Hello! It's been years since I have made a post here, but my girl has recently gone through a lot and I'd really appreciate advice on improving her quality of life. JoJo is a 5-6 years old bun, and she's recently lost her back right leg to cancer. It became infected, and she also made it...

Hi, I'm Jinglebell. My mommy sometimes calls me Jingle though or Booboo. I don't know why. Humans are weird. I'm Jolie and my mommy calls me Jojo or Jo. I don't really care what she calls me, as long as she keeps bringing me dandelions to munch on.

Really? :) Okay, thank you. I really do like my little girl, but I've been worried that she doesn't like her home since she always seems so nervous. The person I got her from didn't know how to care for rabbits (he didn't even know she was supposed to eat hay), and she seems like she's been kind...

Oooh, really? Because she does actually kind of...freeze from fright when I get too close, a lot. And I do notice her breathing looks pretty fast. But she wasn't hunched over at all, so I wasn't sure.

So my fluffy little lop mix hates me, bless her heart. And by me, I mean every creature on two legs, and by hate I mean is terrified of. I've been trying to get her to warm up to me for months, and I've mostly just come to the conclusion that she's never going to want me touching her. (Though...

I bought a hay bale from Tractor Supply for my two rabbits a couple of months ago, and it's still not even halfway gone. It's not as vibrantly green looking as the stuff I used to buy from the pet store, but the buns seem to like it better. I also asked the cashier at TS whether I would be...

I have a bit of an odd question about my rabbit's behavior. I'm still in the process of bonding my boy and girl, but it's been on hold for the past month or so because I've been busy with classes. Their cages are both in my room, but they get let out for floor time separately. Whenever Jolie...

Just a quick question regarding rabbit diet. My fluffy little lop mix is between 3.5 and 4 lbs, and she gets 1/2 cup of Oxbow pellets a day, with lots of hay in between. My big fat flemish gets about a cup a day. The flemish's pellets last almost the entire day because he spaces out when he...

Thanks guys, I'll definitely try that! I've currently got the bale standing up vertically and I've been trying to pull from it that way, so that's probably part of my issue. I'll buy a big bin tonight and put it in there! Would you recommend that I poke holes in the top of the bin, or...

Whatever she is, she's adorable <3

If you're lazy and/or completely terrible at putting things together (like myself) you could always buy a large X-Pen online. You could probably even use it as a base for a larger cage and add on a top, if you need to. My rabbit has never even tried to jump out, so it's never been an issue for...

She's adorable, and I'm so glad she's found a great home with you! Cinnabun is an adorable name too, by the way. :) Have you started letting her out to run around yet? When I brought my rabbits home they just automatically assumed they owned my house, fff.

So I posted a few weeks ago asking if "horse quality hay" was what I should get for my bun, and got a lot of great responses. I bought a big 40 lb bale of hay from my local tractor supply store, and while it's not nearly as vibrantly green as the oxbow stuff, my rabbits actually seem to be...

Of course! And let me just say, I was definitely a skeptic while reading all of the "NEUTERING IS AWESOME IT MAKES BUNS MORE FRIENDLY/HOUSE TRAINED/ECT" posts around here, but for me it really did work. Have you looked into specifically low cost spay/neuter clinics? I don't know where you're...

I'm interested in finding out, as well. I've been having trouble finding much information about them as pets online.

Unfortunately, rabbits in general aren't usually "cuddly" animals. They're prey animals, so their instinct when being picked up is that they're going to be eaten. Many never get used to being picked up, and how they react to other sorts of attention varies from bun to bun, depending on their...

Thank you so much! I've been trying to find websites devoted to Flemish care but haven't had much luck. I nearly got him neutered too early before I found out about the difference in maturity growth! Anyone who knows of a reputable source of information on these little guys is welcome to share...

^ I second that. Check out this website, they've got a lot of great advice. As far as I know, you should be feeding your bunnies unlimited pellets until they are at least seven months old. :)

Hello again, forum goers. I have yet another small handful of questions that I would like input on. I've been doing some research about my rabbit's diet, because he finally reached the age that the HRS recommends taking them off of unlimited pellets. The only thing is, he's a Flemish Giant...

So I'm not sure if Jolie technically counts as a rescue, since I didn't get her from a shelter, but I bought her from a breeder who was definitely not rabbit savvy (he didn't know that bunnies eat hay?) and she was kept outside in a stinky cage. So to me, I feel like I rescued her. Here she...
