I have both Hazel and White Chocolate in here, but I should probably update with Harvey.

Hi Aldamar, sorry it took me so long to reply. I don't come here very often anymore. We fed Hazel, our cottontail, a diet of mainly fresh greens, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. We offered hay, but she was not keen on it. She prefered fresh greens and grass. I did however dry my own herbs for...

Nice of you to care for that little cottontail! We had a Western Cottontail ourselves :). Hazel lived with us for 8 and a half years. Sorry, I can't help you with the medical care. I hope your vet has a good solution for you. If you want though, I can talk to you about Hazel's diet. I hope all...

Not sure how old Lupa is, but here are some good suggestions on diet for the different ages. http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/diet.html

dubble posting :)

You can start at 3 months. http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/diet.html

Sacramento, currently, moving to Santa Cruz Mountains next summer. Christine, do you have a good bunny vet in the Bay Area? I'll need some recommendations by next year :).

Thank you :) The bunny in that picture is Hazel, my first bunny. She died last july, aged 8&1/2. I'm glad my suggestions helped. They can over-heat so quickly. Hope you can keep everyone cool! And there's some cooler weather on the way it seems :)

Panchomaha, if you can, freeze some water bottles, wrap them in a towel, and put them in with the bunny, so they can choose to lie up against the cold bottle, or not. You can also wet their ears with cold water. I too live in the hot Central Valley, and when our AC broke down, these things...

Maybe her pellets are just naturally small and dark? I know Hazel's were all her life, and she lived to be 8 1/2. She had very few bouts of stasis, except the last year. She ate mainly greens, they were the staple of her diet, but she got a at least 7-8 different ones a day. (I live in...

1) Not much at all. His bowl hardly goes down in a day. He gets most of his fluids from his greens. 2) Last weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces, and still growing. He should end up being about 10-11 pounds. 3) 2 baskets full daily. Not sure about the weight, I will have to weigh some time. I'm...

He was neutered the day before we adopted him. He definitely is a boy. And he "dropped" before he was neutered. I asked specifically about Flemish Giants, so I can have some idea about how old he really is, because he seems to have been neutered young enough to not show hormonal behaviour. Or do...

Could it be that he is small because he was underfed? He was on limited pellets (1/8 cup a day) and timothy hay already. I already upped his pellet ration, and started adding some alfalfa hay. Btw, he measures 17 inches nose to butt, when he is lying stretched out. Might he also be younger than...

Thanks Misty. Can you tell me what you would base this on? I mean, to me he has lots of Flemish traits, but then again he also could be Palomino. That's why I was asking people who might know :) So I guess what I'm asking is basically, what are the differences? To me, a Palomino looks very much...

Can anyone tell me what breed Harvey can be? We were told he was maybe 5 to 6 months when we adopted him (about a week ago). He was just neutered the day before we got him. Last Saturday he had his first check-up with our vet. He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz. We thought at first he might be a fawn-colored...

Thank you, Dave, but I've been here since before you. It's only Harvey who's new, lol. :biggrin: :stikpoke

Today we brought home our new bunny boy, Harvey. We think he may be part (or fully?) Flemish Giant. He's already feeling at home, gave us several binkies, and likes his pets, and his new room. I'll link to my album on Facebook, if that works. Harvey's adoption day

Thanks Nancy. We'll look for the medium size carrier then.

Yes, we are excited :) He's being nuetered today, the poor fella, but we still get to meet him tomorrow, and likely take him home then :) I have the pics from the rescue website, but I'll take more tomorrow, and introduce him properly then. Joey (for now) More Joey
