Let's not assume that Me and My Bun would desert her rabbit, just because she had to relocate her rabbit to the garage. She really cares about her rabbit, and I believe she would do everything in her power to give her rabbit a good life no matter where her rabbit lives. Any animal, indoor or out...

According to the National Pesticide Information Center, it is safe. They have a fact sheet that you can find if you google "diatomaceous earth scientific research." I don't know anything about this organization, and I have seen claims from pet owners that it is unsafe, but I have seen not...

I was in a situation where I couldn't keep my rabbits inside. When the weather got dangerously hot, I was able to put them in the basement in carriers during the worst part of the day, and return them outside in the evenings when the temperature cooled off. It wasn't idea, but they didn't get...

I have had both outdoor and indoor rabbits. It gets cold in my area and rabbits can handle cold, as long as they are protected from the elements. Rabbits have a hard time handling hot temperatures and can get heat stroke. The best place keep your rabbits depends on where you like to spend your...

I would not put clothes on my rabbits because I believe they would chew them up. I know you can buy bunny diapers from bunnydiapers.com That is something I would consider if I had a disabled rabbit. I know that you can find clothes made for bunnies on Etsy.com You might try clothing made for...

I had a sick rabbit that I used to have to shampoo his bottom. I used "Squeaky Clean critter shampoo" that I bought from the pet store. It is for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and rats and is tearless. I would have to use a blow drier on him to dry him off. Sometimes I took him to the vet and...

There are hard carriers that have an extra door on the top. Those are the easiest to use because it is easy to get a rabbit out of a carrier if you can lift them out.

Claims made by those in the cattle industry say that DE improves digestive health and gives animals a shinier coat. DE also acts as a preservative in feed by absorbing moisture and prevents mold or rot. Only "Food Grade" DE should be used on animals. I found no studies on cattle.

There is a fact sheet by the National Pesticide Information Center, but I can't seem to download it. "In a rabbit study , researchers found no health effects after applying diatomaceous earth to the rabbit's skin five times per week for three weeks. In a rat study, researchers fed rats high...

North American Cottontails can't be domesticated and don't make good pets. I knew some people that kept one as a pet, but it would not allow them to handle it. When it needed a toenail trim, they had to put it in a wire bottom cage and cut the nails from under the cage as the stuck out of the...

No. I used DE by itself. I tried pumpkin seeds, but gave up. I could find no information on how much to use, and what I was giving them did nothing. Since pumpkin seeds are a food source, I wasn't sure if too many would be bad for my rabbits. DE is not a food source, and I could find no...

No, there are no studies that I have found online that support the claim the DE is dangerous to rabbits. DE has been used by farmers for many years to treat animals with good results, and it is sold in farm and garden stores in large bags. It is often mixed if cattle feed. It comes in food grade...

DE can hurt the lungs if inhaled. I used to put it on my rabbit's food, so it wasn't inhaled. I sometimes dampened their greens so it would stick to the food. DE looks like shards of glass under a microscope. When it comes in contact with worms or insects, it cuts them and they die of...

I have a foster dog that needs to be neutered. There is a ban on all elective surgeries so that all masks, gloves, etc. can go to hospitals that need them during this pandemic. Spaying and neutering are elective surgeries, and my dog can not be neutered until this crisis is over. There is plenty...

Years ago I used diatomaceous earth for tape worms and it worked well. At the time I used it, there were no warnings and it was believed to be safe. My rabbits did not have a problem with it, but now there are reports online saying that it is dangerous to give to rabbits.

Surgery is expensive, and no elective surgeries are being done right now, so it is questionable if a vet can even operate. All protective gear used in surgery needs to go to hospitals. I have a male dog that can't get neutered until the covid-19 crisis is over. I had a foster rabbit that injured...

Keep her calm and restrict her movements by putting her in a small cage. Give her time to heal. Don't let her jump up on things. I also think this could be a back injury.

It looks like the hutch has an enclosed box which could be filled with hay or straw. I like how the area around the ramp has an edge on it so straw or hay can be put on the floor without being kicked down the ramp. The rabbit could be moved to an unheated building like a garage or shed for...

Nice!
