I used to pick up the phone, say (or scream) "---- off" and hang up when I got woken up by an unsolicited call at like 9 or 10 am after going to sleep around 6 am... So I've been the rude person on the other end, lol. Unless we're redialing excessively because we have a very limited pool of...

I work for a company that does surveys over the phone (political polls and stuff about legislative proposals that might be on a ballot soon, mostly). The job can be awesome or awful depending on the survey and whether people are amenable to doing one that day... But my boss and co-workers are...

Bigger does make it easier, but the price difference is probably more about the amount of anesthesia required. When Nala had dental work done I was given a detailed quote and told that it could come out to less - if her mouth was easy to navigate she might not have to be under as long, allowing...

I laughed out loud when I read this... specifically because I've been there more than once (or twice)! Man, can rabbits take you on an emotional roller-coaster. Some of them tend to get extremely butt-hurt about change. When I clean out Nala's condo after letting old, strewn-about hay pile up...

I would follow your vet's advice. Cipro is safe for rabbits and a go-to drug for UTIs. I don't know about your country, but in the US you can get probiotics marketed for small animals (at some pet stores, online or in some feed stores/livestock supply stores) - the most prevalent brands here...

Based on context clues, I've always interpreted nose-bonks as a sign of affection. Rabbits are like cats. They're independent and like things on their terms. It's often hard to tell the difference between indifference and love, lol. The difference between them loving you and finding you...

Loose bedding just leads to confusion about litter box habits anyway. Most rabbits are fine on a hard floor; exceptions being if the rabbit develops sore hocks or seems bothered by the slipperiness of the surface. If you want something that gives more traction in some areas, one option is a...

I'm sick and overdue for bed, so my apologies for sort of skimming your post and getting straight to the point... but here's what to avoid/worry about: ~ No glossy paper (like in magazines) ~ No colored ink ~ Remove tape, staples and/or glue from cardboard Plain cardboard, plain/matte paper...

*Hug* GI stasis (lack of appetite/insufficient movement in the gastrointestinal tract which can be caused by any number of ailments) is a swift and brutal killer at times :(. While we've successfully helped rabbits recover from stasis many times, the two rabbits my husband and I have lost over...

I can't offer anything too specific, as I've never had a rabbit that was blind or going blind... but rabbits in general are creatures of habit who appreciate structure and predictability. Routines and steady schedules, that sort of thing. Also, while rabbits normally have keen eyesight...

As others have said, they get over it. Quickly. Treats help. I've had to do many unpleasant things to many animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, sugar gliders, birds, even a turtle) for their own good over the years. Seriously, they get over it. Many of them seem to figure out afterward that the...

*Hug* We've lost two rabbits to GI stasis over the years... one was less than 2 years old; the second one (3.5 yrs old) passed last January 19th. I know exactly what you're going through and just how hard it can be to deal with. It took me a long time and a good bit of paranoia/worry to get...

Adorable! You need to watch out for hormones kicking in and provoking vicious, random fighting once Bean reaches 3-5 mo though. I'd estimate Bean to be more like 6-8 weeks based on size. Baby rabbits get along with everyone but once hormones rear their heads, all bets are off. BOTH rabbits...

Welcome! I would contact local shelters, animal control offices and/or TNR (trap-neuter-release) programs to see if they can loan you a humane trap - that's probably your best bet. In Texas, it's around $75-80 to rent a humane cat trap from a TNR program (you get the money back when you return...

The more info you can give us, the more helpful we can be. Who instigated the fight? Is the area truly 100% neutral? How big is the new area relative to the previous bonding area? Is there anything in particular that led up to the fighting (for my 4 bunns, Alice is the firestarter and...

Ugh. Margie, the co-worker who sits in the halficle (tiny partial cubicle) across from me in the call center, got sick with a cold or sinus infection last weekend... I love her to pieces, but darn it, I hate getting sick! Starting Sat (first day she came in sick) I've been taking 3000 mg of...

Hrm. I wonder why that never crossed my mind?? The employees at the nearby Tractor Supply absolutely *adore* our rabbits; I bet they'd look into it if I asked whether it was possible to have something other than coastal delivered to the store in bale form :).

To be honest, I never gave it much conscious attention... but last night after I responded to this thread, I was snuggling in bed with Alice and at one point she made a particularly loud clicking noise just like what you described. I realized then that I hear that sound every once in a while...

I also buy equine pine from Tractor Supply; $5.99 for 40 lbs and it's infinitely better than carefresh. I *would* buy hay there if they carried timothy in my area, but all they have in Texas is stinky, yellow coastal hay that our rabbits don't particularly like. Feed stores/livestock supply...

A rabbit we had years ago, Norman, would nibble my eyelids and earlobes if he had access to me while I was sleeping. Ridiculous! Seriously, though, wrapping your arms around 3-4 rabbits at once and burying your face in them all and giggling is better than any anti-anxiety medication! Zoning...
