I try to always stay to Alfalfa and Timothy Hay based pellets, not milling seeds or soy pieces or something else; it helps to see what the first 2 ingredients are listed as, it may give you some clue as to how "healthy" they are.

Hi everyone, I adopted Tim in January, he is a male about 9 months old now. Though he is very comfortable with me in the room, and loves to be pet and will chase me around the room, he is NOT a big fan of being held. Today I noticed him favoring standing with weight on his right front...

Liam (7-yr old parakeet) wants in on this new cage (Tim's!)

Tim hates routine. We have to switch it up to keep him entertained. I keep a whiteboard in the kitchen tracking how he likes stuff. Right now he's into red and green bell peppers, parsley, basil, broccoli, and green beans. We switch it up, and mix with things like Romaine lettuce, carrots, and...

Here is Tim doing a string of binkies, the last one ending with a faceplant into the cabinet! He's not so graceful. See video below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeVeN7zcbjg

Tim is such a sensitive sleeper, I couldn't get a good shot without disturbing the beauty sleep!

Thanks for this post. Tim is biting my ankles for attention (I think) when i am doing things, mostly for him (i.e. cleaning his dishes, changing the hay, etc!). I have been yelling and trying to ignore him, but he seems to know it works to get my attention! I will try some of these other...

thats good info to know, thanks for asking. I totally agree, I would take her home in a heartbeat!

Good post. My bunny really drinks very little, or it seems. I have given him both bowl and bottle daily, doesn't show preference for either. I wonder how much they should drink per day? Someone else posted once about feeding them vegetables recently washed and not dried, "tricking" them into...

I think that new set-up is a great choice. Its tough because they are pretty nocturnal sometimes, and we are obviously not, so being locked up at night can irritate them (and their keepers!). Let us know what happens. We don't have the same scenario at my house (Tim runs the kitchen, haha) so...

Hey Peter. Litter training went well for me, so I can share my tricks and see if it helps you. Maybe some of the issue is your bunny associating the litter box with the "relaxation spot"; if you could make another area of the cage more attractive as a sleeping spot (a hutch like the plastic...

I agree with Kate's comments, the spinach can be irritating, and the stress never helps. I think you are doing the right thing, and as long as their behavior is consistent, it will probably right itself.

Hi Susan. I work at a shelter and they had this issue with a bonded pair. As Danielle mentioned, bittering agents work great for this. I would have to say that the bitter taste when she self grooms is less of a threat than incorporating some injury from her ferociously clean partner! Put a...

Hey there. I think your situation would make me a little nervous too, mostly because you do have the other rabbit eating so much. What about Popcorn's bathroom habits? Have you noticed a big decrease (maybe you were implying that with the descript of Peaches'...?)? How comfortable with you...

See the video here. Warning: my camera-work is a bit crazy, so take caution if you get motion sickness! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dIzJgrxyOg

Well at least my bunny isn't totally crazy if yours do a similar thing. I did put some soiled stuff inside the cage one; i'll check tonight if he has changed his ways yet! Thanks for the help!

Jen, I just wanted to say that I wish more animal owners/care-takers were like you. They clearly are so important, and you treat them like the royalty they should be treated as! I love the houses you have for them. Kudos to you and your crew ! ~Emily

Hi all! Totally new to bunny-love, so I am grateful for all the help. My new rabbit (Mini-lop/Jersey Wooly mix), male, 5 months old, neutered, came home on Sunday. He has been adjusting wonderfully, a great addition to my home! My one question is about litter-box training... he has one...

Nancy McClelland wrote: I appreciate the list, but just so its clear, that is definitely Romaine, I don't allow iceberg in my house (its gross!). The lightness just indicates the proximity to the ground portion, and is still full of good bunny nutrients.

The 2nd day at home for The Wizard Tim ("Whizzy") was super-good! When i let him out of the cage when I got home from work, he pretty much came right out. i felt really bad because he ran around the corner and did a ton of poop, so maybe he is not happy to go in the cage? There was a little near...
