Here's a picture of them getting along, maybe, five minutes before they started fighting. T_T

To make a long story short, a person I've known for a couple of years asked me to take care of her rabbit, Benny, because she can't take him with her when she goes home. Things haven't been going well, though. My rabbit, Astro, is not used to being caged, and I've been keeping Benny in an...

Thanks. He is a cutie patootie, isn't he? 😋 I've been letting him out of the x-pen more and more, and he seems happy about having some of his freedom back.

I was told by someone that he looks like a Polish breed, maybe...? Thank you. ☺️

I'm sorry! I didn't see your replies! I've been using paper bedding, still, but I might have to finally switch to wood pellets, because of the cost. Thank you for the pictures, and the ideas!

Astro is doing well! :)

Thank you, everyone. ☺️ It's not back to normal, but he's gradually pooping more and more, and he's drinking more water, too. He seems to be recovering well!

He's FINALLY starting to poop. It's not much, but it looks normal, and it's SOMETHING, at least. 😁

It's been more than ten hours, at least, since the surgery itself. I'm really worried. I had hoped that he would poop while I was asleep. In the last ten minutes that I've been awake, though, I've seen him hop into the litterbox three times, looking like he's trying to poop. From what I can see...

Astro was neutered today, and he seems to be fine. He was fairly active when I brought him home, and he's been sleeping since. He eats whatever I put in front of him, and he's been drinking, too, but he STILL hasn't pooped. Twice now, I've seen him hop into the litterbox, and it looks like he's...

I think I'm going to switch to the pellets. Thanks! :)

So, I've been using paper bedding for Astro's toilet, and it only costs about $6 for two or so weeks worth, if used as sparingly as possible. The problem, though, is that he likes to dig in it, and if I don't put in enough bedding, he ends up urinating on on the bottom of the toilet, and it's...

Astro has decided that my bed is the perfect bathroom, and is determined to convince me that what I'm sleeping on is not a bed, but his toilet. He especially likes my blankets, and I can't leave them anywhere, or he'll mark them, even when I'm under them! He hasn't been neutered, yet, and while...

If you've read from multiple sources that's okay, then it should be okay! I still have a lot more to learn about rabbits. >.< I hope that everything is going okay with the little guy!

Thank you, everyone, for your advice! &#128522; There are two animal clinics in my area that have worked with rabbits, at least, but they only have a little bit of experience with them, and I'm such a nervous Nellie. &#128534;

I'm sorry, I can't be of any help. I'd want to restrain him from scratching himself, maybe by loosely wrapping a towel around his body. But, then, I'd probably think twice about it. The best you can do for him might be to take him to his appointment, even though you'll have to wait a week. Also...

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on how to trim a fidgety rabbit's claws? There aren't any rabbit-experienced veterinarians in my area, and even though I have a pair of small animal clippers, I'm not sure if I could safely trim Astro's claws on my own. He's not used to me...

It might be skin mites...? My friend's lop had similar problems, and it turned out to be mites.

Thank you, everyone, for your feedback!!!

Three times now Astro has had difficulties with what I've been assuming is a blockage of some sort, and each time I've given him a little bit of pineapple juice. Within a few minutes, his pooping returned to normal, and he started eating his hay again. I'm currently trying to switch him to a...
