They DO have fluffy pantaloons! I never really noticed that either! Flynt has a very cute habit of actually curling his paws around my hand when I pick him up. I think he feels more secure that way? It's very endearing.

I love your buns and all their pictures! So cute! I also really like your budgie. It needs a name! I would call it Custard because of its colour. Anyway, I was fascinated with your picture of the possum. We have possoms here (or opossums) but they look nothing whatsoever like your possoms...

Thanks all! I am happy to give them a home! They are not that big. I just weighed them. He is 4 lbs 4 oz and she is 4 lbs 8 oz.

This is a post about my bunny, Thumper, who has now been gone nearly 3 years. She was a wonderful girl. She lived to be 14. I bought her at a pet shop, long before shelters in my area had bunnies. She was supposedly 8 weeks old. They didn't tell me what breed she was. She was always very small...

Thanks Bo B Bunny! No guesses on breeds?!

Here is Flynt when I first got him out of his carry-box. He has a very wide head compared to Kyndling. He also has a very different coat. He has a short hair coat underneath, with long hair mixed throughout. Her fur is all long, even the guard hairs. Here he is a few days later after about...

I was able to pick up my two new rescue bunnies on the weekend from the Animal Rescue League here in Iowa. They always have a great selection of bunnies (I know, I wish they didn't need to have space for so many, but you sure can take your pick!). They had called me because they know I spin...

Well, that raises a good question - they might be wooly lops. I have no idea! I would say they are roughly the same size as the English angora I have, but he's not a huge one either. I will say that the fur on Kindlin (the female) appears longer than the fur on the male. But I only interacted...

I'd like to add an animal communicator experience, although it was with my greyhounds and not my rabbit. We had a problem with a greyhound that wasn't eating. She was fairly recently rescued from the track. She had started eating, but within a few weeks, she stopped. She also attacked our other...

Oh how I love my local shelter! They call me every time a sheep or a goat comes in, and now they are calling me when any angoras come in. So today, I got the call. What do you think? Are these guys angora crosses? They are sweet, although the male (Flynt) needs a lot of grooming. Major mats on...

Clevername - yes! He does look like that one! I hope the brown will come through more now that his coat will be better cared for. KHerrmann3 - He really DOES look like a big bedroom slipper, especially when he had that long coat. He'll get it back. But you can't have him! :P JadeIcing - my...

Thanks for that link! Very useful! Poor little Butterscotch is looking a little bit pathetic now after his full haircut, but I do think he is more comfortable. The mats were everywhere and really pulling at his skin. Now I can groom the coat as it comes in. For some reason, I can't seem to get...

Oh!! He does a binky all the time! So did my other rabbit. I just didn't know that is what it was called! I always called it a "twisty-hop". How do I clean his scent glands?

Well, things have progressed well with Butterscotch. I did some plucking in some areas that were not as badly matted, but there was so much matting deep down in the fleece that I ended up basically shearing him gently with hand scissors. I did it over about a week so that it wasn't too...

By the way, I tried to embed a photo, using either Picasa or Flickr, and it didn't work either way, which is why I put in the link. Any help on that appreciated! I'm on a mac using Firefox.

Hi Clevername! (what a clever name!) Thanks for all your helpful advice! I haven't clipped any forehead fur. Here is a close-up of his forehead. It is not matted, so that is why I didn't clip it. Should I clip it? If so, why? http://flickr.com/photos/10178403@N05/3254708456/ The person who...

Don't want to clutter up the rabbit forum with non rabbits! I wasn't sure what the "rules" were on non-lagomorphs!

Thank you for the papaya tip. It was one of those things I did with my first bunny so I thought I'd continue. The pumpkin tip is a great one! We use canned pumpkin with our greyhound to prevent runny poops, and also to decrease...well...intestinal gas, to put it politely! I can definitely give...

Thank you for that Wikipedia article! That made it fairly clear to me that mine appears to be English. He has fur all over his face (long fur) and ears, so that seems to suggest the English type. I'm not sure what it means when it says that the fur can be "cottony" but his fur is definitely...

Thank you thank you!! So, he is a Satin Angora then? I was not sure what type he was. I read about the 4 types but still wasn't sure. The link you provided was great and I read a number of the sub-links and there is some excellent advice in there. I will be proceeding more confidently now! I...
