Ok, I finally got a nice picture of her, so I will introduce our new little girl, Misty Blue. She is a beautiful blue mini rex that took best of variety at the rabbit show were we got her. She will be our show rabbit for 4H. She is also a sweet little girl, quiet, and easy going. She seemed...

Ok, I got a phone that can actually SEND the photos I take. I the area is a bit messy, but thats rabbits for ya! We clean as we go for sure!

Well, I did it! I moved 3 of out of the 4 rabbits we have down into the basement. I was able to build a very nice enclosure with the nic grids. It was very easy too. Zip ties and grids that's all it took. For the floor I just got those puzzle style floor mats that are often used in day care...

Ok, so I am a bad pet parent and I do not buy presents for the rabbits or guinea pigs for christmas. But.......I think this counts. My kids get several packages for christmas that come in card board boxes. I don't know about your rabbits, but all my small pets LOVE card board! They like it...

Gosh, this has been a hard last month and a half. Today, very unexpectedly, we lost our disabled guinea pig, Brownie Fluffernutter. My son, of course is very much beside himself. Not sure exactly what happened, but last night while I was at work, I got a call from home saying that Brownie...

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice about sore hocks. Tonight when we took the rabbits to the pet store for a lil romp, I noticed that SunDancer seemed to have a couple of small scabs, one on the bottom of each foot toward the ankle. They weren't open sores or bleeding, but...

we have 3 guinea pigs as well as three rabbits, and they all take turns coming out for play time. The guinea pigs don't seem to mind hanging out with the rabbits, and the rabbits just pretty much ignore the piggies. However, we have one piggie, Mr Squeekies, that not only asserts his...

Ok, so its not a rabbit cage. But today I made my own cage for the 3 guinea pigs we have. I felt that our boys needed a bigger space and my 10 year old son's built in dressers were the perfect size for the base. I used 12 inch metal shelving units cut to fit the top of the dresser. I got...

I woke up this morning and discovered that SunDancer had KITS! 5 of them! (sadly one didn't make it,and one of them was cold) Thankfully we put fleece in their cages as we didn't expect this and she didn't have a nest box. I found one actually outside of the cage. It was cold, so I quickly...

We went to a rabbit show today to get some tips on showing rabbits. We are very new to the rabbit show thing and we joined 4H for the first time this year. In September we went to our first show and purchased two pedigreed castor mini rex rabbits. Well, today we learned we might have been...

My son, Ryan, has taught his rabbit, Pepsi, a new trick! A hyper rabbit for a hyper boy! With more tricks like that, they will give new meaning to the term "show rabbit!"

My kids are going to be showing rabbits for 4H this year. We have 2 mini rex rabbits (they are brother and sister littermates) that will be 6 months old tomorrow. They are pedigreed and have ear tatoos. (We got them at a rabbit show in September.) The truth is, we have never shown rabbits...

The other day I noticed that Black Jack seemed to be favoring his right front paw, almost like a limp. The kids and I examined him and it appears that one of his claw/nails was hanging there. He apparently broke his nail somehow, not sure what caused it. It was close to the nail bed, and it...

2 weeks ago I had taken Black Jack, my mini rex, in to get neutered. Lo and behold he also had an abscess along his jaw line. The vet took care of both surgeries at the same time and he recovered just dandy, came home and behaved as if nothing happened. His abscess wound is healing very...

Has anyone had experience with this topic. I have heard about how you can put your bunny in a trance by tipping it upside down and it will stay still. My daughter discovered inadvertantly that SunDancer does this. She will tip her on her back and the rabbit is in a trance like state. She can...

It looks as if Black Jack invited SunDancer over for dinner! They were having floor time, and BJ's cage is in the livingroom. I just open the door to let him come in and out as he likes. Well, SunDancer decided SHE was invited in last night. BJ thought it was great! They were sharing a meal...

So we inherited Pepsi, SunDancer's brother and littermate from my daughter's friend. It turns out he is the scrappiest lil guy ever! If you notice from the photo, that Edgar, my son's cat is on the back of this chair. Also notice Pepsi, the rabbit on the seat of this chair. Yes, the smallest...

Our newest member of the rabbit family, Pepsi, is a bit of a stinker! He is 5 months old and is SunDancer's brother and littermate. We have only had him for a few days, but I sense he might be our biggest challange! I thought Black Jack was high energy, but not like this little guy. He is...

This morning I brought my mini rex Black Jack to the vet to be neutered. I asked them to quickly look at a small lump I noticed longside his jaw line. Tech didn't seem too concerned. Well, on my way home I get this call from the vet saying they put a needle in that lump and a bunch of puss...
