Any chance you could show us a picture of what his poop looks like? And what is his diet/amounts? It's also a little unclear from your post, but is he pooping at all today? Not pooping for 24 hours is definitely an emergency. Have you established care with a rabbit-savvy vet yet? That info will...

I used to guide 14 day backcountry trips, so I've done my fair share of camping and can't wait to do more. TPBM is experiencing a cold snap right now. (It was -7 F outside this morning and my apartment was 50 F until I got a fire going)

I'm so sorry that you are going to lose Herr Hase, you love him very much. I hope you have some peace in knowing that you are making a good decision. I lost Neal when he was almost nine and his loss was a tough one. I'm not generally a person who keeps a lot of sentimental keepsakes around, but...

Exactly that, it's a terrible system where you get to guess when you get to the register! I live in a state without sales tax as well, but it's always a surprise when I leave the state

Sorry to say I don't have a link, but when I was looking for a similar solution (my buns can't walk on hardwood to save their lives) I went to Lowes and bought the cheapest outdoor 10'x10' rug available (~$30). It's low pile and beyond a little wear in favorite nap spots, practically...

That looks a lot like a Dutch, likely a Dutch mix depending on size and features as he matures (There are quite a few Dutch mixes out there roaming the world and their features are very distinct). I'm always hesitant to give concrete answers regarding breed in rabbits of unknown ancestry, but I...

I traditionally buy two big bales in the early fall at ten dollars apiece from a local feed store that tend to last me to mid-summer with two ~7 lbs rabbits. It's the best deal for the best quality I've found. Unfortunately, my region had a drought this year and thus a hay shortage, so the store...

I love how much of a lounger she is!

Benign just means non-cancerous. Benign tumors don't generally need to be removed unless they are causing discomfort or changing behavior. Some animals are just lumpy. I wouldn't panic, I've seen a ton of benign tumors and they are normally nothing to worry about. If you are very worried you...

I have a bun who LOVES to rip up the carpet and will not be redirected or deterred. I covered my entire floor with a cheap, low-pile 10x10' rug (Lowe's is a good place to find one) with linoleum covering the carpet on the edges. It worked great and was so much easier to clean. Highly recommend...

Very interesting! I have not been in contact with any vets who supply or carry the vaccine in Montana yet, although pressure is being placed on the Montana state vet to bulk order and distribute. While approved, it looks to be a while out from being actually accessible to rabbit owners. The...

These little hoppers could make some very important discoveries https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/25/welsh-rabbits-serve-up-prehistoric-finds-on-tiny-skokholm-island

My sister, Willa and Foxwell's co-owner, is pursuing journalism and working on a piece related to the US RHVD2 outbreak, specifically how it has changed the rabbit owning community. She was curious if anyone on the forum would be willing to discuss if the current outbreak or risk of the disease...

He looks a little like my late lionhead mix, Neal. From how often you see lionhead fur in mixes, I am under the impression it has a pretty strong genetic influence. Purebred lionheads are quite small and appear a little more lightly built, at least to my eye. My Neal was a mix of lionhead...
