Merlie, my 22 month old spayed Holland doesn't binky much anymore. She used to do it like crazy when she was younger, but now I rarely if ever see her do them. I moved to a new house in July, and ever since then she seems more "reserved" when she's out to play. I have large carpets in her room...

I have aquired a 6-8 week old male wild Florida bunny who was attacked by a cat. The owner of the cat brought the rabbit in to my work (I work as a tech at a vet hospital) and we did what we could for him. The little guy has some pretty wicked looking wounds but is eating and drinking well. He...

OKay so, I have had Merlie since she was 8-10 weeks old (she's 10 months now)and she's always seemed kinda, well "boney" to me... but I'm not sure if that has to do with my previous misconception that domestic rabbits should be fat:foreheadsmack: She eats great, and has a nice, round soft...

Okay, so Merlie is now 10 months old and she was spayed last month. I started gradually weaning her off of her "free feeding" schedule with pellets (really, she used to only onlyconsume a little over 1/4 cup a day anyways) I have split the feedings into two, half in the morning and half at...

Hello everyone! I know it's been a VERY loooong time since I've posted anything, let alone logged on to RO. Lets just say I've had a very eventful (if you could call it that)4 months. Anyways, enough about that.... Merlie was spayed today and I have a few questions/concerns and thought I'd...

So If you haven't read the post I did earlier today, Merlin is not a boy....but a girl. :headsmackAnyways, I now have two DOES, Merlie* and Marina. Both are unspayed (they are still too young yet) and have not "met" outside of their cages. I have some questions and concerns about potentially...

Oh. My. God. Thats All I can manage to say. Merlin went in for his* neuter this morning. Dr. B and I had decided a few months back (he* was about 10 weeks old) that Merlin was indeed a boy bunners. I have never been able to find testicles on Merlin, and I thought that was kinda normal since...

I noticed that behind Marina's cage near the wall and even on the floor in one particular cornerthere are tiny splotches of urine....ALOT of them. I cleaned the area with vinegar and then this morning I looked and she had done it again in the same spot. I also noticed a spray like pattern of...

A woman I work with has lost 3 of her 4 dogs in one month. Ybor was put down almost exactly a month ago due to aggression problems (she has a small child at home as well), Tessa was put down this past Friday due to cancer, and just yesterday she lost Torrie at home who was 16 years old. She also...

Marina is a different "sort" of bunny I think. I haven't had alot of experience with bunnies but she sure seems like an odd ball...or maybe my other two are odd balls;) Oliver and Merlin both love to run around the house, go outside, cause trouble ect. If given the choice Marina will justroam...

I noticed that today Marina had a light yellow tinge to the area directly under her nose. Her nose is not running, wet, crusty, mattedor anything. Respiration is normal, however she did sneeze once yesterday and come to think of it once a couple days ago. Her front legs are clean, no indication...

My baby boy Merlie is getting neutered on Monday. I'm a flippin' nervous wreck! The worst part is, is that I work at a vet hospital, have seen bunny neuters, and know its completely safe procedure... but I'm worried about him still. :pullhair::nerves1 I'm even going to be there with him the...

Merlin's new friend came home today... a 4 month old Dutchie doe named Marina. She could care less about him, but he seemed interested in her. Neither one of them are fixed, but they both will be. They are NOT being housed together, allowed out together, none of that. I do NOT want/plan to...

Merlin has been chewing and now (unfortunately) has started tugging at the wire on his cage. I let him out for 4 hours AT LEAST and maybe 12 or 13 hours a couple of days a week when I'm home. So he gets plenty ofplaytime. However, when I coax him back in the cage and close the door he gets mad...

I was wondering what age is best ( for the bunny) to be neutered? I've heard 4-6 months, 8 months.... I've alsoheard it depends on the breed of rabbit (ie it's better to neuter/spay larger breed rabbits after 8 months ect.) Merlin is about 15/16 weeks, and his vet wants to wait until he's 8...

Merlin has developed a habit of "chewing" on the wireing of his cage and I wondered if it can/does cause problems in a bunnies teeth? He usually gets 4-5 hours of "play"time out of his cage, but when I put him back in he bites at the wireing like he's mad.:grumpy: Anyways, I am terrified that...

I have herd many bun owners debate wheither or not you should "free feed" pellets to young bunnies. Here's a little info about Merlin and his diet: Merlin is about 14/15 weeks old, and as of right now I'm giving him a little more than 1/4 cup of Oxbowalfalfa pellets per day with unlimited...

While he was outside, merlin picked up and engulfed an entire plumeria flower bloom that had fallen on the ground. This happened about 45 mintues ago..... he seems fine, but I read online that they are posionous to people..... what about bunnies????!!!! I can't find anything online that talks...

My friend noticed some pus coming out of her buns rectum last night... she's taking him into our work (we work at a Veterinary Hospital) as we speak, but I wanted to get everyone's thoughts and opinons of what it may be... She is unsure of his age... she adopted him from the SPCA...she's had...

I know rabbits can have kale, but what about red kale? My dad picked it up for Merlin... and I didn't know if it was okay to give him a little.....
