Hello all, We took in a neutered buck and spayed doe a week ago, both Netherland Dwarfs, who are bonded. I was told they are almost a year old and have been together all along, and they were neutered and spayed in August last year. We have other rabbits in the house, but they are separated...

Hi all, We have a 6 year old neutered buck, Hayden, who just had a check-up at the vet. The vet said Hayden is developing a bit of arthritis. We haven't noticed an issue - he is eating pellets, hay, and greens as normal, pooping as normal, and doesn't seem to be limping or anything like that...

I had to be away for a week due to a death in the family and didn't leave clear enough instructions because the bunnies were fed too much vegetables when I was gone, and Cinder might have also twisted her stomach. We did x rays and gave her simethicone, metacam, metoclopramide, cisapride, IV...

I have 4 indoor rabbits and I find they do not like to be picked up, but I feel I should be brushing them regularly to help prevent GI stasis. How do we work with them to get them more amenable to being handled? I would be happy to leave them be except I worry about their health.

Hello all, Are shavings/bedding needed in the rabbit cage? I have two bunnies - one loves to burrow in her bedding and often rearranges it. The other may have been eating some of his bedding so we placed a towel in the bottom of the cage instead. Is the towel on the floor enough for a rabbit? I...

Hello all, As I mentioned in another thread, our bunny Hayden we adopted a couple weeks ago very quickly developed cecal dysbiosis and GI stasis. He seems to have pulled through (is eating now - not as much hay as I'd like but still eating regularly). When we adopted Hayden the previous owner...

Hi all, I know a water bowl is better for bunnies than a bottle, but my rabbit Cinder keeps knocking her bowl or throwing it over, dumping the water all over. I tried a bowl that sits in a hanger that attaches to a cage, but she just pulls it out and dumps it too. She likes dumping and throwing...

Thanks for allowing me to join the forum. I adopted a spayed female Holland lop a few weeks ago and she has been healthy and happy, eating like a champ, and within a few days was comfortable with us around. She doesn't like to be held or petted much but will give nose boops, do binkies, eat from...
