    Separating Bonded Pairs - Is it okay?

    Hi there, So since January this year i started bonding my sisters Mini Lop doe with my Netherland Dwarf buck. I was very successful, it was pretty much love at first sight and they moved into side by side play pens within two weeks, another two weeks down and they were in a large combined play...

    Water Bottles for cages - Do rabbits need to be taught how to use them?

    Rabbits less affectionate after bonding?

    Has anyone found this? I found my rabbit Racer is less inclined to hop up onto the bed and have a pat etc than he used to be pre-bonding with his partner (LeeHom my mini lop).

    Grass Hay vs. Oaten Hay vs. Lucerne Hay vs. Meadow hay

    Unfortunately we do not get Timothy hay here in Australia. I know nothing about Grass hay but have read that its similar to Timothy hay and perfectly suitable for rabbits? I believe Lucerne is only really suitable for younger rabbits due to the high protein content? Oaten hay and Meadow hay...

    Urgent: Sore found on my bunny! Patches of fur missing!

    The last week or so i noticed some strange patches of fur that are darker on my bunny. Three patches. I also noticed the darker patches seem to be shorter. I ruled it down to shedding and brushed him more often the last week. However tonight while patting him, i noticed a scabby feel of...

    My first bunny bonding experience!

    So tonight i introduced my Netherland Dwarf buck (neutered about a month ago) with my sisters Mini Lop doe (spayed two months ago). I would say that their first bunny date was a resounding success however i could be wrong. First i chose neutral territory. Second i put some shoes on my hand to...

    I found fleas on a new bunny!

    Hi there, We just picked up an adorable 8 week old orange mini lop, the cutest little buck you'll ever see! In the car on the way home we saw two things that alarmed us: 1. A small circle shaped hairless patch on the back of his neck behind his head that had a dried scab on it. It appears it...

    Rabbit different post neutering?

    Hi there, My rabbit got neutered 3 days ago (tuesday) and before the neuter he was a loving and affectionate bunny. The last two days i kinda expected him to be recovering so as expected he's been lethargic and just sitting in the corner of his play pen, not doing much. I've been giving him...

    Racer gets neutered today!

    My little Nethie Racer got dropped off at the Vet Hospital at 8am this morning, i'll go pick him up after work at 5:30pm. He was so nervous in the car ride there but im sure he'll be fine as my Vet is very good and did a great job spaying my sisters mini lop LeeHom. After Racer gets the snip...

    My little Nethie drank my juice!

    He didnt drink all of it, i had a large glass of it on my desk and i was doing things around my room and he must have jumped up onto the desk because when i turned around he was drunking his whole face into the glass and lapping up the orange and mango juice! He was fine this morning but i know...

    Your thoughts on this style of bonding

    Hey guys, I spoke to a breeder the other day and she said that the fastest way to bond rabbits is to put them in a new house, with new people, new smells, totally different environment and after about a week the rabbits are quite well bonded as they have to rely on each other to feel safe. She...

    Is it true smaller rabbits become sexually mature faster?

    I read larger rabbits are usually ready for neutering/spaying at 6 months of more, but smaller breeds can be ready anytime from 3-5 months. How true is this? My Netherland Dwarf is 5 months old next week and i still cant see his nuts! I want to get him neutered ASAP so i can start bonding him...

    Why do we need to groom medium haired rabbits?

    My sister is a horrible rabbit owner and doesnt give her bunny (mini lop) much attention. Shes 22 and should be more responsible. I went to check on her rabbit (we both have one but they live separately in our rooms), and i noticed the rabbit was shedding everywhere and everytime i petted the...

    Do smaller bunnies jump higher than larger bunnies?

    Just a quick question: Do smaller breeds like Netherlands have better jumping abilities than say, a Mini Rex or a NZ or Flemish Giant? I'm asking because my younger smaller Netherland can jump from the ground to my bed with no problems and does it routinely, whereas my significantly larger...
