What sort of hay have you tried? Also is the quality good (is it brown and dried up or is it green and fresh?) You could try a new supplier, Small Pet Select has taster packs, and so does Hay Box. Even though they do not ship to Greece, you can look into other companies similar to them...

Poor Franklin <3 Hope he gets well soon :)

In that case try to make the main flooring soft, you could use memory foam mats, or those interlocking gym mats and cover them with bed sheets. Wood can sometimes make it worse so try to avoid hard flooring. Hope everything goes well. <3

Are his hocks severe? Are they broken? Sometimes in cases where the wound is broken vets offer pain meds. If they are just a bit red and sore looking you could try rubbing the normal blue vasaline (although your bun may lick that off as well). My rex has sore hocks, although they haven't gone...

You need to give more information about the situation. Did he and his 'wife' fight? Are they both spayed and neutered? Have he and his 'wife' been bonded? It seems like a bite mark to me, although other members may have other ideas. Is it possible that the two rabbits fought and she bit him...

If she is completely healthy then I think that a spay would be beneficial as she is already the age of 3 when rabbits have a 60% chance of developing uterine cancer, which then increases to a further 80% when they turn 6. It not only eliminates chances of uterine cancer, it can decrease the...

Some buns can go into stasis during car journeys due to stress so make sure you have a nearby vet number to hand (just in case). If you are planning to go for a long period of time then I would recommend taking an emergency kit for them. Your emergency stasis kit should ideally have syringes...

Hey! Not sure if this will be helpful but I found a link that has a list of vets that you could reach out to and ask about their pricing. The Fox Valley link is listed at the top of the website but you could check the others out anyway :) https://www.hrschicago.org/area-vets/ I also found...

That idea really is heart breaking :( Now that I think of it, our new rex bun Duke is actually 6 months older than our lop bun Bambi and they get along fine! The age difference in your case isn't that large, but if you are worried about it like you said you could look in shelters as they tend...

Personally I don't think age really matters, but do keep in mind that the new bun will have to be spayed/neutered at around 2-6 months (depending on when your vet can do the surgery) and then the rabbit will also need 2-3 months to allow his/her hormones to settle. I've seen elderly buns bond...

Because they are indoor rabbits it isn't as cold as it is outside and the temperature tends to average between 4-8 degrees. I will probably buy some heat pads just incase and look into some warm hideys.

Hey guys! I'm hoping to redo our rabbit room and get rid of the hutch so they have half of the room and that they will have more space. The problem is that our utility room doesn't have central heating but it is technically apart of our house. In the summer if it gets too hot we can open the...

Hi! I'm not 100% sure about the humping situation, but it's possible that your rabbit was smelling musky because he needed his scent glands cleaned, or it could be something else. Take a look at your buns scent glands, if you notice the smell is coming from there take a look at the video below...

Usually humping is a sign of dominance and your bun is trying to show the female that he is the 'alpha' in between them and that she should be more submissive. As long as your female doesn't try to fight back it should be fine, however some females may fight back and it may result in a more...

Hi! Your emergency stasis kit should ideally have syringes (preferably large and small for feeding critical care or liquid food), Fine Grind Critical Care by Oxbow Health, perhaps some baby gas drops (sometimes gas pains can be related to stasis) usually people recommend simethicone drops (I...

Have you got an x-pen? Initially throughout the 'proper' bonding process less space is better so they get used to sharing a smaller area, then once they are doing well you can slowly increase their space and eventually let them out in the kitchen properly as it will still be a neutral space. If...

It depends on the buns, if Lümi and Storm fur pulled and needed to be separated it is likely that they will need more time to bond. If they're doing fine then there shouldn't be any bad side effect of their previous meeting, although it could be that they do remember that incident and are a bit...

Hi! Congrats on getting a new bun, she looks adorable! I think it's great that you did your research, it should come in handy when she gets more comfortable around you. When the fourty-eight hour period is over try hand feeding her the veggies/fresh food or even treats such as fruit (feed...

We are increasing their footprint daily, eventually they will have 35 square feet, but the shelter specifically asked us to give them the second floor and then once they are used to that to open up the hutch into their free roam area. When they are able to have their full area they won't end up...

I don't think it's slippery, but he actually he got the hang of it today, so all is okay! The rescue advised us to increase their space 1ft at a time as Duke sometimes can get panicked and try to mount Bambi so they told us to be very gradual. They also told us to give them the first floor on...
