Every afternoon, when I clean my babies' enclosures, I've noticed that they aren't eating much of their hay. Their pellets always get eaten, and their fresh salads, and of course treats always disappear, but a lot of hay gets wasted. I clean every day because they haven't quite made the...

Had extra laundry to do this week, so bunny laundry didn't get to hit the washer until ALL pee pads were used up. Washable pee pads are great in terms of saving money, but when they marinate until they can get to the washer, they are a bit overwhelming. Overpowering. Ripe. Eye-watering. I've...

I have a Holland lop who is 16 weeks old now. He's a healthy, happy baby, but I am concerned about one thing: he rarely, if ever, eats his cecotrophes. Is this something I should be worried about, as he is otherwise perfectly healthy? And if so, what can I do about it? I feed Kaytee 1st cut...

Help!!!!! We have a litter as of today. This was  not intentional. I've been keeping them separated, for the last two months, but apparently at some point Loki got through to Bragi and the deed was done. As I said, not intentional. The plan has always been having my three fixed, but there are...

When I got Loki and Bragi, I was told they are Holland lops, but their faces are longer, not flat. Týr came from a different breeder, also supposed to be Holland lop, but he more fits the description, so I'm wondering now if my first two are mixes?

Ok, let me start with please don't judge, we are doing the best we can. I live in an area where there are no bunny vets for miles in any direction, and both our vehicles have broken down. We have a baby that has walking dandruff. He does not have interaction with my other two, but I've been...

For those who use hutches: we just got this one and put it together yesterday. The buns and I love it, but though I've put their water bottle on the mesh, I don't feel like it's really meant to go there. The mesh isn't stiff enough, really, for even the small bottle I'm using. I'm wondering if I...

Ok, so, I got my degree in veterinary technology, but what that means is that not much time was spent on exotics. I know how to figure out the best foods for dogs and cats, how to read the ingredient list and what it should contain in what order, but I don't know how to do the same for rabbit...

These two siblings are Holland lops Loki and Bragi. They're 11 weeks old, and will be getting gendered in two weeks. For now, though, Loki "feels" like a girl, and Bragi like a boy, so that's what I'm rolling with for now. Loki came home with us two weeks ago, and settled in so quickly that we...

Help! I got my first Holland lop two weeks ago. When we went to get a bunny, the owner opened the hutch and 13 baby bunnies ran to hide. The fourteenth stood her ground. She was curious and friendly and wanted to know what was going on. She rode home happily parked on my shoulder. She runs...

Does anyone else have dogs and rabbits? How do they get along? We have four dogs, three of whom are pretty old now. Thor is a woolly-coated Siberian Husky, who's 11. Bandit is a Labrador mix, and she's 12. Mac is a shepherd mix and he's 8. Vanir is an Alaskan Malamute, and he'll be 2 tomorrow...

As I've mentioned, I'm new to bunny ownership, so I have lots of questions. 1. What does "binky" mean? 2. Does it mean anything when a rabbit licks you? I know what it means when it's a dog, or even a cat, but recently, Cynnamon has taken to licking me wherever she happens to be: legs...

It's happened. I couldn't help myself. We are soon to become a family of twelve: four people, four dogs...and four rabbits. I've been hunting high and low for a pair of Netherland Dwarf rabbits, and finally ran across a lady whose female is due to have a litter this week. She says it's the last...

How do all of you keep your cages neat and clean? Every morning I remove the hide-hole and food and water bowls, dump the bedding and litter into the garbage, clean the cage with Clorox, then wash the hide-hole and food bowls and litter box. After that, everything goes back in the cage neatly...

So the other day, I'm lying on the floor with the buns, and for once the house was absolutely quiet (kids were at school). As Snooki is zipping around me, I notice this noise coming from her and it's only when she's running. It's a very low sound, almost below hearing level. It sounds like...

I've been trying to let the bunnies set the tone, letting them come to me, as opposed to my partner, who just picks them up and cuddles them. Annoyingly, that seems to be working for him, whereas they barely come to me at all. Well, the gray one does--he has renamed her Snookums, which makes me...

Our little gray girl, who came from school, has occasional fits of sneezing. I had the vet at school examine her, but she didn't find anything wrong. There's no nasal or eye discharge, her lungs sound normal, everything looks good. So should I be concerned, or just not worry about it?

As a vet tech student, I just finished the lab animal portion of my studies, and I just realized that at no point were vaccines for rabbits mentioned, nor did we do anything in class with the rabbits other than learn to sex them, restrain them, and draw a tiny bit of blood from them. Are there...

I'm very new to owning bunnies, as in my first has only been ours full-time for a week. She's an unspayed female of unknown origin, the bunny in my profile pic. Today, I adopted another unspayed female, the one in my avatar. All I know about her is that she's three months old and likely to be a...

I'm Stacy, new to both the forum and to owning rabbits. I've had dogs for years. Two of them are Arctic dogs (a malamute and a husky), the other two are a Lab mix and a Shepherd mix, and I have been leery of having rabbits in the same house, but I'm studying to be a vet tech, and during the lab...
