I hope it isn’t a dominance thing. I was petting him and he stated to sniff / lick my hand then he snuffled all the way up my my arm and licked my nose. Then went back down my arm until he found a spot to hop on. At the time I was just glad he didn’t choose my face for his amorous attention...

I don’t know anything about Rabbits. But I do know that I stayed inside all last winter and got really depressed myself. My Doctor prescribed some Vitamin D and that really helped. Vitamin D can only be made by Sunlight and from milk. If your rabbit is an indoor rabbit maybe give him some...

I’m pretty sure Dortmund is Male. He just had *** with my arm. Twice. He is now in his cage contemplating the error of his ways.

Gordie is a wonderful name and a cute rabbit.

Thanks. I was planning on using the big travel carrier (It is for a mid to large size dog) and using his standard litter box and water bowl. I was either going to pack his cage in the trunk or buy a new one once I get to Florida. That is if I can't fit it in the back seat (It's a Honda...

Oh. My appointment at the vet is next week. I know I want to make sure he is neutered (he probably isn’t) and get the little guy vaccinated against Myxomatosis. Is there anything else I should get done? Do rabbits need rabies shots? Heart worm stuff?

The cage I got him in is about 36 inches long x 22 inches wide x 20 inches high. His current cage is about 50” x 26” x 24”. I have a small size hard case pet carrier, a fabric pet carrier, and a large size per carrier. i also bought two of these that I can put together and let him run around...

I do have a question, I was going to put it off for a couple months but since I am here I might as well ask. I am driving to Florida over Xmas and am of course taking Dortmund. What is the best way to take an extended road trip with a rabbit in the winter? i currently own two cages, three pet...

Naw... When I give him lettuce I give him a couple pieces before I make a salad. I have been letting him run around my bed and the floor a lot recently and when he comes near my hand I scratch his nose. He made a weird grunting noise this morning when I stopped petting him. Plus he has...

Another question. Sorry for the barrage. I've set up a little place for him to run around for a couple of hours a day. It isn't much room, but it is the best I can do. Anyway, he seems to avoid his litter box in here. He is fine using the litter box when it is in his cage but when it is on...

I’ve probably already spent $1200 on Dortmund in the week he’s had me. That doesn’t include the vet bill I’m sure I’ll get next week.

Okay, I went out to get some romain lettuce to sub in as a treat for Dortmund instead of the occasional other num num but maybe I made a mistake and got baby romain?

He is inside. In my bedroom. p.s. hello fellow Iowa person.

Yet another question, sorry about this... It gets coldish here in Iowa, I was thinking about getting a Couple of heating pad for Dortmund and putting them under his cage — especially under the place where he likes to hide. I figured if I set them on low, the heat will radiate through the...

Another question. the first few days I had Dortmund, I would have to put out Orchard hay four or five times a day and he would eat all of it. And when I say all of it, I mean he would root around and eat even the small bits that had fallen into his bedding. Yesterday he stopped eating as...

I read somewhere that Rabbits like camomile and rose-hip. I drink the occasional cup of camomile tea and have some high quality loose leaf in my cabinet. Is this a good treat? Or should I just stick to fruit and veggies as treats?

From my limited experience with Rabbits (5 days) the things that set Dortmund into hiding are the vacuum cleaner and Tom Waits music.

Another question, I saw that Amazon sells Rabbit leashes. Are these any good? I wouldn’t mind taking Dortmund to the park and letting him hop around a bit (supervised of course) but I worry about random dogs, chemicals in the grass, the cruel and savage mockery from local cottontails, and hawks.

Yeah, I had developed a decent relationship with the little guy. When I opened his cage up he would stand up on his back legs and look at me. He would let me pet him. That was all before the vacuum cleaner. Now, when I turn on the light and walk towards the cage he runs and hides in his...

Next concern, he is terrified of the vacuum cleaner. When I was cleaning up some orchard grass that got on the floor, he dove into his hiding space and didn’t come out for about 10 minutes. If Dortmund were a dog oe a cat I would find this hilarious, but Rabbits seem more fragile. Is it safe...
