Hi everyone, it's been several years since I made a post here. A year or so ago, I had to rehome my two holland lop rabbits because I was unable to care for them. I recently got them back because the family said they underestimated the work required, and the contract I had them sign obligated...

Good news, I found a suitable grate for my rabbits' litter box! I went to the local warehouse store and found a three-pack of cooling racks. I bought them because they were stackable, and I figured I could just pile them up to an appropriate height in the box. But when I got home, I discovered...

I'm considering getting a grate of some kind for my rabbits' litter box. The other day when I was cleaning out their cage, I realized why I kept finding poops and litter scattered around. It's not because they are purposely defecating outside the box; rather, it is because of the way they move...

Oh, certainly not. I think the only time I would consider it again is when they get old. I would imagine that, like cats, rabbits slow down as they age and sleep for longer periods of time. In which case, rabbit slumber parties might become more tolerable.

The night before last, it got VERY cold in my apartment. In the absence of an available cat to buddy up with, I took both of my rabbits and put them up in my loft bed. At first I was a little afraid that they would jump off, but they didn't. They seemed acutely aware of the height, and never...

One toy my rabbits really enjoy is a good kong toy. Y'know, the hollow dog toys you can stuff with food? My rabbits love them. I just put a carrot stick or some parsley inside, and they're good for a couple hours at least. I found kongs to be extremely useful when they went through their...

I give my rabbits oats from time to time. The digestive system of the rabbit is very similar to that of the horse, and grains such as oats are often considered an important part of the horse's diet in restricted quantities. It can't hurt. I have found that I must keep the oats under lock and...

Thanks for the ideas. I picked up a set of 9 panels at the goodwill for five bucks... It won't make a cage, but I was able to add a temporary second floor to the existing cage, until I can actually get my hands on a larger quantity of panels. Both bunnies seem quite content. They're not even...

I don't have a picture of my cage personally, but this is where I got the cage: http://www.petsolutions.com/My-First-Home---X-Large+I45160230+C40001929.aspx I realize it's very small. I got it because I figured they wouldn't be spending as much time in it, and they don't usually. They go in to...

Seems I've had a lot of questions about my bunnies as of late... Well, here's another one. My rabbits have free run of my room at present (used to have run of the whole house), and I've taken to caging them at night at my father's request. Their cage is rather small. It's just big enough for a...

I got a picture! Peter was lounging in the living room, and the neighbor's dog started barking outside.

Cool, glad to know I'm not alone in this! :D It's pretty neat, seeing them do that... It reminds me of dogs in disney movies that have floppy ears, but lift them up to listen. Very comical.

I've read in several places that lop rabbits apparently can't move their ears or lift them. My rabbits appear to be different, and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this in their own rabbits. Normally, my bunnies' ears lay flat against their heads. But when something interesting or...

Good news! The spray bottle thing seems to be working. I just feel bad for my cat, cuz it was a little rough on him. I leashed him, and then attached his leash to the doorknob so he couldn't just take refuge on the top bunk. When Peter approached him aggressively, I sprayed him down good. It...

I don't think keeping them caged would help much either, but I'm willing to consider all options. I'll try out the spray bottle thing, and moving their home base to the spare bedroom. It's not even both rabbits that are causing trouble, and it has only been going on for a short period of time...
