Rabbits can be very forgiving, provided you make amends quickly. After an unhappy experience, make sure you follow up with a treat or petting or both. If there's an unhappy experience and no treats to follow up or anything, your rabbit will link you and unhappy experiences together. You can...

Rabbits are territorial. Your pair are defending their territory against the stranger, the new rabbit. The new rabbit should have a safe space to use for housing and exercise without being harassed by the established rabbits. They will need many play dates in a neutral area like a clean...

I read somewhere that if you create a bonding experience, it'll bring them together. For example, if they don't like car rides, put them all in a box together and go for a ride around the block with a driver. It's kind of like going through a shared, stressful experience with another person...

"What sharp teeth you have..." "Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!" Yeah, the blood made me a bit squeamish too. Too "bad" Sir Callebaut had his lower incisors removed.

I only have the one rabbit, but according to all the articles I've read: Changes in behavior can be a result of discomfort. You might want to take them for a check up at the vet. If everything's okay let Bugsy run away from Bryn, you only have a problem if Bugsy decides to fight back. Bryn...

Wow, I didn't realize how lucky I was to have adopted an adult, neutered male. I also have a skittish cat that came first and a confident rabbit that came second. At first I baby-gated the hallway so that the rabbit could have some space and the cat could go in and out if he needed...

Good thread. I was looking for more info because Sir Callebutt had an incident of diarhea but was otherwise normal. He also leaves cecal smears all over. However, when I left on a two week vacation and my parents were looking after him, he seemed to have a lot less as there were...

Don't even think about it.

He food preps in kitchen for waiting rabbit master. Also an excellent groomer for those bothersome shedding seasons.

"I see you trying to sneak up behind me." Sir Callebaut chilling in the hallway.

Sir Callebaut decided to have a minute of shuteye by my feet while I was at the computer. Kizza, I also check to see if he's breathing. Sometimes he's out so deep, I'm pratically breathing on him before he wakes.

The first cage you picked out will be fine, as long as Benji gets free time out of the cage. I keep Sir Callebaut in http://www.mrpets.ca/Products/Product.aspx?ID=11955&&categoryid=7 and it is smaller than the one you picked out. As long as it fits a litter pan, possibly a shelf or a...

A lint roller! Awesome, I will try that next. Usually I just pluck the shedding fur off but he usually hops away after a minute. I've tried a flea comb, bristle brush, slicker brush but the most fur comes out with gentle plucking. If I get him when he's in the right mood I can pull half a...

I was allergic to all feathered or furry animals up until 6 months ago when I moved to an apartment and my cat became an indoor cat. Then I got a couple air filter units ($100 to $200 each from Can.Tire), a hepa-like vacuum, a steam mop, wipes for the cat, Aerius/Claritin/Reactine for me and my...

Taken from http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/litter.html#litter "Compressed sawdust pellets: are inexpensive, highly absorbent litters used in many foster homes. They are made from softwood or hardwood sawdust, but they are not toxic because the phenolic compounds are removed during their...

Thanks, everyone :) You're probably right, Marrie. I think if my boyfriend and I do decide to get a rabbit friend for Sir Callebaut, I will probably check the local House Rabbit chapter first. I went to RAPS because it was close to work and I really do like their cat project. I'm just...

Thanks, Shaina :) I contacted our local House Rabbit chapter (http://www.vrra.org) andI was told that they've already tried making suggestions to RAPS about the way they care for rabbits. I was assured that RAPS does an adequate job considering they are city funded. I'm still not happy about...

Thanks for sharing :)

Second check up and vet removed some of the sutures. He said that Sir Callebaut is doing great. The remaining sutures will dissolve. I will be taking him back in a couple weeks to see if his teeth need shaping or when his teeth will need shaping. He is eating well, pooping and drinking at...

Hi! I'm going to have to Google those :D It's great to have so much experience available at this forum :biggrin:
