    Oxbow Critical Care - Apple and Banana gone?

    Hopefully it's just a production pause and they'll continue in the near future. I still have two unopened packs in the freezer, but their BBDs are 2019 & 2023. (I should probably toss the older one.) I only needed to use it once years ago (and she pretty much refused it), but try to always...

    Question about music

    My observations have been the same. There's no difference in their response to music, whether it's Immortal, Suffocation, Paradise Lost, or Blind Guardian. They appear to appreciate all genres of metal :) I image music is like television for them -- it just doesn't register in the same way as...

    Herbal Sampler, can my guys have it

    Yes. They're from Small Pet Select & made specifically for rabbits. My guys didn't care for them all that much, but I sprinkled them on hay sometimes. They like the healthy snackers a lot more.

    Best supply for bunnies.

    > What are the best large hay feeder for groups of bunnies? I have a large wooden hay feeder from 101Rabbits, and my guys don't really care for it. They'd rather eat hay from the floor of their litter boxes or have hay tossed on the floor. (Same with pellets: they don't like food dishes and...

    Bunnies living together.

    Yes, they're both fixed. They were rescues & were fixed before I brought them home. I don't have experience with intact rabbits, but I would think fighting could be minimized with more space for each to run away. My fixed rabbits have never fought, but if things got heated & one wanted to run...

    Bunny Shedding Tufts

    I also get better luck incorporating light plucking with grooming. That way, they think they're being groomed and not plucked :) And Preitler is right regarding older age in my case: mine are 8 & 10.5 years old, and I think they like it less the older they get...

    Bunny Shedding Tufts

    My buck doesn't like me pulling loose fur, but he's not the most social guy in general. My doe doesn't mind, and she's the type that loves getting attention & groomed. As for taking offence, I tend to think there's an associated physical sensation they may not care for... or maybe they just...

    My bunny eats tooo much paper, can’t get her to stop :(

    Yes! They're just small pine trees in simple planters. Festive AND edible! :)

    Bunnies living together.

    I have a pair who've always gotten along great. When one dies, I plan to get another & rebond -- and I don't have any preference for ***. My rabbits have a lot of space and hiding areas, so hopefully that makes a difference. My buck spends all day underneath my bed and is pretty non-social, but...

    bunny screamed:( (RIP)

    I'm not experienced enough to give any advice here... but I would think it would be more common/normal for a young rabbit to scream than an adult, as the world's much newer (and scarier). I imagine putting a toddler on ice for the first time might elicit a similar response. I experienced my...

    My bunny eats tooo much paper, can’t get her to stop :(

    I buy various sticks from Small Pet Select. I also have a large supply of willow baskets & tents from Binky Bunny. They have new (cheaper) palm leaf bowls, too -- I picked up around 50 of them recently when I found my rabbits like to eat them. I had a cardboard box that an xpen came in that my...

    My rabbit hasnt been eating for 8+ hours

    Not eating for long periods (like 8 hours) is dangerous for rabbits -- their system requires constant grazing. Not eating often means a rabbit is experiencing GI "stasis," where the digestive system slows (is in stasis). Your best bet is to take him to a vet if he hasn't already recovered...

    Should i take my rabbit be outside still?

    He's probably scared. There are a lot of natural threats outside that a domesticated rabbit would be wary of. Birds of prey swoop down to grab & eat rabbits, but that fear is mitigated indoors. He also wants a hiding spot in new areas, and won't want to be put outside in a wide, open (scary)...

    Question about what my vet told me

    The Holland Lop can have issues with mouth/nasal area as well as ears due to the physical structure of the breed, just as it can happen in some dog breeds. It's an increased risk, but certainly not a guarantee, that members of certain animal breeds can develop health issues. I would think there...

    My rabbit keeps peeing on my bed and i dont know how to prevent it

    Does your rabbit have space outside of your bedroom? The easiest is just to keep him out when you're not in there. My buck's great, but I have to keep my doe out of my bedroom. She doesn't urinate on the bed, but underneath (despite the large, hay-filled litter box half a meter away).

    Im concerned because of my rabbits sudden behavior

    I second Blue Eyes above -- rabbits can hear much higher frequency than humans, and their hearing is much more sensitive. It's not uncommon for a pet rabbit to startle at a sound they hear that we can't. I recently had one of my rabbits startle & thump underneath the kitchen table for...

    New Here/Getting Rid of a Rabbit

    While I can understand your frustration at the present situation, I have to admit that I giggled a bit at reading a disgruntled "my ten-week-old is misbehaving!" (Really? A ten-week-old isn't behaving? 🤣) Look, we've all been there. Infants have blowouts. Toddlers knock over bookshelves...

    Hi all!

    Hello, fellow Watterson fans :)

    Does anyone use puppy pads with their rabbits or could suggest other alternatives to newspaper??

    I use puppy pads for my doe who insists on urinating in a specific spot underneath my bed. I keep the door closed during the day, but she sneaks in at night. They'll get chewed (like anything else), but as long as they're not consuming them, it shouldn't be an issue. They also work well...

    Name ideas?

    It looks like he's wearing a rabbit Tudor ruff. I think Ambrose is a Tudor name, so that's my vote.
