the paper pellets work great. I think you will be happy going that route.

I am really sorry to hear about Thumperina. I will say plenty of prayers for her that she makes it through. I really hope the medicine works and that she gets better soon

This idea may or may not work for you, but it worked for my rabbit. To get her to urinate in the litter box more, I would give her a treat like a piece of parsley or peppermint or basil each time that she did go successfully in her litter box (while she was still in the litterbox), and I would...

What a beautiful Mini Lop. I love that breed. My Mr. Bunny was a sweetheart Mini Lop. What I like the most about the Mini Lop is that it is a sweet, cuddly, energetic, and curious breed. You get the best of all worlds! There are some breeds like the English Spot that are curious and energetic...

That looks like amazing hay. I bet Trixie would LOVE that. She seems to like softer hays that are very aromatic. Her nose goes a hundred miles an hour when she likes her food

Hi Riddick, you will LOVE your English Spot. I have never owned one, but I spent quite a bit of time around one in the past few years. One thing I think you will notice about the breed is that they are incredibly intelligent! They are amusing to watch. Very athletic. I would imagine your rabbit...

Is that hay usually softer? I noticed that she tends to prefer the softer texture hay over some types that are much crunchier

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I'll bet that Harvey was a sweet rabbit that provided you with immense joy when he was around. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Pellets are mostly made from hay already with a few extra nutrients. I wish you luck getting your rabbit to eat the pellets. In my case, my rabbits didn't like them. I tried different brands. Nothing worked. It wasn't from lack of trying on my end for them. Luckily, they were all hay eaters. I...

Thanks Missy for the advice. Maybe she would like the hay from the feed store. could be worth trying

I just give her a few small pinches of pellets a day.

As long as she eats her hay, that is the important thing. None of my rabbits ever liked pellets, but they ate hay and lived long a long time.

When I had a Mini Lop about seven years ago, he LOVED parsley and cilantro. He would shove about six or seven pieces of parsley in his mouth at a time.

Do yours eat orchard grass or meadow hay or oat hay or Bermuda grass or any of those other varieties from the pet stores? I am thinking that maybe Trixie would prefer the flavor of other types of hay. No clue with her.

when you figure that one out, let me know. LOL. Mine doesn't quit

My Trixie does it all the time. She kicks her back feet straight out and then lets me pet her ears. A few seconds later her eyes start to close, and I hear the tooth grinding. She seems extremely content because her nose twitching starts to become very minimal at that point also. Today she...

I would probably make sure your rabbit has more hay than pellets. Hay helps to file down those front teeth more and prevent dental problems. I wish my little Trixie would eat more hay. None of my other rabbits would shy away from hay

How do I find out where fresh hay is sold? Are there web sites where farms are listed?

That sounds like a wonderful idea, AND it seems so much less expensive to buy a bale instead of going to a pet store and payH for a little bag. How do you keep the hay fresh the whole time though? Do you put it inside a garbage bag and tie it?

This may sound like a dumb question, but how much does a small bale of hay typically cost, and how much hay per ounce or pound comes with it? I just don't want to buy so much that it goes bad before she eats it all. I read online that the really fresh hay has those little fuzzy things on the end...
