I'm seeing prices around $3 -$4 a bail. If the quality is good, then awesome. If not, then it's not worth my time. Good idea comparing it to what I have now. And good call on the cardboard box, it gets pretty humid in the summer here. Thank you!

I'll look into ordering online as well. I'm not sure of the quality of the local hay here as I haven't seen it. That is a concern of mine though.

I'll have to ask the farmer that posted the ad if it is straight timothy hay. It's posted as such, but that is a good question and something I wouldn't have thought to ask. I was thinking a large Rubbermaid tote to store it in, but that wouldn't keep it ventilated, just dry. No shed here to...

We just got a 2nd rabbit to bond with B and have been going through a crazy amount of hay since he is a huge hay & greens eater & seems to go easy on the pellets. So I'm looking to buy a bail of timothy hay locally. How should I store it? And how long will it keep? And is it a good idea to do...

I frequently see B up on the couch with our cat Miley. They seem to get along very well. I have also gotten to see B flopped on the living room rug beside the cat and dog. Sometimes the hamster will join in her exercise ball. It's pretty funny (and great of course) to see all of them coexisting...

What about putting another litter box in the other room? Probably will spoil them even more though :D

She would generally spend the whole day under the chair & come out in the evening to eat. I've got it blocked off now. I think I had read that they are active in the morning & evening and rest during the day. I'll try giving her a box though, I would like her to have another spot to relax in...

In order to pick B up (which she hates & acts mad at me for hours after) I have to wrap her in a thick towel with her head poking out, otherwise she kicks and bucks, tearing me up in the process.

Background: We've had B since last July (got her as an 8 week old bunny). And she has made huge amounts of progress since being spayed about a month ago. I've been bitten and scratched by her previously just feeding her or maintaining her cage. Since her spay, I have not seen any of these...

I agree, the cage is too small. The rabbit has also probably hit sexual maturity & needs to be spayed or neutered, the mood swings are because of surging hormones. A exercise pen meant for small dogs would probably be a better choice & they are pretty inexpensive. It is great that bun gets that...

Some people make a base from plywood with 2 inch trim around it and then put stick down linoleum tiles over the plywood. You could also lay down a shower curtain and cover that with a blanket or sheet if you have hardwood you're trying to protect.

I also agree that you should have him neutered as soon as you can afford it. B is a week past spay & I am already seeing small improvements in her behavior. Like Wickett, she did not tolerate being picked up & has scratched me & bitten me a few times. I have been working with her for about a...

Dorms are very expensive. You could easily pay rent with the money you would spend on dorm fees. I'd look for an off campus apartment. You might even consider finding someone to room with & splitting the rent to keep costs even lower.

Poor Muppet! :-( Unfortunately, the woman we adopted our dog from just got her 3 daughters each a bunny for Easter. It's truly disturbing, she said she didn't have time for Daisy (our dog), kept the other dog she had & then a few months later got another dog which they either named or was named...

I was having some problems with B being aggressive (biting and scratching) but I was always reaching into her cage. So I moved it down to the floor so she could come out and roam more freely during the day without me having to reach into her cage. Then multiple times a day for the last week I...
