Hi all, My rabbit Einstein recently passed away (May 1), which has been very difficult. He was a little over nine years old and we were really bonded. It was sudden and I keep replaying in my head what I could have/should have done differently. My other rabbit Butterscotch (same age) now...

Hi all, So I have a large plastic store-bought cage for my rabbit, and he has a bad habit of peeing under the shelf (on the opposite side of his litter box) and also over the edge of the litter box. I have been cleaning it with vinegar and Nature's Miracle, but unfortunately it was pretty...

I have 3-year-old lionhead/angora mix. He is fixed and eats Oxbow pellets and timothy hay and some vegetables. Last night he had some red and green pepper and everything seemed fine. When I woke up today he was laying down in his litterbox (something he never does). Usually he makes a lot...

Hello all, My rabbit Butterscotch has a cage that I built him out of NIC panels. It's square - 2x2x2, so 28"x 28"x 28" (I would like it to be bigger but unfortunately don't really have the room). The cage has plexiglass about 2 inches high around the bottom, to try to prevent poop from...

Hi all, My rabbit and I went to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. We drove back this afternoon, with my rabbit in his carrier. The drive was about 2.5 hours - he's made it several times before. He's been in his cage since we got back (around 6:15 pm) and has not pooped. Before we left, I...

Hello all, In a few weeks I am moving to attend graduate school. One of my rabbits, Einstein, will be coming with me. (the second will be staying home with my parents) As I will now have my own space, I bought Einstein a bigger cage. He isn't using it now because it's too large to fit in his...

For some reason, my lionhead Einstein will not drink his water. I've been noticing this over the past few weeks - his water bottle stays full, and his litter box is pretty dry when I clean it. It doesn't matter if the water is fresh or not - a recently changed water bottle does not seem to...

So I have two rabbits, both males, one just over 6 months and the other just over. Originally they came together, but once their rabbit hormones began running wild we had to separate them. They were out once together since then, and the resulting chase made me decide they wouldn't be out again...

Has anyone had their rabbit fixed through the NJ program? I live in NY, and the cost of the neuter plus the exam is $281 for one rabbit (I have two males), and that's not including pain medication or bloodwork, which they recommend. Though it was my impression, from the forums, that bloodwork...

Hi all, I got 2 new rabbits a few months ago, and they're both in standard (small) petstore cages. One is a Lionhead who won't get too big, so his cage seems fine, at least for now, but the other has (surprise!) grown to be over 5 pounds, and he's only 4 months old. The woman who ran the rescue...

So...I've been reading everyone else's blogs and wanted to share the story of my two rabbits, B & B - better known as Butterscotch and Buttons. I've had them now for just over a month. They were both "Easter bunnies" - the rescue I got them from found them at an auction, where they were...

Hi all, I got 2 new rabbits about three weeks ago. One is a Lionhead/Angora mix, and the other is some kind of Dutch mix. I'd like to know what makes up the mix, as he's been growing really fast (he's ~11 weeks), and it's been my experience that Dutch are pretty small. I'm not sure if he's...

Hi all, I have two new rabbits that I've had for less than a week. I picked them out off the rescue website, and funnily enough, they were buddies and were sharing a cage together. The woman running the rescue believed they were both boys, but when we were there, one began...

Hi all, I just adopted a rabbit today. He is around 8-10 weeks, a Lionhead/Angora mix. I'll post some pictures when I can, he is the cutest thing ever. The problem is his really long, tangled fur. Ever time he comes out of his cage, he has to be brushed to get the poop and litter out of...

Okay, I kind of feel like I'm overusing the forum - been posting a lot of questions lately! But I have another one. I have a mini rex rabbit who has developed sore hocks. The first one I noticed was actually on his front paw, but now he has two on one of his back paws as well. I understand...

So I have a rabbit that's at least 8, probably more like 9+ years old. He lives indoors and has a typical cage - powder coated metal with a plastic bottom, that opens on the side. This little ramp is how he gets in and out of his cage. He rarely comes out on his own anymore, but he does...

Hi all, I took my mini rex Bailey to the vet today. He has an upper respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, and likely arthritis (we didn't do an x-ray, but he's had a lot of difficulty getting in and out of his cage lately, and also getting up when he's lying down). He's also 8+ years old...

I have a Mini Rex rabbit, at least 8 years old, though he may be closer to 9+. He has been very healthy over the years, though he is now experiencing some issues, likely an upper respiratory infection and possibly arthritis, and is going to the vet in a few days. He has been losing weight...

My family adopted Napoleon in February 2009. Just under a year old, he was so shy when we brought him home, running away when we tried to pet him and refusing to come out of his cage. Soon, though, he seemed to get used to us. He would get so excited when someone would walk by his cage...
