Glad the sheet works! And yes, rabbit-appropriate floor is imperative for a rabbit to actually be able to exercise comfortably. Rabbits do not have pads on their feet like dogs and cats, so they are just wearing fuzzy socks 24/7. Inappropriate flooring can not only lead to joint issues down the line, but generally hampers a rabbit’s ability to…[Read more]

There are some suggestions/pictures/descriptions here of rabbit-safe ‘bathing’ methods: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Bathing_rabbits

In tandem with those techniques, I recommend trying to find flooring that will pull moisture away as quickly as possible and not stay stagnant as a puddle on the ground. Personally, I’ve found Sheepette to be amazing at this.

It is safest to assume it really doesn’t come into play — puberty can really change some rabbits, while others just go with the flow and seem “the same”. The most informed guesses about bonding compatibility only comes after rabbits are at least 1mo post-spay/-neuter, which is when they are no longer hormonal.

Yes, a baby bond is not a true…[Read more]

Okay great, thanks for clarifying that! I will stick to an 30 mins to an hour for now until the weather warms up a bit more 🙂

I believe Bella used to be an outdoor bunny before we rescued her anyway so might be more acclimated to the temps.

I accidentally answered your question with my reply to another comment in more detail, but yes, a vet determined they had not dropped.

I hope I am replying correctly, this forum interface is really clunky on my phone.

Thanks so much for the sheets idea. I went ahead and lined the inside of his cage with sheets at night and he’s been sleeping like a champ and not shaking the enclosure. I’ve also started letting him out for supervised bink times where I cover our rugs and cou…[Read more]

If your rabbit is not prone to eating/destroying fabric, a handmade hay feeder out of cloth would be fine — I’d aim for 100% cotton just in case. Make sure the holes are a safe size (i.e., not one where they can get stuck in it).

Amazon sells TONS of baby stacking cups! There are some really cute pink/nude stacking cups that I want to get for my bun but they’re made of silicone, so now I’m kind of hesitant. I don’t want to buy anything chewable!

Hi DanaNM,

Thanks for the above. I just wanted to update you and ask what your thoughts were, given you’re experienced in this scenario!

We have set up two indoor pens for Honey and New 2 and they have been living in each for around a week. I’ve swapped them over every day and have been brushing with the same brush etc etc.

Honey will nip New 2…[Read more]

Okay, but Jinx and his cactus bed are both so cute! I’m looking for a bed for my 3 month bun… but I don’t want anything chewable. That looks adorable, where did you buy it?

It’s not possible to say if this is your anxiety or an actual bun health problem. It doesn’t sound like you need to rush him to the vet, but I can’t say that your worries are totally unfounded – as I’m sure you understand.

Sorry I forgot to mention but I have always been feeding her timothy hay from Oxbow. I have another rabbit (4 years old) who eats from the same batch and I dont see any problem with him.
