I'm also severely allergic to timmothy. I feed Gaston mostly orchard grass with occasional other hays for variety. I'm also on Omnaris, which is a nose spray, daily (If you talk to a DR about this there is a program where you can get it for $11 a month for a year, and it works amazing), and...

He looks almost my Gaston! If you do choose to keep him I just wanted to let you know my rabbit has been once of the most rewarding pets I've ever had. You'll find lots of great information on this forum! I'd give you more advice but I'm just learning myself. :)

I've seen most people use an "H" harness meant for cats, but all the ones at petco/petsmart have a extra strap that goes between the front legs, which I don't want to use with my bun just to make putting it on/off easier. I did find out that Lupine makes the right kind of harness for what I've...

My great uncle and his wife had a house bunny several years ago (before it was a common practice to see them in the house) and they were well into their 50's. Age isn't a reason to not have a rabbit (unless you couldn't provide it daily care of course). I would caution that you don't get...

Unless they have a good caretaker that ISN'T her, they'd probably be better off having stayed at the pet store. This is the same woman that couldn't be bothered for a week to pick up a kitten after it was neutered, and there are reports from her staff and neighbors that she locks her little dogs...

I think the biggest difference is pellet size. The rabbit and small animal stuff has slightly smaller pellets. That and the cat stuff is less than half the price because pet stores love to mark up like crazy to small animal owners. >:{

Your bun might also not need the grids to use as ramps. My bun looks like he's about the same size as yours, and he can easily jump from one level to the other. You might be able to re-configure the shelves to give him more sprawling room on the upper levels. I zip tied cheap little rugs on top...

Bunny parents wrote: Many rabbits don't like to be picked up. My Gaston is one of them. He's just like yours, and will run all around when let out and likes to lay close to me (but not too close) and likes occasional scratches, but he hates being picked up with a passion...

I've only been shopping at Petsmart for supplies and mine doesn't carry oat hay, so I haven't tried it. I have been wanting to though. Also I'm going to start investigating feed stores and talk to some of my co-workers who have horses to figure out where to get better hay for cheaper. It...

Thank you guys. That's what I figured about the hay, and there are more varieties I can try. I'm technically allergic to all grasses but the reaction to any but timothy is tolerable. I just wanted to make sure it was alright for him and he wouldn't be missing any nutrients or anything. The...

When I first got my bunny I tried alfalfa hay and he HATED it, so I was feeding him timothy, which he loved. Then I went to an allergy doctor. They did the poke test on me with timothy and the red stain from the reaction went all the way from the tip of my finger to above my elbow (the poke...

Gaston's bunnehbutt!

A couple pictures of Mr. Bunnypants! (Gaston)

I might stick around more! lol. This forum is way more interesting than I thought it would be. And it's nice to be around people who won't think I'm crazy for giving my bunny his own Twitter. :3

Hello everyone! My name is Kylie and I currently have just one rabbit who is named Gaston. He's about 8-9 months old, and has Himalayan coloring, although he is just an adorable muttbunny. Gaston is a housebunny and I never realized until I got him just how engaging and fun he'd be to have...
