Hey guys, I'm just after some advice for a friend. :) They took in two rabbits from a friend and were told they were both boys. Upon coming home one day they found a litter of kits Dec 2nd and promptly separated dad from mum and babies. Roughly 29 days on, mum is building another nest and they...

As many of you know I lost Bandit in January this year. After waiting some months to be "ready" to adopt again, I then had to wait longer for financial reasons, followed by the unexpected addition of a stray/rescue parrot. She (the parrot, Dory) was housed temporarily in a cage made from x-pen...

How do I write about the loss of my best friend? I don't even know where to begin because it hasn't even processed yet, it still feels like he's coming back, that at any minute I'll hear him munching on hay or see him flop down next to me. My little guy is gone forever :( For those who missed...

I'm feeling like the worst owner ever right now. I picked Bandit up so that I could take him outside for his grooming and he didn't want to be picked up today and struggled a lot. I'm guessing that I squeezed him too tight when I was trying to stop him from jumping out of my arms. He was a...

Hey guys, I just wanted to share some info relating to rabbit health that I've been reading up on. I remember in the middle of this year hearing about a new "version" of calicivirus in the eastern states. After a bit more reading over the past couple of days I've learned both some interesting...

Hello there. I just got a new bale of meadow hay for Bandit two days ago. I buy it from the same fodder store, but obviously they're going to have different suppliers. This bale is much greener than any other I've had because I got it the day it was delivered, so I'm therefore assuming it was...

I think it's great news that habitat restoration and captive-bred releases are working so well to bring this species back from the brink. Check out the article: http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/newsroom/news.html?news=186

I'm wondering what people think of these poops that Bandit has been doing. I know they're definitely unusual, but I can't for the life of me figure out why it may be happening. He's shedding at the moment, a lot, but I'm also brushing him a lot. Usually if he's having a poop issue with his...

Hey guys, I'm just after some opinions on these willow products. They're from a florist supply shop, some of their willow products are obviously died and others mention they have a lacquer finish. But then there's others that say they're just natural willow, however they look the same as some...

Hi all, I know it seems like a weird question to ask, because why would I want to feed Bandit a slice of lemon, and secondly, why on earth would he even want to eat it :P I'm asking because I'm looking into possibly doing some homemade banana chips in the oven. All of the recipes I've seen call...

Hey, I'm just looking for a bit of insight here. I got up this morning at 9am to find Bandit belly pressing and refusing all food. At 11 we saw the vet and got pain meds, sub-cut fluids and a gut motility med. X-ray showed food in the earlier part of the digestive system. We've been home from...

I've been a little unsure of this for a while, so I figured I may as well ask. Almost every day, maybe once or twice a day, Bandit does loud tooth grinding. By loud, I mean that he's in one corner of the room, and I'm in the other 5 + meters away and I can hear him.Everything I've read keeps...

I found this interesting. They've identified a new, more infectious strain of RVHD from South Korea. They've applyied to be able to do a release here in 2016 of the new strain, but are just waiting approval. The good news is that the current vaccine works for the new strain as well, but if your...

There's an old thread on this topic from 2012, but I figured a new one might be more appropriate given that I think the product changed hands at some point. I'm having trouble buying the comb, both Binky Bunny and rabbit.org shops sell the comb, but neither ship to Australia. Has anyone...

Hello all, just a heads up that there'll likely be a release of this virus in the Sydney suburbs soon due to increasing rabbit numbers. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date, Calici is unforgiving and has mortality rate of around 90%...

Hey everyone, I'm hoping you can help me out. I have some weeds in my lawn that I'm trying to ID, and I definitely have a Medicago species, possibly Medicago arabica (spotted medic) and if not, it's very similar. It's in the same genus as alfalfa, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean that...

I just came across this article, and while it's obvious the minister of agriculture certainly wouldn't be changing his mind, it doesn't look hopeful at all...

I had wondered whether this might be an issue, but it's worse than I thought. Today for the first time I turned on one of the ceiling fans in the lounge room. As it turns out, Bandit is absolutely terrified of it, which is fair enough. I did expect him to be scared, but not this much. Has anyone...

Hey guys, I know there's a couple of threads on this already, but it will ease my mind if I just run through my vague plans for getting Bandit shifted and whether you can make any recommendations of things I haven't thought of etc. I'm only moving 10-15 minutes away, so travel isn't the issue...

The title is pretty self-explanatory. He found a piece of tape on his cardboard box that I didn't realise was there. I heard it crinkling as he chewed it, but when I went to take it away, he growled at me. Because he's never growled at me before, it surprised me and I pulled back. So then I...
