Another tip I did was to soak / wet the small lettuce (spring mix) so my girl stayed hydrated. But mine ate very little for several days. She had a very tough recovery. Keep them together because they need each other’s support while they heal.
I️ just saw your post, I️ put the pain reliever drops on a small piece of lettuce so it encouraged mine to eat and seemed to work. I’ve also mixed it with water in a syringe and let my girl drink a drop at a time to avoid the stress.
One word of advice, take out the shaved bedding or she will think the entire cage is a litter box. There are several sites on etsy, and Amazon that sell hidey houses, hay feeders and wood tunnels for rabbits. I️ also recommend binky bunny website for the litter box w/screen overlay. Super easy...
I️ have the exact same cage and with the pen attached I️ think it’s fine. You can let her out to stretch her legs more but that extension gives her room to Binky. As far as hay honestly feed the 1/4 cup of pellets in the am only and freshen the hay daily. My bunnies hated hay and refused to eat...
Just a suggestion, you can get pro bios in the horse section at tractor supply. It comes in a tube in the horse section. Give a pea sized amount daily. No pellets or greens for 3 days and hay only. Should correct the issue. I️ have found fresh veggies give my Holland loose stools and so do...
My youngest lop does the one ear up and one down. To me they are unsure of us still. She has never been harmed but is very hesitant of human touch still. She is 8 months old I️ believe once I️ get her spayed she will become nicer, but in the meantime baby steps.
So I️ own several Holland’s. One of mine preferred her cage to the outside world. Even used to sit at the opening and never come out. I️ placed a play pen outside her cage and put old towels on the wood floors. She seemed to like that better. I️ did encourage her to come out a few times. I️...
Steve,
You’re very welcome. Limit the veggies and lettuce until she is older. It tends to give them loose stools. My buns don’t bother the artificial turf but they sure ate every leaf off my bushes. Glad you liked my ramp, it was easy and they love it. Gives them just enough grip to run up and...
I️ own a NETHERLAND dwarf female and male. She was aggressive until she was spayed. Now she is a sweetheart, he was always sweet. I️ also own a holland lop buck and doe. He is friendlier but she isn’t mean, just stand offish. Neither has been fixed yet. I️ think the does get hormonal around 4...
One more thing I️ want to add is my bunnies all get rotation out of their cages daily. But when my Netherlands go back in their cage they usually rest on the top shelf inside their Timothy huts on the top level. See picture. I️ will attach another picture of my ramp. Very easy to make and they...
Hi there!
I️ love my ferret nation cage and I️ have 2 Netherlands in mine. Just cover the ramps with the fleece covers and you’re golden. I️ built my scatter trays out of 1” x 4” plywood and built a plywood ramp covered in fake grass for them to get in and out. The double doors are awesome to...
