You could try picking up an Ikea Hol, cutting a couple entrances, and filling it with newspaper, towels, beds, or what have you. The Hol wood material is very chew-friendly, making the enclosure a good hideaway, contained digging station, and chew toy :) Small Pet Select in the US makes some...

Has he gone from youth to adulthood during this time? He may also believes he owns you and you're always there for him, so he seeks additional attention from others. Hmm... my buck has never once snuggled up in my arms, but he'll climb me like a mountain if I have a treat. Maybe your little...

Caring for any living being requires responsibility (some more than others!), but I find my house rabbits to be the opposite of stressful. I may worry about stuff sometimes -- introducing a new room or living space, one of them acting a little "off", the store not having all the greens they...

My buck sometimes grunts at me when taking a treat out of my hand. It's a certain type/brand, and it's his favorite food in the world. He tries to crawl up my leg when I have one, and he'll follow me around the house when he knows it's time to get a treat. I think his grunting is kind of like a...

I put ant poison around the outside walls when I start noticing them inside. When they're inside, I quaranteen off the area and put safer inside bait traps out. Once the ants are gone (2-3 weeks), I thoroughly clean and open it back up to the rabbits.

I buy clearance/sale rugs from Meijers. Christmas/New Year's time is the best time for sales there, as they're getting rid of the previous year's designs.

I second this. My buck will lounge in the middle of the hallway and make me step over him, but my doe is very flighty. I've found that calling out (e.g., "hey, guys! comin' in!" or something) make my doe more comfortable, as she knows (1) someone's coming around the corner/into the room, and...

I like books, too, so I'll butt in here :) My favorite general book is Marit Buseth's Rabbit Behavior, Health, and Care.

My buck will beg for a second treat with one already in his mouth. Or steal the doe's treat with his in his mouth and run off with both. And he pretty much ignores me completely unless I have treats. Or I crinkle a bag. Or I say the word "treat" out loud. Or it's around 10pm when he's scheduled...

It's considered "weird" by laypeople because in our society, rabbits are considered "lower" animals, and not housepets in the way that cats and dogs are regarded. The purpose of this board, and people like us who understand and respect rabbits, is to slowly change society's incorrect view of...

I can only speak for house rabbits, but my answer is yes. Heck, the hay part alone is high maintenance, lol. These little guys need space for hopping & exploring, require special exotic (as defined in the US) medical care, have a varied diet (hay, pellets, greens), and most of all, they have...

Univerisity is important for your future, so I agree that you should focus on that over working part-time jobs while studying. My biggest recommendation is to buy in bulk if possible (and if you have space). Although you spend more at one time, the price per unit can be significantly lower and...

I follow the way 101rabbits (YouTube) does hers: wash, dry, roll up in paper towls, & store in containers in the fridge. I go through a lot of paper towels, but they usually last a full week. (I used a minifridge throughout college. Those things don't work nearly as well as full-size...

This was actually a hard question to anwer for me. Technically, my city (Kentwood) is ~50k, but it's part of a larger city (Grand Rapids) of ~200k; half my mail lists one city, and half lists the other (for some reason I have yet to figure out). The Grand Rapids metro area is just over 1M. I...

Rabbits love areas under beds and couches. I got my living room furniture before I got rabbits, so I had to improvise with NIC grids around the couch & loveseat. For the bed, I had to get a cheap rug that fit underneath (the entire bed; small rugs just got chewed). My buck sleeps under the bed...

Once caveat: Don't put the planter outside or on your deck to get some sun and rain. I did that a couple years ago for just a few days, then brought the planter back inside for the buns. When I went to feed them breakfast the next morning, I noticed something odd with the window. I looked...

I literally grow grass in a long planter inside. I use the same grass seed I have for my yard outside. Since there's fertilizer in that kind of stuff, I always give it 4-6 weeks to grow so the rabbits aren't digging in the dirt. (Now that I see Blue Eye's wire mesh things, I might try that.) I...

I bet Blue Eyes would have some cool pics. Not sure I have anything really good, but I do have a bun-on-the-couch pic, a bun-on-the-stairs pic, and bun-in-the-coffee-table pic.

Both of my house rabbits nibble on the bottom of my pants on occasion. Even if it's not hard, they'll put a hole in them pretty easily. My solution was to not wear nice pants in the house.

My buck thinks he owns the house and runs things around here, so when he nudges me, it means, "Get of my way, lowly human! I'm gettin' important stuff done around here and you're in the way again!" When my doe nudges me, it can mean a couple things. If I'm in her path, it means, "Hello. Move...
