I've always adopted adult or young adult rabbits, but now I have a 6 week old Flemish baby. I want to make sure he gets a good start in life. First of all, do baby rabbits require any vaccinations? If so, which ones and at what age(s)? Secondly, do they need to be wormed? If yes, is a...

Recently I adopted Rupert, a young Giant Chinchilla. He's almost 12 weeks old now. He's been with me for 3 weeks. I was looking for a friendly house rabbit and was told the Giant Chin is a very affectionate breed. Rupert is afraid of me and very skittish. He isn't neutered yet. I keep him in...

My little Rupert has discovered a new habit. He's 10 weeks old and lives in my hallway which I've converted to a pen with a tarp on the floor/walls and baby gates. I pass through the hallway whenever I have to get to the bathroom and bedroom. He's been shy and reluctant to let me touch him...

I just picked up my Giant Chinchilla Rupert last night. The breeder tattooed his ear yesterday. First thing I noticed when he came out of the travel crate was his bright green hind foot! It's a safe bet that he struggled when he was being tattooed. I just want to double check to make sure the...

Tonight I picked up Rupert, my new baby Giant Chinchilla. The breeder gave me a supply of his pellets. She also gave me a smaller bag of red pellets that look exactly like ordinary pellets, except they smell strongly of licorice. She told me to sprinkle a few of the red pellets on top of his...

For people who live outside North America or those who aren't familiar with Bob's Burgers, it's a cartoon sitcom somewhat like the Simpsons. One of the kids in the family always wears a bright pink bunny ear hat. Now you can have one of your very own! http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/jgos/

So here's the situation. I have three rabbits. Zelda and Stewart are both neutered and are a bonded pair. They live in the living room, in a big CC castle with attached pen. Recently I adopted Saoirse, 5 month old unspayed female Flemish Giant. Right now she's in my closed bedroom in a large...

(Saoirse = "sore-sha" or "seer-sha") It's an Irish name which means "freedom". Cast of Characters: Saoirse the Flemish Giant doe Stewart, neutered Netherland Dwarf His bonded partner, Zelda the spayed Dwarf/Lionhead or Angora mix "Bit players" (there's a good chance they will be in...

Stewart came to me a year ago when his former owner went to college and no longer had time to care for him. (I do wish people who plan to go to post secondary school would refrain from adopting pets!) I was looking for a bonding partner for Zelda and thought he'd be perfect because he's...

Saoirse is a Flemish Giant doe I just adopted. She's four months old (Sept '16) and my first giant breed rabbit. She's very friendly and sweet natured and loves to have her nose rubbed and to binky in circles in her pen. I love her huge black tipped ears and her colour - she looks like a deer!

I have a Flemish bunny who lives in a big pen due to her size. The pen sits on a large heavy duty tarp that's folded in half. The floor underneath is hardwood. I'm a bit concerned that she may develop sore hocks from living on a hard floor. Do I need to worry or will she be OK on two layers...

My new four month old Flemish girl came to live with me a few days ago. Right now I've built a big pen for her in my room, as I have two neutered, bonded smaller bunnies in the living room and NewBun isn't neutered yet. (I'm still thinking of a name for her) I keep my room closed at all times to...

This evening while browsing the animal want ads, I came across an ad selling two week old baby rabbits, right now. He was even offering to throw in a cage for anyone who bought more than one. They look like Netherlands crossed with Angora or Lionhead. I'm pretty sure that two weeks is way...

For weeks I've been looking to add a big, free range bunny to my "herd". I already have two small rabbits, a dwarf/Angora mix doe and a Netherland Dwarf buck. Both are neutered and bonded. I adopted the little ones with the hope that they could live free range. My little ones decided...

Today I found an ad on Kijiji advertising farm fresh bales of hay, home delivered.I placed an order for a bale of Timothy on their website. To my surprise I got a call 2 hours later - the delivery guy was in my area and had a spare bale on the truck, would I like it? He brought it to my door, in...

I'm on my quest for a giant bunny and I'm looking at available breeds. I found a breeder who breeds Flemish Giants and English Lops. They have a couple of adult Giants available (not altered) and a litter of English Lops born a few days ago. The prices are almost the same for both breeds...

I use organic Apple Cider Vinegar containing the "mother" (probiotic bacteria used to ferment the ACV) mixed with water for some of my pets. I mix four tablespoons of it per gallon of dechlorinated water. I use it for my parrotlet, my canary, my quails, and my rats. I've found it helps coats and...

Right now I'm looking to buy a giant breed rabbit whom I plan to neuter. I've found a number of available rabbits, some are babies (8 weeks and up) and some are young adults. None of the ones I've found so far are neutered, though I'm keeping an eye on the shelters. So which is better to...

"I like big bunns and I cannot lie..." :bunnybutt: When I went to the shelter to adopt my Zelda, they had New Zealand bunnies and I fell in love with their size. In Kindergarten we had a huge rabbit and I was the only kid in the class who wasn't afraid of it. As a teen I used to babysit for a...

I recently adopted a little Netherland dwarf, neutered male. He seems in good health and bonded nicely with my black bunny, Princess Zelda. He eats pellets and hay with no problems, but he flatly refuses any greens. I've tried everything from romaine, to collards, to endive, to yu choy. He just...
