I buy Oxbow Orchard Grass Hay on line at Chewy.com where it is sold in 50 pound boxes. It is expensive but it is hand sorted, so there is less waste to it, a and I can count on good quality every time. It costs a little over $60 unless you get autoship. Orchard Grass is less expensive than...

You can find Sunblock Shade Cloth on Amazon. They are mesh tarps made for dog kennels. They work great for putting up shade. A regular tarp can heat up and hold the heat in, but these breath because they are mesh. If the sun hits the top of the cage, you can get a piece of styrofoam insulation...

It takes time to bond with a rabbit, so be patient. The last rabbit I got, it took a couple of months before she bonded with me.

No, rabbits do not pant. Rabbits normally breath fast, but if they are breathing heavy, it is most likely a sign of stress.

So sorry for your loss.

I have had problems getting good hay last year, so now I get my hay from Chewy.com. I get Oxbow Orchard grass. It is very expensive in bags from the store. I get it in a 50 pound bale from Chewy, and it is still expensive compared to buying it from a farm, but cheap compared to a pet store. I...

I am so sorry that you are going through this. My parents were like your mother when I was growing up. I doubt that you can change your mother. My way of dealing with it was to find things I could do outside with my pets (I had pet ducks). Perhaps you can fence in an area around your rabbit cage...

This is Flower, a mini rex, and Herbie, netherland dwarf.

If he tolerates being petted, you could try using a grooming mitt.

Rabbits can have teeth problems at any age, but with the rabbits that I have had, it usually started around the age of 3.. One of my rabbits recently stopped eating. Since there was no bloating, I was sure it had to be his teeth. The emergency vet couldn't see anything wrong with his teeth. I...

Rex rabbits come in two sizes. The Mini Rex is usually under 5 pounds, and the Standard Rex is usually between 7 and 11 pounds.

When you get a rabbit from a rescue, most time they don't really know what the breed is, so they just make a guess. Harlequin is both a breed and a color. The harlequin color has been bred into rabbits of different breeds, and like LadyGray suggests, it could be a rex with harlequin coloring, or...

My mini lop cross Downy has a new habit of chewing up his plastic litter boxes. He has hay, wood toys and tree branches to chew on, but he attacks his litter box. Yesterday he stopped eating. There were shreds of plastic all over the floor from him destroying his litter box. I was worried he...

I used to foster rabbits for a rescue. Some were so inbreed that they had to have expensive dental work done often. Others were feral and I could not trust them not to bite. I would often discourage people from adopting from me. Sorry the rescues did not reach out to you, but if they did not...

Your rabbit is adorable! Two of my rabbits, a Harlequin Lop mix and a Netherland Dwarf came from the Humane Society. Both of them were strays. My Mini Rex came from a rescue organization. She was abandoned in a park, left in her carrier. My albino Holland Lop mix came from another rescue. His...

I used to buy Purina Complete or Manna Pro in bulk. These foods worked well for my elderly rabbits that had a hard time eating, because they are alfalfa based and higher in calories. People on this site told me that alfalfa pellets are not good because they have too much calcium, and rabbits...

Very cute rabbit. Good job!

Start with a smaller area, like a playpen. When he does well in the playpen, enlarge his area. When he does well in that area, you can give him more space. Rabbits mark their area with their poop, so he might always leave some poop, but he should get better.

I have had several rabbits with teeth problems. I think you should stick with the rabbit savvy vet. If your rabbit has a good quality of life, it probably isn't time to let him go. It looks like you are doing a good job of controlling his pain. My rabbit was 12 when I put him to sleep. He would...

It is good that people know what the risks are when leash walking their rabbit. Once someone makes up their mind that using a leash is what they are going to do, I think it is best to give some information on how to do it safely so that their rabbit doesn't get hurt. It is kind of like telling...
