    Thinning rabbit

    Peaches and Popcorn have been getting a lot more freedom lately. I used to let them out for about an hour at a time and put a timer on so I wouldn't forget to shut their cages. I know they can jump over the NIC grid "fence" but they don't seem to want to - which is good. Lately I've been leaving...

    what does your farmer's hay look like? I hope it's better than mine...

    I finished off my 50 lb box of Oxbow hay and thought I'd get some farmer's hay since the Oxbow costs about $100.00 to get shipped to me. I got the bale of hay for $10 cuz my parents were supposed to pick it up but at the last minute decided to have the guy deliver it. It's pretty big about...

    Got a new puppy - desperately need help

    I've been wanting a puppy for a long time and I finally got hubby on board but he didn't want the dog I wanted - I like big dogs, he likes small. I wanted a Bernese Mountain pup and he didn't. We found a farmer who had a miniature American Eskimo mix 3 month old pup (yeah I know bad idea now...

    Grunting - can this be a good thing? or just conversation?

    Popcorn seems very vocal. He sometimes chews his poops (not his cecals, the other ones) and they're on his floor or shelf in dusty bunches. The other day, I grabbed them to toss them out and he grunted at me. He sometimes does the same when I pick up the dropped hay to put back in his hay bin...

    Newspaper or not in grated top litter box?

    I was wondering if I should continue to lay down newspaper in the bottom of my rabbit's litterbox. I'm using a cat-size litter box and I put a few layers of newspaper on the bottom. I then sprinkle wood pellets in the used corners and put a lighting grate on top. Now the newspaper does absorb a...

    How can I tell if my bunny is not feeling okay? or sick?

    I'm a little worried about my 1 year old male lionhead Peaches. His poops seemsmaller (but I may be mistaken if I compare them to my other poop machine Popcorn makes has poops worthy of a Flemish).His poops are normal, jsut a bit smaller (which could be because he's gettingdifferent types of...

    Yeah my local petstore got Oxbow stuff

    I've been having to go about 45 minutes away from our house to Petsmart to get bunny stuff - like food & hay. I even ended up ordering a 50 lb box of hay from Montrealcritters so I wouldn't be stuck going every month or so. Well on a whim my daughter and I went to the petshop to see what they...

    Stupid hubby - shouldn'ta listened to him!

    I managed to put Popcorn outside inan Xpen - he was skiddish at first, but then he seemed less nervous after a little while. Hubby says "Why don't we let Peaches out and Popcorn will see him and be less nervous" I knew I shouldn't ever listen to him. Peaches was outside and wandering around...

    Gurgling sound when drinking

    When my bunnies drink, it sounds like gurgling water down a drain. They make a gurgling sound when drinking. I know it's probably normal, so how DO bunnies drink? I know they don't lap water like dogs & cats, do they slurp? Just curious

    Catching my bunny in my yard - how to?

    Yesterday I let Peaches out in the backyard. Out of my two rabbits, he's the big softee, he'll lay down for pets and when he's out in his run, he'll do binkys but because he's a teddylionhead he seems much larger than Popcorn who's a single mane lionhead & much slimmer, his binkys are much...

    If I wanted to switch from Oxbow Basic T - would any of these be okay?

    This - Petsmart - is about the only place I can get bunny food (except for the bulk barn that sells pellets of unknown origin - I think they're corn based) I can get 10 lb bags of Oxbow pellets from Montrealcritters but it costs about $17.99 + $9.99 shipping for an order. I see that some of...

    After bonding - who's cage should be used?

    I want to bond by two bunnies, but was wondering who,s cage they should both live in after they are bonded. Would it be the bunny who is the dominant or the submissive bunny? Is there a difference? I'd like to combine their cages and I won't have the time to doa thorough cleaning before...

    Will territorial pooping ever stop?

    My two boys (both fixed) have their cages & runs next to each other - Peaches doesn't seem to mind that Popcorn's nearby but Popcorn leaves poops all along the edge where their runs meet. He was fixed on Feb 18 so it's been two months now. I want to bond them together, but Popcorn seems too...

    Popcorn was so kicking mad this morning!

    OMG! Popcorn was so kicking mad this morning! My son got up early this morning and decided to bring Popcorn upstairs with him. Normally he'll watch TV with one of the bunnies on his lap. This morning, he set him up on a blanket in the kitchen while he ate breakfast. He brought up his litterbox...

    Love humping & grunting many months after being fixed.

    Yesterday I was petting Peaches who's been neutered since September. He was sniffing my arm and I was worried that he was smelling my other male & I thought he was gonna bite me, but I held my end. What he was doing was doing that sniffing that they do before they're fixed. He grabbed onto my...

    How do you find your free-roam rabbits? too many places to hide

    I was looking at pictures of rabbits lounging all over the house - I'd love to let mine free roam but we have too much hardwood & linoleum so it's too slippery for them and they hate it. But I was wondering how you manage to find your rabbits if they,re allowed to go anywhere? I'm sure they find...

    Flopping after being seemingly stressed - is that correct?

    This is super weird behaviour and I don't get it. My son almost always has a bunny on him in the morning while watching TV. He'll get one of the two and have it on his lap, or next to him on his TV chair. Peaches always seems to charge at him during the day like he doesn't recognize him but in...

    Boxing rabbit - is he mad?

    Quite a while back I asked if rabbits did anything with their front paws - like hold stuff. Popcorn has a plastic slinky that he can play with, if I stretch it up high, he'll use his paws to lower it. Lately, he's also taken to boxing with his fabric scrinchy tunnel - he'll box away at it and...

    Bonding in a tub - is it large enough? Can they still circle each other?

    Yeah I know it's not a good thingfor them tocircle each other I'm trying tobond them but I want to make sure that I can read the signs properly in the tub. Hubby wants me to just let them loose in the yard when the snow melts and let them explore, but I have a groundhog under my shed (stupid...

    String of dark pearls - good thing or bad?

    Both my bunnies are lionheads, one now looks like a regular bunny with a bad haircut he's lost most of his mane, the other is a teddy lionhead and all fluff. I've often found strands of pearls in their litter - they eat lots of hay and they're brushed at least twice a week. Is it okay if they...
