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...

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...

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 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 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...

Almost 5 year old male, has has a bout of Stasis and a couple of bouts of gas before so I know what it looks like. He appears to be in extreme discomfort, lying in the "sphinx" position. I've been at work for the last thirteen hours so I'm not 100% on what he's eaten all day. His stomach is...

I've been planning on getting Gracie spayed when she reached 1, but she's starting to get out of hand. She consistently charges me whenever I open her cage door, but stops when she reaches me. If I reach into a different area of her cage, she will charge me again. She was already 6 months old...

So I will most likely be getting a new rescue dwarf in the next week or so. I've been gathering supplies and making all my preparations and I think I'm as close to ready as I'm gonna get. I'm going to get him/her fixed and then attempt to bond them to Kashi, as they're going to be living side by...

So I've been getting a LOT of flak lately from everyone who knows me about how much I spend on my pets. Due to the recession and my lack of job experience, I've been jobless for years, up until February when I got a job at my uncle's restaurant. Background: I have an almost-six year old...

So, I've told the story of how Chloe came to be my princess and I her lowly vassal elsewhere on RO, but I thought starting my own blog would help me put into perspective just how much our relationship has changed in the past ten months we've been together! I guess I should introduce myself...

Chloe is a rescue bun, and we've had her for about ten months now. (she's sitting next to me on my computer chair and nudging my elbow for pets right now) When we first got her, I did some research and decided that she was probably a Rex, but the more I read about how their coat length, the more...

My name's Kitty, and I have a very pretty nine pound 'little girl', Chloe. Someone abandoned her in her cage outside of a pet shop last July, and after a week or two of being a foster bun, she fell into my lap! And she is spoiled rotten, bunny style. :)

Last July, my family decided to rescue a rabbit one of my neighbors relations had found abandoned in her cage. She showed them a picture of a cute little black bunny, they said yes, and one week later we got to meet Fat Al, as the bunny was known. We quickly discovered that the rabbit was, in...
