    No Appetite for Pellets While Pregnant?

    That is a very good point. I do buy my pellets in bulk, do you recommend discarding this bag? I feed my different rabbit's different brands depending on purpose, the other two buns that get this same food are fine. Including a mama and her 5-week old litter. Maybe she can taste the difference...

    No Appetite for Pellets While Pregnant?

    Thank you! She has actually gained quite a bit of weight since breeding. I will definitely look into getting some alfalfa, she is currently eating a orchard / timothy blend! Yes, I did just open a new bag of pellets around the time this started, but it is the same brand I usually use... What...

    Why isn't my doe making much milk?

    Try feeding a tablespoon of Calf Manna daily, she should eat it like a treat and it will enhance milk flow. Oats can also help.

    No Appetite for Pellets While Pregnant?

    Yes I'm not too sure. This began around halfway through her pregnancy, I'm wondering if since this is her first litter it could feel weird for her to have babies inside.

    No Appetite for Pellets While Pregnant?

    One of my pregnant bunnies has not been finishing her pellets this week. She's most definitely interested in eating all of her veggies and hay, though. I'm thinking maybe she's feeling full from being pregnant, as she seems perfectly fine otherwise. Still destructive as ever lol. For reference...

    How can I help my rabbit gain weight? Is it possible for her to gain weight before her spay surgery?

    2.7 lbs. is quite small for even a dwarf breed. Do you know what breed/mix she might be? She is considered underweight if you can feel her spine and hips the way you described it. However, I just saw you mentioned that the next available appointment would be a few months into 2021... I would try...

    How can I help my rabbit gain weight? Is it possible for her to gain weight before her spay surgery?

    Always consult your vet before making sudden diet changes. Try incorporating 1 tsp. oats and a few black oil sunflower seeds into her daily diet, as both are caloric and yummy treats. Every rabbit is different, but it should make a noticable difference within a month. I'm not sure if her weight...

    Sexing my 8 week olds

    We need better photos to accurately determine gender! Preferably closer and please press down a bit harder. My guess is girl/boy/boy but that's only going off the spacing.

    Bunny's fur on nose and body dramatically changed color

    Her color is Blue Tort, which can get confused with fawn/cream easily. The main way to distinguish differences between these similar coat colorings is that blue torts have a darker colored belly, and fawn/cream bunnies have a white belly. Her color most likely changed because she shed / molted...

    Help! Alternative Flooring Options??

    Thanks! How do you prevent chewing?? The rabbit I have is extremely determined, I am afraid to give her anything she might ruin!

    Help! Alternative Flooring Options??

    Well thank you 😂 I feel blessed even though I am frustrated lol

    Help! Alternative Flooring Options??

    Surprisingly, that's actually how it was! Not quite sure how, but she managed to rip up the vinyl even though it was previously glued to the plywood and stapled/wedged under wood pieces..

    Predicting Rabbit's Coat Color?

    Here is an example of an adult bun with airplane ears / "ear control" to give you an idea! Things can change as they get older, but some will always have the capability to "lift" their ears.

    Help! Alternative Flooring Options??

    I have considered this, too! In my original post, I noted that a few of my buns currently have foam puzzle piece mats (but their cages are on the ground and have straight edges). I have had a bad experience in the past using these mats with chewers, one bun literally at a big chunk of it when I...

    Help! Alternative Flooring Options??

    Thank you! Yes that is my main concern... traction. I use some pretty high-quality vinyl currently and it is very durable and has amazing traction. I also want something easy to clean, and I must admit I've never worked with this plastic material before...

    Help! Alternative Flooring Options??

    I'm sorry, I did not think to get a picture of the vinyl before removing it! But it was a corner she got into. It's strange because she's been in this specific cage for 6 months now and just recently found this corner to destroy. Before she has also ripped up edges too (in different areas) and I...

    Predicting Rabbit's Coat Color?

    Of course, that's what I'm here for! YES, she has "ear control" at this stage and NO, her ears will most likely never fully flop like rabbit 1, if that's what you are looking for 💞

    Predicting Rabbit's Coat Color?

    In my experience, color darkens with age as the rabbit develops / molts their baby coat. Harlequin markings will become more prominent with age as well! The ears will probably never completely flop, as this rabbit has "ear control" whereas the sibling already has the iconic floppy ears of...
