(sorry this response is so long) It may just be your rabbits way of molting. Mine would shed like that a couple times a year. Wish I had known about the wet hand method of helping them shed, you dip your hand in water than rub their fur coat in the opposite direction of growth then rub your...

I just lost my rabbit to what they thought was cancer, and now my second rabbit also has high WBC count and will be starting antibiotics tomorrow. Neither one has been exposed to other rabbits but did recently add another grain to their diet for the first time in years. I was wondering if a...

I had another thought, do you have a 4H club around? Could be fun joining one with your bunny. Also if the pen idea doesn't work out, you could always try a bunny halter and leash.

If your pen is big enough, rabbits love to dig in boxes filled with crumpled paper, its kind of like a hamster wheel for rabbits. It gives them exercise and can relieve stress. Our female still uses boxes and will dig for hours hiding under the pile of balled up paper. Also they love...

It's never too late to have her bond with you, and it would be a fun rewarding challenge for you. I just lost one of my rabbits, but both even at the age of 9 never liked to be picked up. Just work on offering treats and try to rub behind her ears, they tend to love it over time. Is there a...

Thank you, she is definitely coming around, she explored the house yesterday and even took her favorite treats from us, she has stopped her chattering too. It has been a difficult few months, we lost our cat in November to cancer, she was 16. We lost our labradoodle in December to cancer...

We have 4 Buff Orpingtons and two Easter Eggers, and will hatch out a few more more this spring. They are sweet hearts!

How do you help a bonded rabbit deal with the loss of a long time partner? We lost our 9 year old male rabbit to cancer this morning. His mate who is also about 9 years old is a wreck, they have not been apart in over 7 years. She won't stop chattering and doesn't want us comforting her...

My bunnies loved the ball you can fill that spins on a wheel, but they have it destroyed in a week. What ever you use, just make sure your bunny can't get a foot trapped since they panic easily in that situation and you can end up with a broken leg. I use half inch square wife fencing over my...

For the first year I kept my bunny inside in a dog exercise pen with a rug, litter box, a cat pet bed and toys like apple wood to chew on. It got to the point we could leave it open and she had the run of the house. I had to get her spayed because when she came into heat she would become...

Oh no, I am checking out the links you attached and so far they are describing my rabbit. We just lost two pets to cancer. It's so unsettling. Both had large masses in their necks. I buy everything organic or at least all natural. It's so heartbreaking. At least I have something I can...

Thank you so much for responding and for sharing your story. So sorry for what your rabbit went through. Was there anything that could be done for him? I will take a look at the links and also bring this up to my vet. Thanks again!

Oh how sad! They are so good at hiding their symptoms until it's critical. I am so sorry.. :(

You could argue that her friends male rabbit could injury yours. They have fairly fragile skin, it wouldn't take but a bite to cause a nasty infection. The vet bill would not be worth the money you would get for the babies. I had to spay our female, as soon as she came into heat she...

I forgot to mention that we had our heat unusually high for a couple weeks while my elderly mother was here for the holiday. We normally keep our house cool which the rabbits love. They definately were not enjoying the higher temperatures between the baseboard heat and wood stove.. Could...

If you do think its GI stasis can you help her by gently massaging her belly toward her bottom end? Sometimes you can actually feel the droppings inside trapped from the gas. If you can get her to hop around it can sometimes help pass the gas. Yes the Simethicone is super helpful and works...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I hope someone might have advice to offer on skin conditions. My male rabbit (guessing he is about 9 yrs). started to lose clumps of fur two weeks ago, his third eyelids also started to show. The vet checked for mites and fungus, both negative. She found by...
