I'm no expert, but lop bunnies have ears that hang down most of the time, so I don't think your rabbit is a lop. When they are up, they aren't as stiff and straight as domestic rabbits. By the markings on your bunny, I would say that it's def part Dutch. When my Mom first saw my Annika, she...

Sorry about the above empty post. I was just in the middle of editing it when my 2 brats got into a fight and I had to break it up! When I tried to post the edit it had expired. So anyway. Morgan, I don't know if the above site you linked is one you've used before, but it's full of spelling...

Thank you so much for all the info, Anna! The pet store I buy my supplies from does carry Oxbow, so I will definitely try that and see how it goes. They LOVE their "crunchies" (pellets), and I've always given them each a small slice of banana at bed time. When I first brought them home it was...

Thank you, Anna, for the advice. It's possible she has a sensitive tummy, although she is extremely clean and never has anything on her anywhere except right on her private parts. Occasionally she'll step in poop and if it's on the bottom of her feet, she chews and licks and cleans until it's...

One of my girls is quite large and has a difficult time cleaning her bum. She's very clean and the rest of her is spotless. She grooms herself and her sister all the time, but just can't reach her own butt. She eats well, poops well, but will often have hard poop stuck to the hair around her...

Bernie and Fred are SO cute!! and clean! Love their names and I had a bunny named Hector who loved to lay on his back on my lap. Every bunny is different, so people need to calm down when making assumptions about things and attacking people who do things with their bunnies that not all...

I'm so glad you figured out how to add the photo because she is gorgeous! I love her long sideburns. I agree with most people who've responded to your question in that if you keep her area clean, her feet will gradually get better over time. I've found the majority of rabbits want to be...

I lived in a rural area for many years and we had a well. Our water was hard and it also contained sulphur which made it smell. We installed a water softener and an air filter called 'big blue' for the sulphur. We had it tested many times and it was excellent water. I didn't have rabbits at...

Please don't blame yourself about Fred. I had a lionhead-lop named Hector. I adopted him at a year old and had him in my apartment. A friend of mine got very ill and I decided to pack up all my belongings and drive 800 miles to help her. I moved back in with my parents and travelled back and...

Wow! it sounds like you've been working really hard at bonding those 2. It also seems like they're just about ready to be together permanently. I have 2 girls who are now 4 years old. I adopted them as a pair, so they were already bonded. One thing I've noticed is you've been worried about...

Hey, I've got 2 girls who have really good litter habits, except they like to pee on the floor of their pen. I'm thinking it's because they're female and very territorial. They're free run all day and evening, then I close the door of their pen at night while I'm sleeping. Pippi especially...

Kristen, I don't live in PA, I'm actually in Canada. If I were you, I would look for a veterinary college. I've taken my bunnies to several vets in my area who claimed to be rabbit-savvy, but I didn't feel they were. It's usually pretty expensive to take them, so it might be worth going...

My girls have both had a bald spot on one foot. I put Bag Balm right on that spot. It worked really quickly, the hair began to grow back right away. I think my girls just got it from hopping on the carpet on the floor...

I agree with all of the above replies, and I feel blessed to be a part of this group. I think bunny-lovers are a special breed of people. We seem to be very sensitive, caring, and loving but also, easily hurt and always trying to put on a brave face. I don't know how long you've been involved...

Hoppy Birfday, Princess Martina!! We love your crown, it makes you look like a real, live princess! Nose bonks and thumpy thumps from Pippi and Annika

When I got my first indoor bunny I wasn't used to them being in the house. The first while with my new little darling, he.... 1. chewed my lamp cord, laptop power cord, tv cord, tv cable, and dvd player cord. 2. he humped everything in sight b/c he wasn't fixed, so humped his stuffed giraffe in...

Just curious, how big were the Flemmies kits? Good thing it was the doe who weighed more. It would be scary if it was the other way around. I haven't seen rabbits do this, but definitely seen dogs mate that are nowhere near close in size. When the other poster was asking if they 'fell over'...

Everyone is giving such great advice, I didn't feel like I had anything to add. However, I just read this post about reading to bunny. I'm SO glad you posted this. Now, I don't feel quite as crazy. :) I adopted my current 2 little girls 3 years ago from the SPCA. I had only planned on one...
