My dad got his allergy test back today, he is allergic to rabbits, cats, and just about most small animals. We have four cats that remain on one level of the house my dad does not go on, but for obvious reasons my rabbits cannot reside on the same level of the house as the cats. That leaves me...

I will look into that, thank you! I never considered an air purifier :)

I think it was just a personal choice, watching how young my buns died when I was a child. But that also could have been my parents unwillingness to take them to the vet when they were ill. I'm in MD. In the summer temps can reach above 90 on hot days, but most often are around 80ish.

I don't think it is the hay, I never had problems with it when I had outdoor buns. At times I also wonder how fair it is to my dad, considering I still live under his roof. His allergies are worse than mine, he is in constant distress, and can't even set foot in or near my room =/ The bun's cage...

I have 11 ratties and three rabbits in my bedroom, and long before my rats came into the picture I suffered from horrible allergies (About the time I brought my first indoor rabbit home). Lately the sinus pressure has become unbearable, I have chronic headaches as well, all in all, I'm...

We went to the vet yesterday and she suggested Miconazole for an anti-fungal (or ah..something to treat yeast infections). She wanted to do a skin scraping and send out something to see if it was a fungal, but I couldn't afford the $100 for both test right now =/.

My rabbit, Snowball, seems to be missing some hair on her nose. It has gotten a bit larger in the past couple of days, I think because her cage mate, Frosty, has been pulling hair out. I don't know if this is from a spat between the two, or it could be something more. I'm sorry my pictures...

Unfortunately, no, she isn't spayed. I was thinking about it when I first got her, but with advice I decided against it due to her age. I think the frustration is also having a rabbit "given" to me by my brother. He never really wanted her, and took care of her to the barest minimum.

Recently my brother dumped his 7-8 year old lop eared bun on me, and to be honest, she is a mean old lady. I have attempted to liter train her and keep her on fleece like my own buns and my ratties. She refuses to be litter trained and pooped all over the cage and sat in it when she had a litter...

I had posted before regarding my brother's senior Bun, Nova who is 7-8 years old, unspayed. After advice from this board I have decided against getting her spayed. I have decided to attempt bonding my three buns. These buns are: Snowball (spayed) female-Aged 5 Frosty (Neutered) Male-Age 3-4...

As far as I know she was a pet store rabbit. I'm not quite sure. I'm estimating she is 7 or 8, my mom got her for my brother when he was much younger. My own buns never seem to live that long. My male died at about 6 years old, leaving his cage mate behind. I adopted another bun for her...

Thank you for your help. I will not get her spayed. Should I attempt to get her a friend, or let her spend her golden years alone? She is used to being alone, and I was not sure how hard it would be to bond an unspayed female to another bun. Or if it is even possible.

My brother has had his rabbit for about 8 years, and never really taken the best care of her. He keeps her cage clean, feeds her, and provides her with fresh water. her cage was to small, and she never really got out. I now have her under my care, she is in a much larger cage (2x4 grid, two grid...

I'm sorry if I confused you. My brother had them outside together, and when my pair came in they were fighting. Nothing violent, but the male became nippy. We went ahead and built her a cage on top of the other one, she now has a cage that is two grids wide and four long, and two tall. She is...

My brother has a female bun who is about 8 years old. While he feeds her and changes her, he does not really like her or take care of her emotional needs. I have been on him to spay her but he refuses, and currently i cannot afford to do this. I hope to save the money in the next few months, but...
