    Genes and blue eyes?

    Okay, I knew about BEW buns which I assumed are some type of leucism? And I've been seeing a lot of "VM" buns recently with blue eyes but some don't have blue eyes and some with blue eyes also have other coat colors like black otter, etc. So what is VM, anyway? I couldn't find a definition and I...

    Best guess bonding dynamics in this situation?

    Okay, I'm going to start by saying I've read a ton on various outlines for bonding and feel I have a decent grasp of how to do it. I've gotten opposing advice from articles on this particular type of pairing, so wanted advice for the so far known personalities of my actual current buns. I have...

    Dumb question probably. Mini Rex/Netherland

    Not sure this is the right place to ask but it probably involves breed standards...so. I know that Mini Rexes were created by breeding standard rexes to Netherland dwarfs but the ideal seems to be to keep the original Rex appearance, just in a smaller package? I've seen some Mini's that seem to...

    Elemental Exotics ~ The goings on at the Zoo.

    Decided I should start a blog here and keep everything in one place. Background: Decided this year to get a rabbit, originally planning on a baby from a breeder friend early next year. But decided to check out the semi local rabbit rescue said friend also recommended and they have a great foster...

    What breed is this and what would the color be called?

    I'm new to rabbits and slowly learning breeds and coat colors. Can you tell me what this guy might be and how you arrived at that guess? I know a lot of the nuance is just experience and can be harder to describe. Thanks!

    Three new fosters.

    Super sweet so far but hopefully I won't have them for long and they'll get great homes! The rescue had had to pull their rabbits out of the local Petsmart because they didn't have anyone to foster them, rotate them out and give them a break from being in the store, which isn't an ideal...

    Waterproof flooring?

    What are some waterproof "flooring" options everyone likes? Unfortunately my female bunny is not super good with the litter box, particularly poop and more irritatingly, sometimes pee. So I'd like to put down something water proof for the floor of their pen. I tried a vinyl table cloth first but...

    Willow and Pippen bonding progress/questions

    Background: I am fostering to adopt Pippen, a 5 month old fixed male Hotot. I adopted Willow, a 7 month old fixed female lionhead and hoping they will bond. I received them both within the past week and within a few days of each other. Because I got them so close together, I figured there was...

    Just picked up my first foster!

    Introducing Aspen. She is a 1 year old lionhead mix from a hoarding situation. She was very skittish around humans but has been warming up greatly for the rescue, so they wanted her in a foster home now to get more human attention and used to a household. Sorry, the pictures are crummy.

    Advice from those experienced in making DIY enclosures?

    So, the area I'm thinking of making a bunny's has room for a hutch, which I'll need to secure the rabbit in because of my other animals, at least until I know how everyone gets along. There is room for a pen/run around the cage that it will have access to at least part of the day. Because a fair...

    Best temperatures for rabbits?

    Haven't really seen this addressed, what is a good/best range of temps for a rabbit, particularly indoors? I'm trying to decide between keeping a rabbit upstairs but that potential area has less space. It maintains temps between 78 degrees F during the day in summer to 68 degrees in winter and...

    Wood enclosures and chewing?

    Looking into various enclosures and so far I'm liking the style and sizing options of the wood hutches/coops that are commercially available better than any of the pure wire or plastic enclosures out there. But I'm worried about chewing, is that often a problem with wood enclosures? Are there...

    Hello! New here with lots of annoying newbie questions

    I've been kicking around the idea of getting a rabbit (or two) for a year or two now and have pretty much decided to go for it and reward myself with a new furry critter companion for my next birthday (beginning of next year) and so now is time to dig into all the care questions to be sure I'm...
