Activity

You could try collard greens, romaine, bok choy, kale, and cilantro. These are all low in calcium and oxalic acid, but some may be high in vitamin A.

Alfalfa should also be avoided on a low calcium diet. Grass hay, in general, does not contain a lot of calcium.

Bunnies tend to poop less during their inactive times. Most bunnies tend to nap and lounge around during the day, so they may not poop much. Then they become more active in the evening and poop production increases.

I’m sorry. They are very fragile. He/she could have been suffering from shock.

Thank you for the advice!

How would I fix the problem of there being an odd one out? Tess certainly is. She has always been extremely flighty in general, even more so since I introduced her to Penelope. Now that chasing has subsided, she’s very slowly improving, but I need to put emphasis on “slowly.” She still runs away when Penelope and Gideon…[Read more]

Oh you made me feel at ease right now. I was just so worried I’m not giving my bun enough. I just don’t want to cause another problems with tummy. I read articles about how it is necessary to give them fresh greens but i literally cannot.

So i can have a healthy bun just with hay and pellets?

Thanks for the update!

Some bunnies do weirdly do better in less neutral territory, so this isn’t completely unheard of! The fact that you are seeing improvement is great, so I would stick with what you’re doing. The only real rule in bonding is to stick with that’s working, and ditch what isn’t. Overnights in general can be a source of…[Read more]

I think it’s time for another update!

I ended up bringing them to the kitchen as neutral territory — with the layout of my house, they needed to be brought in carriers, but with that and a drop-cloth for traction it became a good bonding zone — or so I thought! Penelope was even more aggressive in the kitchen even though she’d never been there…[Read more]

I agree with others :).

It’s worth mentioning that unspay female rabbits are highly prone to reproductive cancers, somewhere around the mark of 70% chance of cancer by age 34. When spayed this risk is eliminated.

Greens are not strictly necessary, and if they are causing issues then no need to stress over giving them. Some buns just don’t do well with greens for whatever reason.

Adding a variety of hays can help to give some variety in the diet. Some buns also do well on dried herbs even when they can’t handle fresh, so if you wanted to try that you…[Read more]

Thanks!!

Thats so true about the acclamation to your climate!

In the UK 17C (62F) is pretty much considered summer weather and peoole are often in shorts and T-shirts by 20C (68F). If it hits 30C (86F)  here it’s colloquially known as a heatwave lol!

Nope, bunnies are the only ones for me! (for now)

The person below me prefers summer over winter.

You really do acclimate to the temps you are in! And that is so true about the clothing and gear you have. My husband and I were amused at how much we’ve adjusted to New England weather. Coming out of winter a 45-50F (10C) day felt warm and we were just working outside in light jackets, but that would have been a really cold winter day in Southern…[Read more]

I’m unsure how old they are, but it is highly likely that she is already pregnant, unless they are under 12 weeks old. Since you’ve already had them a month I’m guessing they are older than 12 weeks.

With rabbit’s it’s not really an “if” they get pregnant… they WILL definitely get pregnant, and it happens within seconds, so you may never…[Read more]
