It could work if the personalities of the rabbits involved permit, but it's always best to eliminate the hormone issue before trying it out. Even rabbits who seem bonded initially can have a setback if they're each determined to dominate the other. Personally, I couldn't acquire a female rabbit...

I haven't, no. I'm easily manipulated and Mac is a champion thumper when he's dissatisfied with me. I'm afraid he'll just refuse to eat and wake me up 5 times a night. I'll try harder tomorrow, but he has me trained well.

I have the same problem with my rabbit, who is shunning hay for the most part. His vet said he has the "most perfect" teeth she has seen, so no issue there. I tried all hay (orchard, bermuda, meadow, etc) except mature oat hay (golden) which is supposed to be ideal for picky hay eaters and is...

Hi Joy, You may want to post this in the Rescue Me section. If Buns were a female, I'd take her, but I also have a fixed male who needs rehoming. If no one here shows interest, you can try contacting a no-kill rabbit rescue center if you haven't. They will love the fact that he is already fixed...

Everyone is right, you'll need your vet to rule out a number of issues. My Holland lop (2.5 yrs) had exactly the same appearance (the last photo is deja vu). My veterinarian checked for sinus infection, tooth problem (back teeth need attention, too), etc. I was worried because he had a little...

They are lovely. I'm too far in LA county. Have you tried contacting no kill rescue shelters? They're likely overflowing, but you never know until you ask. If you do end up posting on Craigslist, just remember to keep each bun at $15 or more, so they don't end up as snake food. You could also...

Don't be discouraged. Babies and unspayed females are known to be more difficult. I would try limiting her living space again, and reward her with treats only when she's in her litter box. My bun was about the same age when I began litter training. He also reverted back to old ways when free...

If you have a dog crate or x-pen, you can keep her in there with 2 litter boxes on opposite ends filled with hay on top of litter. Get her urine on a paper towel/newspaper and put that into each box. You could use just one box, but it usually helps to give her the choice of 2. She should be...

The bit about further investigation probably means you declined to have various tests done that they offered at an extra cost or you didn't inquire about running more tests because it was presumed that his condition wasn't yet serious. A call to a rescue shelter would be worth a shot as they...

If taking him to a reliable emergency vet is out of the question, is there a rabbit rescue nearby that would be willing to take him to the vet for you? Sounds like he is suffering...

You probably know this already, but have you tried apple/cranberry juice with critical care? Or sprinkle cc on food such as mashed bananas, canned pumpkin, canned baby food, or other mashed or puréed food. I use Oxbow's Digestive Support tablets (4.00% crude fat) as a treat. You can try...
