    Two beautiful buns may need a new home

    As sad as this is, I may have to find a new home for my two rabbits. As much as I want to keep them, I've just become too busy to give them the attention they deserve and I don't think it's fair to neglect them. They deserve better then that. Reeses (female) and Roxy (male) were recently...

    Alternative to hay?

    For someone that is allergic to regular timothy hay, is there any other alternative to feed? I read in the Food Q&A that hay cubes aren't a great alternative due to having sweeteners in them. However, I discovered Oxbow Hay Cakes...

    Need help bonding my rabbits

    I am having trouble bounding my two rabbits, male and female and both fixed. Normally, they were separated from each other completely, but the past few months they have been living in the same room, but across from each other in separate pens. However, I am moving into a smaller apartment next...

    Suggest me a few toys!

    Both of my buns are picky when it comes to toys. I've tried several things and nothing seems to gain their attention. Any new ideas for "sure to keep them busy" toys?

    Is my rabbit just tired or depressed?

    Reeses seems to be very lazy lately. Most of the day she is just laying around, sleeping, or eating. She doesn't seem as active as she use to. She was spayed a few months ago, perhaps her estrogen level has finally peaked down? Sometimes, she just seems so sad, but I really can't tell if she is...

    How to prevent desk hopping!

    I seem to be developing a big problem with my bun. I just moved into my new place with her. She's been getting use to her new surroundings pretty well, however, she has been jumping up on high places such as my computer desk, chewing at wires, remotes, and other things that are simply dangerous...

    Behvaior changed after spay surgery

    My Reeses was spayed last Friday and came home Saturday. She is recovering great, seems very relaxed, eats, doesn't appear to be in any pain. However, she doesn't seem as affectionate towards me as she use to. She use to always hound me to be petted and held. Now she doesn't seem to bother me...

    Reeses is getting spayed Friday!

    Finally decided to go ahead and get Reeses spayed. I took her for a wellness exam to Dr. Jennifer Saver in Long Island two weeks ago. She specializes in rabbits and comes highly recommended. I can't shake the tad bit of nervousness though! The vet told me Reeses may have to stay overnight if...

    Rabbits and dogs

    My girlfriend just bought a puppy Daschund. He is very cute, but Daschunds are very much alpha dogs who try to control the pact and are very nippy. They were actually bred to hunt and fight wheesels. I have no intention of bringing her around my rabbits at all. I am curious though if dogs and...

    Constant grooming and pulling of fur

    Reeses has been grooming and licking her self very frequently lately. Also her fur can be easily pulled out around the neck and gential area. She doesn't pull it out on purpose but I am afraid she'll get a hairball from licking the loose hair so much. Anyone have any ideas why she is doing...

    My vet said I shouldn't spay my rabbit

    I took Reeses to the vet because I think she is going through a fake pregnency. After he exaimed her he told me that he doesn't like spaying rabbits because they have to be put under anastesia(spelling?) and be cut open, and he just doesn't think it's necessary enough to put her through all...

    Ripping fur off?

    Reeses has been ripping the fur off her dew lap lately, a lot of it too. Is this normal? She isn't shedding. I'm worried that she's going to get a furball.

    My bunny is a poop machine!

    My Reeses has been so good about only going to the bathroom in her litter box. But lately she keeps leaving poops all over the place, usually where I go, and likes to eat a lot of them! It's extremely annoying having to keep picking them up. Why is she doing this all of a sudden? And more...

    My litter training adventure

    Well I've decided to properly litter train Reeses. He's never gone to the bathroom anywhere outside of his cage(except for the occasional times when he'd jump on the couch and feel the need to mark). I usually just filled his cage with carefree bedding and he'd always go to the bathroom in his...

    Any spill proof bowls?

    I did a search but couldn't find anything, I would of thought this would of been brought up before. How can I get Reeses to not spill his food all over his cage? At first I was feeding him with just a plain old bowl, but he would always knock it right over and eat off the floor. Recently I...

    How long does shedding last?

    Hey everyone. My Reeses has been shedding for awhile now. I'd say 2-3 weeks, if not more. I brush her reguarly to help prevent any possible hairballs. How long does shedding usually last though? I'm scared that she might develop a hairball. I'm guessing the Fiesta food I give her isn't helping...

    Hard time switching over to new food

    I'm having a hard time switching my rabbit to Oxbow Bunny Basics 15/23. I use to feed him Fiesta brand, but I read how bad that was for him so I'm trying to switch. When I gave him just Fiesta he'd eat the whole bowl, now he just knocks it over and picks through it, and doesn't eat the majority...

    Introducing a new rabbit

    I have a mini lop, not exactly sure how old but I've had since april and he was really small when I got him. I got a tiny dwarf rabbit, again not sure of age but young, younger than my mini lop. So I took them both into the bathroom and placed them together. They started out sniffing each...

    So Fiesta brand is a no no?

    I've read a couple of posts and it seems that Fiesta brand food isn't any good for rabbits. Is this right? I've been giving it to my mini lop since I had him, was the only stuff he would eat back then. I'm going to switch him to straight pellets. Anyone recommend a brand? Also what should I...

    How can I discipline my rabbit?!

    I currently have a mini lop rabbit, had him for about 2 months. Recently he likes to jump up on my couch and go to the bathroom, luckly just droppings. I've tried everything to get him to stop doing this. I tried stomping my foot and firmly telling him no followed by putting him back in his cage...
