Hi All, What's the best cage liner for a rabbit that likes to chew? We use the X-large dog crates with a very tough chew resistant cage mat. The problem is our girl, Polly, still chews and pulls as hard as possible on the mat. If we just used the cage trays, that would be too slippery. I...

Hi, Our rabbit, Beans, had bladder sludge and had his bladder flushed on Friday. This required anesthesia and he did well with that. However, since coming home, he wants nothing to do with his Western Timothy Hay. He usually goes crazy for it. He's also not drinking out of his water bowl. I've...

Hi, Our rabbit, Beans, has bladder sludge and we're going in for a bladder flush next Tuesday. Has anyone experienced this? We're a little worried about dealing with anesthesia, but this seems like our best option. I appreciate any input. Thank you very much! BobbyV

Hi, I have a feeling that our bunny, Beans, is having some kind of internal issue. He normally does very well using his litter pan. About two days ago, I noticed a couple areas outside of his litter pan where he had urinated. Then yesterday, it seems that he's peeing everywhere in his cage/pen...

Hi All, We have a 4 1/2 year old Netherland Dwarf, Beans. We've never picked him up and he usually scampers away when we even think about picking him up. For the past few months, he's been having some poopy bottom issues and we really would like to pick him up to clean him. I would appreciate...

Hi All, Our rabbit, Beans, has been having issues for the past few months with cecotropes sticking to his butt. He's a 4 1/2 year old Netherland Dwarf. Our vet has checked him out and can't really pinpoint the problem (xray, fecal tests). The first thing we did was limit him to just Timothy Hay...

Hi, Has anyone used a home pest control program where they treat your home to prevent insects, mice, etc. ? The rep said that after the spray dries, it's okay for pets but I want to be sure. How can I find out if this will affect our rabbit if he happens to come across any residue on carpet...

Hi, We use two Pet Lodge crates for our rabbit's home. They come with hard plastic liners that are too slippery, so we use Puppy Pads to help with any pee issues plus it helps for traction. I was wondering if anyone uses a washable mat/pad/liner for the bottom of their cage. I really appreciate...

Hi, I was just looking for any suggestions on toys for inside our bunny's cage. He spends most of the day (7am-5pm) in the cage while we're at work and I feel that he can become bored. Thanks!! BobbyV

Hi, We have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit (1 year old) that will normally use his litter box in his cage, but will also pee & poop in the spot where he eats his Timothy hay. He also has peed a couple of times in an adjoining cage where there isn't any hay or litter. Is this fairly normal...

Hi, Beans, our Netherland Dwarf, has been drinking a lot of water lately. He just got over a bout of gastric stasis 2 weeks ago, but his overall behavior has been really good. His weight is a little high for a dwarf (3.9 pounds), so our vet told us to eliminate any treats for the time...

Hi All, We have a Netherland Dwarf that's a little over a year old. We had to take him in to emergency last night because he was sluggish and wasn't eating or drinking. He just wasn't himself. It turns out to be gastric stasis. I called to check on him this morning and he was doing...

Hi, Our Netherland Dwarf bunny is acting strangely tonight. He was laying down in a lot of different spots almost like he wasn't comfortable. He's not as playful as normal and when I tried to feed him broccoli (his fave) right now, he wouldn't touch it. He's been shedding a lot and there some...

Hi, I was wondering what is best for hair consumption. Our netherland tends to shed and from time to time, there is considerable hair intertwined with the fecal pellets. I've heard about pineapple or papaya, but wanted to know if there is anything better. Thank you very much!

Hi, We have a Netherland Dwarf (10 months) and he loves to lick my face. At first, I thought he was going for the salt/oil on my skin. However, he'll keep on licking for minutes on end and really likes to go for the eyelids. If I turn my head, he'll just keep licking my hair. He won't...

Hi All, No matter what we do, our 9 month old Netherland Dwarf insists on digging and trying to pull up carpet. I've added some vinyl mats to a couple of areas that he used to work at, but he just goes elsewhere. I've also used cardboard in other areas, but he stills finds a spot here and...

Hi All, We have an 8 month old Netherland Dwarf and he has been a great bunny. He's been neutered and hasn't really been "misbehaving" until about 2-3 weeks ago. All of a sudden, he wants to chew on just about everything from the carpet to wood baseboards to our hutch. He also has really...

Hi, Does anyone know about a "full body twitch"? Our bunny was resting on the floor last night and his entire body was twitching, almost likea nervous tick. I petted him and at first, he didn't seem to repond. When I petted his body he sat up quickly, almost as if he had just woken up. We...

Hi All, We recently noticed a very small patch of a couple red spots between our bunny's shoulder blades. He was stretching his neck out for some food when we noticed it. At first, I thought it might be a cut or scratch, but now I'm not so sure. When he stretches his neck out, there is a small...

Hi, We have a 5 1/2 month old Netherland Dwarf bunny and recently was diagnosed with massive amounts of coccidia. We had gotten him from a rescue place so he might have picked it up there. Our vet prescribed SMZ for a 10 day period and after that we had another fecal exam. There was still the...
