That’s why it’s so confusing . I have looked at picts … I’ve seen two different head shapes - one more narrow , one more squared….. though I see that shown in photos of both breeds ! (?) both seem to have really long ears …same body type and same coat ! ???

Is there a way to distinguish if a 12lb solid black rabbit is New Zealand or Flemish? Is one's fur slightly longer, or ones head slimmer/larger/smaller in proportion? There doesn't seem to be any good info online how they are different other than weight - which 12lb could be either. Too bad...

Our 4 year old (neutered) male started coming into our bedroom last year at night when we would go to bed & he would lay at the end , but come up for to us for visits and ended up peeing on the bed on two ocassions and we couldn't have that!!.. Likely marking and establishing this was a new...

I tried searching this but couldn't find anything that I trust. I have access to some burlap bags (from coffee beans) and wondering if that would make a good toy/bed whatever. I have read the fibers are too long for them to chew - but I also read it is made of jute and sisel. Has anyone...

Nothing like that. The ONLY thing that I can think of is one of my cats has decided that he likes the convenience of rabbits litter box , and doesn't smell like HIS lol). Its definitely not a regular occurrence, since I caught him pee in it several months ago - I added a petsafe invisible...

Thank you JBun for your input on this. Its SO nice to run things by this forum with people that take it serious and are knowledgeable people such as yourself. No, nothing like that. Yeah, I know - it's weird. Kind of why I was wondering if anyone had ever run across it. I have fostered...

So to follow up a little.... the ears are definitely getting less irritated looking, the area is reducing, and the crust is beginning to peel off a little.... I included another pict. I did make an appt at the vet, but they can't get me in for 10 days - so I will see what it looks like in...

Okay....I will definitely make an appt. I just thought I would see something "IN" the ear if it were ear mites. So to clarify, It won't always show up on the inside? (more towards the ear canal?)

My lop has an area of "irritation" ? in both his ears. The inside of his ears are otherwise clean, this is well outside his ear canal, just on the skin side on both of his ears - strictly in those similar areas on both ears. Did he maybe just over groom? I have included pictures. It...

I am definitely going to watch this post to see what others say …. but in my past experience with introducing buns for bonding ( and I know these have already spent time near each other as well ) …. But I feel as long as Phoenix doesn’t turn on Arizona when she digs him like that …and she then...

As an active foster, many surrenders come to us already pregnant, or as a very young litter. We have limited space for fostering, so its of course helpful to keep litters together as long as we can. Having confirmed they are same sex , and there is no fighting going on, is there a certain age...

Shes a cutie. Thank you for giving her a home!! If you are not a prior rabbit owner, make sure you read up on her care. If you are interested in what breed she may belong to....maybe post her weight and a description of her fur.... that will help with suggestions.

I would love to find a BOOK or a WEBSITE that is REALLY GOOD for help identifying rabbit breeds. I am aware of the ARBA book, but I actually find that not as user friendly for someone trying to IDENTIFY breeds (or "primary" breed if the case). The ARBA book is great for describing the...

I will be working at adding a lady friend for my neutered guy. I posted earlier about age matches, but I am not going to worry about the ages. I have researched and given a lot of advise on "dating" & such, but not really sure what to do in my setup. My male if a full house bun day & night...

Thanks. Yeah, it seemed cruel to separate the babies from each other that young (since they also aren't with mom any longer) Just worried they would become too bonded to each other to start. And yeah, agreed, always recheck sex - though I am pretty certain. (famous last words.....)

I am fostering two female siblings (just 10 wks old now). They are weaned eating hay & pellets - and actually have already had a wide assortment of greens as well. (I KNOW - too early for greens...but person giving them up fed them all kinds of greens) They have done fine with them - no...

Thank you. I guess I just needed to be talked off the ledge.... Its so nice to have someone to bounce things off. Thank you for reading my wordy posts and replying. I give a lot of advise myself to adopters and this of course makes sense. Bonding is such an UNEXACT science! I want to give...

I am interested what others think of my scenario. I have pretty much always recommended keeping ages very close, but for ME it hasn't worked well. I have fostered Dozens of rabbits -Most of the mature rabbits we get, we get in pairs (or else we get litters surrendered.) so we have LOTS of...

I thought about that. Also worth a try . Thank you !!

Worth a try . Maybe I will wear gloves , this could backfire lol . Thanks …. even with quite a bit of experience ….I always appreciate new ideas . Buns are all so different !!
