They do taste different and might be a bit of a different texture. Some people are allergic to timothy, but fine with orchard grass. Giving orchard grass should not harm your rabbit, even if fed exclusively. You could try it as a treat and see if she likes it and even make it part of your...

I have had rabbits that smelled bad and I think it was due to the food. Getting them on a good diet really helped. Not using the litter box can mean the cage smells bad, and so he might pick up a bit of an odour as well. Cleaning the cage more often and even trying to litter train may help...

Can you put a litter box in that spot? A corner one might work well. It would be easy to clean rather than trying to clean the whole cage. Cleaning that spot more often might be needed as well. I have a couple buns that use a corner box and only go in the corner. I have to scoop it daily as it...

A bit of alfalfa in a hay cube really should not be a big issue. 3 months is well within the range to get alfalfa anyway. Unless they have shown an issue with higher calcium (bladder sludge, kidney or bladder stones etc), then a bit of alfalfa once in a while should be fine.

The Andis AGC ones are good, and a #10 blade. IT can be good to have a couple blades as they can heat up, so it helps to switch them if needed. Going through a matted coat or using a higher speed makes them heat up faster as well. You would be looking at $150-200 for the clippers. Some other...

I have see cat harnesses that can be pretty big, so should fit most rabbits. Since harnesses are used in agility and rabbit hopping, you might be able to find someone who makes them for the sport and could sell you one, making a more custom size should not be too difficult. It is hard to...

With rabbits, you really do have to go based on feel rather than breed. Breeds can vary, even within the breed. A dwarf lop might have a weight range of 4-6 pounds (just a guess), 4 pounds could be ideal for one rabbit and 6 could be quite fat. The rabbit could be within the breed limit, but...

Rabbits can breed in a matter of seconds and can breed at any time (unlike dogs who have to go into heat in order to breed). This means there is no safe time to have intact rabbits together. Even 'keeping an eye on them' is not enough, rabbits are quick. The rabbits need to be kept apart and...

I will admit that it sounds odd. 9 week old babies can be starting to get hormonal, but it would be quite rare for them to be aggressive to the point of killing a litter mate for no apparent reason. I could see 9 month old rabbits doing it, but 9 weeks just seems odd. If it did happen suddenly...

Rabbits really should have food available all the time as they need to keep eating to keep the GI tract moving. Even if you don't want to give more pellets, at least give more hay. You could divide the pellets into 2 feeding a day (or more if you want). If you are worried about her gaining too...

They really will need to get used to being brushed. If they get matted, they need to be shaved down, and that is not something that is easy anyway, let alone with a rabbit that is not used to any grooming. It's just something that has to be done with longer furred rabbits. If you can't keep them...

The black one is a lionhead. The white and black one is harder to tell. She looks more like a lionhead. The longer fur could mean she is a mix or a teddy lionhead (they have longer fur like an angora).

Customs in any country can be a pain to deal with. Rabbits usually aren't covered by any rules, so a customs official might not know what to do when one comes through. They aren't that common, so not something that would be seen every day (where a cat or dog could be on every flight possibably)...

I primarily use fleece, but also have towels for some. Using a towel under fleece can mean that the liquid gets drawn down into the towel, so the rabbit isn't sitting on a wet blanket all day. You would need to change it out every day or 2, depending on how much your rabbit pees. A litter...

The main problem I have is with fur in the washer. Hay does get it, but not a ton (especially considering I have 9 rabbits). I only use litter on the litter box, and my rabbits don't dig it out, so that helps keep things clean.

My concern would be taking it on the plane with you. X-pens can be heavy, so you are paying for that. The size is also bigger than 'normal' luggage, so you may have to pay for oversized baggage as well. As you needing the pen for when you arrive to before you leave? If it is when you arrive...

I would not worry too much right now. He is still recovering and the hormones are going a bit haywire right now. As he heals more, he should start to use the litter box more and get back to old habits. You may need to work a bit to retrain him. If he keeps going outside the box or you notice...

While the breeds in different countries do vary, not all angoras have wool on the face. French and Satin angoras have clean faces and feet. Even Jersey Woolies don't have the wool on the face. So a really fluffy face is more about the breed of angora than being an angora. I don't really...

That door does look awkward. You might be able to set it up so you can just open the whole panel. There are some x-pens with a walk through door, which is quite helpful when you need to get into the pen.

It really depends on the rabbit, size isn't a good indication of jumping ability. Some rabbits won't try to jump out of an 18" pen, while others will try to clean a 48" pen. A larger breed would need a taller one just because they can stand up taller, but smaller breeds tend to be able to get...
