I agree its not the best article, butunfourtunatly I can't find much info out there on the comparison ofdifferent brands. :? It's a decent starting point though, and helpsmake people aware of the importance of proper nutrition which is why Ithought I'd post it. Also, what do people think about...

How big are the water bottles that you've tried? Sometimes it doesn't seem like a lot of water comes out at once, but ifyou can push on the ball bearing and a few drops come out, then itsprobably working fine. If the rabbits chew on it and have figured outhow to get the water to come out, it...

I think the cage you have is too small. (48cm x 29 cm is about 1ft x 1.5 ft for those who don't know, and the rabbit is probably about the size of a dutch) The minimum size for a cage is one that has space enough for food,litterbox and an area big enough for the rabbit to completely stretchout...

I suppose if a person were to pick up a rabbitimproperly, it could cause them harm. I know it is possible that ifthey freak out and try to kick they could injure themselves or breaktheir back. I think its safe to say though, that you can continue to cuddle withyour bunny and not have to worry...

I feed my bun Purina. I get it at the localPurina farm outlet and its fresher and better quality than anything Icould find in the stores around here. Cheaper too! He loves the purina. I can use it as treats because he just goes nuts over it. I agree that if you give him a pellet-only variety...

When searching for a vet to do a spay/neuter, itis wise to look around for a vet that has experience with rabbits. Youshould ask how many rabbits they've performed the surgery on and howmany they have lost. My rabbit was 4 yrs old when the shelter I got him from neutered him.The other male of...

chipperluv, you could seperate them but place their cages side by side so they could still see and smell each other. I think it would be irresponsible to let them breed again. Breedingshould be left to those people who consider it a serious hobby and doit for show and to improve the breed. I...

Here is an article about the dangers of using Frontline and other similar flea control products on rabbits. Frontline and rabbits We had a bit of a flea problem last fall after I adopted a new cat. Idid a lot of research and found that many flea products can be veryharmful. If you ever have...

Many rabbits can be 100% litter trained. Spaying and neutering greatly increases the chances of this. It is not uncommon, though, for them to leave little poops occasionallyoutside of their box. They usually do it as a way of marking theirterritory. When they become more comfortable with their...

Monique, I think it is wise that you are keeping her seperate so that you don't put your other pets at risk. Little Annie is so lucky that you found her in that pet shop. Manyother people would have never given her a chance. Because of you, shewill live a happy and wonderful life, even if it...

A spay is definately a good idea. It will mostlikely improve her behavior and litter habits, and the risk of canceris much less. Unbred, unspayed rabbits have a high risk of developinguterine cancer... I think there is something like a 70-90% risk by age4 if you don't get her spayed. Around here...

The last apartment I lived in accepted cats with no additional deposite but didn't accept rabbits. Go figure huh? The one I live in now allowed us to have 3 cats and the rabbit (thoughthey don't know about the 4th cat!:shock: ) with a double securitydeposit. Hopefully after I make some repairs...

Rabbits can eat apples, but bunnies shouldn't.You should not give your bunny ANY fresh foods unless they are at least4-6 months old. Young rabbits have very sensitive digestive systems andcan not yet handle fresh foods. When they are old enough, you cangradualy introduce them to veggies, but...

The move and new home has probably made her a bitnervous, so she's probably pooing all over to mark her cage as hers.Eventually she should pick one corner, and when she does, just put alitterbox in that corner and she should start using it. Keep her confined to a small area for a while so she...
