Wanted to give everyone an update, we took herin and the vet isn't quite sure what's going on with her, so we'rehaving a urinalysis done and hopefully the results can help us figureout what's going on. Thanks for all the suggestions and warm wishes :)

It's kindof orangy red, thus we're not too surewhat it is. Can anyone think of any other illness this could be asymptom of? Just so we can be sure to cover all the bases tomorrow. Thanks for the well wishes :)

We are taking Fawn to the vet tomorrow, we'vedecided that the dark stains on her phonebook (where she lounges mostof the day) are not from her sorehocks, as those are healing quite welland haven't bled in a few weeks. We are thus assuming that she must bebleeding from her hindquarters, although...

*sigh* It's Fawn (isn't it always :? ) forawhile now we've noticed dark markings on the phonebook where shelounges most of the day, and in the past we assumed it was from hersore hocks (being a rex and predisposed to them). But lately we've been keeping a very close eye on her, and I...

When we went away in January, Fawn mauled thepoor friend that was coming over to feed the buns. He said "well, shekept grunting at me...I didn't know what it meant...but she wasfighting with me for the food bowl and she bit me!" poor guy still has a scar, and he wouldn't let me pay him because...

Anywhere from the nose to the back of the neck,including the ears. They don't like having their bodies pet (my theoryis that they associate it with our grooming them and they don't likeit) Ours don't like any petting during playtime unless they come begfor it or lay down fro a break and you...

Our buns have both been fixed for over twoyears, and I swear every other night one of them is mounting the otherat either the front or back end. I am guessing that they'll keep onlike this forever. The girl is dominant, but the boy still wants tohave his fun I suppose. :) not really sure why...

ours lick at or bite the cage bars (particularly the door) when they want to be let out :)

have you looked at the bottom of his feet tocheck for sore hocks? he could be turning it to try to keep pressureoff the pads of his feet, and rexs (as we are unfortunately well awareof at my house) are prone to sore hocks :( I really don't know beyond that, but there are many here who are...

also, watch for visual clues from his ears, if the ears or an ear turns towards you when you make a sound, then he is probably hearing you. I would wait til he's kinda dozing and then make some sort of noise he should recognize: talk in the tone you normally use with him, shake a treat bag...

thanks everyone! Yes, they really have verydistinct personalities :D We just love watching them and playing withthem :) (although they have never liked any of the toys we've boughtthem, as much as they have loved this box, it's crazy lol)

Hi there :) I hope it's ok if I start a picturethread. I know I've only been around a little while but I'd love toshare my bunnies with everyone :D I got some new orchids yesterday, and the buns absolutely lovedthe box they came in! Romeo was doing jump kicks like crazy he was soexcited! And...

We have a doe and a buck, and the doe is the onewho does most of the mounting. But they are both fixed and have beenfor a long time, so it's just a dominance thing with them. I'd saythought that there is a good chance she's just being dominant.

hmmm...ok that's it, come heck or highwater, our Fawn has got to lose some weight :( I'm so sorry for you loss honneybunnie8

I don't know the answer to most of yourquestions unfortunately, but to find the nearest wildlife rehabilitatoryou should call your local humane society or spca, they usually knowwhat local people are rehabilitating, and which person will be able totake care of the specific animal you are calling...

Are does just harder to litter train than bucks?Fawn is litter trained, but not quite as well as romeo. Also, she isforever backing her butt up to far and peeing over the side of thebox...:P

Someone here (I think it was Lyndsy and themonkies, but I can remember) built NIC cages with wood bases on castorsthat looks very mobile. Ours is rather difficult to move as it is noton wheels, but not impossible. As for getting them in the UK...I am sorry I can't be of more help:( I have seen...

We bought supplies for and built our NIC cage inone day (granted it was the whole day). Ours is held together by zipties, and is very sturdy, we also have 1 inch by 1 inch wood rodsrunning through it. Total is cost about $80, whereas the biggest rabbitcage at petsmart was $240 (and about 1/4 the...

we use one of those large plastic igloo's as a 'step' up to our bunnies second level too :) Great minds think alike.

We used black choroplast and black duct tape :)Looks good! The choroplast comes in a big sheet, although most shopswill cut it to size if you ask.
