I have no problems with our Lops.. The English are not a problem either, the biggest worry on their ears is them stepping on them and teaing them... But that is not as common as some would think!

May have missed it but were the other two rabbits you had in there bucks also? that may have been the whole problem.. have you tried to put/bring for a visita doe in the same room and how was that reaction???? & ty for the welcome

ok thanks! lol being new here there is NO way I will ever get through all the posts! lol I just wondered what had happened.. I wish you luck.. have you tried to just take one of the pigs in to see how he would react for just a visit? with dogs that is what we do introduce slowly just a few...

My husband is allergic to rabbit FUR... has been since he got his first rabbit for 4-H ummmm 15 years ago.... He takes allergy pills and is on 2 inhailers... The doc says his asthma stems from the allergy to the rabbits..and still we have 50+ he will not give them up so he stays on themeds...

I have about 50 (give or take with the babies I have) And never wormed them untill I got my 2 english lops. No matter what we tried they were not gaining weight so it was suggested to us to worm them.. We did, and they gained the weight they needed and looked alot better... (one was almost 1 lb...

Most of mine do not "trance" either... lol I just have to hold them squriming to do what needs to be done.. I try to handle each one a couple times a week... (does not always happen since I have so many.... ) But I try!

I have never heard of a wormer paste for rabbits what we use is mixed with their drinking water and they get it maybe 2x a year.. ( can be given more often if thought it was needed.. but never felt WE HAD to do it...)

ok here is my 2 cents... (as someone else said) lol I have a rabbit (or 10) that hates coming out of their cage, I have to pick them up pull them out and once they are out they are fine.. they just do not like comeing out of the cage... I can then flip them over, check for any absesses, toenails...

Rosie, yes I agree that older rabbits that aregood natured ARE out there.... lol when talking Buns you will usuallyget me from a BREEDER point of view... any other animals you will findme leaning more towards a Shelter point of view..... Rabbitsaremy "soft spot" so to say..andbeingat the shelter...

Not too sure on the grumbly tummy thing I justwant to say please stay away from some of the veggies/ greens... If yousnap the veggie and it is "stringy" (like celery...) It is not goodsame goes wiuth diffrent trypes of greens.. (iceburg lettuce) So thatis the test before you feed it to your...

Thank you! I am hopeing to get pictures of some of the others when the weather breaks.. I have some that I just need to get downloaded to the site... Once this snow we got goes away I will be able to take pics!

This is my opinion... so please take it as that.. If you get a baby/younger rabbit that is used to being handled it shoudbe ok.. if you go with an older rabbit it could already be "set in it'sways" and be used to being handled in a certian way... I teach anyone Isell a pet to how I PERSONALLY...
