One of the feral domestic babies was killed today. One of the dogs got it and accidentally broke its back trying to play with it, so I ended up having to put it out of its misery. It's a shame, but that's life I suppose.

Hello all, my sister seems to be coming down with Mononucleosis. While I know that the vast majority of human viruses and diseases can't be transmitted to animals, I was wondering if anyone has a list of exactly which ones are, but if you don't, can you at least tell me if Mono is one?

Does know of any rabbit rescues in or near the Spokane area that will come trap feral domestic rabbits? Someone released 3 adults last fall and they've been breeding and surviving through the winter. In fact, Newton and Emily are most definitely from this feral colony. There are at least 7...

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on easily cleaned flooring that rabbits either won't chew on or is safe to be chewed on. Newton is unfixed (currently in the process of saving the exorbitant amount of money it costs) and as such occasionally pees outside the litterbox. I...

Newton badly needs his rear nails trimmed. He'll hold still enough for me to cut his front but he panics and hides when I put the clippers anywhere near his back feet. I can't use the blanket technique that's been suggested because he thinks it's a game when I cover him with a towel and when I...

Last night around 4am Newton broke one of the toenails on his right front foot. I don't know how exactly, as I only noticed it after noticing drops of blood on his bedding. It's clearly broken near the base and is hanging loosely (or so it appears; I'm afraid to mess with it at the moment). The...

What do you guys and gals (or anything else, if that's relevant to you) give your furballs to chew on and play with? Newton won't take to anything not made of rice or corn husks and he can tear through a whole package of those in a day if I let him. I've tried wood chews, pumice chews, rope...

I'm currently caring for 2 young unaltered male bunnies. They get along well and never fight, will share a litter box, food, nest box etc., but the bigger of the two (Newton) has started in the last couple days marking their X-Pen with his chin and I've been wondering when the time to separate...

I posted about this a couple weeks ago ( http://www.rabbitsonline.net/showthread.php?t=85022 ) and there has been no change since. The people I live with are giving me a week now to take him from 0 to 100% or I have to get rid of him and I'm at a loss. Any advice that hasn't already been given...

I've never had a rabbit before and I know they need their nails trimmed if they have nothing to dig in. Mine really likes to dig so I was going to look into getting something, but until then I'm stuck trimming his/her nails on my own and its starting to get painful when he/she runs across me or...

I've had my little guy for a couple of weeks now and he's settling in very well, except for an utter refusal to use his litter box. It's a corner box with soft recycled paper litter and always has fresh hay inside. He'll go in to eat hay but leaves the box to leave droppings all over the space I...

I recently took in a stray bunny that wandered into my home (story available in introductions) and I've been as careful as possible in my acclimation for it. I've been having some issues with litter training (chalked up to simply being a very young rabbit) and just a few minutes ago it urinated...

Hey everyone, I've never had a rabbit before (you can see my post in introductions) and I've never heard of rabbits licking from any of my friends who have owned them. I've read that rabbits lick mainly for one of two reasons: They like the salt in your skin, or its a grooming behavior. This...

Until the last few days, I never really thought of rabbits as good pets. I've had friends who had rabbits for pets and they never really had an appeal to me; looked like more hassle than they were worth. Then a few days ago, this guy found his way into my life (literally): I'm not sure...
