I was a nervous wreck when I got Honey neutered :D Everything went smoothly and he was basically himself by the next day (though I kept him in his cage for five days before giving him more room). I'm sure your little man will be fine!

Ellie wrote: With Honey it works; he hops away if I don't react, because the reaction is exactly what he wants--it doesn't matter if it's a good or bad reaction, he just wants one. Idk how it would work with your rabbit, though, if he's actually leaving marks and biting really hard. Probably...

When I'm sitting at the computer and Honey wants attention, he'll come over and nip at my pants/shoes/feet, whatever is easiest at the time. If I react, he binkies and runs away the little brat...so I've been trying to just ignore him. He doesn't nip hard, so it's not like it's too bad. I don't...

Even when Honey was just a baby, he was extremely interested in the cat and the cat would always run away from him. Now the cat has gotten used to him and will stay in the room and basically ignore him, even when Honey gets in her face, lol. It always amazes me how dominant rabbits can be, even...

If she's never had veggies before it may take awhile for her to try them. You would still want to introduce them one at a time, as well, so you can see if they cause runny droppings. A favorite of a lot of buns is cilantro and dandelion greens. Honey used to turn up his nose at green pepper, but...

I do have to say that for some rabbits, peeing on the bed/couch will not stop even after neutering--it's a pretty common complaint. Honey still pees on my bed, and he has been neutered for seven months, now. He's PERFECTLY litterbox trained other than that one thing. I think because it's soft...

Hi and welcome! Rabbits really don't need salt licks in their diet as they get all of their minerals and such from a good quality pellet, vegetables, and lots of hay (which is important for digestion and wearing down teeth). Pine shavings are actually not the best idea for bedding--they're...

I have used soil for a digging box before--I just made sure it was plain soil with nothing else added to it and put it into a large cat litter box. Set out a huge sheet on the floor so the dirt would mainly get on the sheet: I didn't keep the box out for long, though. I just give it to...
