I have 2 pairs of rabbits. One pair is in a chicken hutch/run at the moment and I let them out today as a bit of an experiment to see what they'd do (one of them had started a tunnel to china in the run so it was a bit of a disaster-area). They stayed quite close to their "house" and went back...

I'm looking into getting a timber bunny shed to move my bunnies into. It will be divided up the middle so that each pair of bunnies can have half. The builder can put mesh or cladding wherever I want so I need to decide how much mesh to put on. The basic designs have full height mesh on...

I've adopted another pair of bunnies. The hutch they came with is quite nice for sleeping quarters, but there's no running about room so I have to carry them to the run for them to have any room. I'm going to get a second storey on my other bunnies' house for the new bunnies to go in there...

I have adopted another pair of bunnies. They've got their own hutch, but I need to set them up an attached run ASAP. There are so many possibilities as to what to do and what I'll do in the longer term won't sort things for the shorter term. My question is this. If I put a temporary run...

Hi, I've just adopted another pair of rabbits and one has done a runny caecotrope/poo. He had a bit of runny poo on his bottom and there are normal 'poo pellets' in his toilet, but also a squishy runny one held by the grate. These bunnies have been on a diet of (mainly) rabbit muesli. They...

Hi everyone, haven't been on the forum for a while, my initial learning curve has plateaued and everything is running smoothly so haven't needed to ask any panicky questions :D I've seen some flooring at Ikea, and would like some opinions from "bunny people" as to its suitability for my bunny...

Could those of you who understand rabbit nutrition have a look at the ingredients list of this? http://peterspureanimalfoods.com/products/rabbit/food/multi-grain-plus.php Why would food have bentonite (clay) and limestone (rock, supposedly for calcium?) in it. Isn't carob fake chocolate...

Curiosity.... I can and will search online, but if anyone just knows and can save me the time (which I don't have at the moment and am not feeling well), how do bunnies organize themselves in their warrens? It seems a lot of effort to bond pet bunnies, what do they all do in their natural...

I now understand that rabbits aren't a hardy type of pet like a dog, but how likely is it that a particular rabbit/rabbits will have issues? I read about stasis and gastric upsets and this that and the other, and it makes me anxious that I'll go out and they'll be sick or dead..... Are these...

When I went to the rabbit show run by our local "rabbit club", the guy said I shouldn't keep my new rabbits together, they'll end up killing each other. Their website also says each rabbit should be housed individually. He scared me, but everything else I've read suggests that rabbits are not...

I am a new rabbit owner and I am very surprised at how much wee and poo they generate. Am I overfeeding, is there something wrong with them, or do rabbits really put out such a huge quantity of poo? I feel like in Macbeth, who would have thought the bunnies to have had so much poo in them...

I've bought some (outdoor) runs for the bunnies and would like some ideas as to what you bunny people have found a good way to arrange them/attach to their bunny house. I've bought some pavers to put inside around the edges to (hopefully) stop them digging out, but assuming they can't dig...

So, Cassie has lunged at me a couple of times. It seems to me that she was claiming the litter box as hers and was warning me away (she runs away and jumps in the box or upstairs - it's obvious she wants me to leave her alone). It was just a little stomp forward which gave me a fright, but I...

My new boy adoptee is neutered but the girl isn't. I'm sending her in to be "done". I have some questions: given that they live together, will he fret or anything when she "disappears" for the day and, if so, what to do about it, if there's anything you can do? when she comes home smelling...

I've bought some hunks of wood chew toys for Cassie, as she chomped on their new hutch ramp the minute she got inside. She (or they) are chewing on them and have left the hutch alone, so that's good. I also got her a mobile type thing with raffia rope veges hung on it and a bit of loofa and...

I've had my new adopted rabbits for a week now. I've given them some people names as well as their bunny names, so they are aka Cassie and Stuart. They don't come when called, so I don't think they'll be too confused by it. All the superstars have stage names. The cold front came in that...

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a new bunny owner. I've put oaten hay all over the bottom floor of the bunnies hutch and some absorbent hemp chips in their "bedroom". I've been reading for all information and it says you can use straw as bedding. Peastraw is cheaper than hay, but if I...

Sorry for all these questions, but I know nothing... :) My adopted bunnies have come with 2 hutches. One is a little house with an upstairs "bedroom" at one end, and a low run underneath the bedroom and an "outdoor area" (about 50cm high) at the other end. Both the outdoor area and the...

I've just got rabbits for the first time and am learning everything I can. They're still settling in, but when (if?) I can let the bunnies out to run around the backyard, what happens in relation to access to food? The bunny info says not to change their diet suddenly because they'll get...

New bunny owner...... I live in Australia and we have mosquito-borne diseases that kill rabbits, one of which you are not allowed to vaccinate against (myxomatosis), so it is recommended to put flywire on the hutch to minimize exposure to mosquitos. I've got the flywire for my new adopted...
