Tohkay and Uman are a pair of bonded female rabbits available for adoption within five hours of the greater Birmingham, AL area, or anywhere between AL and NY (as far north as Albany) with enough notice to set up a transport. They are bonded females of an unknown age but appear young and are...

Wow, it's been a while since I've updated! Let's recap: 1. Everyone's neuters went off without a hitch. 2. Cersei the bunny found a home via Alabama E.A.R.S. 3. Phoebe and Cal were adopted to a home in New York that adopted Jabba the Hop, now Jackie, another 'bama bunny of mine, a couple of...

Jaime and Tyrion still need homes! The transport leaves Aug 26th.

I have four rabbits currently available for adoption who will have the opportunity to be transported from AL to NY at the end of the month. Stops can be made along the way, and with adoption commitment in the Tri-State area, they can also be placed in early September pending arrangements with...

First, bunny updates: 1. Cersei was spayed and found a home through Birmingham EARS, our local chapter of HRS. Once healed up from her spay she will be living with a sweet male bunny who lost his companion recently. 2. The three remaining boys are scheduled to be neutered in early August, after...

Mine varies as I both buy some greens and harvest them from the yard when seasonally appropriate; they get plantain (the weed, not the fruit), wild strawberry leaves, dandelion greens, henbit, clover flowers, etc. from the yard, and then generally kale, collards, mustard greens, and turnip...

The only unspayed doe I've ever had who didn't turn into a hormonal nightmare beast at maturity was our Flemish Giant. I had one other who was mostly gentle but could have her moments, but that aside? They've all be snarling, lunging, biting, stomping hellions at maturity. I've also had two die...

As with your other post: treats are intended to be just that, treats, and full horse biscuits are far too large to be given to a rabbit in general, let alone daily. I wouldn't do a commercial treat more than once a week; offering fresh, healthy snacks like fresh greens, grasses, and veggies will...

Two a day of any commercial treat sounds a bit much to me, tbh, even if it's an acceptable one - and remember that the horse treats are a much bigger portion size than a typical rabbit treat. I'm sure the horse biscuits are safe for occasional use; all that's really in them is wheat...

Happy news, folks! Thanks to help from our local chapter of the House Rabbit Society, Birmingham EARS, Cersei has a home lined up and will be getting spayed on Tuesday! The individual getting her is an experienced house bunny owner with another bun who just lost its companion. So happy for her...

Chasing them down to the point where they are exhausted, have racing hearts, and are shaking is not only going to prove injurious to your bond with them, but could easily cause them serious physical harm; rabbits both overheat easily and can simply die of stress-related heart attacks. I'm very...

Yup; there are many well-supported psychological and behavioral links between unkind and violent behavior towards animals and likewise towards humans. A huge indicator for domestic violence, for example, is harming or threatening a family member's pet, first. Bullies thrive off of exerting power...

You don't get bored of who you love, so if you love your bunny, you won't get bored and you won't want to give it up. That having been said: if you are fifteen and have doubts about your ability to commit to a rabbit, it may be best to wait. I say this because depending on the age and type of...

Unless you can get your fingers between the mats and the skin to provide a protective buffer, do not attempt to use scissors, as on any species it is easy to accidentally cut the skin - and rabbits have some of the most delicate, easily shredded, pantyhose-thin skin there is. It may work better...

Now let's talk animals in Alabama. When I lived in New York, I was able to work with a number of wonderful no-kill animal shelters. They were set up in buildings with kennel runs and daily adoption hours like most shelters, but they were well-funded and organized, had good exposure, favorable...

Surf Storm, your bunny looks a lot like mine! Which means... it's time for rabbit roll call! Apologies in advance for the 'meh' quality photos; I'll be trying for better when I get a chance. Right now, there are seven bunnies staying with me, two of whom are "mine." So let's start there with...

Romaine and Spinach shouldn't be too sugary, but Spinach is high in oxalic acid, which over time can lead to some bladder issues, so don't use it too heavily. Unlimited timothy, pellets in moderation, and I believe around a cup or so of greens daily is what a lot of folks consider a fair...

Thanks, all! The two long pens are actually two x-pens combined; I have a huge number of the things because I grab every one I can find at yard sales, and have used them over the years for all kinds of critters.

Odd question, but is their water staying cool despite the temperatures and are you noticing any changes in their water consumption? I ask because bunnies often aren't great about drinking warm water, and the first thing they'll avoid eating if they're not as well hydrated is dry foods.

Just wanted to share my current rabbit & cavy set up - ex-pens w/vinyl flooring. Very easy to clean even if they don't always use the litter box reliably. I can't have free-roaming bunnies in the house since I have some very predatory cats and dogs, but this is the next best thing. Adding an...
