Hi, I have had my first rabbit about six months now. I haven't had it desexed only because I live in a country town where the one and only vet isn't very clued up about rabbits, he said. Anyway, my little rabbit, Podge, lives indoors and is very spoilt but I think he's lonely, too. I'm just...

Mine gets a small amount of pellets each morning and then an equal amount of Timothy Hay and Oaten Hay. Then around lunchtime, he has a little pile of greens and I alternate the small amount of apples/carrot, that type of thing, every other day but only in small amounts. Then he has another...

Oh, the poor little thing. Why don't you persevere a bit longer with her. I've had my first bunny now for about five months. I knew zero about how to care for them. I'm a dog/cat person and adopting a rabbit was the last thing on my mind until I saw this little thing on a market stall all by...

Just on your animals, I am new to keeping a rabbit, too. I've only had Rodger about four weeks now and still learning but I have a dog and three cats. Rodger is a house rabbit and when my dog/cats met him, they were very curious and watched him for hours, dog barked a few times which I...

I am new to rabbits. I have had my little mini lop rabbit, 4 months old, for about a month now. I find him very high maintenance but I am still learning as he is, too. He is going to be a house rabbit. I have improvised with a parrot cage, big one, for the time being but I now see it will...

I hope so, too!

Hermelin, cleaned out the cage yesterday after reading all the fantastic advice and your idea of keeping the cage floor clear has really worked out well. I've now got the litter tray heaped up and my two hays there in a little pile for eating and the rest of the floor clear and I noticed that...

"USB cables are their favourite." Haha Duly noted! Yes, noticed the ladders in some ads for bunny cages and thought the same. How on earth would they hop up there??

Yes, I have a pen on my to-buy list. I think it's a great idea. thanks, Blue Eyes.

Great info about cats and bunnies. I made a really bad mistake, I now realise, when Roger and my cat met each other for first time. Roger reached out to touch noses with the cat and the cat responded but me, in my stupid ignorance, shoved the cat away quickly, thinking he was going to harm...

All this really interesting and informative. I think I have to start looking for an appropriate new cage and also a pen seems like a good idea. That would save me having to chase him around the room all the time. The idea of having a cage on the floor now seems more suitable. My idea of...

Hi Blue Eyes - With your converted desk/cage (picture shows door wide open) doesnt your bunny nibble at your furniture? I have been warned about this but to make the furniture bunny proof seems almost impossible. Especially with tv cords, computer cords, etc etc.

Thanks for this. Okay, so keep the litter box contents for a week, just adding hay each day - will do. You mention neutering. I have been reading up on rabbits since I got Roger and many people say definitely get them neutered as some of them can become quite aggressive. The thing is I live...

Hi Hermelin - lots in your post to pay attention to - thank you. I wish I could get down to my bunny's level and play with him - I had an injury to my knee which stops me putting any weight on it so can't do things anymore such as getting down on the ground. Can't get back up again! However...

Hi again, Hermelin, (just getting used to this website) - yes, I have read that cats, especially, can become friends with rabbits but it will be quite a while before I trust them all together. My cats now take Roger for granted. They hardly notice him! Dog ditto! But opening that cage door...

Hi there, thanks so much for replying! This is my old parrot cage which I am using for Roger (my bunny). This was taken before I bought all the hay and pellets and stuff so it looks empty but you get the idea. It has a slightly smaller cardboard box in there now, which he loves. Roger can...

I have adopted a four months old Mini lop rabbit. I know nothing about them except that they are very sweet. I have a dog and three cats at home and to be honest I now feel I should never have adopted Roger because he may need to be confined to a cage and I am increasingly feeling terribly...
