Well, I gave them a leaf from the plant in question this morning and all seems to be well this evening. I am pretty sure it is a collard green plant, but if it was in fact a brussel sprout plant it did not bother them. Thanks to you both for your replies. I at least felt better giving it to them.

Anyone know if the leaves off the brussel sprout plant (not the sprouts or little cabbages themselves, but the actual plant leaves) are safe to feed to rabbits? I have collard greens and brussel sprouts planted near each other and can't at this point tell one from the other. Poor planning on...

This is really long, sorry. Not sure of what your set up is, but it sounds like you have a fairly large area for the buns. I took a bit of an unconventional approach to bonding, one that I have not heard anyone else mention, and one that seems to be a bit of my own invention. It’s kind...

What you are describing about your dog is exactly how one of my dogs behaves at the pet store around the rodent cages. Her favorite thing to do there is go from cage to cage, nose plastered to the glass aquarium, tail going a hundred miles an hour just waiting for them to move. Both of my...

Lexi01, pretty much anything that was once alive can be composted. You do have to pay some attention to the mix of browns (dead leaves, paper, dry grass, etc) to greens (fresh grass, kitchen trimmings, etc.). If you get too many greens and not enough browns it will start to smell. Just search...

And as Channahs said, you could also just compost it over the winter. A free standing pile works just fine, although sometimes dogs and other critters might dig into it. You could include the used litter too if it is wood or paper based. Channahs, the secret to stockpiling poops is to let...

YES!!! Fall is a great time to add compost to your garden. It is actually better than adding it in the spring. If possible, it will break down better if you can dig it in. Rabbit poop can be used cold (without composting) and can be used as a top dressing throughout the growing season, but...

I am definitely keeping an eye out for fly strike. He is inside, so that reduces the risk, but is definitely something to watch for. He's never sprayed as long as I have had him, and I ruled out sludge since his urine seems totally normal. I guess I will just have to wait and see what the vet...

I have a neutered buck about 2 years old. He is eating, drinking, peeing and pooping as normal. We have a vet appointment for Saturday and will certainly go sooner if needed. Currently, he seems fine other than he is getting soaked with urine at times on the top of his tail right at the base...

I had this trouble with my boys when I was bonding them. If I tried to introduce food or a litter box in the expen bonding area, one or the other would get territorial about the item. I did find that they could get along very well in a small space together (small carrier) for extended periods of...

I do use it in the garden. The majority of poops go right in the garden. Urine soaked litter gets composted most of the time as I found adding it directly to the garden added too much nitrogen. Urine is pure nitrogen. Too much nitrogen and you get big plants with few veggies. Nitrogen will...

She is very pretty! Welcome to the world of rabbits! Do you have any idea what color she is? She looks to have the same coloration as my foster and I can't figure out her color.

The stretching sounds like she has gas. Could also account for the lethargy. Might take a couple of doses of simethicone.

I don't know. It is so frustrating. She can be in the condo all day whille I'm gone and not have an accident. Let her out, and within 2-3 minutes she is peeing a lake right outside the condo. I have started sitting there after I let her out waiting for her to lift her tail and start...

I should add that the condo area and run space now has a tarp over the carpet, so she is not peeing directly on the carpet. I did try to make the run space smaller, but that did not seem to matter. She still pees within minutes of getting out of the condo.
