    Snuffle Question

    Can the snuffles happen in just one eye and nose? Reason why I ask I have a 4 year old 5lb dutch boy, eating and drinking fine. Poops are fine and he's running around like normal, but yesterday his eye started to drain clear. Today I noticed it's draining more w/some white stuff. I assumed he...

    Scatterless Lock-N-Litter Pan

    Does anyone have the smaller one? I was wondering what the height of the front is. I have the jumbos which I love, but my holland got hurt on it a while back so I took them out. I need something lower, because the cardboard litter pans we make are not working for him. He's peeing and just...

    Edible Flowers

    Every list I find says something different on flowers, but when they say for instance violets can give the leaves also? Does anyone have a real good list they go by? There are so many.

    Hollands Life Expectancy

    What is the life expectancy of a pet holland? I always thought it was 10 years, but a breeder told me 5-7 for a show rabbit. It made my heart sank, because wilbur is around 5 now.

    Keeping Feet Dry

    What is the best way to keep the feet dry? Wilbur hurt himself last week & his leg is getting much better, but he's peeing wherever he's at and he pretty much soaks himself. I can't bathe him every time he pees & his toes are getting raw from it now. Would covering them in vet wrap help?

    Holland & Hard Shed

    What kind of comb/brush do you guys recommend for a hard shed with hollands? I've been plucking, using a wet hand or rubber gloves, but it's just everywhere lol. I feel so bad for wilbur when he goes through this every year.

    Plantain ok?

    Is the wild plantain leaves ok to feed bunnies? I was just curious, because I dry them and use them in salves & soaps but was thinking if I could save some fresh for the buns. Nothing goes on our lawn so no chemicals or anything like that.

    Poopy butt with hollands

    Is this normal for hollands? Hubby thinks so, because the way their body is shaped he can't reach down there. I trim down there constantly and baths are the norm for him and nothing seems to help.

    What to do about new bun?

    I had a friend out of state that asked if I would take her mom's bun in, because she's allergic to it. I had a rescue (not rabbit rescue) pick him up for me, because she was going that way anyway. Well the rescue told me that he is sneezing and his nose is snotty. Which sounds like snuffles to...

    RIP My Oliver 4.30.09

    We lost Oliver last week suddenly and I'm just now getting back to normal somewhat. He was the first bunny we lost so it's been hard on us. I still think he's going to come out and start humping on his stuffed rabbit & raccoon or come out running around with a sock in his mouth lol. We only had...

    Oliver's Problems

    I just needed some info before I can get oliver into the vet. He's always had this eye leakage problem and he had his tear duct drained before, but lately he's been having more of this white gunk coming out of it with no smell. He has no other symptoms like nasal drainage either. Also he had...

    Allergic To Hay?

    Does this sound like my bun is allergic to his hay. He makes these sneezing type hacking noises, I'm not sure how to explain it my hubby tells me it sounds like a cat hacking up a hair ball. It seemed to happen more since I switched him to the oxbow timothy hay which he loves by the way. No...

    Another Diet Question Grasses

    We started growing wheat grass and found out one of our buns loves it. Can I give this to him and other fresh grasses instead of hay? I have yet to get him to eat hay, because he will not touch it.
