Hi all! I have four buns. One pair - lops - are litter-mates and fully bonded - almost six months old - male/female. The other pair have been together for about two months. They are male/female nearly the same age - one year. The male is a Lionhead and the female is a dwarf (not sure which...

Hi all: in exchange for some computer work, a guy up the street gave us a bag of Ecotrition Essential Blend Food for Adult Rabbits" and it has all kinds of stuff in it, including: Soybean hulls Feeding oat meal Wheat middlings Peanuts Minced Onions Ground wheat Corn gluten Cane Molasses Salt...

Hi all: It's been a very long time since I've participated. I lost my Coco-pop and and in my grief I ignored the many wonderful sentiments left for me here regarding his loss. I'm sorry for that - I don't know how to deal with attention or grief and I didn't know how to deal with the sentiments...

Please don't be upset about this post. It's a tragic story born of good will and I'm a mess about it. I lost my first rabbit to a tragic accident. Coco was the perfect little Netherland and I thought all rabbits were as sweet and calm as he was. We were to get a companion bun for Coco, but...

Losing my little Coco was an unbelievable shock and you all helped me immensely. Thanks again :) Pie is fitting in around here beautifully. She binkys like a little crazy bunny all the time, and seems extremely happy. She uses this house like a race track and she runs so fast she's just a...

This morning, while it was still dark, my roommate and Coco collided on the floor. After that Coco ran into his rabbit hole and my roommate had to coax him out. He was as limp as a noodle, non responsive and breathing abnormally. Sam ran him up to my bedroom, just in enough time for me to...

Hi all: My latest adventures with my first bunny (nd dwarf) is that he's now apparently 'leaking' on me. It looks like the deep orange - reddish color of his regular urine. This has been happening, most noticeably, for the past week. What happens is when I pick him up, we are always...

Good Sunday morning all! Newbie back with another Q! Coco, while he loves to be petted and scratched and will sit with you all day long as long as you're doing this, does not seem to be bonding to either myself or my roommate. He doesn't ever approach us and still often runs when we approach...

I am interested in rescuing or adopting a female dwarf breed, or other rabbit similarly sized to a Netherland Dwarf. I would like a companion for Coco, my one year old neutered N. Dwarf, and would prefer to rescue or adopt. We can give her a wonderful home with lots of activities, good...

Hi all: I'm sorry if this question has been asked but I'm reading all kinds of conflicting rabbit husbandry articles and I'm so new to rabbit ownership. So I thought I'd come where people can talk back to me. SUGAR: We've cut back quite a bit on the granola (too much sugar) and we have found...

Not knowing what "binkying" is, a few days ago I watched, with great envy, videos of bunnies "binkying." Well! This morning Coco did his first! On our couch. He popped straight up, did a half-turn and ran down the length of the couch. I'm so happy!! This means he's happy, right?

Morning all! I wanted to share something that I did for Coco this weekend, and it took less than one hour. I could tell he was bored and whenever he went to "get away" he would find a dark place. So ... I made him a little above ground rabbit hole! I taped up five cardboard boxes (each box is...

Coco is shedding in a big way! I know my parrots need extra rest and good nutrition when they molt. I'm wondering if Coco has any special needs during this time, and how long with this little fuzzball decorate my t-shirts??

Hi all! Coco is my first bunny and I got him in early Feb. Just doing a progress check to see if all is going normal. New developments in his behavior include: Now interested in cords (!) and his exploring the house has now included trying to get behind furniture with lots of cords (these...

I had Coco out in a friends screened-in patio that also has a pool. For the past two Sundays Coco and I spend about an hour out there as I want him to get sunshine and fresh air. I thought the pool was not even a consideration because 1) surely he knows the difference between water and...

Is it just me? I routinely fight a strong urge to put things on Coco's head. I must look for ear bows or a hat or something. He's the chillest little bunny :)

I've had Coco for almost two months and he always uses his cage or this little basket thing we call his out-house (it's in another part of the house). He has never once had an accident anywhere in the house either with poop or pee. Every morning I get Coco up and snuggle him on my bed with me...

We discovered this morning that Coco loves Bok Choy. We gave him one stalk and he immediately ate all the green, left the stalk. That stuff was $5.00 for two small bunches. I don't mind at all, spending the money, but I don't want to it to go to waste either. Can I let him eat as much as he...

I've heard that rabbits are nocturnal, but the vet told me they're not - that they need a full 24 hour night/day cycle just like people. I've been keeping parrots for many years and we all get up about 5am here. Birds and bunny go to bed around 8pm. Is this normal? He makes the occasional...

Good morning all! I am new here and had a very nice and informative welcome over in the introduction forum. I just adopted Coco, a one-year old Netherland Dwarf and, not knowing his history, or anything about keeping rabbits, took him straight to the vet where he got an excellent physical from...
