So in the two bottom cupboards are litter boxes. I wanted to have the two sides symmetrical so that if I need to separate the two of them for any reason I can. I also wanted to do something like this litter/hay box combo that you can get on Etsy It took a bit of doing to figure out how to make...

The top part is just storage until I can replace the glass doors with plexiglass that has holes in it. But the rest is done, and after a 2 hour drive the buns have arrived and are doing well!

I attended a talk at Bunfest by a vet on sore hocks, and she explained that the way a rabbit's foot is designed, the toes and claws are supposed to sink into the ground to give them a really good grip to push off if they need to flee. When they're put on hard flooring, their toes can't sink into...

I'm making a new condo out of an entertainment unit, I'm stressing out about the flooring because Lahi has sore hocks—they're red and angry looking but haven't broken open yet and I'm desperately trying to keep it that way, so he absolutely cannot stand on any hard flooring that will put...

I just got a wall unit I plan on turning into a new condo for my buns, and the top shelves have display lights. Stick some grow lights instead, partition half the shelf off with chicken wire to keep them away from the grow lights, and the buns will be able to nibble on the plants as they grow...

Lahi likes to pee in the corner directly beside (!) the litter box, so I put down one of those plastic shoe trays you're supposed to use at your entry way for mucky shoes. It's saved the floor but the stains on the plastic DO NOT come off except by scratching them off with something sharp...

Keeping bunnies in pairs is highly reccomended. They are very social animals, and you can't give a bunny the level of attention that another bunny can. That said they are also very territorial animals, and what you were describing in your first post was a bunny becoming truly comfortable in his...

Don't be feeding alfalfa hay much longer, it's only okay for baby buns. Timothy is generally used but you can get orchard grass and other types too. Make sure he has access to as much hay as he could possibly eat. If his hay rack is empty, you didn't give him enough. For the most part what...

To everyone who is speaking from experience of having their bunny eat food they weren't supposed to: It's not "they ate this food once and they were fine, so don't worry" It's "they ate this food once and THANK GOD they're fine". Think of it like Russian Roulette. You wouldn't say to someone...

So with the new apartment I'm also building my buns a new condo. Inspired by the pictures of up cycled wardrobes like these: I bought a used wall unit off Kijiji and I'm in the middle of designing it now The top shelves all have light fixtures inside for display purposes. The two outer...

I really want to give my buns more greens... but they're so expensive to buy! On her own Delilah would happily munch through an entire box of mixed spring greens a day. So, with our upcoming move out of a basement apartment into a high-rise apartment, I want to look into plants I can grow for...

Also, re: vet, When choosing my vet I did a TON of research, called up all the vets in my area to quiz them with questions, of the 30+ vets in the area only about 5 said they took rabbits, but even if they said they didn't take rabbits I would ask who they reccomend and keep track of how many...

My understanding for tooth roots is simply that even as they grow down into the mouth, they also grow up into the jaw, the tooth getting longer at both ends. So as they age, they're simply more prone to problems with tooth roots. Delilah has never had any tooth problems ever, thankfully, though...

In the meantime... EXCELLENT NEWS!! I got my vet to check the prices on the OVC, because Histovet says outright on their website that they specialize in dogs and cats, and are a small lab, whereas the ladies at the OVC assured me that whoever examined the tumour would be someone who specializes...

@Popsicles the teeth in her mouth are fine, it's the tooth root that we're suspecting. I'm not sure how filing down the tooth in her mouth would help the fact that the tooth root is likely pressing against her tear duct. And the way the vet explained it to me (and which makes sense considering...

I'm in Canada. Guelph is the #1 place for veterinary services in Ontario, so how fortunate it is that I'm moving there! And I only have the slide, I don't know if I have access to a microscope that can take pictures like that. Otherwise I totally would! Got a call back from the vet just now...

Took me a while to get back because my semester was ending, trying to organize meds around exams, whew! I talked to my vet about where he would have the tumour tested, and he said he would send it to Histovet. I learned about that in my Lab Ops lecture on external laboratories, my teacher...

Oh dear. I'm sure someone else will come in to confirm but I'm pretty sure that a male still has sperm for a while after being neutered, it takes a few weeks for it to be totally gone. I do know that you're not supposed to have them together for the first few weeks until the hormones dissipate...

I initially got a harness for my buns, but I felt that the rabbit harness, with just a strap around the neck and a strap around the back, still choked them when they pulled on the leash. I wanted something very comfortable for them to wear, that they could use when I took them out—they're...

When she was alive, Picca was unspayed and her growls when she would pin her ears back and swipe at me (VERY grumpy bunny) sounded like the second video but several times louder and more furious. I described it as a cross between a pig squeal and a squeaky door hinge.
