There is a stuffie on amazon that is heated and when you feel it it has a heart beat. You could probably buy this stuffie and rub Mochi's scent on it.. I'm so sorry for your dear Mochi. You and Ptor must be very sad. I'm sure she was a sweetheart!

Starting a feral rabbit rescue, almost all of the females will probably be pregnant. I have not had any personal experience caring for newborn kits and just looking for any sources to help develop my research before we start capturing.

I am so thrilled! Momo had her check up last night and things went great. The doctor said that everything seemed fine from her physical exam, but I opted to have her x-rays taken again to be sure. She's completely better and there's no more mucus in her lungs like before. Her lungs look much...

She's told me! Such a lovely woman, it's great to be in contact with her. Thank you, I will check them out.

She is definitely underweight. You can feel her scapula and hip bones (feels like just a thin layer of skin on top). She was underweight when I rescued her as a feral and she is still young, 7 almost 8 months (estimated) so once she is finished growing to her adult size she might fill out a bit...

Still boney and still underweight. The vet said last time that her GI tract is moving nicely and everything there is healthy so as long as she is eating regularly she doesn't mind her being a bit thin, much better than being obese.

The rescue is to actually minimize their population. The rabbits will be moved into predator-proof housing and will be sterilized. Solving all of the problems they bring as an invasive species. I am leading the expansion of Rabbitats (based in British Columbia) to move to Alberta. They have many...

The only reason I wanted to buy SPS is because they are the only brand I see that offers first, second, and third cut. I wanted third cut for my rabbit because it's supposed to help them gain weight. She also tends to switch her preferences for stalky or soft hay. Loved her second cut timothy...

It's so strange though.. I do give her 2 or 3 smaller piles a day so it can always be fresh. For some varieties of hay, she would eat it one day and stop the next. Assumably trying it out and then deciding she doesn't like it. But for botanical hay, if she smelled me open the bag she would dart...

With how cheap we are able to get hay I think we have room in our budget to buy Oxbow. Thanks! I will keep this brand in mind though.

I feed my pet rabbit Sherwood, but I'm starting a rescue for the ferals and feeding all of them Sherwood is too expensive. Feed stores sell rabbit food for pretty cheap. Does anyone have any favourites? I was looking at Hi-Pro but the nutrition seems to be mediocre. I supposed though when...

I've been buying 10lb boxes of SPS for $45 CAD. A feed store close to me sells a grass mix for $14.75 CAD for 60lbs. I'll probably continue to buy "treat" hays like oat for example.

Started giving her loose hay and she seems to be eating a bit more. Think I will find a bigger sized litter box though, she gets it everywhere! Will probably opt for a hooded one or maybe a larger storage bin.

She's getting just under 1/4 cup of food (8 little scoops equated to 1/4 cup and now I'm feeding her 6) and this is quite a bit because her Sherwood pellets recommend to feed 1/8 to 1/4 for 4-6 pounds. Her last check up three weeks ago she weighed 1.42kg or 3.1 pounds. Still feeding her BOSS...

She's just soo picky! Loves hay the first few days she tries it and then gets sick. At least when I buy from rabbit brands like small pet select or oxbow I can switch the varieties out. I'll try some out though.

Do you think I should get a bigger litter box? She has a standard cat-sized one. I tried loose feeding her hay for a really long time but she would dig through it so it was mixed throughout her litter and then pee all over it... Maybe I'll try taking away the bag again to see if she eats more.

I found a local distributor that sold small pet select. A bit more expensive than what I was paying for Oxbow. When I first switched her over she ate a lot and now she wastes away. Do you think she needs more variety? Why does hay net worry you? It's a twine-like material bag I got at Ikea and...

My girl is currently on two different hays: Third cut timothy and orchard grass. She would not eat much hay and after switching her over to a softer hay she did eat a bit more.. But she's still wasting so much! I'm probably refilling 3x her body size in hay each day. She will remove all of the...

I live in Calgary, Alberta in Canada. There are SO many domestics that are feral now. Years ago people started releasing their rabbits. They repopulated and there are now well over one thousand, maybe even two. I was actually inspired by her and we are starting a rescue to get all of these guys...

So context: My rabbit is completely free roamed in my bunny-proofed room and usually I will leave the door open too so she can go in the hallway and downstairs. I take care of her but I work an 8AM-5PM job, my mom is working from home. She's currently recovering from a lung infection but still...
