My roommate brings Pokey into his bedroom every day for personal cuddle/play time with him. (He does this with Gus, too, but Gus is more attached to me, so I am the one who takes him out to play one-on-one more often.) She's done this for a long time with no problems, but recently she's started...

I have a female continental giant (which are closely related to flemish giants) and I was told 6 months for spaying, both by someone who has raised many giant rabbits and by the vet who spays and neuters all their rabbits. Ours was spayed at 8 months with no problems, I think waiting a whole...

brushing them every day is good! does yours enjoy being brushed? our female loves it but our male gets cranky when we try to brush him. I think there's probably nothing to worry about, we have tons of hair all over the place before we sweep in the morning and ours have never had problems with...

My roommate's been bitten a few times, he's never gotten rabies either! I think...lol

We ordered pellets from Chewy, and... The bag somehow got torn open on the way here! We didn't see it, but when we went to take the bag out of the big box, the pellets just spilled out all over! Oh man, it took a long time to sweep up and then shop vac the rug. We contacted Chewy and they were...

haha, thank you. I figured they were way overreacting! The main reason I wanted to get a tetanus shot was just that I hadn't gotten one in a while and I read online it's probably best to do that if an animal bites you (just like how you should probably get one if you get scraped with metal, etc...

The perpetrator! (I can't be mad at him though! Look at him!)

This is just a story about a frustrating day that I had which started with my rabbit biting me. So, Gus bit me yesterday and broke the skin. He'd nipped me a few times before but never really broken the skin, and I realized I hadn't gotten a tetanus shot in a while, so I wanted to get one just...

UPDATE: we have been putting them in the back of our SUV and they've been getting along really well. No fighting whatsoever. they just cuddle the whole time. Gus did try to hump Pokey once but she just kinda laid down and he gave up and snuggled with her instead.

UPDATE: I tried calling them but no answer. Probably going to go in and ask sometime this week. Also, I tortured myself by looking at the bunnies they had for adoption on their website...they're all so cute and I want them...

so glad you knew to bring her in! hope she feels better soon!

oh yeah, I have friends like that, they don't want to accept any help because they don't want to "bother" people. Don't want me to go out of my way at all for them even if I don't mind. Won't allow me to pay for ANYTHING for them, but want to pay for everything for me. they're just too darn nice...

I feel like this is part of it, considering just how many people have told me this rescue never called them back. The weird thing is that they advertise on their website that they need volunteers for many different things, and like I said, they just took in a whole bunch of rabbits...so it's...

thank you so much, you've been really helpful. I'll definitely read these and use your advice as we go forward.

I am no expert but I understand the feeling of paranoia when something seems off about your rabbit. My hunch turned out to be right when our rabbit got GI bloat, and it ended up saving him. So it's understandable to take any changes very seriously. I cannot give medical advice, but something...

we've found our giants are way more cuddly than most of the other rabbits my roommate has had or been around. they really do seem to like being held/snuggled and like to sit next to us or hop into our laps. I'm not sure if giants are actually more docile and friendly, or if maybe it was because...

thank you for all the helpful stuff. I agree that we have probably made a lot of mistakes. the sudden and unexpected financial difficulties we faced shortly after getting them definitely contributed to this and has made it difficult, but I know that we will probably need to try a lot harder and...

oh they are both fixed now! I do think I'm going to try bonding sessions for short periods and increase by a little bit each time and see if that works

my giant bunnies Gus (white male) and Pokey (brown female)

the reason I interpreted it as cuddling is because when they're together they do often cuddle and groom each other. but you may be right, it might not necessarily be that. I have considered that they might not be truly compatible. we may just have to always supervise them while they're together...
