Sorry if this is a bit long and ranting. Slight back story. About 2 years ago, I think, I got a second rabbit, Ggio. He was a 5yr old intact male, and I got him from a rescue that said they would neuter him for me, only they never did. I was in no financial situation to neuter him myself, so...

Hey everyone! I thought I'd give you an update. It took three sessions with warm water and a rag, over two days, but his eye is cleared up. It wasn't his eye itself, like the eyeball, just gunk in the fur around the eye. And no infection or anything, my vet has told me what to look for for that...

Hi everyone. I'm feeling like a horrid owner right now, so Please don't make me feel worse. Xenos is a 6.5 year old intact male Hotot Lionhead mix. He has head tilt, has for years. Last week, I was overwhelmed, dealing with an ill fiance and an ill dog, and fighting off the flue myself. Ever...

I've tried the am pm feeding thing before, for another reason (Basically I was trying to put him on the same schedule as my other rabbit) and after a while, he started to loose weight. He's always been a grazer, and he was just miserable when he didn't always have food. He always has hay, but...

For some strange reason, my rabbit has started peeing in his food bowl. He's an intact hotot mix, about 5 years old. Nothing has changed... Same cage, same litter in his litter box, same food, same amount of out of the cage playtime, everything is the same. But he's decided that his food bowl...

Lol, I had the same issue with Xenos. At first he would run off and clean himself, then he started just ignoring me or looking at me defiantly... Luckily he's a pretty good rabbit, so it hasn't been a real problem...

So, one of my two buns is a rescue, and the rescue I got him from has promised to pay for the neuter. I will (hopefully) have the money for it on the 2nd of next month. But, I'm leaving for over a week of vacation on the 15th. I'm not sure how soon I could get him in for an appointment, and I'm...

I was wondering how to deal with this too. My buns aren't bonded yet, but once they are... One get's free fed, because he doesn't gorge himself. The other will eat anything you put in front of him, no matter the amount. :rollseyes I'm going to have the same kind of issue with litter habits...

chupacabra

I've been using the wood pellet litter for my rabbits for a while, and I love it. I've considered switching my cat to it as well, but I've been hesitant to make the change. Well, it just so happens that I forgot to buy cat litter last week. So today is clean the boxes day, and I have no kitty...

Cardboard is a wonderful thing. I have my whole basement bunny proofed with cardboard and you can't even see it. for example, i have a desk i didn't want the buns to get under, because of cords, so I wedged some cut boxes under it, but i put then about a foot back from the front of the desk, so...

Once it warms up he'll get to run around in our yard, and since we have a cement driveway, I can encourage him to spend some time running on that. His free time right now is spent running around the basement, which has cement floors, but it's the smooth type, not the rough stuff. Also, same...

Ggio thumped for two days straight when I got my cat. He was not happy.... Eventually I went in and thumped back at him for like 10 minutes. He would thump, I would stomp my feet, pause.... Thump, Stomp, pause.... It took a bit, but he got the point, and stopped thumping, lol. :biggrin2:

About a year and a half ago, I went through a really rough patch where I didn't think I could afford to keep my bunny, Xenos. I gave him to my aunt and her 4 kids, thinking that they could better provide for him. I'm not sure exactly how long they had him, it was a very hectic point in my life...

i have a few carpet covered pallets in my bunny room, that act as a stepping stool for Xenos, who's cage is about 2 feet off the ground. Xenos has always ignored them, but Ggio *loves* to dig on them and rib up the carpet. I don't care that he's destroying the carpet on the pallets, but I'm...
