    Holland lop in Northern Michigan!

    I'm moving and where I'm moving I'm not going to be living where my rabbit should be at. I'd like to find her a good home. She's a 5 year old Holland Lop. Not spayed. I've kept her both indoors and outdoors. She makes a good house rabbit and has proven to be easily litter trained and not too...

    Saddly, we are expecting kits...

    The birth of new life is meant to be a happy time. A time of celebration. Well, maybe for the rest of them it is. But not for me. I own a rabbit. Sure, I don't give her the best care in the world. But I try. She can run around for a good 4 hours a day. She has a water dish. She has fresh...

    Should I bring her in?

    I think she'd be plenty warm enough if she'd only go into her cubby... It's fully blocked from the wind and packed full of hay (with some wiggle room). But, yeah, the rest of it was made for summer not winter. She has a blanket over the door, but I don't think it does a whole lot... :cry1: The...

    Should I bring her in?

    And maybe if I bring her in I can convince the family that she'll be fine inside... I hate keeping her outside, but I have to have the consent of everyone in the house before I bring her inside full time. They're convinced she'll smell.. :nono

    Should I bring her in?

    It is supposed to get down to 7 degrees (F) tonight. In fact, it's already down to 7 degrees. There is a wind chill of -15 here right now. Does my outdoor bunny need to come in? She has a hutch. The hutch is blocked from the wind. She has a cubby with plenty of straw but she just never uses...

    Contemplating bringing her in...

    When I got my Holland Lop almost a year and a half ago, she was 4 years old and had always been an outdoor rabbit. We didn't have a hutch built, so we built a cage for her in a spare bedroom and kept her there for the winter. Come summer, we moved her outside. I feel better with her being...

    How to keep her happy during the winter?

    Alright, thanks everyone. And there's no way I'd leave the dog outside. She'd bark all day long. She's never been out more than 30 minutes and always barks to let us know she wants in. I do have a shed that I can move her into when it gets real cold out. I'm planning on moving her in a more...

    How to keep her happy during the winter?

    Unfortunity, my dog has become unhappy with my rabbit lately and she's been moved outside. Now that it's getting cold, I'm dreading the day when I'm going to have to fully confine her to her hutch. Normally she has full access to the run outside of her cage but I don't think I should let her out...

    Cats and rabbits

    My bunny, Cookie, is currently inside the house. I've sectioned off half of the house for her for the day to keep my Labrador away. The dog's looked at her the wrong way one too many times. I'm not willing to risk it. But, what about the cats? I can't keep them out with a simple gate. They can...

    Our and In?

    I'm moving my rabbit back outside now that it is warming up again. The only problem is, although she gets along with my cats, I don't know how she would take to another rabbit. So I don't want to risk introducing another rabbit to keep her company. Her hutch is pretty large. Not huge, but it...

    The Cookie Report!

    And we have progress on Goal #1! I let her out of her cage while I was in the room and she actually hopped up to me and sniffed my arm! She'd then run back into the cage and slowly come back up to me. It's a good sign, a very good sign. :big wink:

    The Cookie Report!

    Okay, and in reply to her poopy butt issue, it's getting better. I think it was a change in food. Now that I've gotten that sorted out she's doing better. I haven't seen anything down there for a few days, but I'm trying to be careful. I can't even pet her. While she's eating or drinking I can...

    The Cookie Report!

    I've decided to start a little "journal" if you will about my Holland Lop, Cookies and Cream (Cookie for short) No, she's not black and white... Anyway, I got her several months ago. She's in a temporary cage on the floor probably around 5 foot long by 4 foot wide. The fencing is most likely...

    Eye and sticking droppings issue...

    Okay then, I'll try giving her less pellets then and try to get a hold of a vet about her eye. Thanks.

    Eye and sticking droppings issue...

    I just got Cookie a few weeks ago. She's middle aged, from what I was told. She's a Holland Lop. I've offered unlimited hay and limited pellets as well as kept her pen cleaned. She's been offered a couple of dandelion leaves a day, I know... not near enough. I'm going to get her some green leaf...

    Tips on keeping smell down?

    I'll start putting some hay in her carrier then. Hopefully that will help for now until the carefresh is gone then I'll switch over to the wood pellets for sure. Thank you everyone!

    Tips on keeping smell down?

    I plan on switching over to wood pellets. We bought the carefresh because it was pretty cheap ($4 for a smaller bag). And as far as I can tell the only place she has urinated is inside of the carrier. It's better that she has chosen the carrier over the box as the carrier is covered which makes...

    Tips on keeping smell down?

    I've had my bunny, who I think I'll call Cookies and Cream (Cookie for short). She has her own small room that is fenced off with some old shelving, blankets on the floor, a large hard sided cat carrier in one corner, and a covered section in another corner as well as a small litter box I...

    New indoor bunny!

    Yeah, I'm going to be very careful with them. I put them down and then secured them with the fencing things and then put a blanket down and secured that as well. First steps toward litter training! She has used it already. She also used the space around it, but I guess she isn't going to be...

    New indoor bunny!

    I got a sweet little holland lop yesterday. She's in a makeshift pen in our extra bedroom with a small hard-side crate as her "den". The room is empty, and we have some barriers up to keep her on the blankets to help protect the rug. She has free reign of the room inside the fence and seems to...
