    Leaving bunny home

    We will be gone Tuesday afternoon to Friday afternoon. Our 4 month old bun will be in his 6 x 4 exercise pen. We’ve asked my Mom to come every morning and evening to do things like replace water, add hay, pellets, rotate his toys. Other than us not being home the difference for him will be not...

    Cages

    It’s clear from the article that bunnies are the writer’s business and source of income therefore ease of care, cost, space, time are likely a driving factor in decisions like housing. View an animal as a commodity vs a pet and you’re going to make different decisions about their care (and find...

    Cecotrophs

    Small pet select sells a combo box of hay that’s a mix of 75% Timothy & 25% Alfalfa. I’ve been giving to my bun since we have him, he’s 4mos now so he eats both. Maybe you could create your own mix if you already have alfalfa so he gets some Timothy and that will make the transition away from...

    Give them a call as I believe the pricing varies by state!

    2020 Indoor Cages... add your photo!

    So today we decided to start transitioning Silver out of his cage. We took the top portion off and kept the bottom portion the same for him for consistency! I think he was a little confused, but so far doesn’t seem mad about it. Fingers crossed!

    Marking Couch

    I need a Saturday appointment because of work, so I need to wait until mid-November for his well visit. Hopefully scheduling the neutering won’t be too long after (although his bits haven’t yet made an appearance)

    Marking Couch

    He’s fast so if we’re not looking he’s up there so fast! I will try the blanket idea first, I’ll put his fleece blanket in his pen and then on the couch! I’m nervous to try the litter pan, my kids might knock it over! But I will if the blanket doesn’t work! Thanks

    Marking Couch

    Our netherland dwarf bunny is just under 4 months. He’s been litter trained since we’ve got him at 9 weeks other than the random poop in his pen here and there. The last few weeks we’ve been keeping his pen open about 15 hours a day he goes in and out without issue. Then he discovered the couch...

    Redoing Remy's Nightime Cage!

    Never mind! Understood!!!

    Redoing Remy's Nightime Cage!

    Nice! IF it won’t mess with his litter habits you could try turning the litter tray the other way so he can run back and forth the full length of the cage. My guy loves to zoom at full speed around his cage even when it’s open and he has a whole room!

    Maybe I’ll just wait then at least until he’s been neutered! We’ve been lucky this far with his litter habits! Also I understand I might need to restrict his movement for a day or so post-op?? The cage might be helpful for that.

    Why a rabbit is NOT a good child’s pet !

    Nationwide, to my knowledge they are the only carrier to have a plan that fully covers Rabbits. The price differs by state I’m in NYC probably one of the most expensive areas, it’s $42 a month. They also offer another option that does not include wellness which is much cheaper, I believe it was...

    2020 Indoor Cages... add your photo!

    Here’s Silver’s current set up. His cage is 2ft x 4ft then he has a 4ft x 4ft pen area. His cage is always open so he has access to the pen. His pen is open about 15 hours a day on average. One thing I feel like we don’t NEED his cage but do you think will he be upset if I take it away? He used...

    I N S U R A N C E !

    Right now I have their whole pet plan, I find it to be quite pricey but it’s my first year, I will need to pay for a wellness visit and neutering (plus the testing prior) if I squeeze in an extra well visit at the end of the year and have no emergencies (knock wood) I should about break even...

    Why a rabbit is NOT a good child’s pet !

    No child (with rare exception) should be given any pet with the idea that they will take full responsibility for it. Even fish can require more than most children can handle! Our FAMILY (which includes a 5&4 yo) has a bunny and I think they make wonderful pets. Parents need to go into the...

    Rabbit Water Intake

    I’m not sure how much my bunny weighs, we don’t have our first vet appointment until Nov. he’s a 3.5 mos old netherland dwarf. He drinks 1/2 cup per day. I measure how much I put in his bowl and what’s left. I change it every morning.

    Why Thump All Night??

    Could be a mouse in the wall? A neighbor’s pet or sound coming from a neighbor’s apartment? Animal outside?

    Doesn’t like to be picked up

    I’ve tried several ways to pick up my rabbit he starts to kick and wiggle to the point I don’t want him to hurt himself however I have found some success in moving him in his pen with a technique shared with me on a bunny parents page. Imagine your bunny in a loaf position. He’s already...

    Doesn’t like to be picked up

    Thanks for sharing this most videos I have found feature rabbits who are clearly already comfortable with being handled and it’s all just about proper support and hand placement techniques! Our bunny is young and not at all comfortable being picked up yet. I understand he may never love it, but...
