Also I'm not sure where in India you're located, but is the bunny indoors or outdoors? They can get overheated very easily (anything above 80 degrees F can be dangerous), so if you're in a hot climate it's best to keep them inside if possible or, if it's not doable, take other precautions to...

Congrats on the bunny! The good news is rabbits don't actually need pellets. How old is your bunny? That would affect feeding a bit. But for an adult rabbit, this would be the ideal diet: -Unlimited hay (this should be available 24/7, especially if they don't have pellets)! Super important...

Hi all — We just moved to a new city and relocated with our rabbits last night (something I've been dreading for this very reason). While one of them is a foster-to-adopt who's perpetually chill, our girl has a lot of anxiety and is easily stressed. She's 5yo and spayed (and a rex, which I've...

Thanks all. She still wouldn't eat last night but I offered her the TINIEST piece of her favorite human food (corn chips — of course she never ever is given these but she usually tries her best to steal them and I was desperate to make sure she was eating) and she reluctantly accepted, so I felt...

I just got back from traveling for nearly a week. Live with parents so there was no change in care/location/diet when I was away. When I got back bun was really aloof with me. I found her flopped in one of her favorite spots and went to pet her and I noticed she appeared extremely thin. She's...

My rabbit was totally normal all day. An hour or so ago, my bf noticed she was sitting in her house and breathing more quickly than usual (not labored, just fast breathing that made her little ears shake). Thought we were making stuff up but when I offered her some food, she refused. She even...

I just left the vet's office and they needed a fecal sample. She wouldn't go so we had to wait and they put her on the floor of the office to run around! I said that didn't seem smart since it's probably filthy but they said it was fine and they wanted to keep her mobile. I let it go at the time...

Wait are they outdoors?

Sorry - that's a bunny for you :) No way you can stop them from redecorating. Just trust they're smart and not going to make themselves cold by doing it. How big is your cage and are they locked in or do they get the rest of the house as well? If he's thumping it sounds like he's a bit bored...

Unfortunately any rabbit kept outside is going to be bothered by other animals. Squirrels are little beasts and they'll eat through just about anything to get inside. I'd strongly suggest you bring your rabbits inside. Outdoor rabbits have half the average lifespan of indoor rabbits and if...

Yeah - don't pick her up. I know it's impossible but they really hate it. The digging/nipping is a way of saying put me down - or just back off, if she's feeling trapped and can't run away. Or a very aggressive "go away now please." Mine does it if I'm holding her for nails or grooming. If you...

If she bites don't pull back. Try putting your hand over her eyes and saying "NO" and pressing her head gently but firmly down do the floor. Hold it a few seconds and let it go. If she's really bad you can "harrumph" and go sit with your back to her a few feet away. Look at her pointedly then...

Also, I'm pretty sure rabbits can have days where they're just a bit more sniffly without getting sick - allergies or humidity or such.

It's okay for bunnies' noses to be a little bit wet, especially around the "v" part (just like any animal's nose). A rabbit with an actual runny nose will usually have noticeable wetness down towards their lips and on the surrounding fur. For example, if this is a bunny's nose/mouth, turned...

It's called a dewlap (google image "rabbit dewlap" for confirmation). It's perfectly normal for female rabbits. When they get pregnant they pull fur off it to help make the nest. A rabbit can have a dewlap and still be perfectly fit - to tell if a bunny is chubby you should look at the rest of...

Was doing bunny's nails today and realized she had broken one off (one of her "thumb" nails). It must have happened a while ago. Right now it's very short and there's a bit of nail (maybe a couple millimeters) and then a dark part on top (slightly longer) that isn't nail—looks like maybe the...

Fur mites can cause hair loss and irritated skin but I think they're fairly easy to take care of. Just make sure to take him to a rabbit-savvy vet as some cat/dog mite medications can be very dangerous for rabbits (someone check me on this but I believe Ivermectin is safe but Frontline can cause...

Haven't had experience but interested in your little experiment - please let us know if you see a difference!

Sorry for the long post... My (indoor) rabbit has a portion of the yard she likes to hang out in (accompanied) when we go outside. Today, I noticed her nudging a tiny mushroom on the ground. I jumped in and it looked like it had a few bites out of it. I noticed there were a few other little...

Hi - in need of quick advice. Just found bun buried in a package of black licorice strings (you know that long stringy candy?). No idea how much she ate (or where she got it). Obvi the sugar isn't good for her, but does anyone know of licorice is toxic? A few sites have licorice leaves listed as...
