We just got a 7wk old kitten-I felt it would be a good idea to get her used to Ripley on early on. Kitty had already had a checkup at the vet and had no fleas etc, so that wasn't a concern. Normally Ripley is good with other bunnies, so I figured he would do fine. I brought the kitten into...

Today my 8 yr old Mini Rex Taffy was diagnosed with what we think is Thymoma. I've seen a lot in bunnies, but never have had one with this. I've done a lot of reading and spoke with the vet some. He's recommending Metacam for her right now, to see if that helps. Over the last 1-2 months...

Please note before reading this: I know this is an emergency situation for my bunny. However, the nearest ER that sees bunnies is an hour away, so I'm looking for suggestions to see if I can get Ripley through this without the stress of an hour long car ride. Last night Ripley was running...

I'm hoping to bond my two bunnies-Taffy (7 yr old Mini Rex Doe) and Ripley (2 1/2 yr old Holland Lop Buck). Both bunnies are fixed and have been for a while (since Februaryish for Ripley and June for Taffy) I've had bunnies for 10+ years but have never bonded any of them. I've read up on...

We've had bunnies for almost 10 years now, but as of maybe 2 months ago, I've been dealing with really bad allergies, when I've never had a symptom before. About a year ago was when I brought Ripley in and he's the first of our buns to be an all indoor bunny. At first I was thinking it was...

So I need some behavioral help with Ripley. Thoughts? Ideas? : Lately he's been peeing out of his litter box. Every day or two, I'll find a puddle right next to his litter box. I don't really thing it's a UTI but I guss I could be wrong. He's always had great litter habits until now he's...

I know this sounds this absurd, but anything really is possible when it comes to Ripley and his curiosity/not watching where he's hopping. So just like 10 minutes ago, I was sitting on the floor while Ripley was hopping around and I had a open bottle of nail polish out that I was using. He...

Ripley I believe has some sort of mites or something-he itches continually and can't keep his mind off it. I thought maybe I could see some flaky skin as well, but not for sure because he's white so it's very hard to see. Anyway, I gave him a dose of Revolution yesterday. Provided that helps...

For a while, I've known Ripley doesn't wake up easily when he's sleeping. He's only two years old, but I know something isn't quite right with his hearing. For a while I thought maybe I was crazy and when he sleeps, he's just in a deep sleep. Now though, more and more lately, I've been...

Ripley has a big xpen but when it comes to overnight, he is loud. Any ideas? Ripley likes to wake up in the middle of the night and make a racket chewing on the bars. First off, it is really annoying for us, who are actually trying to sleep. Secondly, I don't think it's good for his mouth to...

Ripley's a almost 2 yr old Holland lop. Since getting him at 8 wks old, he's had a slightly wet nose, on and off it'lll get to be a bit more wet, but always clear discharge. Also, on and off his eyes will run (maybe like once every month or two). After bringing Ripley home originally, I...

Ripley been scratching at his ears alot. In fact, I'd noticed it before, but now it's to the point of having scabs in both ears where they've bled. Think it's just itchy or dry? Or could he have mites? What other signs should I be watching for? So far I haven't been too concerned but I...

So you know that cute little white bunny face in my avatar on here? Guess what: I'm getting rather convinced he's just swapted with an impersonater of himself and he's run off to some field full of carrots or something to chow down :nosir: After all, Ripley just couldn't be badly...

Just got cottontail bunnies from somebody who removed them from their garden. It's a long story, but I told them I would like to try to care for and release them (yes, I know all about not removing bunnies and bunnies not actually being orphaned when people think they are.) I successfully...

Help, help & help! I don't know how much of this is health, and how much of this is behavioral, but I thought I'd ask. So, a brief bit of history: Ripley is a nearly 2 year old Holland lop buck. He was an outdoor bunny until late fall/earlier winter since when he's been inside in a big...

Tonight when I went up to get ready for bed, I went to let Ripley out of his pen for his nightly run around the house. He's never refused this, and, usually he chews on the bars all day long to get let out. He is pooping and I'm not sure about eating so much, just gave him his dinner. I...

Ok, so someone's gotta help me out here. Ripley was neutered this last Friday. I'll admit it, I was expecting my little wild child to turn into wonder boy. The vet did inform me before that the humping may not go away and could be due to anxiety. But, he did say at least the marking should...

I've finally made the decision; Ripley is getting neutered. I absolutely adore Ripley and even some of his little manorisms likes honking and licking me. Though those manorisms are cute and will be missed, other realated things that he does :bouquet: just aren't so adorable. In 9 years of...

Ripley is not neutered. Up to now, we've been hesitant to do so. Partly cost, partly the fact that I'm worried sick something will happen to him. But, I know it needs to be done. My question is as to whether neutered buns poop all over like unneutered. Ripley is an amazing little man...
