Just wanted to update this. After we had our male fixed we waited 12 weeks and then moved them to a single, larger cage. There has never been a moment of issue. They all get along incredibly well. Looking in you often see a pile of rabbits because they all lay together. Our male is so much...

I have a pair of (unaltered) bonded females. They have been together since birth. I was told to expect that when they hit puberty we would have to separate them until they were altered and then it would be iffy as to whether they could be reunited as a pair. We kept waiting for the honeymoon...

I realize this is no longer relevant to you as Willa is now known to be William, but I wanted to say that I have two unaltered bonded females. Mine, however, are litter mates. They have been together since birth and bonded long before we started homing the kits. They are roughly 3 years old...

I see lots of animal lovers!! :) We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 rabbits, a dwarf hamster and fish. My children want either a ferret or a bird next.

We have a big bunny (not sure of the breed) who had quite large litters. Her first litter consisted of 10 and they were all stillborn. The next two litters were 8 each and all survived until 5 weeks when one had an accident and broke its back and another died of what we believe was a lung...

I hope everything went well! We have our buck scheduled to be desexed on Friday. I don't think I'm as worried about him as I was about one of our does when she had to have surgery. She had a leg amputated (huge abscess and an infection that ate into the muscle in her leg) and I was worried...

Sorry to hear that! I know what it is like to have to keep pets away from one another. I am thankful ours get along so well. I think my dogs just consider the rabbits to be long-eared cats. ;)

We put grates over our litter pans using those plastic egg crate panels that are made for fluorescent lighting. Home Depot and other hardware stores sell them. We cut it to fit the box, put it up on legs (made from the same thing, zipped together with zip ties) and them put it in the litter...

We had our dogs before we got bunnies. One was a puppy, the other about 5-6 years old. Both took well to the rabbits right away. We didn't have a proper cage at first as we were rescuing a bunny. We had the bunny in a hallway with a baby gate across it. The dogs did a meet and greet with...

Thanks for the link to that! I will check it out. I have heard that there are sometimes negative results to having them fixed. I know it can be true for dogs/cats as well so I am just hoping for the best. I think our litter box may be an issue. I was just discussing this with my...

I did mention in my original post that the male is set to be neutered on Friday. Honestly, it was never a matter of being unwilling, it was the fact that our vet refuses to do it before they are a year old and last summer he was not yet a year old. I work for a school district and the school...

I could use some advice. We have 3 rabbits. I'm not up on all of the breeds, but these are large rabbits. They easily outweigh our fat house cats and are there isn't a lot of difference between them and our Westie in size (our Westie is smaller than most Westies, but not unusually so). Our...

I keep thinking that I would love to do something like this one (open at the top, easy to step in and out of) for ease of cleaning. Our 3 legged bunny is a jumper though.

Some pet stores are awful. My mom was sold a 3 week old bunny and told to give it lettuce and carrots and pellets. We already had rabbits and I was livid that they gave her such information. I filled her in on the basics and the bunny did okay but it still makes me mad. They sold her guinea...

Bun 1 - Our friends bought their daughter a white baby bunny for Easter. A few months later they were starting to get tired of that baby as it had grown up and turned into a real rabbit (imagine that!!). We 'bunny-sat' while they went on vacation and my kids fell in love with this bun. A...

Well... lots of people, including my husband and the vet thought I was going above and beyond by having Hunny's leg amputated. Their suggestion was to put her to sleep. I love her and wanted to save her if possible. Before the amputation, for 7 months while we dealt with one abscess after...

I picked up some egg crate today. :) We had to go out of town to get it but the large piece should be big enough for litter boxes for both of the cages. :) Our boy doesn't dig in his litter but we might try it for him anyway.

Bunny-sitting is how we got our first girl. :) Our friends asked us to watch her while they went on vacation and our kids fell in love with her. They decided to get rid of her a few weeks later and we jumped at the chance to take her.

I just found it on the Lowe's and Home Depot website under Plaskolite - in case anyone else is having trouble searching too. :) Thanks so much for sharing these plans. I had something similar in mind (without the hay rack though that is a great idea too!) but hadn't fleshed it out yet.

I remember seeing the egg crate stuff years ago at our local Ace Hardware. Today I looked and they no longer carry it. Now I am trying to figure out where to get it. Home Depot or Lowes is an hour drive each way so I don't want to waste time and gas if they don't have it. Hmm...
