This isn't bunny related, but I do a live hatch cam for those who want to watch chicks hatch! Right now I have two that have pipped (made their air hole in the shell) and are peeping away so they could hatch any moment. There are 8 due today/tomorrow and 5 due in 2 days . Feel free to stop by...

I go home to my parents' house every weekend and packing/unpacking the rabbits to go and come back is getting very tiresome. I was wondering if leaving them at my apartment would be feasible? Two of them share a cage, but I think I'd divide the cage in half so that they each get their own...

I have two buns, Theodore (a 2.5 year old Holland lop) and Ariadne (a lionhead/rex mix) who are bonded and living together. I built them a NIC cage back in June and have been tweaking it ever since! I thought I'd share my experience because I think the whole experience has been hilarious. I...

Theodore was treated for ear mites about a month ago and they're showing up again but on his other ear (I think...I can't remember which ear was affected last time). He received one shot of ivermectin without plans to receive another. His ear is starting to show slight flakiness and is warm...

I have a 2 year old who is bonded to a 10 week old (she grew up around him) and feed them separately. Fortunately the adult doesn't like to jump up, so the baby eats on top of a box in the cage. I'm currently feeding 1/3 cup of alfalfa pellets twice a day to the baby and 1 Tbsp Oxbow pellets...

Ariadne really doesn't like her hay. She's 7 weeks today, gets about 1/3 a cup of alfalfa pellets a day (enough to last her until about 7pm) and then has her hay to munch when it's gone. The problem is, she really hates it. So much so that she turns to eating her willow items before she'll...

Now that I've adopted Ariadne, she will be eventually bonded with Theodore. She has been around him since she was two weeks old, and he loves her already. She won't be spayed until she's old enough, but is it okay to start bonding now and house them together? She's 6 weeks old now, and I figured...

So I'm starting to get frustrated with Theodore. He flawlessly pees in his litterbox while in his cage, but when I try and leave him out to exercise and have playtime he ALWAYS pees on the floor when I'm not looking (or looking...). He doesn't get the whole "Need to pee, return to cage" concept...

My fosters are 6 weeks old now and they are on an alfalfa pellet and a timothy/orchard hay diet. They are producing a lot of cecals lately...is that okay for young rabbits? They are supposed to be on an unlimited alfalfa pellet diet so is this just because the pellets are so rich?

Well, the three troublemakers I'm fostering are now 5 weeks old and eating hay/pellets very well. I'd be tempted to say exclusively but I'm not sure. When should I take out the mother? I was planning on waiting another week just to be sure but I wanted to know what common practice is...

Today I took the biddies out to run in the rabbit room and it appears that Curly is sneezing every so often and had some yellow goop in the fur around his eyes. What could this be and does it require medical attention? I also noticed that he eats weird. Instead of taking the pellets in his...

So, as I suspected, foster mama rabbit is pregnant and about to have her 4th consecutive litter that I know of. She'd been digging in the corner of the cage this past week, but last night she did a full-blown nest building session. The current babies are nearly a month old, so I guess it can be...

I finally decided to start a blog for my little bunny "Curly" (which is a temporary name for a couple more weeks). I'll be calling Curly a "he" for now...but because, haha. I first acquired Curly from the Humane Society of Utah when I got a desperate plea that they had received a mother...

So I don't know how many of you have been following my little oddball foster, but I got the call from the HS that I can adopt him! It's kind of a big deal because their policy is that they need to be spayed/neutered and I'll be moving out of state before he/she will be old enough. So I was...

I have one kit that still hasn't opened its eyes and they are approximately 16 days old now. The eyes do not look crusty, but they lids look developed and they aren't open yet. It's siblings' eyes opened at 13 and 14 days. When should I be worried? Is there anything I can do?

One of my foster rabbit's babies has a different coat type than the mother and the other kits. It's coming in wavy and he has curly whiskers. What type of fur is he gonna have? He's also the only blue tort out of the bunch.

I have a mother lionhead rabbit and her 6 kits, 2 are just about weaned. They have unlimited alfalfa/timothy hay and a mixture of timothy and alfalfa pellets. What quantity of pellets should I put in their bowl for the day? Right now they are free-feeding but they're starting to produce too many...

I have not seen Theodore eat any of his hay since I've had him. He has a rack full of timothy and orchard grass hay and he doesn't even seem interested in it at all. He'll much alflafa, but he's an adult neutered boy and it's high in protein... What do I do? I feed him about 1/8 cup of...

Theo has a urine stain on his head from when he sprayed in his breeder cage and rubbed his nose on it. What's the best way to get rid of it?

I recently adopted a 1.5 year old holland lop buck from a breeder who was kept in breeder cages his whole life. He's been turned into a house rabbit and doesn't quite know what to do with himself. He's now in a 4'x4' solid bottom cage with a second level rather than a 24"x24" wire bottom cage...
