Sounds like a French Angora would fit what you want. They tend to need less grooming than the other breeds, are pluckable, and have the clean face.

Oxbow does have a digestive supplement that they want you to buy. Is there any particular reason you are giving it? Rabbits really don't need papaya and there is much debate on the effectiveness of it anyway.

Proper hygiene is important, but that is a little extreme. Wash you hands after using the bathroom, and if you do handle a sick rabbit (or one you aren't sure about). Kissing your rabbit can be an issue if you have a cold sore. The herpes virus is deadly to rabbits. But general kissing is fine.

Rabbits can't digest dairy, so yoghurt is out. Even the ones that don't have actual yoghurt, they tend to be filled with sugar. Best to just avoid them completely. It is important to read the ingredients for any treats you feed to make sure it is suitable for a rabbit. At 12 weeks, they are...

You can duct tape coroplast together if needed. If it's covered with fleece, it should nor be an issue. Hardware stores around here sell 4X8ft sheet,s but also 2X4ft sheets.

Definitely not worth it. If she did get pregnant, it would be risky and she could die. Aside from that, rabbits really don't socialize like dogs do and don't really benefit from short term meetings. A young, intact buck is apt to want to chance and hump her, which can lead to stress and fights...

Rabbits are induced ovulations, so the eggs are released when they mate. There can be times when they are more receptive to mating, but they can effectively get pregnant at any time. Back to back breeding (breeding right after a litter is born), is hard on the doe. She would be pregnant and...

They need to be fully separated. Rabbits can breed quite young and it only takes a few seconds for mating to happen. Intact rabbits of opposite sexes should never be together unless you want breeding.

I recommend the Calgary Avian and Exotic Pet Clinic. They are located near 17th ave and Crowchild Tr. I think it neuter is around $200 and a spay is about $300, plus the exam which is around $85 (call and check prices, it's been a while since I have had it done. I would also recommend Dr. Materi...

It really would depend on where you live. Some people do travel to some of the events as well. Each event is organized by different people (usually a rescue group), so they aren't all connected. You might just have to google 'Rabbit Fest' and your area.

Most cages at pet stores are too small for an adult rabbit. Some good options are an x-pen, wire dog crate (extra large or giant), or building an NIC cage. It can even be good to put a pen around the cage to give more space, but keep the rabbit safe when you can't supervise. The general rules...

There is much debate about the effectiveness of papaya and pineapple with regards to fur balls. For the enzymes to be effective at breaking down the fur, they need to be at such a high temperature that a rabbit would not be living through it. I have heard that it can help break down the food and...

I am not sure if you actually have to be there for anything, but I doubt it. They may call you to confirm some details and may want some info about the rabbits you have from her. You can tell them you are moving, and provide contact info just in case.

I would recommend reporting her. The local SPCA or humane society would be a good first step since they typically deal with cruelty and animal care. City or town bylaw tends to deal mostly with strays, noise complaints and numbers (if there is a law about numbers), most don't deal with rabbits...

If you are giving Max veggies, the babies can have some as well. The main issue with veggies is too much change too soon. So when a rabbit goes to a new home, there is the stress of the new home, diet change (new pellets usually), gut changes as they get past weaning. Adding veggies to all the...

I would suggest going to a rabbit savvy vet to get him shaved. They should know how to handle him and get the matting off. If there are issues with him skin, they can do what is needed to clean him up.

The cage doesn't look great for a rabbit. The base doesn't seem all the big, and rabbits do need a good area to hop around and lay down. Once you add a litter box and other stuff, there won't be much room left. The levels would just not work for a rabbit, they are too narrow and placed too far...

Are there any rescues near you? It can be helpful to go to a rescue as you tend to know what the rabbit will be like personality wise. Most rescues are adults and spayed or neutered. Some rescues can help you with bonding and the rabbits can meet before you adopt. If you don't have a rescue...

That sounds pretty normal for a day after being neutered. It may take a few days to get more back to normal for eating. Since he is eating now, producing normal poops, and acting normally, there isn't a need to worry. If he does seem to prefer to eat hay off the floor right now, then do that...

I have also found that rabbits about double their weight from when they are around 10-12 weeks. Smaller breeds do tend to mature faster, so reach their adult size around 6 months. Large and giant breeds can still be growing from 9-18 months. Your guys will probably mature around 4.5 to 7 pounds.
