Miyo and Rodney are in the hands of my brother for 6 weeks while I'm out of the country. While I'm confident he will do a good job feeding, brushing and changing their cage, he simply doesn't have the time to go get fresh organic veggies for my buns. They're on oxbow pellets and unlimited...

A couple weeks ago I posted about my 10 month old minilop Rodney leaving dribbles of pee on the carpet. My boyfriend convinced me that it was nothing to worry about as he was still active, eating, and drinking a lot. So I observed Rodney from a distance and he did seem fine, wasn't leaving drops...

:tears2: I was playing with my bunny for a few minutes and I noticed there were a few wet drops on the carpet where he was hopping around. At first I thought it was drool maybe, but I patted them with a piece of tissue and it was pale yellow. Then I moved him from where he was sitting, and...

Now that Miyo and I are settled in, I decided to get her a friend so she has company during the day. She's a total snobby princess so I got some help at the shelter picking a submissive bunfriend for her. I ended up coming home with Rodney, a big tri-colored dutch sweetie! He's 6 years old, so...

Some background, maybe relevant: The last week I've been home sick, so I haven't been able to go to the supermarket to get fresh veggies for Miyo. Usually she gets a cup of veg a day, but she had to go without for about 5 days. (sorry baby girl! :( ) During that period I noticed she drank more...

This is quite embarrassing, but I can't pick up my own rabbit. The last time Miyo got her nails clipped was about a month ago at the vet's, right after I found her. I've noticed in the past week that her nails have grown quite long again, so I went and bought bunny nail clippers. Fat chance...

From what I've read, pet rabbits usually get a fairly strict, consistent diet in order to keep them in healthy weight and prevent unbalancing the gut flora, right? My Miyo is 7 months old, spayed. I usually give her half a handful of alfalfa pellets in the morning and in the evening, and...

HELP! My rabbit tore off and ate part of a chip packet wrapper. I couldn't get it out of her mouth in time :cry1: This is the size of the rip: She swallowed it and drank some water, she seems fine, no odd behaviour. I gave her some food to maybe help her pass it out quicker. It's...

Yep. This is another one of those "how do I get my bunny to love me?" posts. Miyo was a thin little black and white thing I found on the roadside while jogging one day. I took her home and we've basically been chill roommates for the past month or so. I got her spayed last week, and I've...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/rabbits-guinea-pigs/other/auction-620401454.htm I've been using this litter for Miyo, but recently read that pine is not good for small animals? What do you guys think? Is it safe for my bunny or should I switch to something paper or aspen based?

Oxbow Young Rabbit says to feed the pellets in unlimited quantities with unlimited hay. But given the choice, Miyo will always go for pellets over hay. I'm worried that she won't eat any hay at all if I give her all the pellets she wants. Should I just let her eat unlimited Oxbow? Or if I ration...

miyo loves pellets, but does not like hay. i've tried 3 different kinds of hay and she shows the same disinterest to all of it. she'll eat it, but only a little bit. i read that they're supposed to eat more than their body size in hay each day, but she eats maybe 10 stalks of hay a day, tops...

hi guys it's miyo's adopted mum again, from the conspiracy thread. the past couple of days i've been cleaning up her poos after letting them build up for couple hours or so, i don't have a cage for her yet so they're all over my apartment. they looked fairly normal. today i was petting her...

hi guys! i'm a VERY new rabbit owner. i found a little bunny on the tracks while i was jogging yesterday morning, i couldn't bear to leave it as it looked dirty and was just sitting there looking lost and sad. i'm sure it was an abandoned domestic bunny as it definitely doesn't look the the...
