Thank you guys! Butternut hasn't had any runny poo or gas issues, so she seems to be doing okay! I may try doing two meals but she doesn't seem to be having any problems with one meal. She is just SOOOOO excited to get her veggies I just wanted to make sure that was safe! I have noticed that...

I give my bunny a salad every day, and I feed it to her in the evenings. She weighs about 3 lbs, and gets about a cup and a half (packed) of vegetables every day, consisting mostly of leafy greens. She has access to timothy hay at all times, and she also gets a small amount of pellet rabbit food...

Thanks for the info, good to know! I'm curious, does anyone know if a rabbit rescue will specifically adopt out a healthy rabbit with a history of snuffles? Whenever I get a second bunny it would kind of be a shame to bring a rabbit into my home that has never had snuffles before and get them...

I believe that Butternut had(has?) Snuffles. She was sneezing and had thick white discharge from her nose, so we took her to the vet and he prescribed her antibiotics. After she finished with the antibiotics, she hasn't had any nasal discharge and seems to be healthy again. However, from...

Hmm, maybe I'm the odd one out because I just keep Butternut's hay in a big shallow bowl. She spreads it around a little but she's such a little piggy that even if it falls into her litter box she'll still eat it! So I guess I don't understand the concept of hay being wasted. It's not like it...

Most of Butternut's cage is covered in those cheap stick on tiles that you get from Home Depot, but her litter tray is filled with a product called Equine Fresh, it's basically pine pellets for horse stalls that absorb urine and odor really well. I tried to put a towel/rug on the floor of her...

Basil is a 4 year old Papillon mix from a rescue, and he and Butternut, who gets free range most of the day, get along very well. Basil doesn't really care about her and will get up and leave if she hops over to him, lol. Butternut is pretty curious about him but she's decided that he's pretty...

Do you think they might be chives? If so I do not think they're safe for rabbits to eat.

Butternut is 7 and 1/2 months old and 2.6 lbs. So far I've been feeding her about an eighth cup of pellets and unlimited Timothy hay daily, as well as a small amount of vegetables as a treat. I've been reading up on non pellet diets for rabbits because I feed both my parrot and my dog fresh...

Butternut has been here about a week and a half and they both get along really well! Butternut isn't at all afraid of Basil. I'm really glad! At first Basil was very interested in Butternut but how he's ignoring her! Unfortunately she still really wants attention from him, lol! Thanks everybody...

The dead bunny flop is so adorable! I love all the pictures. Butternut looks quite comfortable, doesn't she?

Thanks everybody! She's been a real joy so far :biggrin2: Not a chef, just really like food, lol! Come to think of it, most of my pets' names have been food related! I have a parrot, too whose name is Skittles, hehehe.

Meet Ms. Butternut Squash! I just got her yesterday! She's a 5 month old Mini Rex. She's settling in quite well and she has just the sweetest personality. She's so energetic and playful and isn't frightened or shy about anything. She is even extremely curious about my dog, Basil, who is just as...

Oh yeah, I definitely intend on trying to get her to use the litter box at my mom's house! It's just that if she decides to hold it I want to be sure that she's not making herself sick or something. I actually wasn't aware that rabbits will hold it for that long! I used to have rats and mice...

Thank you guys for the advice! When I go visit my mom it's usually only for the morning or the afternoon, or sometimes just to have lunch and visit. Hopefully my future rabbit will be as well potty trained as you guys' rabbits! By the way I like the xpen idea for longer stays at my mom's...

Well, this question isn't really about rabbits but it's related. :biggrin: I have an indoor container garden, and I was thinking that whenever I get my rabbit, I could use the poo in my garden. But would I have to pick out each individual poop out of the litter, or could I put some poop mixed...

Is it possible to litter train a rabbit in more than one house? For instance, I visit my mom frequently, and she would really like it if I would bring my future rabbit over to visit, but she's not crazy about the idea of rabbit urine in her carpet. Is there any way that I can make it so that my...

Thanks for the reply! Using cardboard as a visual barrier is a great suggestion. So what does it take to get a rabbit used to being around a dog? Is it just a matter of spending enough time around dogs until they aren't bothered by them anymore? Is there a chance that if a rabbit is not quite...

I don't have a rabbit right now, but I do have a dog, Basil, who has separation anxiety, and gets very panicked and upset when he's left home alone. He has free range of the living room/dining room area when he's home alone, because he can't be crated or put into a small room like the bathroom...

Thank you guys for the warm welcome!
