I finally found a good home for Sox on Sunday. After several months searching and advertising, I got sick of replies from people who just wanted something 'free' but had no real concern or experience with rabbits. Sox is now with Miranda a lady who is a crazy animal lover. Unfortunately Sox...

After reading this, I've changed over to Breeders Choice. It's convenient that it's available in the supermarket and very cheap. Thanks guys!

Is there a possibility he is terrified of the rubber mat, dislikes the rubber smell or doesn't like black?:?:shock2: I bought a black sheep skin cover for Sox and she was absolutely terrified of it would not go near it. I would put her favourite food on it and she would not go for the food and...

Just curious to know if you guys use flea powder on your rabbit? Well when I go away soon for 2 weeks Sox will be boarded at a place that has 20 rabbits. I am concerned she may catch something. Should I use flea powder on her or after she returns home I wonder. I can't see any fleas on her...

Hi Katie Better Pets & Gardens, City Farmers and all Pet City stores in Perth (all the stores that I have visited so far anyway) only sells what I've been told is Oat Hay. You get a bag for about $5-7 and there are seeds attached to like green stalks of hay and the rest are stalks of creamy...

Welcome Sweets! I am from WA too. Sox and I live in Thornlie. I am new to rabbits too and I've had Sox now for 9 months. Sox is a white dwarf X and she can be a real ratbag and a pain in the butt at time but at other times can be so sweet. I am going on holidays in 2 weeks and I finally...

Exactly what the others mention, home available/made toys. Also just found this link that may be of interest. Sox loves those cat balls with a bell in it. She loves to throw them around with her mouth listening to the bell. Doesn't seem to like the other small balls. She also loves her...

I'm In Perth. We have mainly Oat Hay which all Pet City stores should stock. Also available at Better Pets N Gardens and City Farmers. They normally cost $5-$7 for a gigantic rubbish bag size which lasts me for over a month. Don't know if you have these stores over your way though. Managed...

So sorry to hear that. Hope your lip is ok and that you've had your tetanus shots. First thing I thought of was exactly what Kirby suggested, possibly some soap and/or shampoo you use, perfume or your hair getting in the way? When you mention lunges, could it possibly be a danger reflex? I...

Thanks guys. I really didn't know that unspayed females will really mark territory more so than spayed. At present I can't afford to get her spayed. Sounds like Sox will be envious of all your rabbits who seem to get a whole heap of freedom. I will give it a try tonight, let her have the whole...

I've got one of those playpens. At 7 weeks Sox managed to squeeze in between the bars. Doesn't look big enough but believe me, they can narrow themselves down to squeeze through small area. I went to Bunnings and got those plastic chook wires and that was the end of the escape adventure...

Ok, just interested to know how many of you let your rabbits out to run around in the house? Mine is only allowed to run around in a caged area. The few times I've let her out of the play pen she jumped on the couch and peed!! Also although Sox is toilet trained for the litter box, she also...

I feed Sox her pellets from one of those self-feeders without filling it to the top. Sometimes I have to be away for a day or two and when I do I put sufficient food for like 3 days. She just eats it all like in a day, she just stuffs herself!! :P I used to worry but there is nothing much I can...

Just curious about other rabbits. I've had Sox for 6 months now and he is around 8 months of age. This is Sox's first summer with me. I noticed that his hay intake is kinda lessened unlike winter (it is not very hot summer) and I haven't changed the type of hay but did buy it from a...
