A little swelling is fine after a neuter, his look pretty good for one day after. A little bit of blood or bleeding is fine too, it will scab up and heal fine. If he is chewing or worrying on his testicles, then I would try to figure out a way to prevent him from doing it (make a soft e-collar...

Did the vet think her incisors where sharp or her molars? The only way to get a really good look at the molars is when the rabbit is under anesthesia or by x-ray. Chewing toys doesn't really do anything for a rabbit's teeth. It is really the hay and chewy vegetables that help a rabbit's...

I keep my hay in a deck bin. So far in the last three years I haven't had a problem with keeping by bale (sometimes I can even fit two smaller bales in it). No problems with mold or moisture even when stored outside. You could give something like that a try. Or the garbage can would...

To me, that sounds like normal eating to me. I have heard quite a few rabbits eat and make noises like that. I'm pretty sure I've heard that noise when eating hay and other hard/chewy I'll have to listen to my rabbits eating something chewy like hay and see if any of my rabbits make that...

What a wonderful use of space! I think the bunnies will be very happy living in your closet. -Dawn

I'm so glad to hear that your personal life is going well. Keep doing what makes you happy! I'm also so sorry to hear about Winnie. I hope you and her have many long happy months together. -Dawn

Every rabbit is different in terms of what vegetables they like and can handle. Some rabbits get horrible gas from certain vegetables and other rabbits never react to it. My buns get the pieces of broccoli left over from cooking. Whatever doesn't get cooked for my dinner, the buns get...

Hi! Welcome to the forum. I moved your thread over to the Nutrition part of the forum since this question is about what foods to feed your rabbit. Some good advice from Korr_and_Sophie about looking for a horse stable. But even local grass hay will be fine. In Australia, timothy hay is...

You could also try a compressed wood pellet litter. Very cheap to buy, absorbs odour very well and it is pretty easy to see where the litter is soiled if you want to spot scoop between full cleans. It expands when it gets wet and when fully saturated it darkens in colour. I would avoid...

Yes, zig-zagging between your legs or just generally running around you is love circling. Chances are, he is getting himself all excited doing his love dancing. It should go away after the neuter, although it may take a while for the hormones to dissipate and thus the behaviour too. -Dawn

Welcome to the forum! I am also a local Vancouverite. I did live right in Vancouver for about 4 years while attending UBC, but I've since moved back to the suburbs since graduation. Beautiful rabbit, I love the harlequin colour as well! -Dawn

Check for a UTI and if there is no medical reason, then I would guess that it is hormone related. When I was looking after a 4 year old un-neutered bunny, his penis would stick out all the time. He was quite enamored with me, and he would love circle me, spray me and every time he got...

Moved over to the main RabbitsOnline forum for you. -Dawn

I would check them over asap. Remove any dead babies or placentas. A little bit of blood on her bottom is normal, however she should not still be bleeding. She will clean up her bottom on her own, so don't worry about that. I would check her bottom to make sure she is not actively bleeding...

Some very good advice from Violet Crumble. I have seen a rabbit chew right threw chicken wire, so I would definitely use a hardwire cloth or welded wire mesh. -Dawn

My bunnies normally get the scraps of the bell peppers when we cook them. They get the top with all the white seeds. They seem to really enjoy the seeds and make sure to eat every single one. Like any veggy, make sure to introduce it a little bit at a time and increase the amount slowly...

Some rabbits may go off their feed about 12-24 hours before giving birth, but not all do. Some will eat right up until they start active labour. It's more of a don't be alarmed if a pregnant does stops eating on her due date (as long as she starts up again shortly after birth). What I...

Get better Freedom! Stop scaring your mommy! -Dawn

That is so cool that your bunnies are getting along. I wish Baxter and Sugar would get along, then I could cut down on cages. The pictures are awesome too. -Dawn

Farm grown hay is probably good to give in large amounts. It is probably a mix of different grasses, so it would give some good nutritional variety. I give about three large handfuls of hay to my buns a day, and they are only little buns (3-6 pounds). If you can find a place that has...
