I have several pet rabbits. I'm concerned one day soon I may not be able to afford and/or find pellets and hay for them. I'm thinking I may have to resort to outdoor wild plants such as clover, dandelions, unfertilized yard grass, garden items (broccoli, spinach, etc.) Anyone have a list they...

My experience with having a buck mate two days in a row (different does) has so far led to the first mated doe delivering a full litter but the other doe - the one mated with the same buck the next day - is either no litter or maybe 1-2 kits. Is there a rule for how long to rest a buck between...

I'm considering placing two litters of 6 week old kits together in order for the mothers not to have to nurse too long. I do not have another hutch to move one of the does to her own cage. Can I put two litters of 6 week old kits together without concerns of them harming each other? I figure I...

I've been buying the 32 ounce "Happy Home Pet Products Water Bottle For Small Animals" for my 10 pet rabbits. After about a year they break. I am left with just the caps/spouts. I cannot find where I can buy just a replacement bottle. Neither can I find anyone suggesting a some other bottle...

Until a few days ago I had two healthy and ready to deliver pregnant does. About 3 days before they were to deliver, I put into each nesting box a good supply of new timothy grass purchased the day before in a plastic bag from a local feed store. Less than 2 days later I found one of the does...

I have one doe who had 1 baby and another doe who had 7 babies. I have one open hutch. Can I put the 8 bunnies in the same hutch? The two does were in attached next door hutches so the babies could see each other through the wire screen since birth. Thanks.

Hello. I have several questions most of which are related to raising kits. I'll throw them all (the questions, not the kits) out here and see what answers I get. 1) Any suggestions on how to get a doe to accept her nesting box? I have two nesting boxes which I plan to share at various times...

I have some kits which I expect will be venturing out of the nesting box soon. I wonder if when they do so if their little feet might slip through the wire mesh floor and possibly hurt them. I have the standard wire mesh flooring used in many rabbit cages, what is I am guessing is the one half...

My rabbit is preparing to deliver her first litter. I have a nest box with plenty of hay bedding in her cage. The nest box has been in her cage for several weeks. The problem is she's building a nest outside of the nest box. My question is if she should have the kits outside of the nest...

I have a small insulated shed with a dirt floor housing six rabbits in 3'x3' hutches. I clean the floor every couple weeks but the smell is still quite strong. How can I control the smell without harming the droppings which I will later place in my organic garden? Posting a picture. The screen...

Hello. Thinking about making my own cages. Anyone know where I might find 1" x 1 1/2" wire mesh? I haven't seen it at hardware stores. I suppose maybe a pet / animal feed store. Any ideas welcome. Thanks.

Hope I'm in the right forum. Excuse the mistake if I'm not. I'm new here. Had a young doe with her first litter abandon her little ones. She's in a nice outdoor 6' long x 3' wide hutch half of which is occupied by the dad. She delivered on day 32. I went out about 6am and found nine babies...
