    Help with allergies

    other than having her take allergy meds, theres not much you can do. animals are messy and anything with fur or feathers will make a mess (believe me!). there could be several things causing the allergy- fur, dander, hay, bedding... and with other animals it could be saliva. you could maybe have...

    how tall is your x-pen?

    i was going to get an x-pen so Bean could hang out in my room when the cooler weather comes. i saw some cheap ones at Ocean State Job Lot (bargain store!), but i think they only had ones that were 18" tall and 48" tall. i think the ideal height would be about 30", but i don't think they have...

    New bunny owner: Brushing?

    i didn't read though all the replies but... i have tried many things with my mini lop. she has a really thick coat from originally being an outdoor bun. she has a "skirt" of loose skin above her tail that really is hard to brush out and gets really "packy" when the fur can't shed out. i used to...

    should i spay ?

    this sounds like your 'vet' didn't do it right, or wasn't sure of what she was doing :/ i work in a animal shelter and we get adult rabbits spayed/neutered when they come in and they have all been successful. there is also a local rabbit rescue in the area and all of their rabbits are...

    Rabbit Room

    my rabbit has her own room down in the cellar. i bought foam tiles to cover most of the linoleum floor. they aren't hot like carpeting, but they give her traction, unlike wood or linoleum. i used c&c grids to block her out of area too..

    Toys for bunnies!

    i make these chew and toss toys for buns at the shelter. they are really cheap to make and they seem to like them. i love getting my rabbit the big cat toy balls from the dollar store. they are a large plastic ball with a smaller ball inside with a bell. they are big and easy to toss. cardboard...

    Indoor housing ideas?

    you can get the c&c grids on eBay (or craigslist, i have gotten them from both). heres my ideas. i am assuming you have a litter box/food area for your buns when they are free range? what if at night, you took that area and put and x-pen or grids and "caged" that area off, then when you let them...

    Bonding with rabbit help

    if your room is rabbit proof, then i would take him out and put him on the floor to run. leave his cage open so he has somewhere to go. provide some cardboard box houses, or drape a blanket over a chair seat to provide cover. pet him on the floor, maybe feed him some pellets. once he is...

    should i spay ?

    YES!!! get them spayed :) it really does help with the litter box. when my rabbit became mature, she was peeing everywhere. i got her spayed and it stopped. this was when she was just old enough to be spayed, and now she just turned 4 years old in july! her recovery was fast and she didn't hate...

    Urgent help- cage chewing

    i would not stain it!! you don't want them chewing at that. i had a problem with my rabbit chewing the wood legs on her hutch (it is inside in her room) and i covered the legs in fabric and she hasn't touched them :) if it is in a corner, you can always get some poplar fleece and use a staple...

    Anyone else have a rabbit afraid of odd things?

    my rabbit is not afraid of cooking, but she HATES the sound of flatware against bowls- like if you were having ice cream and were scraping the last bit. she will run off and stomp. other than that she is fine with anything... the vacuum, the air torque wrench, and other loud noises :)

    how much does your mini lop weigh?

    cute cute!! i am guilty of buying from a breeder (i should have rescued because rescuing means the world to me!! :( i really wish i could proudly say she was a rescue) and i think i could have bought the pedigree if i wanted to, but i don't remember. i do know that both her parents are mini...

    how much does your mini lop weigh?

    my mini lop is 7.8 pounds, but she isn't "fat". when she is hopping abound, you can see that she is quite trim. i am trying to see if she is just big, of if she is average. she gets roughly 1/3 pellets a day and unlimited 2nd cutting hay and some fresh greens on the side

    DIY mat

    i saw this on Pinterest and decided to make it! for this, you will need a whole roll of the dollar tree paper. first you will cut the paper every 6 inches. don't try and flatten it! once cut, it will try and fold up again. just squish the paper as shown, but to the whole thing...

    no interest in eating pellets all of a sudden?

    Ok thanks for the info :) I fed her her nighttime pellets and she ate them right up. It seems like she just had something in her that needed to pass

    Bonding On Carpet

    are they litter trained? before my spayed rabbit was litter trained, she would occasionally pee on my floor. it is natural for animals to pee on absorbent surfaces. if they are not litter box trained, try it. start with putting the box in their pee corner with some hay to eat. once they use it...
