    Rabbit litter box cleaning help?!

    As other have suggested, scrub with warm soapy water, then add white vinegar and let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes. Then scrub again and rinse really well. I have 2 litterboxes for my bunnies, and they seem to prefer peeing in the one in the back. So I move the cleaner one there as I clean the...

    What's Their Lifespan?

    My very large English lop was at least 9 years old when he passed. Someone had turned him loose and I found him outside the office. He was an adult, vet estimates about a year old. I had him a little over 8 years. Coolest rabbit ever. Miss you Bob !!

    Can rabbits eat bananas?

    Mine love bananas ! I save them a bit of mine every day. I didn't know you could feed them the peels, is that better for them than the banana itself ? And I have to watch when I'm cleaning the condo and putting veggies in there for them. My young dog will steal bananas and carrots LOL.

    Extra-sheddy mini-rex

    My orange mini rex sheds like crazy, but my black one on occasionally. I have an extra grooming mitt for my horse that I use on them. It's made of rubber and looks like an oven mitt, but has lots and lots of tiny bumps all over it on both sides. But it's very soft. The rubber really grabs the...

    What if you can't get alfalfa pellets for a baby bunny?

    Can you get alfalfa pellets that are designed as supplemental horse feed ? I give these, and mixed alfalfa hay cubes, to my bunnies in limited quantities. They enjoy both.

    Is natural bamboo okay for bunnies to eat ?

    Whoops I realized that I should have said '1 or 2 inch' sections ... not 1/2 inch sections. I'll give them a bit this weekend and see what they think

    Is natural bamboo okay for bunnies to eat ?

    I was thinking of it as an occasional treat-type thing. Do you think if I cut the stalks in 1/2 inch pieces and just gave them a few it would be okay ? They are hollow and I thought it would be fun for the bunnies if I stuffed them with hay. I'm always trying to keep things interesting...

    Is natural bamboo okay for bunnies to eat ?

    My friend has a ton of bamboo that grows around her property. Her goats absolutely love to eat the greens. I collect willow branches from her house as she does not spray her trees and the bunnies love chewing these branches. She does not spray the bamboo either. Does anyone know if this...

    How do you feed your rabbits hay?

    Hey I just came up with a good idea for a cheap hayrack. Cardboard box - cut some holes in it. Stuff it with hay then ziptie on the side of the cage. The buns can pull the hay out of the holes, and then can destroy the cardboard box too. Bunny Heaven !! :-) May be a good interim...

    Bestest Homemade Toy EEVAAAAH !!!

    I put an old phone book in a large rubbermaid container, then put the whole thing in my bunnies NIC mansion. They have been happily digging/shredding/digging/shredding all afternoon long. My young Sheltie is fascinated, he has been watching his bunnies play all afternoon. I also want to...

    Flooring Question

    It seems there is no straight answer ! I built my NIC cage almost 6 months ago and have been tinkering with the design to improve it ever since. The base is plywood, with a 'lip' around it to keep hay and stuff off the carpet. I've used the glue on vinyl tiles, which are a little slippery...

    Flooring Question

    I used Coroplast on the floors of my NIC levels but my bunnies are chewing on it too much. I use NIC panels as the 'support' and am removing and replacing the Coroplast. I have one level that is wood covered in lino tiles, same as the base. One level is cardboard with fleece clipped on it. I...

    Best online store for hay ?

    I've gotten hay from Bunnybale.com ... their shipping is a little high but if you order a few bales at once it's better. Anyway, the hay is good quality. I also have a bale of horse hay that I give them, same kind as my horse eats (timothy/grass mix). It's also good quality hay, and very...
