    Homemade bunny toys from basket weaving supplies

    I've been feeling a bit "crafty" lately and am thinking about making some bunny toys out of wicker-like/basket weaving materials. Our bunnies favorite toy by far is a ball made of wound up willow twigs. We stuff treats inside them, and the bunnies love rolling and tossing them. Unfortunately...

    Cecotrope smearing..everywhere

    Yah! I'm glad someone else found this thread useful! It's been a few months, and quite a roller coster, but I do think we have figured out how to greatly minimize Coco's issue. The short story is that minimal veggies/fruit did the trick. Unfortunately, shortly after my post, we found out our...

    Thinking about taking bunnies on walks-should we deworm?

    Thanks for the info. I remember our vet saying that she has experience some rabbits have a reaction to the deworming medication and that there would be a small risk involved if we chose to do so. We hadn't done it because I usually try to avoid any unnecessary risks, but I hadn't though about...

    Thinking about taking bunnies on walks-should we deworm?

    We have 2 house bunnies that are exclusively indoors. My husband has always wanted to get some harnesses and take our bunnies out for walks. Now that we have a new baby, we do go walking almost every day, and it would be nice to have an activity that kills 2 birds with one stone (entertainment...

    A quick litter box question :)

    In my experience, yes and no. We have 2 house rabbits with free reign of the house right now. They are about 2.5 years old and both are spayed/neutered. Their normal litter box habits are pretty good. All urine is always in the litter box. All piles of fecal pellets are always in the litter...

    Skidd bunny is making me frustrated!

    Our female, Coco, did the exact same thing when she became "of age." She was so well behaved and litter box trained. Then all of a sudden she was chewing on everything and peeing on all the furniture that we spent the most time on (couch, bed, etc). Rufus, our male, peed/sprayed on walls, and of...

    Cecotrope smearing..everywhere

    TAKE AWAY MY BANANAS! HOW DARE YOU...oops, sorry, I don't know how Coco got a hold of the keyboard so quickly. She is an excellent typist! *sigh* Yeah, I've thought about the bananas for a while. We kinda have a nightly ritual around them. Every night before bedtime we bring up 2 one inch...

    Cecotrope smearing..everywhere

    I'll definitely look into the pro-biotics. Anyone like any particular brand? We'll have to fence off an area to keep Coco separated from Rufus for feedings. When we tried separate dishes, she just eats from where ever Rufus goes. If he switches dishes, so does she. She constantly steals...

    Cecotrope smearing..everywhere

    Thanks again for the help :) My feeding amounts were worded a little funny above, but we do not give out 1/2 c. 4 times a day. We divide 1/2 c. by 4 for 4 separate feedings; so we feed 1/8 c. at each of the 4 feedings. That's the amount that is recommended for 10 lbs of rabbit, and we have...

    Cecotrope smearing..everywhere

    Yeah, we've been decreasing both the veges and the pellets over the past few months, but haven't seen any change. Since Rufus is not at all over weight, I am worried about reducing them any more. We are already underfeeding using their weight as a guide for the pellets. (1/4 c./5 lb) How...

    Greetings! Introducing Coco and Rufus

    Hello! I am a new member living in the Lehigh Valley of PA. I was doing some online research for ideas on how to fix an ongoing cecotrope issue and stumbled across this website. Before I post about that, I thought an introduction would be great :) My husband and I have been happy rabbit...
