A week ago, my rabbits went on a couple trips to the vet (emerg / regular rabbit vet) for a GI slowdown. After some time and sub-q fluids, he is doing much better and poops are nearly back to normal (varied sizes, but mostly regular sized, and lots of them). BUT he seems to have lost his...

I have two adult, bonded, spayed/neutered buns. Abe is an English angora and I noticed yesterday that he was having small poops (I am 99% sure the small poops are his.) This coincided with his shedding, so my first thought is I waited too long to start plucking - his fur grows at an uneven...

I put my rabbits in their pan last night just before bed with a fresh litter box. I noticed this morning that there was not much poop in there - maybe a dozen pellets or so in the pen (most were in the box but they are not a super fastidious pair of rabbits). When I feed them pellets and veg in...

So I am setting up a new area for my rabbits which is basically a 4' x 4' area at the back of an L-shaped bedroom. So I would be closing off the opening with a baby gate. I found a nice gate with vertical bars as barriers. They are 2.25" apart. Will my rabbits be able to squeeze through there? I...

My big male bunny, Abe, likes to jump in my lap for pets but more often than not will begin digging and nipping at my lap/stomach. I haven't been able to get a clear answer on why - some say it's a dominance thing, but Abe is incredibly submissive so I'm not convinced. Some say they are happy...

Some of you may recall that I was having a heck of a time with one of my rabbits, Penny, who was peeing everywhere - in her hutch and out - and causing damage and generally driving me nuts, and giving her husbun Abe bad habits. Nothing I tried worked and Abe developed sore hocks from standing...

I've had a heck of a time finding a solution for presenting hay to my rabbits in big enough quantities for them, easy for them to get the hay out, but without a hole so big that all the hay falls out and makes a mess. A couple weeks ago I found a solution that works for me - the best so far...

Is there such a thing? I've tried rubber mats and tiles and they dig and bite as it. They don't eat it, they just destroy it and make a mess. I cover with newspaper to give them other stuff to do and it mostly does deter them, but I'd like to find some kind of flooring with a little give to it...

I am thinking of using rubber mats as flooring my rabbits. Currently they are on sticky tiles, but this hutch may not work out and if it doesn't I'm going to try a pen-type enclosure on a tile floor with a mat of some sort. I was originally thinking one of those hard plastic mats that people put...

I have two rabbits - Abe and Penny. They bonded and both are spayed. They are young adults. I had Abe first by a few months and he came from a breeder but he litter trained very quickly. He did poo/pee all over the kitchen but that pretty much stopped when he was fixed. I get Penny some...

What is safe to use to seal a wood rabbit hutch? Water based varathane? Furniture wax? Beeswax? They chew on it rarely but not never.

Hey! I've tried every hay rack imaginable. If it's too hard to get at, the rabbits don't eat it. If it's too easy to get at, they make a huge mess of their cage and then pee in it. If I put it in the litterbox, they just crush and pee on it. A few weeks ago I used a box and cut a hole in the...

I am bring my angora in to the vet tomorrow for a sore hock / developing abscess. I will have to bring him to work first, then bring him back to work after for the rest of the day, as I live quite far and am quite busy at work. Historically, my angora handles moving around pretty well and will...

I have two rabbits, bonded, both fixed. The male has pretty good litter habits - always inside his litterbox except from time to time he'll pee on the kitchen floor (there is a litter in the kitchen) but overall manageable. The female, though, seems to refuse to use her litterbox. I'm not sure...

I have a large property in the country so I know my lawn is free of pesticides. I frequently cut grass and dandelions and plantain to bring in for the buns, and I'd like to bring them outside on a harness. How do I know if the lawn is truly safe? There are lots of good plants for them, and...

My English angora and his lionhead wife (both fixed) live together in a 42" x 24" hutch with 6-12 hours of free time around the house daily. Penny isn't quite litter trained and will pee on the floor of the hutch, and she peed on the seagrass mats I had in there for them so I threw them away...

I adopted a little lionhead yesterday as a friend for my angora. He did some speed dating and an adoption event and these two got along fabulously. They spent the evening out together (supervised), I separated them overnight, and they have been together again all day. I have read some guides on...

I am torn between timothy-based pellets and high protein pellets, the latter always seem to be alfalfa-based. When I first got him I didn't mind him being on the alfalfa because he was skinny, but now he's put on some weight and while he's not fat at all, I don't want him to gain any more. He...

I have one rabbit, an adult male angora, neutered. I know that rabbits are group animals and I want him to be as happy as possible. The expense and responsibility of a second rabbit is not an issue, but if it were all the same to Abe (my rabbit) I would not get a second one. I read somewhere...

My rabbit was neutered yesterday. He is eating, peeing and pooping as usual. He was groggy yesterday but is lovely today. He has not been licking at his balls a whole lot, maybe a little. But it looks like one of the wounds has opened (the vet used skin glue instead of sutures). There is no...
