Has anyone ever tried this cage? I have read mixed reviews. I might want to get the 37in wide one for my rabbits and am curious if anyone has any experience with these cages and if they are any good. Here is the link for it on amazon...
I will be getting my mini rex pair in a few weeks and I am very excited. They are only 3 months old right now so I have to wait until September to breed them. The male is a broken blue otter and the female is broken black. What do you guys think? :) The doe already has a name on her pedigree...
I am Facebook friends with a breeder in Lake Wales. She breeds both mini rex and polish. I had originally been totally set on getting a mini rex until she told me about polish. She seems like a really great breeder. She always answers all of my millions of questions lol and she handles the...
I would like to get a baby from a breeder so I can bond with him. A few years back I got an adult mini rex doe and she never bonded with me and wanted nothing to do with me despite my efforts. I was always sweet to her and gave her the very best care, even gave her a ton of time outside of her...
I can't decide which breed to get. Which one do you think would be best for me?
Here is what I am looking for:
1) enjoys attention
2) enjoys being handled
3) laid back and easy going
4) affectionate
5) never bites
Please only answer if you have had experience with both...
And I know some people said that getting a mini rex instead wouldn't help a lot, but the fact that it could help a little is why we are going with that breed. We pick out a baby on Friday and get him at the end of June after I get back from a trip I'm going on. I'm still in the process of trying...
Ok, thanks. I just bought timothy hay cubes, but funnybunny said that they are even more dusty than loose hay, so I am thinking about taking them back and getting regular hay and just feeding it to him outside or something.
Thanks, everyone.
Ok, thanks. But what about the timothy hay cubes? Can I use those instead of loose hay as long as the rabbit gets enough fiber in his diet?? I really think they hay cubes would help with the allergies to hay since it is compressed.
This is from the rabbits for dummies book:
For those of...
Ok. I found this forum post on another website:
"No, you cannot feed them hay cubes instead of loose hay. Hay cubes are not long fiber, they are small pieces of hay compressed together. They don't do the same thing for rabbits like the long loose hay does.
Loose hay gives them long fiber...
Wow, thank you for all of the great info!
So can I use hay cubes instead of loose hay or no? I think I kind of got mixed opinions about that. I am looking to eliminate loose hay completely if possible.
Ok, we did a test tonight. I took a piece of hay and a bit of his rabbit fur and taped each seperate onto my boyfriend's arm in different places. Both came up with bumps so he is obviously allergic to both the rabbit fur and the hay. So here is my plan... The breeder that I got the rabbit from...
I found this telling that rex rabbits are more hypoallergenic:
