    Argh- rabbits are expensive

    Captured after hiding out underneath the property owner's pick-up truck. Talon wounds in his back. AVoided being killed by a raptor. Someone abandoned this bun. We treated for the parasitic infection and sp/eutered. He now has a forever loving home but it costs money to have a pet. Yup...

    Argh- rabbits are expensive

    Thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars x almost 20 years. Costs since 2003 involve Rescue Efforts to spay and neuter, purchase ex-pens and ample-sized housing needs, provide proper nutrition (not junk fruit-loops feed), access to a hay variety, DVM bills for tooth trims, gut stasis...

    Convince Parents to let me get another rabbit?

    I see so many rehoming posts from persons who aren't thinking of the next 10-14 years as a bun parent. Be sure you are devoted to care of two little or big companions that rely on your wallet, time, affection, and devoted care.

    Struggling to find Timothy hay for a good price!!

    25 lb. boxes of Oxbow have been consistently good lately. Quality can vary. The Rabbit Hole Hay in northern CA receives a 5-star rating from our crew. Expensive. We continually balance the costs of GI stasis vet bill (i.e. fluids, xray, vet exam, worry due to inappetance, suspected fur...

    Bunny death during neutering.

    "What is grief, if not love perservering." Time helps to ease the sorrow (emotional pain and/or regrets) yet we are never the same. We miss them so much.

    New Bunny in home, old bunny upset?

    Spay and neuter. Our newest intake has a neuter appt in the coming weeks. He is kept in a room with two 7 to 8 y.o. buns in their respective private bedroom spaces. He is spraying hubby and myself and putting down marbles everywhere as he romps about spacious areas. Your girl is beautiful...

    Are pet strollers/Pet car seats worth the money?

    If that stroller is in your price range, and it may keep vulnerable furry safe outside while you sip a beverage or pull weeds, and you have room to store, than investing in a bun-safe stroller is a good choice. Some pet carriers have mesh sides and no way would I trust one of our chewers or...

    Cisapride Flavor

    @anthonyaja Thanks for time to reply. Yes, truly a good idea to have cisapride on hand if your DVM will script a supply. I hear you loud and clear about stress of a car ride, or a GI stasis event happening on a holiday or late at night when you aren't going to trek out to an ER clinic. Or...

    Bunny death during neutering.

    @Clem, we all know the pain and it cuts deep. Well-said. The level of grief is equal to the amount of love invested.

    Bunny death during neutering.

    I was glad to have necropsies done on the buns who died for various reasons. No reasons to feel guilt that we did something wrong. Often a twisted liver, liver tumor, torn cecum, less than 1/4th normal lung function created by odor-control bedding ingested, provide peace of mind. Some folks...

    Aggressive bunny

    Spay and establish trust. We have feisty lionhead girl and she is slowly calming down after getting spayed. Slowly adusting to trust by her rabbit-savvy humans. Those d&%* hormones. At the shelter we saw aggressive situations all the time prior to sp/euter. Good advice @KayDai . Any...

    Mr Hoppes went to the bridge.................

    Our lionhead was dumped on a baseball field, and succcessfully captured. She would not have survived long out there. I am softly smiling at your description of mr. biter. Miss (spayed) Sassy Pants is a challenging kiddo, at just about a year. I hope she will mellow as she gets older. We...
