    Teaching a rabbit to jump over obstacles?

    Chew.com has a Kitty Holster Cat Harness that might fit. Look for cat harness, instead of rabbit harness and you will have better luck.

    Teaching a rabbit to jump over obstacles?

    My rabbit are about 5 pounds and I have had problems finding any to fit. When I did find a couple of them, I was greatly disappointed. My rabbits were able to slip out of those very easily, especially if the fabric was a smooth material. The agility class that I was going to recommend "H" harnesses.

    Teaching a rabbit to jump over obstacles?

    I have two rabbit that did agility, but everything is closed now because of covid-19. Leash training takes time, and it looks like you know what to do to start. One of my rabbits didn't like the leash. When I got to the point where I could put it on her, she only wore it for about a few minutes...

    Outside Bunny Essentials

    I think one of the biggest threats to outdoor rabbits is the snow. Rabbits can play in the snow as long as they have plenty of straw or hay to dry off in. When the snow begins to melt and it is wet and cold, that is when it gets dangerous to let your rabbits play in snow. Wet, cold rabbits can...

    Critical Care Help

    Usually you can skip the Critical Care if your rabbit is eating. It would be best to call the vet and ask.

    Alf coming home from dental 2 teeth extracted.

    I am happy that Alfie is doing so well. I don't understand why your vet would need to do x-rays after the work was done. My vet never had rechecks. I was just told to call if there was a problem. I had a senior rabbit that had to go in frequently for dental work. He was a foster, so the rescue...

    Alf coming home from dental 2 teeth extracted.

    I had several rabbits that have had dental work done. For extractions, metacam was prescribed, but I often quit using it after the first day or two. I think Kellyann is right about stomach upset, especially if the rabbit is not eating. Some vets also prescribed metoclopramide to get their gut...

    HELP! One of my rabbits ate a dried up ZZ(Zanzibar gen)

    If you Google "pet poison control" you will find at least 3 different Poison Control numbers you can call for help. I have never tried any of these, but if this were my rabbit, that is what I would do. The ASPCA poison hotline is: 800-426-4435

    My Netherland Dwarf bunny refuses to let me pick her up

    I have taken rabbits to senior homes for years. I teach my rabbits to get into a cat bed. Once in the bed, I can pick up the rabbit, bed and all. With something under them, rabbits feel more secure, and I don't have problems with them. The bed keeps fur from getting on clothing and also keeps...

    Are the 101 Rabbits fruity balsa blocks good?

    I have never found any flavored wood toys that my rabbits have liked, but these blocks have good reviews on every site that I found them on. If you try them, let us know how if your rabbit likes them.

    Curly rabbit fur????

    Astrex, or curly fur is a gene mutation. It is usually found in mini rex rabbits. I am sure other rabbits can have that same mutation, but it is rare. I it once on another site in a New Zealand rabbit. You can try doing a search on this site and you can read about curly rabbits. Curly hair is...

    My rabbit's breed?

    Ideal weight for a standard Rex is 7.5 to 10.5 lbs. Your rabbit isn't that much over ideal weight, so he could easily be pure Rex. It would not be that unusual for a rabbit to be a little over or under ideal weight. It is also possible that your rabbit could have something mixed in. If you...

    Neighbor's rabbit is hurt and in very bad condition, How to help ?

    Maybe you could find a little book on rabbit care to give to them, or print off some articles from rabbit web sites on rabbit care. Giving them information on rabbit care might go over better than pointing out what they are doing wrong. Their frustration with the rabbit probably stems from their...

    Jumping Out of Arms

    I do pet therapy and I put my rabbit in a cat bed and pick up the rabbit, bed and all. A rabbit feels more secure with something under them and you won't get scratched. It also helps to keep the shedding hair off of you. When someone wants to hold one of my rabbits, I put the rabbit in their lap...

    What is your bunny named and why?

    This is my rabbit Downy. He was named Down by his foster mother when he was a bunny because his ears point down. He had two other brothers. One brother was named Uppp and the other brother was named Updown.
