I cut Kit's nails, which is no mean feat as he's a wild hare and he's not easy to catch and not easy to hold. To begin with, I'd avoid it as much as possible because I dreaded having to handle him. As a result, his nails got so long they were pushing his toes into strange positions. I discovered...

Kit is kinda weird in that he had an isolatedupbringing. I took him just about everywhere with me when he was stilldrinking milk and he got cuddled and nursed and babysat with all sortsof strangers. He travelled on the bus, in cars, in a bag on a bike, andtucked into my rain jacket. He...

Okay, now for what we're up to at present. On the weekend, we moved Kit and Bonnie to my boyfriend's house. I'mslowly moving in with him. The rabbits were at the top of the list ofthings to move here because they were lacking in space back at myparent's house where they've been staying for the...

It's my birthday. Not that that's significant,but it seemed like as good a day as any to start my bunny blog andproperly introduce myself and the lagomorphs. My current enjoyment of rabbits is entirely attributible to this image right here: This is Kit about two days after I rescued him from...

The only advice I can offer is to take note whenshe does it and ignore it. I know it's hard to ignore it when it hurts,but I've nipped a few nippers in the bud by ignoring them when they didit and pretending I didn't even feel it. Kit tried it on me when he wasstill a baby and his teeth weren't...

I've moved my buns back and forth plenty oftimes. They used to come stay with my parents for little holidays.Parents lived about a 5 hour drive away. I have a large cat carrier anda small portable dog cage. I put the bun in the cat carrier and Kit thehare in the larger dog cage. Kit doesn't cope...

When I got Bonnie at 12 months old, she was veryhand shy due to some thoughtless handling from her previous owner, whousually picked her up by the scruff of the neck. I tried everything Icould think of to try to get her used to being touched, but couldn'tget past her forehead. She wouldn't let...

Mine are inside for a few reasons. Firstly, when I got Kit, I didn't have anywhere secure outside to puthim. He was so tiny, the magpies thought he was fair game. He was superclean inside, so he stayed inside. Secondly, keeping Kit inside made me realise how neat it is to live inclose quarters...

*waves* New member, here. Kit really needs to be let out every night because he's a wild hare and he gets antsy if he doesn't get free range time. I usually let him out for at least 3 hours. He mostly spends those 3 hours under my bed, but hey, whatever keeps him happy. Bonnie is a...

Hello! I was pointed this way by a fellow i-dogger over at the dog.com forum. I only discovered the joys of rabbits as pets recently. It all started with a lonely hare leveret suffering an ant attack. Picking the ants off his distressed little body, it occurred to me that I didn't know...
