Thanks. I was worried.

I just got an email from the grocery store saying that the cabbage I bought for Dortmund on Saturday is being recalled for Cyclospora. I’ve already fed him from this apparently tainted cabbage. How worried should I be. Does this virus even affect rabbits — i.e. some viruses are species...

My advice: Every time you want to pick her up put on an eagle or hawk costume. This will let her know that she has forest friends.

I have a few questions about maybe getting a friend for Dortmund 1) Would I need a second Litter Box 2) Petting them -- Do they have individual times they like being petted or would it be a constant battle for my available hands? 3) Skittishness - Dortmund hides under the bed 98% of the time...

He seems fine today. Checked his litter box this morning and everything was back to normal

I am pretty sure the clear slime was urine. It was all over the bottom of his litter box and he’s got a pretty big litter box. Plus his poops seemed normal.

As for not eating the pellets, I just assumed he stopped liking the flavor. He’s done it before. Green peppers used to be his favorite but then he stopped eating them. Same with freeze dried strawberries.

This is the sum seed stuff. I’ve given it to Dortmund for as long as I’ve had him https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Seed-Vitakraft-Prima-Rabbits/dp/B01MXG1JP2/ref=sr_1_2?crid=KSYLRVGO06HY&dchild=1&keywords=sun+seed+sun+salad&qid=1590093467&sprefix=Sun+seed+su%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-2 I can put paper on...

He has a little water fountain that constantly filters and circulates his water. Though I could leave a second bowl, just in case the fountain breaks.

Thanks, I only give him a handful of hay twice a day. But I keep his litter box inside an enclosed area so he is hidden while he eats. All I know is that I put the hay in front of the litter box, and when I add more, he has shuffled it to the back. He's also found a 25 pound box of Orchard...

I am planning to drive up to the cottage some time in the next couple of days to drop off a TV (my bedroom TV since Dortmund keeps eating the power cord no matter how much I rabbit proof it). I was going to leave Dortmund at home and just drive there and drive back. if I leave the little guy...

I clean Dortmund's litter box every three days. This morning when I emptied it out the entire bottom of Dortmund's pan was covered in a clear jelly like substance. It was extremely wet and smelled horrible. The only difference in his diet that I can think of is that he started turning up his...

Um... I’m reading a lot of “4h teaches kids about where meat comes from” or “4H was founded to get kids involved in livestock production”. Strictly speaking that is correct, but not the full story. 4H was founded because the federal government wanted to bring modern agricultural techniques and...

Now I have become Zekeybun destroyer of worlds.

Dortmund does this too. He is a very considerate rabbit. He has cleared away all of the vines and roots that are in the way just in case I need to run away from an owl or a weasel..

Dortmund is an extremely picky eater. He does not like cucumbers, thyme, parsley, celery, bokchoy, pumpkin, sun dried tomatoes, or raspberries. I won’t include the time I gave him a jalapeño by accident, because I should have known better. There may be other things he doesn’t like, but I...

Rabbits poop where they eat. Dortmund uses a litter box just like a cat would.

You are doing well. I had a dog who I was really close to as a teenager. One of the neighbors poisoned him over the summer. Don't know why. And it really hit me hard. So hard that Dortmund is the first pet that I've had since then. Losing a pet is an emotional experience. But you are...

These days dortmund hides like 90% of the day. He only comes out when he is hungry or when he is lonely and wants to cuddle. A couple of days ago I bought a kind of enclosed area to put his litter box in and now when he wants eat, he dashes in, grabs something green and leafy and then runs...
