Thanks for the responses. I thinkhowever, that my inquiry somehow got misinterpreted here, perhapspartially due to my leaving out details regardingmy specificsituation,as well as the use of such wordsas'friend, friendshpand companion'. Also there seemsto be anassumption or implication that...

No it does not sound weird and the thought about clothing didcross my mind today. In fact, I have been fostering a gp who just went to her forever homeon Saturday. I would have kept her but was advised strongly by my vetsthat there should be no contact between her and the rabbits due to...

Thanks Pam. I have learned alot from all of this.

Thanks Randy for the informative response. Ialso find it interesting that you mention your rabbit was having a mildcase of GI stasis along side this. Poe was originally tested for parasites with my other bunnyBuni. All showed clear on him, but Buni wasdiagnosed with pin worms. She was put on...

I am looking into a new friend/ companion for mysmall Netherland Dwarf bunny. To date he is notneutered, but so far he has been completely unagressive,territorial or sprays. All he likes to do is kiss/groom meand my husband. Not sure yet for a range of unrelated reasons, but I am thinking about...

I wish I knew the answer to your question. Are the animals bonded? Once twoanimals bond,itismy understanding that it is best to keep themtogether. I have no idea statistically just how many rabbits and guinea pigs haveor have not passed unhealthy bacteria to theother. If I find any more info...

Buck Rogers, Pipp and Honey Pot, thank youfor the replies. All your experiences are ahelp.

I certainly understand your reaction. Before Igot this information I would let the little gp I am fostering have alittle play time with my gentle male rabbit Poe. He loved to kiss herbehind her ears (where gp's have a bald spot) and she seemednot to mind it at all. In turn she would try to...

Thank you for the travel info!
