I used to have my rabbits(3) in a rather large, closed off space in my home. I ended up having to move them outside because the third one could not be litter box trained, and he ended up peeing on the wood floor several times (which is very difficult to clean). So then I bought a large hutch for...

Dolly has this issue: http://myhouserabbit.com/rabbit-health/poopy-butt-in-rabbits-causes-and-treatment/ The thing is that her diet is very balanced, and she has plenty of fiber to eat. She is the biggest of my 3 rabbits (mini-rex), but she has always been a big girl and I have never had this...

Update: I started to clean the hutch differently and made sure there wasn't any moisture in there for long. I can happily say his feet have lots of hair, and he is doing very well overall!

Thanks! I will definitely change the litter more often now, how often do you change your rabbits litter? I haven't heard of urine burn before, I will try putting some neosporin on his hocks tomorrow.

After cleaning the rabbits hutch today, I decided it was time to trim my rabbits nails. My rabbits (3) live in a large, instillated hutch outside. During spring and summer, they go outside in the grass for several hours a day in an enclosed pen. Today I noticed something was wrong with Patrick...

Todays bonding went well at start, but Patrick had a little freak accident. His nail got stuck in the carpet , and ripped off. :( It said online to just clean it up and put anti-bacterial ointment on it , so I did that , and he seems fine. But, now I am going to wait a while to try bonding...

Any help???

I know exactly how you feel. I really think its the breed , Dutch. My dutch boy is the same way. He nips me all of the time and refuses to have his nails trimmed or to be combed. But, we seem to bond over playing more, which helps him get closer to me. He really likes this one toy...

I would try different kinds of litter or bedding. When I was litter box training mine, I used "rabbit litter" and "aspen litter" and he seemed not to like either of those at all. So I started just using aspen bedding, and it worked! That combined with some hay made a perfect litter box, and I...

I never updated this thread: I did cover it in hardwire cloth, and it did work , for a while at least. But, over time they kept finding new spots to chew and I couldn't really avoid having them chew it, so I decided to put the hutch outside and use an x-pen and dog cage for a new home for them...

Rupert and Dolly did ok together. Basically, she just ran around while Rupert tried to mount her, but she didn't seem unhappy about it. Hopefully these two will get along! :clover:

I could really use some advice or ideas on bonding my 2 male rabbits. This morning , decided to place them both in neutral territory , which seemed be ok at first, but Patrick started acting very aggressively towards Rupert. It would be find for 5 minutes, and then he will chase Rupert around...

Here he is:

I got my new rabbit yesterday, Rupert! He is a 3 year old Harlequin (fixed). So far things are going good, he wasn't litter box trained so I'm working on that, and right now he is just in a big dog cage and I don't plan on taking him out until Patrick and Dolly get used to him. So far , Patrick...

Hello Everyone! I haven't been on for a while , mainly because the rabbits have been so great! I have 2 , Patrick (boy, Dutch , fixed) and Dolly (girl, Mini-Rex, fixed)and I am ready for number 3! So when I was in the process of getting dolly , I read on here that boy and girl pairs well...
