If you are having issues with the area being consistently damp, then it's a good idea to try to address it. Your climate, it seems, isn't helping the situation. It would be a good idea to consider some modifications or changes to your setup. Having some hardscape in their area could help...

Paper bags, paper towel rolls (stuff with hay if desired). More cardboard... tunnels, boxes with multiple doorways.. think of creating spaces to explore. Then they can be rearranged once the buns seem bored of it. If your rabbits won't ingest a towel, then a towel can create hidey spots (or...

I agree that a leash/harness is not an effective way for a rabbit to get exercise. I go into more detail here at my site on the reasons and the potential dangers. Rabbits get their best exercise where they are comfortable and feel safe. A room (or more) that has decent floor traction will allow...

Cottontails, even healthy ones I'm afraid, have a very low survival rate in captivity. And in some states is it is illegal to keep them. That said, the following is an informative article that should prove helpful: https://vetspace.2ndchance.info/how-to-care-for-orphaned-wild-cottontail-bunnies/

As Preitler mentioned, the goal is for the dog to understand that the rabbit is part of the family/home. So basically it's a matter of training your dog as to what behavior is and is not acceptable around the rabbit. I go over this a bit on my webpage ...

@thenailfairy1812 , Have you checked the skin under that fur per @Preitler question?

I can't quite make it out in the photo... is the fur thin or gone there? Or is it just white fur same as the rest?

A little delayed in responding but that video is a fun compilation of binkies! The following is not binkies, but just a pair of silly bunnies. Be sure to at least make it to the roughly 55 second mark to see a funny backward maneuver.

How is he doing today?

Glad you had an easy time with your rabbit. How old is he? Is he neutered? Generally neutered rabbits do train themselves. All that is needed is an enticing litterbox setup. It is a natural thing for rabbits to choose one location to do their business-- especially for urine. However, as far as...

As long as your rabbit eats plenty of hay, then cardboard should not be an issue. If you haven't done so already, you can stuff the TP tubes with hay just for fun.

Rabbits are considered adults around 6-7 months of age. They can begin to transition to adult pellets at that time. https://rabbitsindoors.weebly.com/pellet-food.html The exception would be the giant breeds like Flemish Giant that take longer to grow (9-12 months).

I'm afraid I have no experience with comfrey as it doesn't grow out here in the southwest desert. Perhaps @Preitler has experience with this as he provides a variety of forage for his rabbits.

Unfortunately the pineapple juice idea has been shown to be a myth. Bromelain is the enzyme in pineapple (papain in papaya) that is said to dissolve hair. However, a low pH (below 3) destroys the enzyme. The pH of a rabbit's stomach is 1.5 - 2.2. That means the enzyme cannot survive in the...

That depends. The only way to know is to try it. They have reviews that show people that used to love it for its freshness are now saying quality has gone way down and it is dry and dusty. So it depends on how fresh it is. I prefer to get hay locally. That way I can visually inspect it before...

What a cutie! She's just begging for a fitting name with all that fluff! But a good name depends also on your likes and interests. The following is my go-to suggestion list when it comes to naming a rabbit... Do you have any favorite movies or books? You can use character names from those. (She...

Welcome to the forum.

These types of bowls that either twist or slide onto a clamp cannot be tipped over or spilled. And since they are raised slightly (because of the clamp) the rabbits tend to not get in them either.
