im considering getting a rescue bun to be a companion for my bunny Gandalf. He’s currently in a 105x72cm cage with several levels and I know I need to expand it for another bunny. I’m considering expanding it to 175x72. He’s 3kg just for an idea of his size. They would also have access to the...

I love giving my rabbit Gandalf fresh greens. When I was out of a walk a couple of weeks ago I found a patch of dandelions and picked them, washed them, and you would think I had given him the best treat in the world the way he ate them. It got me wondering what other wild plants I could forage...

Are you sure it is thumping because she is scared of something? My rabbit thumps for a lot of reasons - it could be territorial if you have wild rabbits around or to get attention? Gandalf lives inside in the den and if he hears me coming up the stairs to him he thumps if I'm not going quick...

Hi all, Lately Gandalf has taken a real liking to digging in blankets. Whenever I have my duvet in the den and he is out he will spend ages digging in it, rearranging bits of it with his mouth and sliding his front paws forward to create a little dip that he can flop in to. I have given...

Gandalf does this for attention too. It's half way between sweet and painful. He learned quickly not to nibble me or my clothes so now he will dig on my leg then lick and nibble the sofa cushion next to me :ohwell:

I think it depends on how much company there will be for a rabbit. My flat mate works from home and I'm currently off long term sick so Gandalf gets plenty of attention and has people around and he's always happy being a lone bunny. Saying that I do notice when I haven't spent much time in the...

I'm finding it really hard to find anti static sprays here in the UK. Before I fork out for shipping from the USA does anyone from the UK know where I can get it or anything else that works? Also tried for the first time today using the cool setting on the hair dryer to help groom Gandalf. I...

So in the past month Gandalf's mane has extended down his back and got longer and denser. I'm keeping on top of grooming but have noticed (it's hard not too) that it is filled with static and instead of being just fluffy it seems very fly away and sticks to his ears in a weird way. He's started...

Whenever Gandalf needs washing I use a wash cloth or cotton buds with a bit of small pet shampoo mixed with water on. I find it works better than just plain water especially if he has clumps of poo stuck to his fur (when he was ill his ceotrphs ended up smushed to him half the time). I think the...

Thanks for the suggestions. Gandalf loves the carpet on his shelf in his cage so I will have to look our for a remnant I guess.

I've just bought an x pen as a secondary cage for Gandalf so I can move him from the den to the living area downstairs and outside with me. My only problem is that I have a laminate floor and he can't walk on it very well. What do people use as floors for their x pen? I want something cheap but...

When I swapped Gandalf to a bowl I put a few drops of apple juice in the water to encourage him. Then I showed it to him, dipped my finger in the water and held it out to him, he licked the water from my finger then I showed him the bowl and he went straight to drinking from it. As soon as I...

I really feel for you, I know just what it's like to have a bunny who thwarts your every attempt at bunny proofing. For the back of the couch I would try stuffing something in the hole so it's not so deep as covering the top if your bunny is anything like my Gandalf would exult in them using it...

My rabbit loves jumping, I swear he is part flea. If he is unsure if he can make a jump though he will spend ages looking at it, wagging his head around to get a better idea of distance, and he will often choose to look for a better place to jump if he doesn't think he can make it. So I wouldn't...

I swear Gandalf is becoming eom bunny with his mane. Ok this one made me laugh especially considering my bunny has been eating my couch...

I agree with PaGal, if he has only tried to nip you and not your daughter it's probably a territorial\dominance thing. My 'teenage' bunny started biting and that was territorial and trying to assert dominance. I ended up getting him fixed because I only hadn't till that point because he was...

Gandalf has one ear up and one ear down - he's a lion lop. He also has this cute eom fringe thing going on with his mane lately but I don't have a good picture of that yet.

Gandalf goes crazy over parsley and kale. He also loves eating willow balls and lets not forget chasing the cats. If he has a few boxes and his tunnel out to play. With he loves making the room into an assault course and will run circuits thumping and binkying his way around it before collapsing...

Is he playing with any of the toys in there? I find I have to change what is in Gandalfs cage every few days because he gets bored of the same toys. I also usually have some kind of cardboard toy or toilet roll tube toy in there for chewing which I usually swap out at night to provide something...

I finished building Gandalf's cage on Sunday and took some pictures as he was exploring for the first time. Its over twice the size of his old cage (only ever meant to be a temporary cage but Ive been saving a while to afford to build this one) and as you can see he is loving the extra space! As...
