Here is my new girl Lyla, vet estimates 2-3 months. She weighs exactly 1 pound. I'm thinking a dwarf mix, and charlie something?

Today is Day 2 of woking on bonding Felipe (dwarf mix, neutered male) to my new girl Lyla (dwarf mix, unspayed baby female). So far they've been in the tub together three times, for 30-45 minutes. Doing fine in the tub. Lots of sniffing, happy bunny flops, a little grooming by Lyla. Lyla is in...

ESPECIALLY if you drink Pepsi! The animal shelter I volunteer with every weekend here in NC is in the running to win $50,000 from Pepsi Refresh! You can vote everyday online or by texting. Check under any yellow Pepsi caps for a code to get even more votes. We are sooooo close to getting this...

First he had to go to the vet for a well-bunny check up. Vet said he looked great. Then, a few minutes ago I caught him chewing on an electrical wire (to the DVD player) and fussed at him. Couple minutes later there's a huge POP behind the TV and I see SPARKS! Felipe shot out from behind the TV...

Hi all. I had two foster kittens recently. They did not interact with Felipe and were kept in a separate room, but I could tell he resented them. I took them to the shelter to get fixed and brought one back the next day. After that, he seemed FURIOUS! He was kicking his feet at me all the time...

Naughty Felipe is up to trouble again...He has been on a serious paper tear, eating what seems to me to be good amount. He also chewed a hole (maybe 2" around) in one of my reusable bags. I'm worried about a bowel obstruction. How worried should I be? What are signs of this? What can I do to...

I have finally decided to do a blog! Hopefully everyone will enjoy this. I plan to use this mostly to share life with Felipe and my activities volunteering at the no-kill animal shelter. First off, introductions! My name is Sarah and I'm 23 years old. I teach inclusive preschool (special...

Has anyone tried this? I saw some today I think would be great for Felipe. He loves to ride in the shopping buggy at Petsmart, I think it would be great for that and to take walks in the park. He won't do the harness but I would like for him to get fresh air.

Our local animal shelter was doing pictures with Santa at PetSmart today so of course I took Felipe. He hopped right into Santa's lap and turned into America's Next Top Model. He did several poses- stretched out across his lap, playing in Santa's beard, and the classic over the shoulder look...

Hi all, hoping someone can help. I volunteer with the local animal shelter and am considering fostering a kitten for a short period of time (2-3 weeks) to try it out. I have not fostered before and don't have a ton of experience with cats (dogs and rabbits, yes). My guy Felipe is about 9 months...

Felipe made his society debut at Petsmart today. He was very good, he rode in the buggy eating his snack and looking around. He enjoyed all of the extra pets he got from strangers.

Felipe got neutered back in September, partly to help cut down on his carpet chewing (or so I hoped). I have tried everything- giving him more toys, various blocks/sticks to chew, more hay, more time out of the cage, less time out of the cage, covering his favorite spots with blankets or carpet...

Unfortunately, I'm allergic to the hay. I have done pretty well controlling it so far by washing my hands thoroughly and keeping it closed up in a plastic container. Today I had a major 20 minute vacuuming battle trying to get all the little particles in the living room and IT SUCKED. My...

How long do bunny shows last? There is a triple open show in Greensboro tomorrow, judging starts at 9. Any idea how long it might go? I can't go until 12:00 or so.

Felipe got the big snip Friday morning. I was a little bit nervous as I know rabbits can have trouble with the anesthesia but the vet said he did WONDERFUL! I called about an hour and half after the surgery and they said he was up and hopping around and eating. I took him a big tupperware thing...

I grabbed these "treats" without really investigating them at Petsmart the other day. They're Rice Pops by Critter Ware. They look kinda like colorful packing peanuts, the styrofoam kind. I thought they were just for chewing, but Felipe seems to have eaten his! He is acting fine but should I be...

Alright, for the last maybe 2-3 weeks Felipe has been leaving poops EVERYWHERE outside of his litter box! He had been trained for a couple months. He is not peeing outside, just pooping. He gets his hay and food in his litter box. He is pooping like crazy in his run. I counted at least 30 poops...

I have seen a few places lately (such as Craigslist, ugh) where people are advertising their bunnies as "hand fed" or "hand fed from birth" as though it is a positive. My understanding was that a breeder having to hand feed a baby was a BAD thing. Is there a positive side to hand feeding or are...

I've never been to a rabbit show before and I'd loved to get a up close look at the different breeds. Does this sound like a show that will be well attended/have lots of breeds? http://www.arba.net./Sanction%20Files/SANDHILLS%20RABBIT%20FANCIERS22.pdf
