To not sugarcoat it: No way you're not going to end up knee deep in baby bunnys in no time when you put a buck with intact does. This is not play, they are dead serious about it - and legendary quick (I can tell, my late bucks record was less than 30 seconds from both accidentially getting into...

My 2 cents: It has a catchy acronym, it was all the rage for some time and speculation about alleged effects got hyped across the internet. Imo it does pretty much nothing (it's just vingar inb very low concentrations), no multitude of positive effects But, on the positive side - there is no...

Could be some deformity, like split *****, just something else. Or is it a doe, and there's that lump on one side? Can't tell much from the very small picture or video, it's not easy to see much details at that age on pictures in any case... Since it looks rather clean it seems that peeing...

To me those don't sound like injuries I would do a lot about, if they stopped bleeding and aren't deep, don't look open or sore I would just keep an eye on it. Pictures might help to give an opinion there. If rabbits aren't acting normal I'm pretty quick with pain meds to see if there is...

My only problem was Meloxicam was that my vet uses an outdated handbook and gave doses - 0.1 g/kg (max 0.3mg/kg) - that were way too low. Apropriate dose is rather 0,3-0,6mg/kg, and even more when necessary. I started to see results when I gave ca. 0,4mg/kg...

Does the skin look normal, no dandruf, hair loss etc.? One of my girls had mites last year, I think, but there were obvious signs like a layer of kind of dandruf that held together pretty well and clumps of fur came off with it, and treatment (I think with Stronghold) worked. Hm, would be...

I think it's refering to removing the cats claws. Something I've only seen in the US, it's illegal here.

Nope, that's something I have to live with. He doesn't spray all year round, he has his times, and does most of it outdoors, but sometimes there is something to mop up. They are banned from the only room with wood flooring. I didn't plan to make my last buck, Herr Hase, my housebunny, he just...

Imho, humping for dominance is a doe thing. Bucks have other things on their mind (guess what he was dreaming about :D), and they sometimes use their teeth when trying to get in postion, if the bite marks are at her back that might be the reason. It's hormonal. and although it was worse with my...

You can handle them any time - I check and clean the nest as soon as the doe is done, replace soiled or wet bedding (blood etc. can attrackt flies), make sure the kits are well covered with fur. Then for the next days I just put my hand in there to feel if everything is ok and cozy. Some does...

I understand your frustration, not just because of the price but because there sure are some out there that breed for a quick buck, and not for health and breed standards... I'm not sure keeping the price low is in your own interest. First, people who want that breed because it's trendy quite...

To me, that doesn't sound like it's much of a thing. My rabbits don't care much about smell, bucks were housed next to the does and used the same garden, and even getting pregnant again didn't keep my does from caring for their litter. Rabbits are social animals, other rebbits around shouldn't...

Would Amazon work for you? https://www.amazon.com/Oxbow-Adult-Rabbit-Garden-Select/dp/B06XX68LM2?th=1 Oxford seem to have a own store there: https://www.amazon.com/stores/OxbowAnimalHealth/page/3864D968-A52E-4EED-A5B4-F52D5F020313?ref_=ast_bln

Sigh... After a long struggle, ups and downs that went on for half a year, Chantal finally died, at just 6 years of age. A week before christmas she had her last stasis episode, but perked up considerable and looked as ok as could be expected. This spring/summer I brought her to the vet because...

That's something I see more with my older rabbits, this year it was especially bad. Even treated two for possible mites because I just wasn't sure if it's still in the range of normal, although there were no bald spots there was some dandruff. There was a lot of plucking to do, mostly on their...

My oldest doe, Red, is 10 now, and blind on one eye. Fury, her mother she lived with, died this spring. I was able to successfully bond her to my other pair of does, Ruth and Chantal, and at that time 4 doelings - by openening all hutches during daytime so they could venture into the others...

How often does she sneeze? Is it a fit of a series of sneezes, and then nothing for hours? Are there certain places (litter box, hay rack) where she sneezes most of the time, or is it unrelated to where she is? I have one doe, Ruth, that at times does quite some sneezing. Couldn't find out...

I don't do yearly checkups. If something is wrong, off to vet we are. If there is nothing wrong, imho chances are slim that a vet would find anything of importance either, and there is the risk that something gets treated that's not treatworthy. I rather save the money for moments when I need...

Do you think the first injury was self inflicted?

Uhm, rabbits like bitter and love apples ;), I would test that on something expendable first.. Cats and dogs are different beasts. Honestly, no idea that would work indoors (painting wood with rabbit urine seems to work in my outdoor hutches though), that's why bunny proofing is a thing. Get it...
