why rabbits do this, but they very often do. It is a friendly thing though, even if it can hurt when they dig on you. Sometimes they bite your clothes too, and they can make holes in them, so it’s wise not to wear your best clothes when you hang out with your bun.

It could be that human clothes are “unnatural” for…[Read more]

I read the link, and the machine they’re talking about isnt really cold laser, it’s infrared light.

My mum is a physiotherapist and has treated many patients incl dogs with cold laser. I asked her about infrared light therapy. She says it’s a waste of money.

Good cold laser machines are very, very expensive.

No it’s was more just then colour and ears because his ears don’t really suggest Netherland as they are quite long

thank you, Bam!!

I dont think he is wild, but I dont think he looks like a Nethie either.

Wild rabbits are a lot more skittish than domesticated rabbits. They’re very difficult to handle because of this.

Hooray — that’s wonderful!  😀  Flopping is a terrific sign.  As they say, pain management is such an important part of overcoming stasis.  Way to go! 🙂
