@Blue eyes thanks for the input. Should I move or remove the new hay feeder that's against the opposite wall of the litter box? If so, are both rabbits just eating the hay that's in the litter box? I just want to make sure I'm understanding. I'm using the new hay feeder since they are eating...

This morning I modified the litter box feeder to just a feeder (see attached picture) and put the original litter box back. My reasoning is that the litter box / feeder was a big change from their smaller litter box. Well, my buck was eating out of it in the back corner and peed in the floor...

Background: Our buck is 13 months old and neutered. He and his bonded spayed doe have the run of much of the house and are only confined to their pen at night. For nearly a year they have used a litter box in their pen 100% of the time (except for a few occasional poops outside their pen)...

I will look that up and see. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the input. I'll get in touch with our vet.

Here's another thought that I'd like input on. We are moving our rabbits away from pellets since they are at or near a year old. They are at about 1/4 cup x 2 per day. I give them plenty of timothy hay and they get about 3-4 cups of greens each both morning and night. When I put the food...

I've looked through a couple of publications on weeds in Arkansas. I can't find one that looks like this yet. There are a few sorrels in Arkansas but they don't look like what I have in my yard. I tried both the dandelion (never tried it before) and the mystery plant. The mystery plant is a...

I try to feed my rabbits dandelions every couple of days as long as I can find them in my yard. There is another broad leaf plant that usually grows among the dandelions. I've let the rabbits try them and they eat them as good as the dandelions. Could anyone identify this other plant and let...

I read through the teeth article you provided. I'll try to check to see if there is anything stuck in his teeth. Update: I checked and he doesn't have anything stuck in his front teeth or mouth. I cant' see his back teeth.

He doesn't drool when he's not eating. He has been to the vet twice since we've had him (not for drooling). I fed them 100% dandelion leaves this morning and no drooling. It seems to be just with the lettuce, bell pepper, spinach (juicier greens).

Lately my male rabbit )one year old on Nov 11) has really started Slobbering when he eats. We've not changed his diet. The picture is after he ate a leaf of romaine lettuce and a piece of mustard green.

Thanks again for your input. I was hoping that there would be something we could do to cut down on the shedding but I guess not. I think they both went through a molt a few months ago but it wasn't bad. Also, thanks for the heads up on the protein. I've checked out some foods and have found...

Thanks for the input. I'll definitely be keeping it picked up for the reasons you mention.

Our two mini plush lops (cross between mini rex and mini lop) are now 11 and 9 months old. They are 100% indoor rabbits. About four months ago our doe (9 months) came into heat. The buck had been neutered and the doe was spayed soon after. About that same time we noticed a lot of molting or...

Thanks for the input. We will be taking your advice on this.
