Likewise adding my condolences. There was a Facebook group post about a bun attacked by a domestic cat with images. Little one, beautiful harlequin (but coloring does not matter) did not survive either. Just as you tried your best to help Creela, the Rescue group sought vet care...

We have cared for special needs' buns with hind limb paresis (unable to hop or use their back legs) for approximately 20 years. Cecals do get stuck if their medical conditions do not allow somebun to rotate and ingest immediately from the output valve. What works best for us is a two-person...

@Orrin , A longtime friend whom I met when chaperoning a bunny date at the shelter continues to observe cottontail behavior on his property. As we do! I could write a chapter about cottontail behavior. He would observe a yard cottontail stacking pie tin plates during wintertime supplements...

This is a valuable education website - with lots of photos! - to keep in mind when you are a bun parent. Hope this helps, @Mini_Rex , when you contend with a 10-week-old youngster who is marking territory with your busy household, dog, and children. https://rabbitsindoors.weebly.com/...

@Mini_Rex , on the subject on marking territory and pee'ing previous to neuter/spay: I accompanied a rescue to a prospective home for dating his n/boy. His mini rex boy would groom him, and when cherished boy jumped up on the soft comfy bedding that is easy to urinate on, well, Peanut his...

Dunno how far you wish to drive for a dating situation to gauge relationship chemistry? Gainesville Rabbit Rescue in FL, and Southwest Florida Rabbit Rescue post all the time wrt rabbits needing forever homes. Hope you can check out all the rescue pages listed.

Same for letting their personalities and feelings known: Our 8 y.o. dutch rescue scampers up the stairway and does the obligatory thump at the top hallway. His routine behavior once his playshift has ended. Thumping at the DVM was a smilemaker situation, too, @Mini_Rex ! Two rexes were...

One sanctuary bun would bite hard as I lowered my hand with the Oxbow Simple Rewards treat - or any other mini-treat. She smelled the shower gel scent after I had exited the shower a bit earlier. Same for using a kitchen sink area hand soap. When I didn't have the "different" aroma on my...

First off, I offer my empathy on your boy's bladder stone surgery and subsequent death. I understand the grief of losing somebun in surgery. Certainly not a horrible decision to try bonding. I dunno if Blue eyes has bonding advice on her rabbitindoors weebly site? Here's a couple links to...

I want to express my condolences also. Sadness. Empathy always for these vulnerable pets who pass away without ever experiencing the TLC we can give. Yes, we replay what would have caused their deaths? I understand the "shoulda, woulda, coulda's". Ditto what @Nancy McClelland typed...

When you visit the rabbit-savvy vet with Fluffy, please take a fecal sample. Several rescues and buns who were surrendered to shelters (formerly abandoned) received a parasitic or coccidiosis dx. (dx = an abbreviaion for diagnosis). Mentioning this from our personal experiences. One dutch...

Is your young or adult bun spayed? I well know that even sp/eutered buns can nip or bite to communicate. How else can they say "put me down" or "I don't like what's going on." Our two year-old had his RHVD2 booster dose this past week. He sailed thru fine. No reactions or bunny disapproval...

I can relate. Our special needs girl who does not have use of her hind legs receives warm water by the sink or laundry tub that cleanses out the stuck cecotropes. I firmly hold her while the faucet rinses off the soiled fur areas. Then she is dried with a soft hand towel. She is never...

We learned the hard way on sophresh bedding containing baking soda. I should have KNOWN BETTER. Two rescued Flemishes were taken in by us in December 2018. The previous owner gave us the bag of sophresh containing baking soda. Their guinea-pig sized caging unit included the water bowl...

Shark rechargeable cordless floor and carpet sweeper/vacuum.

Always agoutis, that color so remind us of cottontails. However I play no favorites wrt breed or color. Many rescued rabbits or high-shelter-euth list & over capacity rescues have come in various colors. eh, i'm no help, and so? A pet store tortoise-shell dutch who came to our home was a...

@Mokey and Briar , I am so grateful you rescued her! From all the contacts I have with rescue groups, many humans choose to abandon their rabbits and they are not fixed. So the rescue now has babies to find homes for. Plus volunteering at a local shelter, I observed the rabbits that were...

@sydda Thank you for requesting a rehoming fee if someone contacts you. Without meticulous screening, rabbits can transition to malicious individuals. Thank you to all who collaborated. I express gratitude for the funds invested already. Education classes are likewise beneficial for novice...

Hello @sydda , This New Zealand White discarded gal is lucky you are doing your best to find her the appropriate forever home. Hopefully she can be spayed, and checked for microchip. In most cases, humans are irresponsible (and cruel) and abandon their pets without considering how to...

Our naughty lionhead girl, along with all our sanctuary buns, are spayed and neutered. For some reason, 3 yr. old lionhead girl who is very territorial about her space (as rabbits can be!) is a talented digger and chewer. Of the more than 40+ or so buns who have shared our home, or come thru...
