Sorry for your loss. It always hurts no matter how short or long the animal's life was...no matter what the circumstances of his/her passing. Just remember that there are many, many people like you out there who have gone through this situation. In time, your strongest memories will be of the...

Thinking of you and Chippy today. Let us know what the vet has to say. :pray:

Thanks for the recommendation. I have to send the info along to a friend who is currently using various alt medicine therapies for a rabbit with neurological issues from EC. She is finding that acupuncture is doing amazing things for her little gal.

Aw, Peg....those babies are just too sweet. Who would WANT to get any work done?

That's a really beautiful portrait of Tallulah. It will look lovely in your home, I am sure. Sorry that you won't be getting another little girl. But that probably is the best for now. That's kind of the stage we are at with our cats. As they are aging and our numbers slowly declining...we are...

It sounds like you have really done a lot of research and preparation. As long as you have the money, time, and realize that you may not be able to work them into a bonded trio...I say go for it. I agree that it might be wise to start with just the pair or the solo for a week or two...then add...

I also feed my buns Oxbow pellets...and (since they are older) daily salads...and hay, of course. Our vet's office carries the Oxbow pellets and hays at a much more reasonable cost than the area pet store that carries it. Like others have said, just make sure to avoid pellets that have seeds &...

She's adorable and looks similar to my Pipkin. She may well be a Holland Lop. Mine did not grow much after 6 mos of age...just changed in features. Welcome to RO. Hope you enjoy yourself here. It's a great place to make friends and learn a lot about bunnies. Don't be afraid to ask any questions.

Welcome to RO. Great to have you with us.

E-collars definitely don't work with bunnies. At least it didn't with Emmaline. She is very crafty and had hers off in no time (but the vet at the emerg center had insisted she wear it). Our vet has been known to use "wire" sutures. Since Emmaline is such a fuss-bucket and will chew at...

Congratulations on finding a breeder. Looking forward to seeing pics of whoever you adopt.

I agree that an emergency spay would be less costly than dealing with babies. And remember that if she has the babies, you will then have to deal with finding homes for them. Your aunt should definitely take care of at LEAST 1/2 the cost of the spay as her bunny is the buck involved AND it was...

Question for those of you who use shop vacs...do you have any trouble with the hose clogging when you vac up hay? Mine tends to do that - esp with long strands of timothy. I thought it was the hose, which has a little "lip" on the part that inserts into the vac. So...I tried my hose from our big...

So glad Archie has finally convinced your mum that he should be inside. :P I think living in the larder will work fine since he will have a chance to run and play in the kitchen when he is awake. Congratulations on things working out for you. I'm anxious to see pics of your final set-up.
