I noticed on at least more than one breeder's website that they have a rule that if you buy a show rabbit from them you have to keep the name from the original rabbitry. I also read that if you buy a pet rabbit you are not allowed to breed them. Out of pure interest (since I am not a breeder...

I have been searching for a new rabbit since my other one died. I have come across a lot of rabbit breeders and rabbit showing culture and it struck me how different it was to what I had read on the internet. I wasn't able to figure out why, but then I came across this breeder's website where...

Hi all ! It's been awhile since I've been on these forums. I am considering adopting a rabbit again, but I am allergic to Timothy grass hay. I fed my last rabbit orchard grass hay but he seemed not very interested in hay-- I'm not sure if it's because I fed him alfalfa as a baby and it was...

I'm not sure when exactly this started. Last week Bunster managed to jump out of his 3ft or so pen a few times. We don't know how he escaped, since the pen has a top, we thought it's possible he slipped through the cracks since the top is not completely sealed. There was a box near the front...

I'm basically having this problem.. https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/cecotrope-smearing-everywhere.62675/ Been this way for maybe a year now... probably started when we started introducing veggies. Initially I thought maybe it was pee but I am 99% sure it's cecotrope smearing. We already...

how risky is a neuter procedure? there's a vet here who can do it, she says she's done a lot of rabbits before but that there's always a risk. exactly how risky is it? are there stats anywhere on how many die from this kind of procedure?

I'm having problem with what look like poop stains outside of Bunster's litterbox, both on the other side of her nic cube area and also in her x-pen. It seems like it could be that she's putting cecotropes there and eating them from the ground but I'm not sure why it happens, it only happens...

Has anyone ever used their bunny's litterbox contents for composting? it occured to me that the ingredients (wood, poop, pee) could be fine .. the tricky part seems to be getting the ratio of carbon to nitrogen right. I'm wanting to get into composting and living a more eco-friendly lifestyle...

How much would you allow a day? Sometimes I have carrot scraps from peeling them and would like to feed them to Bunster rather than wasting it but I know carrots are high in sugar so I wonder how much is okay to give?

Bunster is about 6 months old now. Do I have to switch her from alfalfa to timothy pellets? Unfortunately I bought a huge bag of alfalfa pellets and I'd like to keep using them if it's okay. I think Bunster is starting to get a bit overweight though, so I will at least decrease the amount of...

Something's wrong.. Bunster neve rthumps but last night I was woken up to her thumping. I saw the light in the living room was on so I turned it off. It seemed to stop the thumping. But this morning I saw her in her pen and she didn't come out to greet me which was strange. Instead she...

I've started introducing veggies to Bunster. Dunno if he's just a picky little bun or what, but he has rejected most of what I have offered him, including butter lettuce mixed leaf lettuce strawberry tops cucumber But he really likes peppermint. Normal behavior or not? I thought all...

I am hoping to take Bunster in the upcoming months to get fixed. However the most cost-effective and rabbit-experienced vets are hours away. My friend wants to take her bun to go to one about four hours away and I am considering going as well. There is another one that is 2.5 hours away, but...

Ever since we allowed Bunster to only have access to the X-Pen, we rarely see binkies. When he was a baby and we didn't have the x-pen yet and were still letting him out to run around the den supervised for a short period of time in case of accidents, he would binky a lot! :/ Is it the lack...

Bunster is great at using his litter box for pee. Is it possible to train him to also keep his poops contained there? He poops anywhere in his cage and will also poop in the pen a little if he is left there for awhile. I generally sweep it up at least once a day...

I noticed a little bit of dandruff on the outside of Bunster's ear, the area closest to where the ear attaches to the head. Is this a cause for concern?

We have Bunster in our den, which is probably the worst place in terms of air circulation, it tends to also be the place where food smells congregate. And now it smells like Bunbun's .. litter and food. The pellets seem to have a fishy smell. The litter smells like poop and pee. Anyone have...

Anyone know if citronella oil safe to use around a bunny's housing area or on surfaces that a bunny might touch? I saw some old threads on this but I'm reading mixed things, wonder if anyone has a definitive answer. Just bought a bug spray and that is the main ingredient.

Bunster is getting to the age where he's starting to .. err.. destroy things. I had put some cardboard pieces and tubes in his pen before, and they were relatively untouched until yesterday! This morning I woke up to find cardboard pieces on the pen floor. He also kept digging and digging in...

Bunster lets me pick him up sometimes, but usually not for long and then he starts kicking and struggling and breaks free. My neighbor's kid has a mini lop about the same age as Bunster I think, and she carries it around outside. I would never think of doing that with Bunster but when I heard...
