First, calm down. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths. Try to imagine yourself as Mr. Spock from Star Trek...(okay, funny images, I know, but this always helps me.) Is your anxiety logical? What is it that is causing the anxiety? Is it a person? A task? The environment? The commute...

If things don't work out, they don't work out. We have separate places for everyone. As for the standing on the hind legs...Popcorn only did that after Dash was taken away. I don't believe it was him preparing to fight. It was well after we took Dash away and put him in his cage. He looked like...

Faline. She reminded me of Thumper's girlfriend from Bambi, but apparently she was never given a name in the original movie! Faline was the doe that Bambi fell for. Although I guess fans call her Bixbi. Which is also cute. :3 She even kind looks like Bugs Bunny's girlfriend in Space Jam - Lola...

I wanted to post an update. The third bun, whose name is Popcorn, needed a home immediately and we relented because we both have "Softie" written across our foreheads. He lives in the spare room and is the most agreeable and sweetest darling. Right now he has his chin resting on my thigh...

>.< Sorry, just realized how badly I made myself sound. Currently, Dash and Moonpie are in different rooms and have no contact! We set their cages down next to each other a while back for about 20 minutes before we decided they were stressing each other out too much. Dating started out as they...

Yikes...I've been away for too long! So...we have Dash who was our rescue and we got a little mini rex doe a while back hoping to bond them so Dash would have someone to snuggle with. ;-; Sadly, bonding has NOT been going well. We've had to break up multiple fights, one of which ended with...

^-^ Thanks, JJ. Dash seems to love it too. He took a couple days to figure out the levels, but I see him on all levels, so it must be a hit. Now the hardest part is getting him to come out! lol

I just finished building mine. Does this help any? :)

So...the trouble with tribbles is that truly they are never ending. Despite a near daily brushing regime, Dash has managed to get a few mats. Let me start by saying, I am having a truly humbling moment. *Sigh* Admittedly, things have worked out against us in recent weeks. We went on vacation and...

Ask them to use a Wood's light over the area...there is always the possibility of ringworm. (Not a worm, and also, generally the species in pets are not catching in humans). If it glows under the light, its a very simply treated fungus that could be causing it. The symptoms of ringworm are...

My hubs and I just started reading this...we both are praying for your darling bun. She really seems like an amazing little rabbit. We had a fairly long conversation about so called "feeder" animals - considering we've rescued our fair share of feeder rats. To see what these animals suffer, its...

First thing, thank you for your sympathy and support after Stanley died. We had a cat come into the vet office with similar symptoms (in fact, the same ones). I will wait til we get the final word, but I will see what Stanley might have had. Second, I feel I should warn you that this is post...

I've been wondering what to write about for a few days. We combed out a little long haired rabbit and joked about tribbles. We praised him for sitting so still while we combed out a new mat behind his ear. About our adventures learning about his diet. I don't feel like any of that is...

Honestly, LakeCondo, we have no idea how old he is. We picked up the Purina as a WE NEED FOOD NOW kind of thing rather than actually using the pellets for a long period of time. We just grabbed another bag of Oxbow Young Rabbit until we decide for certain. For the time being we're going to stick...

Okay, so our first set of pellets was kind of an emergency thing and my husband searched the pet store's shelf for a bag of pellets that was JUST pellets. He had picked up Oxbow Young Rabbit. After doing some reading, I realized he was right. The little bag ran out fairly quickly and we ran over...
