I laughed so hard I cried. Poor bunnies! They look so undignified without their coats. At least they've got solidarity going for them; if I had the same mishap it would be one shaven lionhead and three perfectly normal rabbits staring at her wondering what happened :P.

That sucks about inhaling the timothy dust :(... but yeah, you can make an abrupt switch from oat to orchard without any problems.

I talk to them like they're people. Barnaby isn't so bright and I don't think he understands much at all of what I say. Alice understands some but I don't think she pays much attention to me unless it's about food. Harley Quinn is smarter and really listens more than those two; I think she...

Ok, they're all cute, but Opal's sweet little face and charcoal color make me melt! Too gorgeous.

It's safest to wait until after her spay, otherwise you risk fighting when her hormones kick in. It takes 3-4 weeks post spay for a female's hormones to fully dissipate.

Even if they are spayed/neutered, they often use poop to mark new territory.

Due to the severity of the tooth injuries, I'm inclined to side with the others and say that you should get a vet's opinion. The most important thing is to make sure that your rabbit is still eating sufficiently during recovery. I once had a rabbit jump from a scary height. When I looked in...

I forgot to include my advice on being a good girlfriend... Love someone unconditionally for who they are and expect the same in return. Don't try to change them and don't let them change you. Don't be afraid to risk your heart... or to ask for what you want/need. Be considerate. Be willing...

How old is he? Is he neutered? Is it only poop that he leaves outside the box or is it pee, too? It could be hormones if he's unneutered... but the most likely cause is that he's in 100% brand new territory and he's freaking out and feeling the need to mark it all as "his" (especially if it's...

A week and a half is awfully fast compared to most bonds... but some rabbits have a "love at first sight" thing going on. When we adopted Barnaby (aka "big bunny") and Harley Quinn last March, I immediately put them together in our designated bonding area. They got on so well that we never...

I never knew until a few months ago, but banana peels are perfectly safe and often beloved by rabbits! I was also shocked when I wandered across a youtube video of a bunny eating a lemon slice. Two of our four were actually inclined to eat a piece of lemon when I gave it a try (keep in mind...

Wow, you've been through a lot. I remember that thread from back in February, I'm sure I recall posting in it. I'm sorry to hear about the toxic friend you had; so glad you got rid of her and found Bugs! Reminds me of the start of sophomore year of college when my roommate (same one as...

You might also try nature's miracle dander remover. While the majority of our rabbits have never posed a problem, one particular Holland Lop that we had would trigger my husband's allergy symptoms and make both our faces itch if we snuggled her (and I have NO allergies, though I do have an...

The more forbidden it is, the more they want it, lol. I just remembered that when Nala and Gazzles were little, they would come up and drink out of my wine glass when I was sitting on the floor with them. To thwart them, I switched to drinking wine out of something with a straw and lid. They...

A couple things in your post stand out to me - you mentioned your mom being allergic and you mentioned feeding timothy hay. It's extremely rare for someone to be allergic to rabbits. Nearly everyone who thinks they're allergic to the rabbit turns out to actually be allergic to the hay...

Yup! If you're buying from a pet store, you might ask an employee if you can open the bag before you buy it and get a good whiff to make sure it doesn't seem to trigger your allergies the way timothy does - they'd probably oblige once you explain the reason.

He will look for her for a while despite being given time with her body. That's normal. Give him a little extra love and attention and talk to him about what happened (making sure to mention Juniper by name pretty often) - he'll recognize her name and pick up on both sadness and reassurance...

Welcome to RO! Going from grass hay to grass hay is fine (grass to legume (like alfalfa) or vice versa cold turkey can cause digestive upset). Oat hay is popular with bunns and much lower dust than timothy, but you need to be picking out most if not all of the seed heads (the actual oats)...

Weirdest food I ever saw a rabbit eating? Layne (RIP, little guy) knocked over a very tall kitchen trash can, dug through the contents and found a piece of chocolate/peanut butter Easter candy that was wrapped in foil and had been expired for OVER A YEAR. He was eating it foil and everything...

The anesthesia makes them a bit nauseous, causing them to eat less for the first 24h. Metacam/meloxicam is usually not given until after the 24h mark because your bunny should get a painkiller shot at the vet that lasts 24 hours. The metacam/meloxicam shouldn't be given on an empty stomach, so...
