    Weight gain

    thank you! currently he gets 2tbsp, should i up it by 1tbsp? i've seen a few of my mutuals on tiktok use pumpkin w/ their pellet free rabbits for weight gain. not a daily item but a few times per week. i also read up on it: https://www.rabbitcaretips.com/can-i-feed-rabbits-pumpkin/...

    Weight gain

    My senior rabbit has been having some health issues (not rlly gonna get into it on this post) but he went to the vet and they said while he's not underweight he's a little on the thin side. I would like him to gain a little before he gets surgery and am currently looking into good foods for...

    Sand for rabbits

    personally, I think sand is fine for a rabbit as long as you monitor them at first. It's not like they're in the dig box 24/7. I haven't found any studies linking sand to respiratory issues, it seems to be something that's just spread on forums. I'm not saying it's not true but a lot of things...

    Dollar Tree Toys

    yea honestly some of the plastic toys and even the litter boxes are a bit chewed, she's trying her best but ik they're bored (cages are all around 9 ish sq ft or larger and they get exercise once a week bc there's so many rabbits) i'll probably ask her about the toys to double check but i didn't...

    Dollar Tree Toys

    I wanted to potentially get the bunnies at the shelter some toys from the dollar tree (as i can order by the case and it'll be cheaper), but would these items be safe, the descriptions are a bit vague. (one i've seen in store but can't find on the site, but i found it on hobby lobby just marked up)

    pellets, bedding, etc?

    thank you! no i have another male so i doubt a bond would work, apparently he has a very high risk of testicular cancer, which i have never heard of, i get there's a chance but it's not high she's still great and all ig it's ok to be on the side of caution but they're more opinion based than...

    pellets, bedding, etc?

    I recently started volunteering at a rabbit rescue, the woman who runs it has told me the oxbow garden select brand is bad and to switch to essentials, but i'm very reluctant to switch as i prefer the ingredients in garden select. she says the oat hulls in the pellet is bad for rabbits and...

    it's a bit small but since she's a baby it'll be fine till she's a litter bigger everything else sounds good tho! nice job!

    great! i would recommend a larger litter box (like a cat one) as it's easier for the bunnies to fit inside and fit hay in are you using both a water bottle and bowl, if not i would add a bowl also cat toys are great but i would also suggest some wooden and cardboard ones!

    Is Sand Safe?

    I want to provide a dig box for my rabbits using children's play sand (soil would be too messy as they're indoor and shredded paper would make it be used as a litter box) I see there's quite a divide between some saying it's safe and others saying it causes uri and impaction What are your...

    get either an xpen or a cage as i see you're getting mixed responses, whatever works best for your situation, the cages i linked and the one you're looking at will work fine as long as the rabbit gets playtime, but an xpen will work just as well

    x-pens are gonna be your cheapest option- https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/animaze-adjustable-exercise-black-pen-for-dogs IRIS 4-Panel Plastic Exercise Dog Playpen with Door, Dark Gray, 24-in - Chewy.com (you would need the mesh roof for this one as well) other options- dog...

    if you can only get one i would try looking at shelters for bunnies who cannot be bonded (some bunnies have trauma and can't be bonded bc of past experience). if the bunny is going to be free roam 24/7 i wouldn't get a cage at all to save money but if they will be locked in sometimes the cage...

    u yes perfect ! thank you!!!!

    Cage Studies

    I know we have the common minimums (8,12,16sq ft) but does anyone know any studies they could link on the correlation between cage size and behavior in rabbits. Many of the ones I'm finding aren't very conclusive or include a multitude of factors besides enclosure size. Maybe even a study...

    Survey

    Cage size is a touchy subject but not everyone can free roam. this provides a solution. 12sq ft is The Rabbit House recommendation and backed by Dana M. Krempels
