Ok thanks, I’ll give that a try right now.

Hello everyone. A little more than a week ago, I got a new rabbit. He is a 2 month old Holland Lop. He’s acting strange. About 2 days after he got here, he started coming out (on his own account, I don’t pick him up and bring him out). Then after a few days, he stopped coming out of his cage. I...

So basically I should give him alfalfa hay for 4 months (he’ll be 2 months) and then start to wean him off of it? How do I do that, just slowly introduce timothy hay by mixing a little in with his alfalfa hay and slowly increasing the amount of Timothy hay until it’s all timothy hay, kind of...

Hey everyone, so I’m getting a new rabbit in a week. He’s a holland lop and is going to be 8 weeks old when we get him. I’ve never had a bunny this young so I have a few questions about what to feed him and care for him Should I give him alfalfa hay or Timothy hay? If alfalfa hay, until what...

That might be the problem. They only went into your room twice so they probably aren’t used to it yet. As the others mentioned, it’s more likely they’re thumping because they sense danger or are just nervous. Maybe, if possible, try blocking off under your bed and dresser with pillows, blankets...

She is spayed and has been for a few months and she honestly has seemed to get worse as she gets older and stronger. She wasn’t like this when she was younger but she’s always been strong and has only gotten stronger. We’re getting these hook things that go into the wall and hook or clip onto...

So my rabbit, Belle, is getting out of control. Here’s some info about her: she’s some type of bigger lop, we think French but we’re not sure, she’s 1 year and 2 months old, she weighs around 7-10lbs. We’re getting her another bunny to bond with in a few weeks because Snowball can’t be spayed so...

I’m not trying to bond these two because Snowball can’t be spayed and is very territorial. I’m just wondering if Snowball would be upset if I brought another rabbit here even though she doesn’t really like other rabbits.

Hey so today I had a scare. So I let out both my rabbits in separate spaces separated by 1 4 foot tall gate (Belle can jump over 2 foot ones) for Belle to keep her in one area and one 2 foot tall baby gate (set up a few feet away from belle’s space) for my other rabbit Snowball. Snowball isn’t...

Thanks! I’m changing both my rabbits diets to oxbow adult now. We’re cutting back her intake to 2 tbsp a day and hopefully it’ll help her! I agree a lot of Kaytees pellets have dried fruits, seeds, etc. which before I knew the harm (a long time ago) I fed her them 🤦‍♀️. I think they shouldn’t...

My one rabbit Belle Is just like this besides the furniture thing. Wr got her spayed a few months back (it only cost around 200-300 dollars at my regular vet!) and she’s still crazy but not as bad, her personality is just mischievous (jumps over 2 foot fences easily, digs the carpet in a certain...

Probably true about the alfalfa pellets. I just checked on her and she didn’t really eat any of the pellets, new or old (there’s a huge difference in size) and I only gave her 2 tbsp (half of the amount I normally do). Should I just leave the pellets there until she eats them? Yes I do feed her...

Ok thanks. Do you think I should check with my vet first as they said no more greens?

That does make sense. I’ll try to find veggies/herbs with little to no calcium and consider giving them to her. @JBun what do you think?

Thanks! We found the new pellets at a local store and I’ve started introducing them as you mentioned.

Oh ok thanks! The new pellets have a lower calcium and no alfalfa so I think they should be fine. Luckily she doesn’t have any more stones (she got an X-ray) I think the greens could have caused it since the vet said the kidney stone started developing a few months ago and that’s when I started...

Thanks for your input, If it becomes a problem, we do have a second vet we could take her to. I’m no vet, but the house rabbit society recommends 1/4-1/2 cup pellets for every 6lbs for her age. She weighs 5lbs and right now doesn’t eat anything but pellets and unlimited Timothy hay so I’ll be...

Thanks! I’m going to hold off on the greens for now and talk to the vet about it later after she is 100% better. I’ll be using these oxbow adult pellets as they seem to be the best for her.

I’m picking up oxbow adult pellets later and will use these guidelines. As for the spaying I can’t because she has an irregular heart beat/heart murmur and the vet thinks it’s too risky to put her under. The only way we could is if we brought her to this huge vet clinic to see what’s wrong with...

Thanks for the info! We’ve tried getting her spayed and even dropped her off one morning to get her spayed (had to drop her off due to covid) then we get a call saying they don’t want to spay her because she has an irregular heart beat or heart murmur. They said we could take her to this huge...
