Rabbit emergencies are expensive man, it always pays to be prepared. Insurence or a scratch pay account cuts the cost and risk down, but an emergency anywhere can wipe you out fast. A broken leg, severe infection, GI stasis... the minimum I always expect for a minor emergency is $300 (in all...

I would say to follow the vet's advice... health trumps ideal social situation in my books. Especially if there is any risk this is contagious. You can, however, find a way to separate where they aren't totally separate, so to speak. Perhaps using side by side x-pens so they can see and slightly...

How could I ever choose!? I think the series I frequently loop back to is probably the Sight by David Clement-Davies or Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins, or best of all the Monstromologist by Rick Yancy! TPBM what is your favorite book series (great question, ought to be asked again!)

In the US the only vaccine that I currently know of that is even slightly approved is the RHDV2 vaccine, which is only available in some regions right now, although will likely become more widespread soon. Globally there are vaccines for RHDV 1 & 2, as well as myxomatosis, however, none of...

I would HIGHLY recommend spaying and neutering, it tends to greatly improve rabbits' general behavior, prevents conditions that could crop up later in life, and is necessary if you were ever to consider getting a second rabbit as a bond. I tend to feel that the earlier you can get it done, the...

Okocat litter might be what you're looking for, I know it's paper and recycled. Another common one used on here is Yesterday's News

We are failing you by taking so long to remember Buniccula!

Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to Sleep... kids' book about a brother and sister bunny named Willa and Willoughby... It is ridiculously cute! More abstractly, Of Mice and Men, which I quote to my rabbits at least once a week

The "for Dummies" series in general are awesome, although the name can seem a little off-putting. They can teach you pretty much anything in a way that the total layman can understand. I like to behave as if I'm a "dummie" whenever I start something new because once you have an ego about what...

There are actually some pretty decent methods to rabbit-proof carpet if the carpet is the only deterrent to free roam. The method I used was getting a large (9'x9') flat woven area rug to cover 90% of the carpet and then placing "wood" linoleum tiles on the edge to prevent any access to the...

I have known a lot of animals whose quality of life greatly increased following an amputation, as the pain associated with a limb that needs to go is often very hard on them. Most quadrupeds adjust to being tripods very well. I'm so glad the little guy had a successful surgery! Also, on the...

While I have lots of favorite toys and things for the kids (the best is the outdoor play area and the stuffed toys I got each the day I brought them home), my favorite thing from my rabbits is a little carved wooden pine tree that my mom asked a friend of hers to make out of our beloved rabbit...

Gallimimus (unless I'm wrong) is a species of bipedal dinosaur. My hometown has one of the largest collections of dinosaur remains in the US, I'm always down to talk dinosaurs! TPBM has been to Yellowstone National Park

I am so sorry about Lucas. You gave her so much love ❤ ❤ ❤

Guilty as charged! I've been a bit overwhelmed by school and work, although the hard work has paid off and I won one of my university's outstanding research awards this year, so I'm pretty stoked! TPBM prescribes traits to their rabbits that they know aren't possible (I like to think Willa...

I had to be at class when the fire department was checking the fire alarms in my building and I felt terrible, they were probably miserable. And they would've been miserable regardless of where I was because that sound is awful. But at the end of the day, they were just fine, maybe a little...

I'm so sorry to hear about Lümi! You loved him so much and gave him such a loving home. While your time was not nearly long enough, I'm certain Lümi enjoyed every second he had with you. Rest in peace little hopper

I am so sorry for your loss, it sounds like she died surrounded by dear rabbity friends and green grass, a rabbit's paradise.

I would talk to the parents first and foremost... Some nine-year-olds need a lot of guidance in order to be a compassionate home. I was a roughly the same age when I got my first bunny and my dad made me earn it. I had to read three books on rabbits and give him a PowerPoint presentation on...
