JB, thanks for all the advice. I'll talk with my wife about it. Just to clarify, we took him to the vet about this stuff about a year ago. We collected samples of his mess for her to check; I don't recall if she was looking for parasites, but she did say there was nothing abnormal in them. Also...

I should explain how the kale thing started. We used to feed all our boys the same stuff - mainly hay and/or timothy hay, plus lettuce, some carrot, corn on cobs, and a mix of pellets and all that other junk. (I know that mixed stuff is "junk food," but the Mrs. picked out their food when all...

Hey folks. Our oldest, Hoppy, has been acting a bit strange since Thursday. He has some symptoms that could be GI stasis, we talked with a vet about that. The main thing there is our vet told us a while back to stop feeding him lettuce and give him kale instead. Well lately he suddenly isn't...

Okay folks... for years I took pride in NOT giving a darn about my lawn. I grew up with a father who insisted on mowing the lawn every single week, and I always said when I had my own house I wouldn't be like that. I have taken pride in the fact that I never mow my own lawn more often than once...

Hey folks. Sorry it's been so long since I've been on here, in case anyone was wondering what happened. My wife and I disagreed at first over what to do with our newest "child." I felt strongly that we should let him/her run free as soon as he/she was old enough, since he was wild and not born...

So far he actually seems to be doing quite well. Last night we were worried because he seemed less than thrilled about the idea of staying in his pet carrier. When we would put him in, he would jump against the door... he didn't want to be alone! So we put my wife's shirt over one end and some...

We got a call from my father-in-law this morning. Yesterday his dog found a wild bunny nest and killed all of the little ones except one. He kept the surviving one in his house overnight and since it was still alive this morning he called us and asked if we wanted to come and get it. (Of course...

Thank you so much for your replies. We were getting worried it meant that he still had one testicle which could lead to cancer, which is bad enough, but which we are particularly sensitive about as my mother died from cancer. We trust the vet clinic we take our "kids" to but we knew they could...

We have had all three of our rabbits neutered. With our youngest, Bugs, there was a bit of a problem. When we first took him in, the vet told us that only one of his testicles had dropped, and they weren't sure if they got both of them. A lab test later revealed that what they thought was...
