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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

My two male holland lops were neutered fairly recently and completed their box training. Since then, I've been allowing them free run of my house. They have access to every room in the house except for my father's room, which has a lot of unprotected wiring. It's been about four or five days...

I recently got my two Holland lops neutered, and their litter habits have sufficiently improved to allow free run of the house during the day They're both male and approximately seven months old. While I was petting them yesterday, I noticed how incredibly skinny they were, and I was...

I was wondering if it's safe to give rabbits whole radishes instead of just the greens. I've got a parrot, and I encourage her to eat radishes because of the calcium content. Obviously, though, the bird doesn't need a whole radish. I usually give her a single leaf and a few 1-cubic-inch blocks...

A guest in my home left a thing of Oreos on the floor, and one of my rabbits got a hold of one. He ate about one-eighth of one cookie. Should I be concerned?

I was wondering if the lichen that grows on Red Alder (Alnus rubra) is okay for rabbits to eat. It's a light colored lichen with a very pleasant smell that seems popular with every rodent or rodent-like creature I've met. I gave a very tiny amount to my rabbit Peter, and he adores it, but Jack...

This has been something my dad's wondered about for years. I figured this would be the place to ask about it... About 30 years ago, my dad rescued a litter of young wild rabbits after his cat killed the mom. Since this was before the internet, his resources were extremely limited and he had to...

In another thread, I noticed mention of an indoor garden for rabbits consisting of plants and a protective screen to prevent overgrazing. I thought hey, that's a pretty good idea! So, I think I may try that once my rabbits are old enough for fresh greens. But the problem with indoor plants is...

Hi everybody. I recently got my first pair of rabbits, and I joined this forum in hopes of learning more about them. I knew some about rabbits before I bought them, but I'm still learning. Originally, I was wanting to get a dog, but my dad bought me a pair of Holland lops. They're brothers, 11...
