That's what I thought. Dewey was rescued from a hoarding situation with almost 40 rabbits in a basement in Brooklyn, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was a carrier.

I asked my 13 year old brother what he really wanted for Christmas a few weeks ago, expecting him to say Playstation 4 or XBox One, and was pleasantly surprised when he told me he really wanted a guinea pig. My father and I had already discussed him having his own pet, so I immediately began...

This will probably sound crazy-pants, but Linus actually LIKED getting blow dried. He even started purring. I use a little plastic tub to bathe him in, and I support his front with the three finger grab so he feels secure, since he can't support himself on his one hind foot. I'm mostly...

He's gotten a half hearted butt bath once before, but we were both nervous and I kinda rushed it so I could wrap him up in a towel because I was terrified he was getting too cold. Unfortunately, the butt baths are necessary due to the way his tail lies completely horizontally. I have no idea...

I don't know how I did that.

How do you do 'em? What do you use for shampoo, what temp do you make the water, how do you dry them off? I have a three legged bunny and butt baths are going to have to be a regular thing, so I want to work out a protocol to make our lives easier. Any tips or tricks would be greatly...

I have clipped dozens of bunnies nails. I do my neighbors bunnies occasionally, and I used to clip stranger bunnies at the shelter I used to volunteer at. I had Kashi for five years, he used to let me hold him like a baby on his back and kiss his cheek, and he would PURR. The whole time I had...

Anyone use these successfully? I adopted a three-legged guy and his tail lies sideways due to the missing hind leg, so he has a lot of urine buildup around his butt. I really want to keep him clean because I'm afraid of him getting urine scald. His fur is even matting a little. We still have to...

I saw a bunny proof Christmas tree on Pinterest-picture hooks on the wall and pretty green garland weaved through so it looks like branches, and ornaments go on the nice safe hooks. Start it a foot up the wall and they won't even reach it! And, nothing for a cat to knock over either. PS...

I am heartbroken about the loss of my heart bun on Wednesday. My boyfriend has been very interested in us getting another bun, but I was concerned with trying to 'replace' the best bunny ever, so I knew if I adopted it would have to be a really special bun. Well, the shelter I used to volunteer...

He's the super handsome stud in my icon photo, by the way.

I just feel like I didn't notice the signs. I cleaned out his cage today and lifted the carpet in his condo for the first time sine he moved in to it about 3 weeks ago. The carpet apparently hid the stains well, but it looked like he'd been peeing in the corner he usually hunkered down it for at...

I don't think I could handle a Kashi twin. Kashi was so perfect, no other bunny would be able to hold a candle to him. In a few weeks when I'm calmer, I think I would like to bring Gracie to Animal Care and Control in manhattan and see if she can pick a buddy. Hopefully it's a big bunny. I need...

He was my baby. One hundred percent my heart bunny. I'm honestly destroyed right now. I can't even bring myself to close the door to his cage yet because I don't want to admit he's not coming home. He was almost six years old. I thought he might have the sniffles so I was keeping him warm...

Thank you for the prayers, but Kashi passed about an hour ago.

He doesn't want to move, but this doesn't look like gas or stasis for once. I found him this morning lying in a sphynx position, but with his front legs splayed out and his chin almost on the floor. He hasn't eaten anything willingly in a few hours now. I forcefed a little ground up pellet mush...

Ok, well, Kashi seemed to have gotten over his illness, but last night he was gassy again. So I gave him some simethicone, and today I looked at his litterbox carefully and found that he's not pooping as much as usual, and there's a large clump of mushy poos that fused together with some hay, so...

I didn't really explain his history too well last night. He's had pretty severe bouts of gas before, and Gracie is E.C. positive. She's never had a tummy issue, but she's been pretty sick too. I have a big first aid kit for them with syringes, critical care, their own thermometer, their own...

Well, he drank an entire bottle of water last night, and ate a nice amount of hay. He looks a hundred percent better, but he also passed a fecal mass that was about an inch long and 3/4 of an inch wide, so I'm thinking this monster poo that appears to be four or five poos in one was what was...

I dosed him with simethicone, and he drank about an ounce of water. He also showed interest at a rattling treat bag, even though he doesn't want to eat anything. He appears to be a little less uncomfortable too. My boyfriend, who sees him as much as I do, says he doesn't think his belly looks...
