Well all 5 survived and are cute as little fluffy buttons. I've moved them out into my greenhouse so mom can run around but they are in a cage with the door open. Mom gets secured with them at night but then during the day I open the door and mom can come and go as she pleases. Ignore the loud...

Have you tried using a dremel? I use a dremel on all of my animals. Even the rabbits actually tolerate it pretty well. That way you don't have to worry about clipping the quick.

No mom pee, she has her own litterbox on the other side. I just noticed baby poops when I did my check this morning and I don't want them to get sick. I'll keep an eye on it and refresh their nest as needed.

Well we're at day 4 and all 5 are doing well. Everyone seems to be a good weight and all their fat little tummies are filled with milk. They were making little grunty noises this morning during pictures. Their little ears are so adorable. Question, should I clean the nest box out at all or...

Well they are all doing well. Fat little tummies and super wiggly this morning.

Here's the doe and buck. Doe is a bew and the buck is silver? Not sure what his coloration is considered. The babies are doing well. All 5 still warm and wiggly. They aren't wrinkly so I'm assuming she's fed them.

She's already been on unlimited hay and pellets as she and her mate were rescues I took in. They were underweight so they've been eating unlimited since I got them. I did pick up some additional alfalfa hay yesterday and put that in with her and they've been getting hay cubes on top of that...

Well they finally arrived. 5 wiggly babies. They all seem healthy and not missing appendages. I quickly checked them and covered them back up. Do I check them every day? Do I leave them alone? I feel like a nervous mother. I am totally unprepared for this but I do have KMR and bottles on hand...

Any idea how long I should wait for babies before it's a potential crisis? She's pretty young, I think about 8/9 months and I have no idea when the buck mated with her as they were kept together when I got them.

She's only been on the mazuri for a week, I don't know what they had before as there was no food in their cage, just old yucky hay. They are both underweight. I had to bathe them they were so filthy. Her fur was dark yellow almost brown and the male wasn't much better. I'll just stick with what...

She's on Mazuri Rabbit pellets which only has 14% protein. The Hay is an alfalfa/orchard grass mix and then I add timothy hay into it so it's a mixture of hays.

She's on unlimited pellets now, she's got a dog feeder that holds 10lbs of pellets and she's got half a bale of Timothy/orchard/alfalfa mix. I'll switch her to higher protein pellets though. Thanks

I got two rabbits about a week ago. They were left behind at a foreclosure and a friend of mine called me to come rescue them. They are holland lops. They were kept in the same cage and I separated them when I got them because they are a male and female even though I was told they were two...

I like the first one but I looked at the site and I like the three level better but I can understand price constraints. PS. what kind of tortoise do you have? I have 3 russians and a redfoot.

Honestly I've had a rabbit develop sore hocks on nothing but carpeting in a 9 ft square enclosure and even lost all the fur off his feet so it's not accurate to say that a wire bottom cage and immobility causes sore hocks or that carpeting prevents it. Regardless I think in this case though...

I'd get some eye drops from the pet store or saline and thoroughly flush out the eye. It looks as though she may have gotten some foreign matter in her eye that irritated it. If it still looks bad on Monday then you can take her to a vet but it doesn't look like she has any severe eye trauma.

I wouldn't wrap the hocks in anything because if the sore hocks are from urine scald and he's peeing and just sitting in it the wrapping can become saturated in urine and just compound the issue.

I would just offer pellets with no oats and see if she will eat them. I'm not sure why you would remove all pellets anyway to prevent loose stools. Did the vet advise you to do so? If so have you consulted the vet about putting her back on them? What else is in her diet at this time and what...

Honestly this sounds like kidney disease. I'd have your vet check his kidney function. If it turns out to be kidney disease you might be able to treat him with Azodyl. It worked for my 16 yr old cat but I don't know if it will work for rabbits. It's a type of probiotic. Just ask your vet...

I feed Mazuri Rabbit pellets. Here's the nutritional content. http://www.mazuri.com/PDF/5E12.pdf I stick with 15% protein pellets and high fiber. I've also fed Pfau but it's hard to find. Mazuri can be ordered from any feed store if they don't already carry it. I do want to...
