Great job, Alek! It is true about the cat and the rabbit. Rabbits are extremely quick learners. ;)

Good luck with it all, Ponyta. I hope you will all be happier in your new homes. :)

Poor Myia! That must have been extremely heart-breaking. :tears2: Did you ever find out what happened to him after you returned him to the breeder? :(

Molasses is essentially a sweet and can do 2 things: make your bunny overweight, and rot their teeth over time. :(

Sounds like something out of the movie Pet Cemetery. Very creepy. Poor bunny must have been a miserable little thing. :(

Does Thumper associate the bathroom as his own territory? Perhaps there is a room in the house that is more neutral or even perhaps outside in an x-pen? Usually, it is suggested that you keep them in separate pens where they can see each other but not touch each other. Then you bring the pens...

Wow. what did your bunny do to make you fear him, Myia? :O

Yes, Oxbow is definitely more costly. But even their regular line has molasses. Only their extremely expensive, organic feed seems good. Sure sucks to be picky me. My wallet is crying because it is lonely without Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Jackson by her side. :cry1: I had a rabbit as a...

Perhaps you might find one in your area that has a similar ingredient listing? The ingredients are pretty ideal. Good luck on your food hunt! :biggrin:

Is that Jack's bum in the photograph? Quite a cutie. :hugsquish: I also just thought of something that might help you in the future if you ever plan on re-bonding Jack with a more suitable mate. It may help you to avoid your current dilemma in the future. I was lucky when I found Eli for...

I agree with Kizza about the two pellets. And she is right on about the molasses. I have been researching extensively regarding rabbit feeds. I only found one I feel good about giving my rabbits: Oxbow's Organic Bene Terra Rabbit Feed. It is not cheap though and it only comes in a 3 lb...

When I adopted Eli from the shelter, the volunteer who seemed to have had a lot of experience with rabbits said the best way was to cradle them like a baby. Mind you, if you can't seem to hold your bunny without getting kicked unconscious, you may want to get that down before clipping those...

I believe 6 months old is best. As Watermelons mentioned, when the testicles drop your rabbit has reached sexual maturity. However, neutering can be a risky procedure. Find a trustworthy vet and good pricing near you by inquiring with the local rabbit shelters and organizations. There is some...

Unlimited pellets and hay is only for young rabbits, up to 6 months old. Adult rabbits (+6 months old) should have limited pellets and unlimited timothy hay. It is recommended that rabbits get 2 kinds of hay (except alfalfa - that is a treat). Adults should eat timothy-based pellets, whereas...

Upon reading your posting, I looked up the ingredient listing of Small World Complete Rabbit Feed. It is surprisingly not a bad feed at all!!! Of course, I would still feed my rabbits hay if I were you. The pellets are alfalfa based with a high crude protein amount at 16%. Adult rabbits should...

How do you react when she charges at you? When Eli become aggressive with me (usually a grunt and a quick pawing), I keep my hand where it was and very still. I have noticed that my rabbits behave that way with each other as well. If one is the aggressor, the aggressee stays still until the...

I'm so happy for you and Nibs, Farmer Steve! Yes, definitely check with the local shelter for good pricing. Please read this site to get all the information you need to make sure Nibbles returns home to you safely from the vet: http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/spay-neuter.html It...

Farmer Steve wrote: I don't think it's a good idea with her. It is not a behavioral problem, in this case. It is a hormone problem. Bubbles is about 5 months old now and waiting 1 more month before she gets spayed. She has already begun to exhibit mood swings, although she's still a doll...

Not eating timothy hay? That is quite unhealthy. Orchard grass alone does not have enough fiber. Is Scone just against eating timothy?

They may be liking the softer, less fibrous hay. I have been researching pellets as well. Does Eden Farms pellets contain molasses as a binder? I am trying to find a cheaper alternative that does not have molasses, or sodium lignosulphonate as a binder. Molasses makes them fat and rots their...
