Ellie, I’m so deeply sorry to read this.

We all came to love Breintje through everything you wrote about him. He was truly special. It really is rare for rabbits to seek out their human when they’re unwell, Breintje must’ve had complete trust in you. As a fellow bun owner I find this lovely and comforting.

He had a long and wonderful life. I’m…[Read more]

Thanks for the response, that last picture in the link really looks like him. Almost exactly actually other then maybe being a little smaller. It really helps since i can look up specific care tips. That mark could be him escaping, could be a smaller animal, it looks like dried blood or dirt, haven’t really wanted to handle it too much to look as…[Read more]

That sounds like some good progress! Keep up the good work!

Yep, the MedGene vaccine is not a live vaccine… but it does not require animals to produce either.

Yes, that would be sad. It would make sense though. As JG described below, there are other markings found in the Hotot breed. They are the by-products of trying to get that signature look (all white with black around the eyes). It isn’t unusual for breeders to sell these as pets. But an irresponsible breeder may feel the need to get rid of them if…[Read more]

This is where I read about different  markings on Hotots.

Yes, I agree that he’s probably a hotot (Blanc de Hotot) pronounced “Ho-Toe”.

Normally I’d be quick to say he’s likely a mixed breed, bring a stray, but that eye matk abs no other black is very indicative of Hotot. The blue eyes make it even more likely.

I looked it up earlier and there are actually Hotot born with just the one eye band. It’…[Read more]

So I followed your advice and got rid of the litter boxes and put down pee pads where I would normally put the litters. I have noticed a decrease in nips and snuffles. One date lasted 1.5 hours and we didn’t have any nipping at all. 🙂

They are both relaxing around each other still, and I’ve noticed Winter is laying down on her stomach more oft…[Read more]

Thanks! We figured it would be more masculine since we found out that he was a he not a she. All our buns are named after supernatural characters.

Oh well at least i know im not doing something wrong haha. I will likely be trying to take it to a vet this weekend or so, I hope they will at least do low cost/break even as I understand they need to make money too. But yeah this was unexpected but i couldn’t just let the him die.

Thank you for the reply. Glad you got it working 🙂 His eye color is blue. if someone dumped him over eye markings that would be sad.

Ruby Tuesday is a super cute name! 😀

That’s great you are able to travel so easily with your rabbit. For future reference, the new domestic vaccine does not require any live rabbits to produce, which is super exciting!

And for anyone coming across this thread, Filivac and Eravac do require live rabbits to produce, but my understanding is that thousands of doses are made from 1…[Read more]

The site has been having issues with media uploading, it’s not just you!

I would definitely recommend getting in touch with a rescue if there’s one in your region. They maybe be able to help with medical costs and spay/neuter given the circumstances.

I managed to get the videos to work. You have to click on them. In the second video, you can see a black band around his other eye. What color are his eyes? I’m wondering if he is a Hotot without the proper markings.

Hmmm. You bring up some good points. Once the flemmies are rebonded, we need to at least give the four leaf clover of buns 🍀  a try. If not we will do the different levels, as that sounds like a great idea.

R.T was supposed to be a girl, but the owner got it wrong. We only found out when they both went in to be fixed.

pictures are always a…[Read more]

Thanks for the response, ill try to get some better pictures up(not letting me for some reason, saying i can’t add to this post), shame my videos didn’t work too. Your site is kinda hard to post media lol(no offense) or i could just be really bad haha.  I feel really bad for it too, thats why i wanted to do something about it, especially with it…[Read more]
