I have a 4 month old english lop buck who seems to have fallen ill. Wednesday night I noticed that he was sneezing. Because I was a couple days late on cleaning his cage, I chalked it up to a dirty cage. Thursday morning I cleaned his cage and then decided to just move him to a bigger, airy...

I started out feeding my English Lops Manna Pro because it was the only food I could find around me that seemed to be decent. I've had a fair number of breeders tell me to look for 18%, and with the acquisition of two breeding New Zealands, I have been told to feed every one an 18% feed. I had...

My 9 yr old daughter decided she wanted to do rabbits this year for 4H, and we had already gotten one english lop to use for her project. And then we got a second english lop. At her first meeting, the advisor found out that we might also be interested in the market rabbit project (I wanted my...

We've been looking at English Lops and finally jumped in and brought our first one home yesterday (had no idea they weren't easy to find). We are now the proud owners of an opal jr buck, who I think is still a little young to be shown. I would love to enter him in a show or two though. I've...

We brought our new baby home today. He is an opal English Lop, about 10 weeks old. My oldest picked out the name, and he is going to be her pet rabbit 4H project.

Hi, I'm not a new member per se, but a returning member after a long sabbatical. We have been bunnieless for 3 years now, but will hopefully be changing that soon. Betsy

Less than 24 hours after Stratus got spayed, she is completely back to normal. In fact it seems like she has more energy now. She even chewed out all but 2 of sutures. Luckily my vet forsaw this problem and spent extra time placing subQ sutures and gluing her incision together. Needless to say...

This is my first experience owning a girl bunny. Are they generally harder to litterbox train than the boys? All three of my boys were so easy to train, even the one I got as a baby. My girl on the other hand, I have tried everything I can think of. She does go in the litterbox, but also all...

I know I haven't been on here recently, but I wanted to take the time to introduce my new rabbit, and Nebula's new girlfriend. Her name is Stratus and she is a harlequin colored standard rex. She is almost 3 months old, and already has been quite the trouble maker. 10 days ago she gave me quite...

I haven't posted on here for a while, partially due to my hectic schedule, but maybe some of you remember me. I had three rabbits, Orion (my holland lop), Galaxy (my polish dwarf mix who was bonded to Orion) and Nebula (my flemish giant). Tonight I got home after being gone at a cat show all...

During the heat wave we had last week (just broke last night), and me swealtering in a bedroom with 86 degree temps despite the AC being on, I realize how lucky my buns really are. They are living in the basement, where it is a nice, comfy, cool, controlled 68 degrees. And if they get too warm...

I went down to feed my rabbits this evening and Orion acted normal at first, but once he started eating he acted like he was vomiting. I know rabbits don't vomit, so I am rushing him in to the vet. I'm worried. He's my little buddy. I don't know what this could be.

How does one find out information about attending a rabbit show? I noticed there is one less than an hour from my house today, and I thought it would be fun to take my daughter there to watch (since we are always at cat shows and a few dog shows), but the only thing any of the websites tell me...

It seems like the superpetz around the corner from where I work has stocked up on rabbits for easter. We were there today because they were doing a fundraiser for the humane society by doing pictures with the easter bunny. I stopped to look at the rabbits and for the last couple weeks there have...

My baby boy, Nebula, is 5 months old now, and I had him neutered on Monday. Since I have had him, I have fed him unlimited pellets, veggies in the evening and unlimited hay. He is only 7 1/2lbs. Since he is now neutered, should I cut back on the pellets, or keep up with the unlimited (works out...

One of the local petstores has the most adorable mini lop rabbit for sale. I'm guessing mini lop because of his size. And the petstore told me it was a boy, or that they thought it was a boy, but there is always the chance it could be a girl. The really sad thing is that he is a big boy and...

Nebula is 4 months old now. I have heard it is recommended to wait to neuter a flemish giant until they are closer to 6 months old. What would happen if I got him neutered now? The reason I ask is because tonight when I came home from a 3-day long cat show, I discovered he had broken out of the...

My two bonded boys have been doing great together, until recently. There has not been any fighting, just a lot of humping on Galaxy's part. Orion already acknowledges that Galaxy is the boss in the relationship, but Galaxy will not stop with the humping. They have been together since late...

Apparently my sump pump decided that the 3" of rain we've had over the last 24 hours was more than it wanted to handle, and died. I came home, once again, to a flooded basement. This time I saw it coming, sort of. The boys are wet, a little cold (the water in the basement was freezing, my feet...

Are parrot toys good toys for rabbits? My local superpetz has a whole bunch on clearance, and I already bought some for my rats, but thought maybe the rabbits might like them. There are some that are rings of blocks and some that are blocks on a rope, and one with blocks and a bell. All of them...
