Using Revolution as a preventative is your choice but I would not (and have not) used it for any of my rabbits over the past 30+ years. I don't like to medicate my pets unnecessarily. IF they would happen to get mites or fleas, it would be easy enough to treat at that time. (I have never had the...

Still rescuing! Good for you! Now for some photos, please!

How is his area setup? (A photo would be most helpful.) I typically recommend that a rabbit newly moved to a new place be confined for at least a couple weeks before being allowed a larger area. This helps them establish their 'new' potty area. It sounds like he needs some confined time to...

Lots of hay. Encourage lots of hay eating by refreshing it several times throughout the day. The hay helps push the ingested fur through the gut. That type of poo is often referred to as a string of pearls since the fecal balls seem strung together by all that fur. (The idea of feeding...

Honestly the amount of fur shown in those photos is nothing... especially for a couple days. I'd consider that normal, just normal shedding and definitely not a molt. That little amount of fur is nothing to be concerned about. When they are actually molting, there will be loads of fur and that...

They may not chew on them. Only one or two of my rabbits over the years ever chewed on baseboards. A few possibilities are to use plexiglass, coroplast, shelfcube grids, or pine 1x4s.

Generally speaking--very generally-- larger breeds tend to be more laid back than the smaller breeds. The smaller breeds can be very energetic. Rabbits are one of the most misunderstood pets. I think every single new rabbit owner is surprised to discover that having a rabbit for a pet is much...

You may be surprised. Rabbit rescues often have trios that they adopt out as a trio.

Perhaps someone would be interested in adopting a trio. You could consider advertising them as a trio.

Yes, it is fine to feed hay in the litterbox, provided it is refreshed at least twice per day. Rabbits won't eat soiled hay, so all's good.

Welcome to the forum. For any future posts, please be sure to use punctuation. It is very difficult for people to understand what you've written when there are no periods to mark the end of sentences. Paragraphs also help to break up one's thoughts into understandable bits. I could not make...

Not following where he is used to getting hay. I feed mine hay a couple times per day by adding directly into their litterbox. That way there is always clean hay on top. (They tend to do their business at one end of the large litterbox.) That alone is sufficient for hay. Putting a hay rack of...

Now you're just trying to be contentious. I have not been contentious in my replies to you. I have tried to offer some facts for your consideration. Unfortunately you seem more bent on defending the method of keeping meat rabbits. I will give you the benefit of the doubt once more-- this time...

Looks like we'll be too far out of the path. We flew to Idaho in 2017 to view the full solar eclipse there. That was something else! The difference between the full eclipse and that moment when there was still the tiniest sliver of sun visible was just immense. Enjoy your viewing!!

So are you trying to raise meat rabbits? The videos you show are for meat rabbits. They do not show ideal conditions for a rabbit... especially not a pet rabbit. Once one discovers just how active a rabbit can be when given the opportunity, then one understands the reason for providing plenty of...

Are they all females? Are they bonded?

It's difficult to see the other openings in the photo, so hard to say. From what I can see, it would seem to have the potential to be a bit stifling for a litter box in there. BTW, the capture of your rabbit in that photo is fantastic.

What is the climate like where you live? Something to consider is that rabbits cannot easily regulate their body temperature. So, for example, if the outdoors is... say 15 degrees Fahrenheit... cooler or hotter than the indoor temperature, then it would not be advised to bring the rabbit indoors...

Laundering it would likely make it 'unrecognizable' to Dortmund since rabbits go by scent. However, if you have a blanket or similar that he lays on frequently, it's possible that you could restore some of that scent to the laundered toy by rubbing it thoroughly with the blanket.

So do you still have the other rabbit you got about 4 months ago? Are you planning/hoping to bond the two rabbits? Just checking in case you are not aware that rabbits don't always get along. Females can be particularly territorial. If you do still have the other rabbit, she would be about the...
