Urg, Firefox ate my post!! Well, starting over I guess - hope I don't forget anything! Before she blew her juvie coat at 6-7 mos, my lionhead looked double-maned. Your rabbit, based on the pics, has *significantly* less mane than my single-maned lionhead (now 7 yrs old). Maybe it's the...

Welcome! Rabbits are an *excellent* treatment for anxiety and depression! I posit the thought that watching a rabbit munch on leafy greens is better than Xanax, lol. There's something very cathartic about the crunching and munching as they go back and forth over a huge leaf in a typewriter...

Don't feed that to your rabbit unless perhaps you pick out JUST the pellets to give him. While some brands of rabbit pellets contain corn or even seeds, those are both REALLY big no-nos for rabbits - they can't digest that stuff and it can lead to serious problems.

She looks young(ish)... 5-7 mos doesn't sound inaccurate. Definitely not a lionhead, though. She's REW (red-eyed white), which I believe basically translates to albino; multiple breeds can fall into that category. More info can be found here. Unfortunately, rabbits are often attracted to pee...

It's ok! There's not a way to delete your post/thread, so you're not overlooking anything! Only moderators can do that.

He drives me absolutely insane sometimes, but I wouldn't trade him for the world! We've been through hell and back (especially leading up to his diagnosis of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia last spring when he had to be hospitalized twice, among other turmoils we've faced (like living in a...

My only experience with enteritis was with a sugar glider who was straining to poop and making a lot of noise like he was in pain... metacam (pain meds) and baytril (antibiotic) cleared it up pretty quickly (though the way the vet explained it to me was that there was inflammation inside his...

How much time does she spend inside the cage vs outside it? If she's in there a lot, you might consider making an attached run with an x-pen. I have this one; it's the best deal I could find on the super tall kind that a) has a door for me to go through so I don't have to climb over and b)...

If you're using pine pellets for bedding like most folks do, they suck the pee down to the bottom anyway so the screen strikes me as totally pointless unless you've got a digger on your hands. If you're going to use one of the two, my vote would be for the grate, otherwise you're going to have...

Normal work hours for me are 4 pm - 12 am Mon-Thurs and 2 pm - 11 pm on Sun (no shift on Friday)... but the optional Saturday shift is 10 am - 6 pm. 10 am doesn't sound so bad until you realize you have to set your alarm at 8:30 in order to have time to shower, eat breakfast, get ready and make...

I'm so sorry for your losses! That's absolutely heartbreaking :(. It's a freak occurrence, though - there's certainly no way you could've seen this coming. You made the best decisions you could for your bunnies based on the information you had available, which is all any of us can do. When...

I love the look in Bambi's eye there, like she just got caught eating whiskers :P.

Ignore where it said Barbie instead of Barnaby, lol... Speech-to-text mishap while lazily posting from my phone!

Rabbits molt twice a year - two light molts and two heavy. The heavy molts are when they grow the summer and winter coats... "heavy" means that their entire coat is shed and regrown. The molts happen over time, making it seem like rabbits shed an awful lot of the time.

She's reaching the age where hormones could be kicking in (3-5 mos for females), which could make her more volatile in general (think human teenage girl), so that may be part of it. Either way, at that age, I would firmly but gently insist on the grooming. When my Nala was a baby, she had mane...

This is the face of someone who eats whiskers. I recently noticed some short whiskers on one side of Barnaby's face and I was a little bit concerned but I thought maybe Harley just got overzealous about grooming and they'd grow back... But last night when I had them out, I noticed that ALL of...

Some Hays tend to provoke more allergies than others. I've heard many times of someone being allergic to timothy and finding relief by switching to orchard grass, for example.

Well, it's my blog and I don't think it's crossing the line... So hopefully that suffices. I had a guy one time repeatedly make me jump through hoops as he tested to make sure I was not a robot. I feel like he's very misinformed about how sophisticated AI is these days, given the depth to...

A few rabbits *really* do best with a companion. A few rabbits are absolutely dug-in, adamantly against having a rabbit friend. Most rabbits, though, can happily go either way. We have one bonded pair and two solo rabbits. The main thing the solo rabbits seem to need from me that the pair...

All horse quality grass hay is acceptable for adult rabbits (as opposed to "cow quality" which can contain mold or legume hays like alfalfa). https://images.google.com/ can be used to look up pictures in order to find similar pictures online. I've never used it before, so I don't have much...
