After doing a little more research, I actually found a lady who told me that her bunny died after eating clumping litter from her cat's litter box! She told me her bunny died from an impaction, in less than 24 hours! Her story scared me enough, that I have started moving the litter boxes when I...

Happy has been with us for 3 months now. She has a pretty big cage for night time, and during the day we bought a play pen for her to be out in, but I felt bad using it, because it didn't seem like she had enough room to really run and play like she wanted to. I tried opening up the play pen and...

Azerane, I told my bf that I don't want Happy free roaming, not just for the cords, but also, I just feel like there is too much around here that she could get into. I thought it might be nice for her, but when I really thought about it more, I decided (like you said) it just isn't worth the...

Thanks everyone. The vet did check Happy's teeth. He told me about another bunny patient he had, whose teeth did not line up properly, and he had to trim so much off over time. He said Happy's teeth are lined up fine, and he doesn't anticipate any issues there. I was a bit worried at first...

Today was our first Vet visit for Happy! It turns out, I was right about Happy being a female! Yay me! Happy is very healthy, clean, and according to the Vet and Vet techs, very well behaved! Happy even let me show off, when I told the Vet she would come when I called her, and he decided to test...

Sterling would be an interesting take on the idea of naming her Silver. I like Gracie, because I think it fits well with Stellar. I also second the name Lilly, because I considered it for my new bunny. (My son ended up telling me he was dating a girl named Lilly, so I went with the name...

Thanks all, for the suggestions, and advice. Flemishwhite, your story answered another question my bofriend and I were wondering about which was if bunnies can be allowed to free roam without chewing. Happy almost never chews on anything other than food, so we were thinking we may eventually...

Some people say that bunnies need/like salt, and they will lick your skin because it tastes salty, like from sweat. Others claim rabbits lick more for affection and grooming. I am new to owning a rabbit, so I am no expert, but I can tell you my experience so far. I bought my rabbit, Happy, a...

After reading up more, my guess on coloration was chestnut agouti, and my guess on sex was female, based on the taco vs. donut hole theory. Still no clue on how to make a guess at age. As for breed, it was suggested to me that based on the shape of the skull, and the dewlap, and the size, she...

Thank you. And yes, the vet I already take my cats to is experienced with rabbits, which is good, because I really like our vet. They have fit me in when they didn't have any openings, when I was freaking out over something with one of my kitties, and even stayed open late for us. You can just...

This is my new bunny, Happy. Last Friday, my son came to me, and said he wanted to give me an early Christmas gift. At first, I said I should just wait, like everyone else, but my boyfriend said I better just let him give me this one right away. They had me sit on the couch, close my eyes, and...

Thank you. That is very helpful. So far, Happy hasn't cared much for the toys I chose, and doesn't play with them or chew them much. Happy seems to prefer leaping, and knocking over litter boxes, and trying to get the cats if they come into his/her area. (I just found out Happy may be a female.)...

One of the first things I did when I got Happy the bunny, is rush off to buy him new things. I knew that bunnies love to chew, and play, so I picked out some toys I thought he might like, but he doesn't seem to care much for my choices. I bought him some wooden blocks, Apple wood twigs, and some...

Hello all. I am a new rabbit owner from Wisconsin. My 16 year old son was working on a farm, and he got me a bunny for Christmas! (A little early, because the bunny needed to come home right away.) I am a huge animal lover, and have raised many pets, but this is my first ever pet rabbit. I have...
