I've been thinking the same to just wait and see, and that if she continues to do well on her own, then leave her as is. I guess I got a little stressed recently about her mental health. I work at a zoo, and one of my coworkers kind of shamed me when I mentioned not possibly getting another...

So...I need some unbiased advice. Two weeks ago, I lost one of my rabbits, Squirtle. He was 4 years old and contracted E. cuniculi. He was at the vet for almost a week. The first day he was barely hanging on, then for two days he wasn't improving physically but he was eating well being...

So, several weeks ago I took home a baby rabbit dumped at the sanctuary I worked at, only for her to suddenly die after a week. Having her made me realize I utterly miss having a rabbit, so I decided after her death that I would look for a planned rabbit this time. I got into contact with a few...

Thanks Troller : ) I'll check out that website and see who I can find, maybe send some emails and feel out some breeders. And also thank you blue eyes! I knew about Brambley Hedge, that was the rescue I was keeping an eye on, but I didn't know about Tranquility. I'll look into them as well.

So, I'm thinking I want to get another rabbit in the future, a actually planned rabbit. I ended up taking home a baby lop that was left at the sanctuary I work at, some show breeder dumped her and some others, but sadly she passed away a few days ago. Having her though made me realize how much I...

She was brought into my work by some supposed show breeder who didn't want the babies because she said they weren't show quality. She gave us zero information other then the babies were lops, that's it. It was a guess that she was around 6 weeks old, because she was so small. One of my guesses...

I am so unbelievable heartbroken right now. My little Mew, just six weeks old, suddenly died and I just don't understand. Yesterday she was hopping around, eating like a pig and grooming me every chance she got, today before I went to work I noticed she was acting a bit larthgetic, but for the...

From what the keeper was telling me, she does this about every spring/summer. She breeds her rabbits then all the one's she doesn't want, she drops off at the sanctuary. Sometimes they can keep them and find homes for them, but unfortunately sometimes, like this time, they have so many baby...

I know! I was very upset that she would just dump the rabbits she deemed unworthy on the sanctuary. I think if someone is going to breed like that, then they need to take responsibility of ALL babies, even one's that aren't "perfect". I wish I could have taken the others, but I have a very small...

Thank you so much : ) For the past hour he's been just munching on grass, pellets and drinking lots of water then he'll clean and bounce around a bit before eating more, so I think he's feeling better. I'll buy him alfafa based pellets tomorrow and start giving those to him along with his...

The woman dropped them off just this morning. I believe the pellets are Oxbow, but for adult rabbits so I would assume it doesn't have alfafa based. I can pick some up tomorrow for him though.

Alright, sounds good. Thanks guys! I figured when I saw him that he was just so, so young and I feel for the others. That's why I posted this right away, because I knew he was so tiny that he had to have some special requirements unlike when I first got my rabbit. When would be a good time to...

The woman left nothing with them, she dropped them off at the gift shop and didn't even wait for the keeper to come get them. The sanctuary has two adult rabbits on display, so the keeper gave me a bag of their pellets for him. Is that alright or are there speciality pellets for babies? I have...

I have no clue. All the woman did was drop them off and say they were flops and she didn't want them because they weren't show quality, that's it. He's knows how to use the water bottle know and he's nibbling on hay. I'll remove the fruits and veggies if he shouldn't be having them. Should I get...

So a little backstory here. I owned a dwarf rabbit for ten years, Suki, who passed away about two years ago from cancer. I currently now volunteer at a sanctuary and today these four baby rabbits came in. One of the keepers told me that this woman breeds show rabbits, and any of the babies that...

Thanks for the replies. The vet called me back today and it is malignant, it's a soft tissue sarcoma. He didn't want to sway my decision either way but he did seem to agree with the choice to not operate on her. Were just going to keep an eye on her over the next few months and once we see a...

So I have had my dwarf rabbit, Suki, for ten years. I noticed a lump on her upper stomach area a few days ago and made a vet appointment, and found out today it is a tumor. The vet is going to test it to see if it is malignant or benign, and I am praying all over the place that it is...
