Welcome! When you say "grimy eyes" do you mean little eye boogies like humans sometimes get when they're sleeping... and if so, is he a solo rabbit (not part of a bonded pair)? We have one pair and two solo rabbits - the pair never have little eye boogies because they groom each other but with...

Cats and rabbits both, lol! Many years ago, I coined the term "thwartation device" to describe things I cobbled together using scrap lumber and other household items. I made a 1' tall holder with long "feet" for stabilization that I could put the kitchen trash can in so that cats and rabbits...

I PM'd you earlier, lol... saw some pics of her from other angles that you'd uploaded... she and our Alice could be body doubles!

I'm gonna be lazy and copy/paste from a post I made in another thread earlier tonight... it's my method for creating cuddle-bunnies that has worked on a wide variety of personality types. With a bonded pair, I spend individual time with each of them on a regular basis - a little "mommy and me"...

What a horrible situation! When you're a "kid" and you know an adult is flat-out wrong but they have all the power, it's incredibly frustrating. I agree with everyone else about gathering as much evidence and information as you can (even if it's just documenting your recollections of what...

I wouldn't leave them together unsupervised, as even a surface scratch or small puncture from a bite can lead to a fatal infection (even with aggressive vet treatment) due to the toxins on a cat's claws and in their saliva (as a cat owner, I'm sure you've received an accidental scratch at times...

When she puts her head down, is she facing the male? If so, that's rabbit speak for "groom me!!" How long have you been bonding them? How large of a bonding area are you using and is it "neutral" (neither one has ever been in that area unless they were both in it)? If possible, can you post...

I don't actually know of any low-cost options, as we've gotten our rabbits from shelters (other than Nala, who was spayed by my vet when I still lived in San Antonio)... but I definitely know about exotics vets in Houston! I was happy with the (emergency) care received at Gulf Coast Veterinary...

You can also let mom and kits have some alfalfa hay in addition to the orchard. How much fruit are you giving, by the way? Shouldn't be more than 1 tsp per 2 lbs body weight per day maximum (and most people don't give it every single day). Kits are at the age where they're going to start...

Rabbits *can* have cabbage... but some rabbits are much more prone to gas problems from it than others. Most of our rabbits eat cruciferous things like kale on a regular basis, but I had a rabbit once who had a couple gas-related bouts with GI stasis so I didn't let her have any and kept...

Whoops, strike that about collard and turnip greens... I forgot that those are on the cruciferous list too! I do feed those and kale pretty often, though - around 2-3 big leaves shouldn't cause a problem as long as your rabbit isn't particularly sensitive.

Usually they chew stuff up into very tiny bits that can pass through their digestive system without issue. Like Hermelin said, encourage a lot of hay eating (maybe even cut back on pellets for a day or two so more hay is eaten); also make sure your rabbit is drinking lots of fresh water. The...

Based on the last picture, it looks like you're on the second floor or higher? Rabbits aren't stupid. Even if yours gets through all the barricading (which looks sufficient to me), he shouldn't have any interest in trying to make the jump down! Cats, maybe - their bodies are designed for...

Red *is* within the normal color spectrum for rabbit urine, though it's less common. Most often, it's caused by something they've eaten (plant pigments). This site has a good article about it. As long as the red stuff is definitely urine, there's no cause for concern as it's completely...

The black spots look like normal skin to me, at least in the pictures. I don't see anything that looks indicative of mites, fleas (or their poop) or skin irritation but I do see thinning fur in general, even in non-bald areas. My bet is still on over-grooming. How big of a space have they...

There's some chance your rabbit sits in it because it's easier to get hay out that way, since the bars are somewhat close together. I used a dremel to cut bigger gaps (and sand down any remaining burrs) in something similar to make my mangers. The rabbits appreciate being to stick their whole...

The color is within the normal range for pee, but it's an awfully small spot to be pee. It's possible that it's some sort of ******l discharge, which unfortunately would most likely be indicative of uterine cancer. At this point, all you can really do is provide palliative care and try to get...

Ridiculously photogenic! Mine like to ruin the shot, like they know my camera has a slow shutter speed...

Ah, I didn't realize you'd already tried to correct her :(. Unfortunately, we're in Texas so I can't be of any help here. The only other thing I can think of that you might do is call around to shelters and animal rehabs and see if any of them would be willing to take the bunny family in and...

You couldn't edit because too much time had passed ;) I don't have any experience with this particular issue, but if it were me I would start with a follow-up phone call to your vet, especially since you trust him to be rabbit-savvy. Let him know that some have gotten smaller but some are the...
