I'm not sure I'm understanding where your thoughts are now but if you want to still use his current hutch and be able to give him more secure room to run, you could basically make a wood and wire box run and put the hutch inside of it, so he can use that as a retreat any time, basically like...

I'm not a rabbit expert by any means but we do have lots of cotton tails around here and jack rabbits and that one looks obviously domestic to me.

I'm so sorry to hear that. One of my friends found a really great glass artist that uses pet ashes in making beautiful pet memorials, most people generally have something like a pendant made. He's lost two pets in the last few years and went to this artist each time. I don't have any details on...

Great, thanks everyone! Was leaning towards the basement anyway and that cinches it.

Some of the snakes. Zeke, male Anaconda Western Hognose. He is our youngest male and not quite full grown. Went to his first educational event last month and did really well, as expected/hoped. Patience, our sub adult female Tricolor Hognose. (Completely different species than the Westerns...

Here is a good breakdown. Seems to agree with nearly every other source I've read. https://rabbitsindoors.weebly.com/feeding.html

Haven't really seen this addressed, what is a good/best range of temps for a rabbit, particularly indoors? I'm trying to decide between keeping a rabbit upstairs but that potential area has less space. It maintains temps between 78 degrees F during the day in summer to 68 degrees in winter and...

And then the kittens ... First is Katara, our oldest. She a fat and lazy lump. Our two boy dorks, Ivan the orange and Gregor the gray. Gregor is a troublemaker but he is also super sneaky. Ivan is a lovable doofus. And the youngest and most annoying of them all, the super fluffy and pretty...

Here are some pictures of my Zoo. Puppies first, this one is a flash back pic of my newest puppy, Tigerlily, the day we picked her out, at 12 days old. She is a fawn Merle Chihuahua and currently 2 years old. Day after we got to bring her home. Cuddling with my middle child, Ty Lee. They...

Great explanation Sable Steel! Following along to learn more too, as I know nothing about rabbit genes. I do breed other types of animals though and find Mendelian genetics so fascinating. On that note, I'm ecstatic to know that rabbit fanciers use the same genetic terminology as the species I'm...

The rescue is Remembering Ruby Rabbit Rescue. Several people recommended it, even the rabbit breeder friend I'm also considering going with. I'm kind of leery of rescues though, some are really crazy and they tend to not like my other pets. I've so far only had good experiences with getting cats...

Looking into various enclosures and so far I'm liking the style and sizing options of the wood hutches/coops that are commercially available better than any of the pure wire or plastic enclosures out there. But I'm worried about chewing, is that often a problem with wood enclosures? Are there...

No advice, sorry. But congrats! Can't wait to see them growing up.

Was quite surprised to see so many on here with reptiles! Don't have a rabbit yet but we have 3 Chihuahuas, Isabella (16yrs) Ty Lee (5yrs) and Tigerlily (2yrs) 4 cats, Katara (8yrs) Gregor and Ivan (6yrs) and Mercedes (3yrs.) A Russian tortoise, a Box turtle, a Gargoyle gecko and a fluctuating...

Thank you! I'm in Idaho. I do know of one rabbit rescue not super far away from me, so they might be a possibility. I was actually guessing an estimate of $150 to fix one but just started a spread sheet for up front costs and called one of the two vets I usually use. It will be $140 for a buck...

So I get the reasoning for an adult already altered rabbit being recommended but it's very likely that in this area I'll be mostly limited to a younger one. Was already planning on neutering it anyway but when is the ideal age/size to alter one both medically and behaviorally?

Thanks for the links Blue eyes! I'm working my way through the website now.

I've been talking to the breeder friend I'll most likely go to when the time comes. Getting excited! She breeds broken reds, broken blacks, black otters and is just starting with blue eyed whites, along with a few others, but those are nearly all the colors I'm most attracted to. She has a few...

I've been kicking around the idea of getting a rabbit (or two) for a year or two now and have pretty much decided to go for it and reward myself with a new furry critter companion for my next birthday (beginning of next year) and so now is time to dig into all the care questions to be sure I'm...
