Hey RO, I've got an odd situation. My rabbit Cassie is eating fine, drinking fine, very active, and looks alert and playful. She's actually constantly attempting to dart out of her cage to run around my room. The problem is, though, her bottom today has been wet. I'm not talking "slipped and...

Hey all! So something like a year ago I posted about my rabbit Cassie being disinterested in leaving her cage. It was very slow going but after several months she began coming out when it was quiet and no one was around, though only to scope out the 3 foot radius by her cage door before...

Hey all! I have not so much a problem, but more a question. I put it in this group because it's about her behavior rather than the cage itself. My bun Cassie is in a two level wooden hutch, but won't use the upper level. Like, at all. She might stand at the bottom of the ramp, paws on it...

Just for a poll's sake, I wondered how often everyone else cleans out their boxes. I try to aim for every 2-3 days but sometimes I wonder if that's not frequent enough! What about y'all? :) (an update from a previous thread of mine: i've convinced cassie to pee in her box and poop in it half...

I've posted about it once before, but I'm going to post again because there was no conclusion and it keeps getting bumped back. Cassie will not be litter box trained. I've tried anything and everything I can think of with her. Her pee looks normal ranging from kind of a melted butter...

Hey RO! My question is, my bun Cas has pretty much always been (rather happily) on her own. She was a breeding doe in a barn before I got her and since has been in a one-bun home. She's healthy, happy, stable, and tends to do fine being on her own. She's spayed (back in August) and bonded to...

....but now, no more! I'm not sure what gives! My bun used to be litter box trained. Maybe she still missed and would pee off the edge now and again (it has a low lip, it made sense), but now she absolutely refuses to do anything in the litter box! Her poop is scattered all around the floor...

Hey all! So my Cassie has a weird habit. It's not new or anything, but it's one I've not found the root of. She likes to sit in her cage and either shove her head under the mouth of her plastic igloo or stand underneath it and lift her head to lift it up, then slide it back and forth and drag...

Cassandra, or usually just "Cassie", is my broken orange Holland Lop. She's a shy little lap warmer, very generous with her licks, and tends to prefer being in her cage to outside of it. She was an ex-breeding doe from Whispering Hope Farms in Gastonia, NC, but is now spayed and just a regular...

Mine is called the "lap trap"! I crawl into her lap and lay there for hours while she pets me (sometimes I have to encourage her to keep it up, she's such a good sport) making her late for work, class, or even miss a meal! It's funny because she can't say no to me. ;)

Hey all, So my bun Cassie was throwing a bit of a tantrum last night and this morning/afternoon. She was dragging/throwing her water bowl around and kicking the contents of her litter box out. Both aren't necessarily new behaviors, but I figured they were an expression of irritation with me...

Hey all! Posting again for the first time in a while. It's a long one, so forgive me. :) My bun Cassie and I had a huge setback about 3 months ago when I got into a tussle with my rental company about having her at the apartment. I've since moved to a new place where it won't be an issue and...

Hey RO, I've posted a couple times usually asking for relatively simple advice on behavior and stuff. This time is a little less... happy. I'm a young adult often thrown into temporary housing situations. As it stands, I'm having a slight conflict with my landlord over my rabbit. She's spent...

Hey guys! So, I have a question! When I got Cassie from the breeder (she was a breeding doe, not a baby) she was a bit pudgy. They had her on oat pellets, so I don't suppose that and trying to keep weight on her for the sake of breeding makes it surprising at all! Since I got her, I've...

Hello, we meet again! So Cassie is shedding like crazy the last week and I've done my best to get in there and pluck gobs of hair from her so she doesn't ingest so much of it. I've kept a lot of water in her bowl and her hay rack full to try and keep things moist and moving along. I've also...

Hey guys, back again! I promised I'd have a ton of questions. ;) Today while doing our typical grooming/petting ritual, Cassie stopped me mid-hair plucking (she's shedding like crazy and I'm trying to get as much hair off her as I can to keep her from ingesting it) to lick my arm, rub her...

Hey guys, I have a couple of questions! My bun Cassie is incredibly shy and doesn't come out of her cage often or for very long. She's bonded pretty well to me, buy she appears to only want to hop out of the cage if I'm on the opposite side of the room or in another room entirely and forgot...

Hello forum-goers! I've finally caved and joined a forum because no matter what I did or where I looked, I could never really find the answer to what I was looking for. Rabbits refusing to come out of cages isn't anything new, but the answers I always found involved unbonded baby rabbits with...

Hello everyone! My name is Indi. I'm a 20-something university student in the southeast USA. For a quiet companion to keep in my small apartment living area, I chose a rabbit. When I went to go choose my rabbit back in mid-July of this year, I found Gastonia, NC rabbitry Whispering Hope Farms...
