I also use wood pellets, for pellet stoves, for my rabbits and people comment all the time how they didn't even know I had rabbits because they couldn't smell them, LOL. Closing up the house for the winter I definitely need something that controls odor. I get mine from the hardware store.

I use a hay rack, some gets through on the outside of the cage, but most of it gets in the rabbits. It's also right above the litter boxes

What was he getting vaccinated for? I've never heard of anyone vaccinating their rabbits

Rabbits drink a crazy amount of water. My rabbits drink about 34oz of water in 2 days! They are adults though and one is a flemish giant mix. About 5-8lbs. They also eat a ton of hay, so be prepared to give as much hay as they will eat. I've gone through about a half a bale of hay in 3 months...

Rabbits don't like being picked up. It's like a big hawk carrying you away. They are prey animals and ate best left on the floor. I coax my Flemish in my lap while sitting on the floor and pet her that way

Could be, I definitely would get your rabbit eating ASAP! Best can lead to stress, which can lead to gi stasis, which is fatal. If your rabbit stops eating, I world get to a vet immediately

My rabbits get a half cup, but they eat a boat load of hay. I have had one if my cats ALMOST pee in the bunny box and I say almost because I pulled him out. Risky I know, but he was just getting settled in. Even if your rabbit is free range, you could still give him a little cage to do his...

That is where males mark territory. My male chins everything!

My hay is dusty as well. If I ever found a moldy flake, I'd just throw the rest away. Hay from a farm is cheap enough. I got my bale for 5 bucks

1.apparently he doesn't like where you have placed the box. This happened with my doe. I put the box on one side and she peed on the other! It only took me one time to learn, so I placed the box where she had urinated (after cleaning it up of course) And TA DA! Litter trained bunny. Same thing...

No, no, no, get them out of there. At least for a couple weeks while it's working

Sounds like he might have gotten some dust in his nose. My guys do that if the hay is too dusty. I sneeze too when I get out. Maybe that's all. I would keep an eye on it tho and determine if he does it whole sticking his nose in a big pile of hay. If not, I might take him in, just to be on the...

I meant special order the blue seal. Whichever pellet he is already on.

If I could afford to, I would feed oxbow. Ask the pet stores around you if they can special order the sweet meadow for you. If it's a smaller pet store, there's usually something they can do. I also use hay from a farmer, $5 for a 25 lb bale. I got one that's a mixture of grasses and a little...

Hay is something that you don't need to transition and should be given free choice immediately. Grass daily and carrots can be given sparingly ( I give greens daily and carrots once a week). Anything else like lettuce, kale, turnip greens or spinach, give a little at a time until you are sure...
