It’s been a couple months since my bunny, Shadow, passed away, and I’m beginning to feel ready to bring a new bun into my heart & home. I’ve also wanted a cat, but was leery of bringing a cat home with an older bunny. Now I’m thinking I should get a bunny and a cat at the same time. Can anyone...

Binky free my sweet Shadow girl. Eight years just wasn’t enough time with your sweet soul. We’ll have to catch up again on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

To start at the beginning, I brought Shadow to the vet on Friday because she wasn't drinking her water at all, was hardly eating anything for the past day, and had almost no deposits in her litter box over the past 24 hours. She wasn't acting lethargic, but her activity level was a little less...

My rabbit, Shadow, used to be terrible about peeing on our couch. First the old one, then the new one. After a while, and lots of shooing her off, she seemed to stop. She hadn't peed on the couch in several months, and we got to the point that we could trust her to come up and sit by us or lay...

I got a recipe from a friend of mine to make guilt-free banana "ice cream". It's actually just bananas. You peel & slice a few bananas, freeze the pieces, thenthrow them in a blender. It comes out the consistency of soft serve ice cream, or you can put it in the freezer to get the consistency of...

First, I guess it's important to know Shadow's normal diet. She gets 1/8 cup of timothy pellets twice a day, as well as a handful of Orchard Grass 2-3 times a day (for some reason she won't eat it if it sits in her bowl too long). Along with this she gets either a baby carrot or slice of apple...

Shadow finished her last round of meds almost a week ago, and is now healthy. All of her tests have come back good, too. She's back to normal behavior except now her litter habits have changed (they changed AFTER finishingthe meds, not during). Everything is coming out like it should, and has...

Can anyone provide me with some pet insurance companies in the USA that cover rabbits? Everything I've found only covers cats and dogs. Thanks in advance!

Ijust got back from a week-long vacation and noticed that Shadow's left ear is droopy, like a floppy eared bunny ear. Her ears usually stand up straight unless she's completely relaxed. I called the bunny sitter, and he said her ear was fine this morning. I can't get agood look inside of it -...

My daughter had a bucket of crayons, pencils, etc on the living room floor while Shadow was out. She wasn't paying attention, but she showed me a tip eraser with a small piece missing from it and told me that she thought Shadow ate it. When I went into the room to look for the piece Shadow had a...

I'll start by saying that my concern stems from Shadow's first vet visit after I brought her home in March. The vet told me that her teeth were a little sharp, but nothing a little extra chewing couldn't take care of. She suggested that I give Shadow plenty of chewing toys: toilet paper tubes...

Ever since I started feeding orchard grass with her timothy, Shadow has been picking out just the orchard grass. I stopped giving it to her to get her eating the timothy again, but I still have a lot of orchard grass left that I don't want to waste. Is it okay for buns to eat only orchard grass...

We recently finished off the first bag of pellets that I bought when we got Shadow. Without thinking, I had dumped the pellets into a storage container and threw out the bag. I know that she had timothy pellets, but I had no idea which ones exactly, so I just picked outsome newtimothy pellets...

OK, bear with me while I try to describe this odd behavior, or rather, what I did to evoke it. I was calling Shadow to me from another room, and was trying to pique her interest with a different sound. I was sitting on the floor and used my fingers to quickly "crawl" back and forth over the...

Oh, where to start....We recently got a new couch. The old one belonged to my mother-in-law, who had a dog and two cats. Shadow used to poop all over it. We tried putting an extra litter box on it to teach her to go in the litter box instead of on the couch. We tried putting her in the litter...

I learned something new today. Maybe it's common knowledge out there in the wide world, but it's news to me. I use Yesterday's News, and the clerk at the pet supply store told me that the EXACT SAME LITTER costs less if you buy the"cat" litter bag. You get 20lbs of "small animal" litter for $15...

Shadow decided that she likes to gnaw the rubber buttons off the remote control. We have caught her every time, and I don't think she even cares to eat them. She chomps them off and piles them up. She just can't stand the sight of the buttons attached to the remote! It won't be long before she...

I recently switched Shadow from a bowl for her hay to a hay rack secured to the side of her cage. The onlyreason I switched is because she kept dumping her bowl upside down. Now she doesn't want to eat from the rack - shewaseating the stuff she dumped out of the bowl until I cleaned it all out...

After losing our first bunnyon February 13, a lionhead named Sunny, I wasn't sure we would get another rabbit. I told my daughter, Kaitlyn (7),that we would get a smaller animal, maybe a hamster or guinea pig. We had gone to several pet stores to check out the animals, but neither of us seemed...

I'm still pretty new here,and I have found this to be a very welcoming community for rabbit lovers! I completely understand how easy it is to become obsessed with ourrabbits. We only joined the rabbit family about a year ago, when we took in a lionhead named Sunny. His owner was moving across...
