Never mind... we resolved it on the facebook RO. She is going to release the lil guy :)

Picture... its cute as a button...

My friends barn cat seems to have brought home a baby bunny. She thinks it might be wild, around 2 -3 weeks old. Eyes open, can move and has no noticeable injury. She doesn't want to put it back out as its supposed to go down to about 35 tonight. She is thinking of keeping it if she can give...

Q sounds like she has the cutest routine! I can't imagine letting Rue get in bed with me. I suspect he would eat our bed. Which would make him lunch for DH lol.

The only reason I know Rue is asleep is because his nose stops twitching. When he is resting it still twitches very slowly. I have identified his breathing when he sleeps vs resting as well. It took awhile to tell because he doesn't always close his eyes sleeping(as we all know is common in...

My biggest "uh oh" was not knowing just how important hay was for them. He had hay but not free choice like he does now. I also didn't know he was supposed to have alfalfa as a baby bun. I also didn't know they were not supposed to have veggies as babies. I found this site a few days after...

Yep an xpen is a puppy pen. I found mine on kijiji(Canadian version of craigslist) for $30.

The lady who owns the property that connects to our riding school has her own little animal hoarding collection going on. She has a bunch of small little cages with rabbits outside with no protection from the weather. Once and awhile she will take them inside. So one of the does ends up with a...

Another option is converting a dog kennel and adding an x pen. My DH used doweling and plywood to make a new level and ramp and then we put the xpen. My boy loves it. I have a dig box for him that is sitting on top of the dog kennel. I put it down for him every few days to play in. It has...

I use a cat litter box for Rue. He hated the little rabbit ones. As soon as I gave him a cat box and used wood pellets as litter($5 for a 40lb bag) he has no issues and no smell. He doesn't even poop outside his box. Neutering will make a huge difference. Also I put Rue's hay rack over his...

It amuses me to no end that Rue has a sleeping routine right down to position he sleeps. In the morning he sleeps on the top part of his cage under his little log home, he then a few hours later gets up for a snack then goes back to his cage and flops out on the bottom. Wakes up for a snack...

He was neutered in August at 5 months of age. His litter habits are a dream come true(he NEVER poops outside of his litter box or pees, though he was peeing in his litter box pre neuter). Its just his intense urge to eat the carpet. I have already gotten him with the squirt bottle. His...

Yea a small squirt here and there is not cruel. I just didn't know if it was an effective training method for a rabbit. It worked great for my dog. So why not!

Squirt bottle it is. I thought about doing that but didn't know if it would be considered cruel. Just where rabbits seem to be so sensitive. But heck if it works I am all for it. I don't get it. Everything I read says if they are going after stuff it means they are bored. Well I don't know how...
