I don't know what happened. It seemedlike Beckham had such a good day. I didn't try to pet him inthe cage and I only lifted him out twice. I fed him lots ofhay and changed his water three times and fed him raisins to soften himup before I took him out. But tonight when I went to get him out and...

I'm in bunny love! Here's my baby boy's drink of water that was captured for the first time on film: http://www.youtube.com/v/XGgBBSAv1lM And here's a couple of pics of his first day at our house:

I know dogs and cats remember people by theirsmell. Do bunnies do the same thing? I've beentrying to remember to wear the same sweater when I hold Beckham so thathe can smell himself on it but I wasn't sure if he'd remember mysmell. Also when I clean out the hutch and then put him backin, he...

Getting more hay is not a problem since I livenear Amish country but I'm wondering if I need to stock up when theyharvest (autumn) or if one bale will last a while. It seemslike Beckham is going through it pretty quickly. He must bean emotional eater. He gets that from me. Dominategene. Also is...

When you hold your bunny to pet and brush it andthen wash your hands, don't then try to brush off your shirt with damphands.:nosir:

He's still doesn't seem real crazy about me yetbut he didn't try to run away when I took him out to clean his hutchthis morning. And he didn't try to bite me when I brushedhim. I'm feeling a little more confident today. Isat and watched him groom earlier and wished I'd had mycamera. He looked so...

I know I'm ridiculous. It's only beenone day but I'm worried. He's still really scared and won'tlet me hold or brush him. Is it terrible if I don't brush himevery single day? I'm also worried I haven't fed him enough or I've fed him toomuch. He looks/feels like he's about 4-5 lbs. Sofar he's...

Please say hello to Beckham! He'sreally skittish right now and I didn't want to take a pic with theflash so I used the video and captured a still from that. I took this using natural light but it's not great. He looks matted in the pic and he's not matted at all. He is a German-Angora...

Somewhere along the way in all the stuff I'vebeen reading, I know I read something that said bunny waste can becomposted. I can see how that would work fine but what aboutthe litter? Will wood pellets break down quickly enough orwould I just need to sift the litter?

I really wanted to name my last child Eleanor and call her Ella forElla Fitzgerald. I'd have gone with Sarah for Sarah Vaughnbut Sara is my name and that might have been awkward. AnywayEleanor got shot down by the hubby and now she is Evelyn instead, namedafter noone in particular. I want to...

I have an answer! I posted on agardening site since I couldn't find anything that definitively saidyes or no. A fellow gardener who has two pet bunnies said herbunnies eat her hostas every year and they're alive and well.Another person said they especially like the tender newleaves. They both...

I should have known better since I've been posting on message boards for years. Sorry! My name is Sara. I'm a 30 year old stay-at-home married momof four children aged 13 through 5 years. I don't have abunny yet but stay tuned because it's in the works. The bunnyis NOT for my children; he or...

Well I found an interesting site about the damage wild rabbits do to gardens. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1031.html It lists hosta as "Plants Moderately Damaged" so obviously wild rabbitseat hosta. There's even a pic of damaged hosta on this page...

I can't see on any of the lists either hostas orferns. They're not listed on either the safe orunsafe. I'm not sure what that means. Surelysomeone must know. I'll have to keep hunting. Thanks for the info on lilies. I'll transplant them to besafe. It seems like bunnies can't have plants with a...

I was planningon planting hosta around the area where my bunny is going to have it'srun. Before I buy the plants and put them in I was wondering if youknow if hosta is toxic to rabbits? I don't want to feed themto the bunny but I know that it's possible for the leaves to hang intothe fencing...
