    Input on most effective butt bathing method?

    Hi everyone, it's been several years since I made a post here. A year or so ago, I had to rehome my two holland lop rabbits because I was unable to care for them. I recently got them back because the family said they underestimated the work required, and the contract I had them sign obligated...

    Grate for a litter box?

    Good news, I found a suitable grate for my rabbits' litter box! I went to the local warehouse store and found a three-pack of cooling racks. I bought them because they were stackable, and I figured I could just pile them up to an appropriate height in the box. But when I got home, I discovered...

    Grate for a litter box?

    I'm considering getting a grate of some kind for my rabbits' litter box. The other day when I was cleaning out their cage, I realized why I kept finding poops and litter scattered around. It's not because they are purposely defecating outside the box; rather, it is because of the way they move...

    Sleeping with your rabbit? Has anyone done it?

    Oh, certainly not. I think the only time I would consider it again is when they get old. I would imagine that, like cats, rabbits slow down as they age and sleep for longer periods of time. In which case, rabbit slumber parties might become more tolerable.

    Sleeping with your rabbit? Has anyone done it?

    The night before last, it got VERY cold in my apartment. In the absence of an available cat to buddy up with, I took both of my rabbits and put them up in my loft bed. At first I was a little afraid that they would jump off, but they didn't. They seemed acutely aware of the height, and never...

    Best toys for bored bunny?

    One toy my rabbits really enjoy is a good kong toy. Y'know, the hollow dog toys you can stuff with food? My rabbits love them. I just put a carrot stick or some parsley inside, and they're good for a couple hours at least. I found kongs to be extremely useful when they went through their...

    Oats as in oatmeal - can bunnies have this?

    I give my rabbits oats from time to time. The digestive system of the rabbit is very similar to that of the horse, and grains such as oats are often considered an important part of the horse's diet in restricted quantities. It can't hurt. I have found that I must keep the oats under lock and...

    Claustrophobic bunny?

    Thanks for the ideas. I picked up a set of 9 panels at the goodwill for five bucks... It won't make a cage, but I was able to add a temporary second floor to the existing cage, until I can actually get my hands on a larger quantity of panels. Both bunnies seem quite content. They're not even...

    Claustrophobic bunny?

    I don't have a picture of my cage personally, but this is where I got the cage: http://www.petsolutions.com/My-First-Home---X-Large+I45160230+C40001929.aspx I realize it's very small. I got it because I figured they wouldn't be spending as much time in it, and they don't usually. They go in to...

    Claustrophobic bunny?

    Seems I've had a lot of questions about my bunnies as of late... Well, here's another one. My rabbits have free run of my room at present (used to have run of the whole house), and I've taken to caging them at night at my father's request. Their cage is rather small. It's just big enough for a...

    Lop ears

    I got a picture! Peter was lounging in the living room, and the neighbor's dog started barking outside.

    Lop ears

    Cool, glad to know I'm not alone in this! :D It's pretty neat, seeing them do that... It reminds me of dogs in disney movies that have floppy ears, but lift them up to listen. Very comical.

    Lop ears

    I've read in several places that lop rabbits apparently can't move their ears or lift them. My rabbits appear to be different, and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this in their own rabbits. Normally, my bunnies' ears lay flat against their heads. But when something interesting or...

    My rabbit is terrorizing my cat.

    Good news! The spray bottle thing seems to be working. I just feel bad for my cat, cuz it was a little rough on him. I leashed him, and then attached his leash to the doorknob so he couldn't just take refuge on the top bunk. When Peter approached him aggressively, I sprayed him down good. It...

    My rabbit is terrorizing my cat.

    I don't think keeping them caged would help much either, but I'm willing to consider all options. I'll try out the spray bottle thing, and moving their home base to the spare bedroom. It's not even both rabbits that are causing trouble, and it has only been going on for a short period of time...

    My rabbit is terrorizing my cat.

    It helps, but not in the way I'm looking for. At least I know I'm not the only one! :) I'm looking more for ways to encourage them to co-exist peacefully together again. As I said in my post, I would not tolerate this behavior if my cat were the aggressor, and I'm not going to tolerate it when...

    My rabbit is terrorizing my cat.

    I have two male Holland lops, neutered, and about seven months old. Jack is slightly bigger at 4.5 pounds, while Peter is at 3.5. Now, I also have a cat named Kenai. He's a large male ragdoll mix weighing in at about 20 pounds. Now, one would think that my cat could easily defend himself, but...

    Why have my rabbits become asocial?

    They've had free run for about a month, and recently I had to confine them to one room because they left a big urine puddle on my living room carpet. The day after that, they left a giant pile of poo by the bedroom door. That was around the time they stopped wanting anything to do with me in...

    Why have my rabbits become asocial?

    Weeks ago, I allowed my rabbits to have free run of the house after they were neutered and litter trained. They used to be very affectionate, loving pets who enjoyed being held. Now, they want nothing to do with anyone, including me. They don't even want to be touched. Why is this happening? A...

    Sudden behavior change since given free run?

    I figured as much. Why is it that they're only comfortable with me, though? Is it just because I'm the one they're most familiar with? They've always been very submissive to me (they yield to me when I push them aside, fawn over me and groom me, et cetera), and I'm the only one who can...
