I have read so many articles that generally say 4 years to 15 years. This is very vague and not a satisfactory answer! ;) I have a male Flemish who was neutered at 6 months old. I have had him since then and he is now 2 years old. He eats a diet of MannaPro feed and freshfruits/veggies as...

My Flemish is pretty affectionate, I think. He is neutered and I have had him since he was 6 months old (he's now about 2 years). He licks us some, but mostly likes to cuddle and be petted. If I am sitting in the floor, he will come up beside me as close as possible and hide his head under...

The choroplast idea sounds great to me, but I have had absolutely no luck finding where it might be available in my area... I am in NE Tennessee. Anyone know?

Pipp wrote: Luca returns to his cage willingly (independently) fairly often - to use the potty and to munch. Rarely, he will even go in to lie down. I have a feeling that our house's carpet is more comfortable to him than the rubber floor in his cage, though ;) He does not fuss when I put...

I appreciate the opinion, elrohwen. However, I know my bun. If he were cooped up all the time like many pet rabbits, I could see requiring a 4'x4' cage, however, this is not the case. Luca is free to roam the house most of the time. For 4-6 hours each night and 6 hours of the day three...

We grow for ourselves most of the following and our bun gets a lot of variety as the season goes. So far, his favorite veggie treat seems to be the carrots... carrots parsley bell peppers lettuce pumpkins tomatoes strawberries raspberries cucumbers zucchini broccoli mustard okra melons...

Just to update everyone... Moved the litterbox back to the way we had it before - with the lid on, sitting right in the doorway of the cage. He goes in and out normally now, so maybe he was just getting used to the new setup. Still have not gotten a second level put up, but will do that...

He is neutered, and there is bedding (not hay)in his litterbox, but not in the cage floor. I will try putting his food over closer, as it is not reachable from his litterbox...

I recently set up a new cage for my Flemish Giant with a large cat litterbox. He has been in this setup for2-3 weeks now. My problem is that while he is urinating in the litterbox (this is our first litterbox - in his previous cage, he just used his whole cage), but deposits his pellets on the...

A dog crate is actually what I used as his very first cage. I raise and train coonhounds, so it is the largest crate I could find, since my dogs are large. That crate is pretty much the same size as the cage, just not as tall.

Luca says thanks for the complimentwabbitmom12 ;) I think I will work on putting a second level in there - that would give him a good open space to chill in. Maybe by this weekend we can get that done. Now that he is coming out of the litterbox, our issue is getting him to poo in there. As...

Thanks, I will see what I can do...

Luca is about a year and a half old. I havent weighed him since he was 6 mos old. I'd say he is probably 18-22 lbs or so... VERY rough estimate. He gets out most of the day. Mornings when I get ready for work, and when I get home until bedtime, unless we leave to go somewhere. He is now...

Good luck with him! Congrats!

Do you think the litterbox is too big? Maybe if I tried a smaller one that he can't lie down in?

Well, I took the lid off the litterbox and moved it inside the cage. Now, he will put his feet on the side of the litterbox and reach as far as he can to get to his water and food. He will jump out of the box to leave his cage...but not to eat or stretch out...I don't understand. The only thing...

I THINK he may have come out once, becuase there was a small piece of bedding lying in the cage floor this morning...but he could have kicked that out of the litterbox, also, so I'm not sure...

My boyfriend and I have 6 dogs (we train, showand hunt Coonhounds), all outdoor. We also have a Guinea in a pen outside and an outdoor cat. Inside, we have Luca, our Flemish Giant (neutered), and a turtle. The dogs require the most care - feeding/watering/exercise/training/etc...the cat is...

The parrot cage is about 2'x3'. It has a lower door and an upper door and I had planned on adding a platform later so he could have another level up top...although if he never comes out of the box, there wouldn't be much point in that... I'll try to post a pic of the setup soon. Being a...

I devised a new cage with a litterbox attached to the outside for my Flemish Giant. It is one of the large covered cat boxes wired to the doorway of a large parrot cagewhich hasrubber matting on the floor of the cage (bedding in the litterbox). His food and water are nearby, but not within reach...
