Hi all, I haven't been around since before October of last year Or maybe longer.. I was the proud mommy of a Netherland Dwarf Himi Marten blue named AJ I say was because he passed in November suddenly. I couldn't bury him til a few weeks ago because of the cold ground so he was in...

Lol. I just haven't been around. I know it's been since BEFORE October because I didn't post on here about going to North Carolina in October for the fishing tournament for the blind by the lions club. I would have shared that. Otherwise no clue But I'm doing ok. I think AJ digging...

My bun is funny I've done the filled TP tubes but he won't touch empty. The dig box I never thought of and might just be a hit. He digs up the paper off the bottom of the cage some nights so I know he's got digging in him lol. I'll try the phone book too (when I can get one since I...

Hi all I don't remember when the last time I posted was. For a refresher on information I own AJ a Netherland dwarf Himi Marten Blue Bun. He is still as full of mischief as when I got him. His favorite thing now is to wake me up a few hours before and all the way to a couple hours...

Hi all. First off it's been a LONG time since I've posted. Second what are some SAFE NATURAL TOYS for buns? AJ is not a stick muncher of the ones from the pet store. I did make him a treat ball from a toilet paper tube and put a hole in it and filled it with pellets so he had to...

My 3 year (now almost 4) bunny weighed I believe just under 2 pounds when I got him. He wasn't fed correctly though but he is up to 2 pounds 6 ounces. It's winter here and he is eats like a pig with modifications to his diet. I have heard that Alfafa hay is ok for young bunnies but not...

Preitler, Ok so he's fine. I worry cause the last home he had he was next to a drafty door all winter long in the house and food availability and water availability wasn't always guaranteed.. So I kinda worry more about him being comfy and happy. He's a little to food eager but it's...

Hi all. I've been offline for awhile but still around. AJ is doing great and is now between 2.3 and 2.5 pounds on average. He's full of spunk and full of tude and knows what he wants. :-) Question though. I am hot blooded and love cooler temps but I don't want to harm AJ. What...

Ravenous, He is actually pretty good with using the litter box. I have started using feline pine as of the first week of July sometime and until you dump the litter box you smell nothing. Unless he decides he wants to be a brat outside his cage. He peed on my pillow the other day so I am...

Schriss, Unfortunately all of that stuff in Jas cage would leave no room for AJ. I do appreciate and LOVE the suggestions though! When I get the chance to build his new hutch I will make sure to have the room for that just in case I have to leave him again.

I am still trying to get the images loaded to photobucket of AJ. I've mostly been hand stripping him so he has more thin and bald spots I am trying to get pics as the shed progresses. Warning. If you hand strip DO IT OUTSIDE because there will be a lot of fur. Or at least there has been with...

My hay storage is a plastic tote. Here in the Northeast US I have to worry about some humidity when no AC is on but the tote is opened at least once a day and it has holes under the handles. If more air is needed then more holes can be added I take 1st and 2nd cut timothy hay and orchard...

Skavatar. Your bun has the same markings as my AJ only AJ is a Netherland Dwarf. Are you brushing him/her to help get the extra fur off? AJ seems to appreciate it and just relaxes even when I am hand stripping him. Which sounds worse than it is. Pictures to come I promise. I will...

If someone had told me before I had AJ what being owned by a Bunny would cost and take I'd have thought twice about taking him. Now that I have him though I wouldn't trade him BUT this SHEDDING thing is for the birds! Or at least the fur will be lol AJ is officially going through his first...

Thank you ALL for the great advice! So far no more pees and only that one time bunny loving that took me off guard. I am going to use a wait and see approach on this as he is a VERY lovable and docile boy and I found that if something with his scent or both our scents are covering the...

Kat The size of AJ's cage will not accommodate 2 litterboxes. The bigger one for the few days will take up about a quarter of the cage and will be fine. (Not by choice and only for those days) his cage is 30 inches long and 20 inches front to back and same high. Being a Netherland Dwarf...

I had his cage open most of the day yesterday as I was home but he never came out. This morning though he's running around like someone put a rocket in him. And I think I got to see his version of a binky when going from cage to my bed or he scared himself. He jumped up but forward but all...

First the vet I have for AJ I love! I have called the office with questions in general about things and she personally calls back. The first time I went in with AJ she answered my TONS of questions and didn't seem annoyed with the amount and was very pleasant. When AJ had his Dental I...

Ok guys I was NOT planning on neutering AJ as he is or has been docile and generally gentle with me and others. I have noticed lately That while still generally gentle and docile he is becoming A LOT more pushy/demanding, he has taken to waking me up in the early hours of the morning 5-6...

I was not going to just leave the hay in the litter box but there was going to be a good bit of it. I am going to have to get AJ used to my friend who is gonna be the one to interact with him. I will "train" him to care for AJ. All vet info for BOTH furkid will be left here in case of...
