I'm glad to hear that things improved and I hope that have continued to do so. The more extra fur you can brush out and loose fur you can pull manually the less he'll be ingesting from grooming :)

I agree that NIC is the way to go, and stay away from ramps. Not only do ramps waste space, but they're not very safe for rabbits who don't have the best grip and can easily tumble down them due to their hind ends being higher than their fore end. For Bandit's cage I had 2 steps up to the second...

I also would be very nervous about using puppy pads with a rabbit. The risk of ingestion is very high and not worth it. If it's only poop, you could just use a fleece blanket and at the end of the day tip all the poop towards the middle and tip it back in the box and fleece is easily washed at...

In regards to the pooping, rabbits except for the kits won't poop inside the burrows. They will poop outside the burrows and will also have middens (territorial poop piles) where there will be a concentration of poop in one area. The only way a colony breeding situation can work without...

Depending on where you live, you can sometimes order hay online, or if you have any fodder or tractor supply stores near you you could probably find orchard grass hay there. Rabbits often can not be persuaded to eat hay types that they don't like.

Because they can't cough up hair balls, rabbits guts are actually designed to pass hair quite well. Since he's still eating plenty of hay and acting normal I wouldn't panic just yet. Things can slow down a bit while shedding but should never stop completely. Since your post was yesterday I know...

Wow, surprise and congratulations I guess :D It's great to hear that she birthed well. Not all first time births go so well. And at least now you know the cause of her personality change. :) Be sure the the gaps in your cage bars aren't big enough for the kits to squeeze out of or get their...

Welcome to the forum. I'm very sorry for your loss. Rabbits are such fragile animals at times, even when you do all the right things they can still pass away.

Hello there and welcome to the forum, when they poop outside the litter tray, you don't need to put the rabbit in the tray, but make sure you pick up all poops as quickly as possible and put them in the tray as a reminder of where she should be going. Since they're fairly new, she may be pooping...

Hello there and welcome to the forum, Gaara is very cute.

Hello there and welcome to the forum :)

I'm so very sorry for your loss of Flopsy. Love seeing all his pics and all the little ones seems very happy in their stunning condo together.

Rabbits should also be kept out of the wind, and generally 86 fahrenheit is considered the temperature that they need to be brought in to a cooler temperature. Are you going to be able to bring them inside if the temperature gets that warm?

Colour genetics is beyond me, but it's possible to work it out if you know what they're carrying. Otherwise you usually can't know just from what colour the parents are.

Tough to say because he's so young (maybe 5 weeks if you're lucky, much too young). That being said, ears look small, so possibly some netherland dwarf mixed in. Beyond that, just a super cute mixed breed :) His colour is vienna marked agouti.

No problem. Desexing can be a stressful and nerve-wracking time, but most seem to be pretty upbeat a day after. I imagine they'll be most upset about being confined as opposed to the pain they're in :P

It could be territorial pooping and she's claiming your girlfriend as hers. Otherwise, as she is still very young, it could simply be to do with her age. If it's territorial, getting her spayed when she is about 5 months or so usually prevents territorial marking.

This is a tough one :( I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going very well for you. We can't really tell you either way what you should do, but it is very good that you've acknowledged that they need better care and you haven't been giving them the care they need. As much as you love your...

You can't put rabbits on human terms, people sometimes want to have babies, but we're also hormonally driven to have babies. Rabbits are hormonally driven to have babies, they may feel the desire to mate (once again hormones) but I very much doubt they see the bigger picture which is the end...

Is there a reason you can't keep your rats in the garage? I don't understand why you would have to give them up but then putting a different animal in the garage is ok? Rabbits suffer mostly in the heat and a garage that gets hot in summer could very likely be too hot for them. This is in...
