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...

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 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...

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...

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...

Hello! I recently adopted this beautiful little girl from someone who was trying to rehome her. From what I was told, he was having a hard time with it because no one wanted her because she was a mixed breed and not pedigreed. Obviously I think that's ridiculous, who could say no to a cute...

I've been looking around for local feed sellers in order to buy fresher quality feeding materials for my rabbits in bulk (I love Oxbow hay but it gets a tad expensive, and I've got a growing Flemish) and I see a lot of hay advertised as "horse quality". Can this be fed to rabbits? I don't really...

Hello. So last night I brought home my long awaited second bunny, a beautiful blue eyed lop mix that I named Jolie. She's an extremely scared little girl, and I attribute it to the fact that she wasn't raised with very bunny savvy people. I've read around a bit about working with scared...

I picked Jinglebell up from the vet a couple of hours earlier, and since he came out of his cage he hasn't left the corner that he's laid down in. I put a bit of food in front of him, but it doesn't look like he's touched it. When I tried to pet him he made the I'm-hurt-bunny-noise teeth...

So in the span of four months of rabbit ownership, I've gone from being certain that I'd only ever want one rabbit at a time to desperately wanting a second. This is partly because I see my rabbit constantly trying to cuddle with my cat, and I feel bad because the cat rarely wants bunny cuddles...

Hello! I'm really hoping that someone can help me with this, because I'm at a loss. My bunny's cage is an X pen, and currently all I've got for a bottom are some carpet squares covered with a sheet. I'd really like to make something that will keep all of his little poops safely inside the cage...

So I made an appointment with my vet to get my Flemish boy Jinglebell neutered in early September, when he'll be 14 weeks. I keep reading that boy rabbits can be fixed once they're 3 1/2 months of age, but it just occurred to me today that it might be different for him since he's a giant breed...

I've been scouring the internet for bunny toy ideas, and so far my Jingle's given lackluster reactions, at best, to anything I put down for him to play with. Most he just ignores. I have one long wooden block bird toy hanging in his cage with a bell on the end that he ignores, I've tried...

Jinglebell is a steel Flemish Giant, currently 7 months old. His hobbies include trying to cuddle with my cat, eating shoes, and attempting to pee on my bed. He is much too spoiled for his own good.

Hello! I'm Jenny, and I'm new to the forum as well as the fine art of bunny-rearing. I recently acquired my first ever rabbit, a gorgeous little Flemish that I named Jinglebell. He's eight weeks old, playful, inquisitive, but also quite affectionate. He was hopping up to me and letting me pet...

I hope I'm just being paranoid about my first rabbit, but I think there's something wrong with his poop. At first I thought he was leaving uneaten cecals around, but despite the fact that they smell, they don't physically resemble cecals at all. Also, there's no mucus or anything. They're just...
