I currently have 4 bunnies. 2 which are actually mine and 2 belong to my sister that had no where else to house them. What I have done to help reduce the cost is buy huge bags of litter. My 2 bunnies are bonded, so I only have 1 litter box for them. Then each of my sister's rabbits have their...

Hopefully the Advantage works. If it does not, contact the vet for Revolution. I can vouch that it works well. My 2 rabbits got fleas from our dog, and the vet gave me Revolution. She even divided out the dosages for me so I would give the correct amount. I got enough for 2 treatments per bunny...

Hi Everyone! It has been forever since I have been on this forum! Its great to get back and read up on some different things. I have a slight dilemma I am hoping some of you can help me with. My wife and I have went from our 2 bunnies (Rupert and Babs), to housing 2 more for my sister. They...

I did go to the vet for some Revolution. She split the dosage and everything for me so I just had to apply it straight to the bunnies. :) However, she did not say anything about the fleas being able to come back in 10 days. She gave me 2 dosages for each rabbit and told me after 30 days to...

That makes sense. Thanks for the info! I'm just hoping I don't have to make another trip to the vet. :/ It gets pricey !

Our dog had fleas a couple months ago and we treated them on her plus cleaned our house very well. We also keep our dog away from the bunnies and out of their room. So, it seemed unlikely that the bunnies would have been able to contract them. Well, today while taking care of Babs because she...

Seems like you got it figured out which is good. I saw this post listed and I stopped to check it out because one of my rabbits liked to jump over the same kind of barrier you had set up. My wife and I use those cube shelving panels, and before my male rabbit was neutered we separated him...

Babs, my female mini-rex, grunts all the time. She just has a bad attitude! :P My wife and I ignore it all the time, but typically that does not stop her. She always hops away from us when we try to pick her up, and that is usually accompanied by the grunt. There are times that we have heard...

My wife and I own a Mini Rex named Babs. While she is not a boy, I would assume their breed is the same all the way around. We got her when she was 6 weeks old! The person before is right on. This forum is great for specific questions you may have along your journey. Just post and you will...

I have a really good vet, its where I take both my rabbits and my dog. They are probably the best vet hospital in the area I live in. Its run by a husband and wife who are very educated and care a lot for every animal that comes in their office. The wife of the couple is the doctor who actually...

Isn't it funny how all rabbits seem to like cardboard boxes and toilet paper rolls?? That's the kinds of things I have given to my bunnies too. I also had some weeble wobbles, you know, the toys that never fall over?! They LOVE them! They toss those bad boys around all day long. I had them from...

My wife and I keep our bunnies inside and always have. They actually get a little scared if I take them outside. They just stand and shake. The vet told us inside was the best decision too. Buns can get sick more often if they are outside because they have to deal with the flies and other things...

Definitely trim them. They can get soooooo long! Our mini rex, Babs, had some of the longest nails ever! We deemed her "ghetto" because of her long nails and bad attitude! HA! :P The vet trimmed them up nice for me though when I took her in today. My wife and I trim about once every 2...

Its been FOREVER since I have posted on here, let alone about this issue! Rupert, unfortunately, has not gotten any better with this issue. He mostly scoots around now, trying every once and a while to get on his hind legs to actually hop normal. He still eat, drinks, and goes to the bathroom...

So Ruepert got neutered 5 weeks ago and since I have noticed his back legs seem very weak. I thought it was because we kept him confined to the cage for a while so he didn't get to hop a whole lot the first couple weeks. Once we gave hin free range of the house I thought the strength would build...
