Not worried that it will wreck the bonding. I’m just worried that I will hurt him

I got Dortmund off of craigslist. When I went to pick him up, he lived in a small cage they kept on the floor and the couple had three terriers who constantly tried to get him, and barked at him constantly. Plus they obviously didn’t like cleaning his space since there was about 2 inches of...

I would love to interact more with the little guy, but except for head scritchies he does not really like to be touched. Certainly not enough for me to examine his butt regularily. I mean, he has a vet appointment, and I am trying to capture him so i can bring him there, but he is very fast...

Not sure this post is relevant to the poor little guy. It wasn’t just a couple poops. It was clumps of poop that coated his tail, butt and legs. It had hardened and was really hard to get rid of. Not sure how to measure the volume, but there was poop equal to two entire tails worth that I...

This is who I use. They are okay. Not as good as the place I used to go to when I lived in Iowa. It's a fraction of the price, though. 18962 N. Dale Mabry Highway Lutz, FL 33548 Phone: (813) 269-5200

He is six years old. I finally nabbed him about an hour ago (When he runs away and hides, I like to let him stay hidden and not grab him so that he feels safe in his hiding spaces.). I cleaned up far more poop than I thought possible. His bottom is still dirty. I discovered online that a...

Just noticed this morning that my little guy has a big clump of poop stuck to his butt. I have some paper towels and wet wipes ready for the next time he ventures out to where I can catch him, and I plan give him a quick clean, but I was wondering if this was symptomatic of something more...

A few months ago I bought a plush holland lop toy and put it into Dortmund’s space. At first Dortmund hated it. He spent two whole days biting it and throwing it around. Then he spent a couple days having sex with it (he is neutered). But then he fell in love with it. Even after five or six...

just north of Tampa

I’m open to working with a rescue, as long as they are willing to work with me. I went to the SPCA a couple years ago and had a bad experience with them.

Sorry. Not in Iowa anymore. I’m in Florida.

A month ago, I bought my little guy Dortmund, a plush rabbit toy on a whim. I figured he would tear it up like he did the plush whale I got him a year ago, indeed the first day he had it, he bit it a lot, threw it down to the bottom level of his hutch, and spent a good 18 hours straight having...

An online friend of mine got two bunnies in November. The breeder told her they were both females. Alas, the Breeder was wrong and the female had a litter in mid January. She got the male neutered about 10 days ago, and thought she had been keeping them separate, but alas she just had another...

Dortmund is home. The tests they did showed that his liver is fine. He is eating and pooping on his own again. he is currently hiding.

The animal hospital transferred him from the Tampa branch to their clearwater branch where they have a specialist. They are doing a CT scan tomorrow, but it looks like there might be something wrong with his liver and needs surgery. i got to pet him for a half hour and brought him his favorite...
