    Suddenly stops using box

    Yep I have a litterbox big enough for her to lay in. She has a little hay-holder that I hung right above her litterbox. Last night she peed a little on the floor -_- During play time she is restricted to my room under supervision. I tried to barricade off the space under my bed, but she always...

    Suddenly stops using box

    How do I establish these boundaries, other than picking up after her?

    Potty trained...except for my bed

    I had the same problem with my Netherlands Dwarf buck of the same age. Is he showing any other signs of aggression? Oren growls and charges. Is he neutered? It could be that it is just a plushy surface, or it could be a territorial statement. Oren never peed on the couch or anywhere else -- just...

    Suddenly stops using box

    I recently brought home a mini rex doe. She was a rescue (owner-surrender). We just got back from her pre-spaying vet visit, and he estimates that she is about 1.5 yrs old. In the first week that I had her, she was perfectly potty trained! This was pleasantly surprising, as the rescue place had...

    Biting bunny

    Yes, neutering is a great idea. There is also a little trick to discourage the behavior when it happens: when he bites, let out a quick, shrill, high-pitched squeak. This is similar to the sound a rabbit makes when in pain, and it'll let him know that he's actually hurting you. Works great!

    best pellet food?

    My rabbit vet tells me to give my bunny food with a minimum of 20% protein. He recommended Oxbow Essentials Young Rabbit (for under 1 yr) and Oxbow Essentials Adult (for 1+)

    Bunny "growl"?

    He just got neutered on December 3rd. Also, I had no idea that pinecones were no good! I just have one in there for him to roll around and chew on. Darnit! Oh well, thanks for the heads-up! He's not incredibly cuddly, but we smell noses and rub faces sometimes. He is still getting used to being...

    Bunny "growl"?

    Lately, my 4 month old Netherlands Dwarf buck Oren has been "growling"! He charges forward and makes a quick, low, snorty, squeaky sort of sound, like "Mrrrp!" (This has earned him the middle name Murp) He does this when I put my hands in his kennel while he is in there, so I initially thought...

    Potty trained...except for my bed

    Hello, My 4 month-old Netherlands Dwarf buck is having potty-training issues. He has been living here with me for over a month now, and is completely potty trained. He'll leave a few pellets around his cage now and then, but the vast majority of them make it into the box. He only pees in the...

    Encouragement for eating greens?

    Thanks for all the replies! He is now absolutely attacking the kale, so I guess he was just unsure at first! I'll definitely give cilantro a try as well.

    Oren

    Oren (Dutch for "ears") is a sable marten colored Netherlands Dwarf buck born 7-16-13. I got him from a wonderful private breeder in North Dakota. She breeds show rabbits, specializing in the sable marten color. As just a baby, he had already taken 2nd place out of 90 others! She decided to sell...

    Encouragement for eating greens?

    I am trying to start introducing more fresh foods into the diet of my 4-month-old Netherlands Dwarf buck, but he "poo-poo's" everything. I've tried fresh, organic kale, sprouts, and mint so far -- nothing. He is curious about the kale, but doesn't exactly dive in, and refused to get anywhere...

    Interactive toy ideas?

    My 3-month-old Netherland Dwarf buck Oren (Dutch for "ears") has been with me for about a week now. He is getting more and more comfortable in his new home, and is successfully litterbox trained. I know how important toys are for mental and physical stimulation, as well as how important...

    Best brands, etc?

    Hello, I am in the process of getting a rabbit. I will likely get a smaller breed or some sort of dwarf. There are so many cages to choose from and so many different reports -- all my research has left me with so many answers. What is the best indoor cage for a small rabbit in terms of brand...

    Rabbits vs Guinea pigs

    Hello Here is my situation: I am currently living in a student apartment at a university, and need a service animal for depression/anxiety; I am considering either a dwarf rabbit (holland lop, polish, or mini rex) or a guinea pig. I have researched them both quite a bit, and I already have...
