Would it be better if I for example simply put some newspaper on the bottom and hay over it (in the same corner as now, since the bun seems to be already accustomed to that position)?

I would like to ask for suggestions or advice concerning the arrangement inside the cage. My problem is that Tinto wouldn’t eat from the feeder (hay rack?) and I have to put the hay on the ground. I know that rabbit like to pee/poop while eating so I suppose the food has to be close to the...

Hi, I have a Netherland Dwarf Buck too. I understand you. Maybe you could think about whether you don't have some smell on your hands (foods, perfume etc.). It seems good to wash one's hands before touching the bun, and let him first smell the hand before you touch him.

Thanks everyone! Yes, exactly it's in a Y shape. I was wondering why the fur is missing only there, I thought maybe he hit his head somewhere, but now I am more calm knowing that.

Recently I realized a strange fur loss but only in the forehead of my bunny. I am not sure if it can be seen from the picture. I am sure I would have noticed it before, but since a couple of days the forehead has looked differently. What is it? Should I worry? Otherwise he seems healthy, keeps...

First of all, a short update about my situation. Recently, my bonding with Tinto has been going quite well, he even lets me sleep almost until 6 a.m., making just occasionally smaller noises. He has been more or less calm without any aggressive behavior such as chewing on the bars. Every now and...

Hello everyone. I have been wondering how do you guys solve the problem with vacuum cleaning. I looked for it here, but most posts deal with vacuum cleaning the fur of the rabbit because of mites or whatever. I have an issue with vacuum cleaning my room, that is also where the bunny stays...

Thank you Whit, Hermelin and Blue. Your advice is so precious and I appreciate it so much. I will have to improvise and try different methods to find out which of them work. Indeed I was trying just to spend time in his playpen, but oftentimes he either didn't come up to me, or he was biting my...

Last night, woken up again at 3:30 a.m. by my rabbit... Before going to bed I try to spend time with him, but he usually doesn't care about me and I get tired and sleepy much earlier than he. It has been over one and half month since I brought him home. At first he was curious, he seemed to...

Thank you VioletRose so much!!! I am really so confused very often... I think I am doing the best I can, but still the bunny seems not at ease. He has been with me for 1,5 months now. The playpen is long more than 7-8 feet, with the width of maybe 6 feet. Is that too small? Sometimes I am asking...

Is my bunny bored or lonely?? I cannot find out. I watched tons of videos on youtube about bonding and therefore I have been trying to sit inside the playing pen every morning and every evening, but sometimes my bunny boy ignores me, sometimes he gets nervous as if I was disturbing him. I don't...

I asked my vet about neutering my bunny here in Japan, but he kind of discouraged me. His opinion was that being such a small animal, there are always risks with the anesthesia for them, so unless I really need it he wouldn't advise. Or maybe they just want to take the responsibility in the case...

I know I've written "observations", but could somebody please give me his or her opinion. Please!!! Sometimes I feel so helpless...

It's such a mysterious little creation! I wish I could understand my bunny... I feed him, clean his litter box, at times he seems feeling comfortable with me, but still when I come home, at first he looks anxious or kicks the ground as if being angry. Or, after we play in the morning with all...

Thanks everybody so much! There is one surprise I wanted to share. I still have some problems with Tinto chewing on the fence of the pen, I tried to spray some bitter apple extract there, didn't work. Then I was advised to use something spicy, so the spiciest thing I found in the kitchen was...

Actually, there is another idea I wanted to discuss... When I leave the house, isn't it good to leave the lights on? Otherwise it gets dark around 5 p.m. during this season and when I come home I have to shock the bun with turning on the lights. Maybe it would be better to leave something turned...

Sorry, I tried but I don't really know how to correct it... ;)

I am sorry for posting several separate threads, but the topics are different so I though it would be better not to mix them up. My doubt or question is: What is the daily schedule of your bunny, guys? I was told they are crepuscular, that means they should be most active at dawn/dusk, but...

Yesterday the vet told me a strange thing. He said that perhaps I shouldn't pet Tinto (4 months old Netherland Dwarf buck) on the forehead, which he likes however on the other hand in the rabbit world that is something a subordinate member does to a more important rabbit. Does that mean that if...

I really appreciate all of your responses... They have been so helpful ;) Yesterday, we underwent the adventure of our first nail trimming. I was pretty chill. I had to trick Tinto to get into the carry bag (which was new for him). At the vet's waiting room he was freaking out, probably...
