    Harnesses

    Be super careful that the leash doesn't get wrapped around the bunny's legs. That is how Patches broke his leg. He was walking in the yard and the neighbor's dog started barking next door. He panicked and jumped away. It was a nasty break, a green stick "twisted" fracture.

    Roommate allergic?!?!? :(

    without a thorough cleaning of everywhere the bun has been, there could still be hair and dander for her to react to.

    Buying vs. Adopting

    the only problem with buying from stores is that it encourages the "bad" breeders. It's the same with dogs. A responsible breeder wants to know and approve of the homes that their babies go to. When you turn them over to a pet store, the animal will go to the first person who hands over...

    Omg help! - broken hind leg

    Patches broke his leg in two places when he was just a little older than your Pixie. It was a "twisting" fracture - he caught his leg in the bunny leash and SNAP. It was actually just dangling there when I picked him up. Thankfully, my vet takes payments (you can also check out Care Credit if...

    Many pet rabbits worse off than battery rabbits

    I know a few local people who raise rabbits for meat. They use the cages that I posted as well. Not to say that some of the bigger farms aren't different, just that this is the experience I have with local farmers

    Many pet rabbits worse off than battery rabbits

    RWAF wrote: I agree completely. Now imagine 2 or 3 bunnies living in that cage.... As I said, that is the expected norm for how bunnies should live, at least among a lot of people. So, yeah, I can see where the farmed rabbits might actually have better living conditions. After all, most pet...

    Many pet rabbits worse off than battery rabbits

    Kipcha wrote: I agree that out-of-cage time and human interaction are the key to your bunnies happiness. Unfortunately, the vast majority of pet rabbits get neither of those. They live in tiny square and only see people at feeding time. It's no different than people who chain their dogs in the...

    Many pet rabbits worse off than battery rabbits

    http://www.bassequipment.com/Home/Rabbit+Cages/default.aspx those are the hutches I'm talking about. If they are lucky, the owner puts a lean-to roof or a tarp over the top to keep out the rain. Otherwise, the poor bunny lives his whole life in the rain.

    Many pet rabbits worse off than battery rabbits

    I know many people whose rabbits live in a 2 foot square hutch (that includes sleeping area - some have no sleeping area, just a square open space on all sides). Wire floor to let the poop/pee through is as close as they get to cleaning. The mess just piles up under the hutch until the rain...

    Help - bad bunny!

    I would say these things work for puppies. Bunnies are just as smart, so I think it would at least be a good starting point. 1) don't let her out if you can't directly watch her. (this can change once she's older and you know she's not going to chew anything bad). 2) if you see her...

    Sexy buns

    for the longest time, one of my best high school friends was a PETA supporter. Once she got more involved after high school, however, she is now an avid protester of them. Sadly, there is a similar issue with the Humane Society. The money you donate to the national organization goes to...

    Sexy buns

    never been a fan of PETA. they would rather that your buns be turned loose and eaten than you keep them as pets. when they "rescue" dogs, they euthanize almost every single one of them. Again, better that the animals be dead than to live in "slavery" I believe that their kill rate at...

    Captured a loose rabbit....

    I'll just stop in long enough to side with the "original owner" crowd. a lost bunny can lose weight really fast! Shoot, I have people who think that my dogs are uncared for because they are "skinny" Actually, they are the weight they are supposed to be; everyone is just used to seeing...

    Scary Craigslist Ad

    Captured a loose rabbit....

    yeah, I hope that you can get the bunny a great home. I just wanted to be sure that everyone knew that you (generic you) can't decide that a stray animal is better off with someone other than the owner. It's sad that the laws are so lax regarding what counts as taking care of a pet.
