I am so sorry for your loss, she was a beautiful bunny and very loved. From what I've read, it sounds like you did everything right. You were in regular communication with a vet, you promptly sought treatment for the issues which developed, you followed vet advice, and had supplies on hand...

That looks like a Holly to me, the snub nose tends to be the sign that differentiates them the most to me, as well as how the ears sit. Sablesteel has the best eye and really knows their stuff, I'm just speculating based on traits. He's adorable, congrats on your new friend!

It wouldn't be considered an adoption, the phrase I would use is a rehoming. That being said, it is still a rabbit in need of a home where the goal of the seller is not to make money. Rescuing a pregnant rabbit wouldn't make you a breeder either, although it would certainly be a more challenging...

What a gentleman! I didn't really notice any real behavior changes in my buns after the spay (although I only met Foxwell right after his neuter) I didn't see any hormone spikes or anything like that. He was a total nut, not hormonal, just the physical form of constant movement. I don't even...

Those are adorable names! I'm so glad you found names that fit your darling little friends!

Even if it were possible, the bunnies would have miserable lives plagued with problems and pain. They simply aren't designed to be that way. Typically the healthiest breeds tend to keep as close to natural variation in rabbits as possible. You start seeing issues in the breeds with a predominant...

While I don't have any name suggestions that specifically match, I tend to name my rabbits after book or movie characters or historical figures that fit the personality they have. Since my bunnies are co-owned by my sister and me to ensure they always have a safe place to live, we named them...

I'm so sorry to hear that they didn't make it. You took very good care of them while they were here.

At a glance that isn't looking like a scab that would be a result of mites. Location and size-wise it does look perhaps like a bite from another bunny that was chasing him. I do stand that given the rabbit hemorrhagic virus going around you should certainly still quarantine him from any other...

I'm pretty sure that's one of the Oxbow play wall things... they are totally meant to be destroyed. My rabbits love the Oxbow toys. He should be completely fine if the toy is what I think it is.

Congrats on the new bunny! Would you mind posting a pic of the scab? As you've said there could be a lot of possible causes for such a scab and a picture may help us narrow down a possible cause. I would quarantine him from any other bunnies you have, to play it safe for mites as well as the...

I would hold off on even considering getting a friend for your rabbit until he is neutered. Adopting a baby rabbit actually has much less of a chance of turning into a successful bond than trying to bond a spayed/neutered adult with your rabbit. The baby could bond at first but would have to...

Amputation seems like a major step for treating arthritis, especially in an 8-year-old rabbit who will be under increased risk when going under anesthesia. I'm not sure a vet ought to make such a drastic claim before even seeing an X-ray to confirm what the problem with the leg itself is...

Not all options are available to all people, you sound like you are doing the best you can with what you have. While none of us currently on this site are veterinarians, we can do our best to help you from afar taking into account the resources you have. I'll ask a few questions to see if we...

I don't think you necessarily have to settle one way or another. Lots of rabbits intended for darker fates end up at shelters and rescues, so if adopting a rabbit who is less traditionally desirable (such as a rabbit raised for meat) is important to you, you could still operate through a...

Give him a little more time. A lot of rabbits are not very impressed by hay when they get tasty treats and are full all the time. Try offering him very limited pellets and no treats with the best hay in the batch you have. He will cave once he's actually hungry. I have one slightly pickier...

I'm so sorry about Eclipse. Sometimes things go wrong and there is nothing we can do to fix it. You gave her some much love and I'm sorry you didn't get more time together.

It's also not the worst thing in the world if your rabbit never becomes one of those super-cuddly, love-all-the-time rabbits. Those rabbits are awesome too. My rabbits treat me more like friendly roommates than the center of the universe and we have the most wonderful life together Willa came...

Rabbits that were raised for meat can make wonderful pets. I've found that personality in rabbits has very few definitive predictive factors. Some rabbits that were raised and bred as pets don't have a very great temperament for it, just like some meat rabbits. Larger rabbits tend to be more...

I tend to hear about diatomaceous earth being recommended the most for insect repellent around rabbits. It is a naturally occurring substance that does not run the risk of inflaming the respiratory system as essential oils can.
