I'm sorry for your loss. In a well ventilated cage I don't think pine shavings would cause death, at least not without any symptoms of illness leading up to it. You can use carefresh in the litter tray, recycled paper pellets or compressed pine pellets/wood stove pellets (no...

She's already been through the key and is still stumped. With that side on view, the ears don't look quite as big as I would expect for a flemmie. Still gorgeous though :D

I'm so sorry for your loss, what a beautiful and unique bunny he was. He certainly lived a good long life. Binky free, Spike.

Rabbits can be naturally fearful of new things, it's a survival instinct. It's not recommended to handle them when they are still so scared, the best thing to do is always just let her out and sit/lay on the floor reading or doing something and just ignore her. Rabbits are also naturally curious...

His mouth might still be a little sore after the surgery. Did you say you had sprayed apple juice on the hay a little to encourage him before the surgery? Perhaps try that, or try offering only the really soft pieces of hay. If he hasn't eaten any hay or pellets by now I think you'll probably...

It's not so much breed that matters for feeding but weight, so if you get that pinned down you'll be able to adjust accordingly. He seems a very healthy weight to me :)

I think it's probably most likely that he's a flemish or mix of. Steel colours are common in the flemish breed. In terms of the darker nose, I don't know. The butterfly marking isn't exclusive to Champanges but it could be a throwback to something that he may be mixed with. And you are correct...

She is too darn cute :)

The main thing my vet mentioned to me was to make sure that they eat, drink, poop and aren't kept outside in the cold as they can't regulate their temperature well for 24 hours post surgery. So it's great that he's eating. His poops may be a little slow to come at first given his system would...

So fluffy!! :D Nice work, I'm glad that it worked for at least one of your bunns, I'm sure that Nibbles with come around :)

Depending on which of the adult rabbit nuggets your feeding will vary how much lucerne is in it. It's usually only the top 1-3 ingredients that have a substantial amount in the food, the rest is just a little bit of filler and nutrients. In the Adult rabbit nuggets with oregano, lucerne is the...

My only suggestion is to give them their food, whether it's pellets or salad, and brush them while they're distracted eating. It may take a while to gain their confidence while doing this, but it's the only thing I can think of without actually restraining them. You may need a second person to...

I haven't used them personally but I know of people who have used them with success. The smell is likely to fade with a little bit of time. When I first bought foam puzzle mats, opening them from the packet they have a very strong smell, I took them outside, hosed them down and let them air for...

It really depends how he recovers. I would give it about 3 days of good hay eating post-surgery before introducing new foods. If you feel he's not quite right still then wait longer. It's hard to give an exact time without actually knowing the bunny and how well they'll recover. Let us know how...

Straw and hay aren't the same thing unfortunately, which is why straw is cheaper. It's drier, often sun dried and has very little in the way of nutrients that hay does, which should still be soft and green :)

Rabbits don't come into season as they are induced ovulators (meaning that no matter what time of year they mate an egg will be released and they can get pregnant). Willow has simply had a false pregnancy, where her hormones have told her she's pregnant, even though she's not. On occasion spayed...

Rabbits can take a day or two to recover back to a normal eating pattern after surgery. I would probably wait until he is eating hay again after surgery before introducing new foods. The hay really helps keep things stable and moving through with all the fiber.

Hello there and welcome, I've moved your thread to the "Rabbitry and Showroom" which is the breeder section because I think you're probably more likely to get the responses for this topic that you're after there than in the general rabbit forum :)

No problem at all. Worst case scenario if you have to mix his pellets into a mash and syringe feed in the side of the mouth you can do that, but at least he will still be getting food :)

Watermelons is right, rabbits don't just get along. The two you have bought get along now because they are still babies, they always get along until their hormones start to kick in from 10 weeks of age. When you will need to separate them or they will start breeding and likely fighting. You...
