Haha. Never experienced this! Perhaps it's the scent attracting him.

Welcome to the forum. I'm glad you found a place with other rabbit people who can relate. Reading your story, it seems that there are factors that are unknown. Unless you have a necropsy, there really isn't a sure way to know what actually caused Minky's demise. You mentioned she was sitting...

What are their ages?

I guess if your pot is well established, then there isn't a need for the mesh. :) The mesh might be needed for newly growing plants that can be chewed down til they're dead. Your pot looks nicely thick and full!

Some of those could be artificial plants. But I have seen people use a metal hardware mesh over a pot that the plant can then grow through. That way, even if the rabbit chews down to the mesh, it won't get to the root and the plant can regrow. I'll look for a photo to show better. I also love...

Yup. But I assume your males were neutered? OP was talking about intact males. ;) [I'll clarify that in their title]

Thank you for posting. I can see some changes you could try to make to (hopefully) help out with the issue. I would start with changing to either wood pellets or recycled paper pellets for litter. Pellets (as opposed to shavings or shredded paper) are much more absorbent. But it isn't just the...

Could you post a photo of your rabbit's cage setup?

Neutered male rabbits have the potential to get along. Intact... highly unlikely. What is likely is that they may seem totally ok together while the little one is little. Once those hormones kick in, well that'll be a whole different story. The difficulty for you is that it will be easy to...

Nice looking pumpkins!

I would second the idea of getting your well water tested-- not just for your rabbit's sake, but for the people too. Never know what might be in the ground water. We are also on well water and got it tested. Ours happens to have high levels of arsenic!! An RO system will do nothing to filter...

There is a lot of info at the following thread as well (with links to current US maps of cases)... https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/rhvd2-in-the-us-what-you-need-to-know-includes-map-pg-3.99131/

My way of feeding hay is putting it directly in the litter box and refreshing twice daily. I used to be hesitant to feed hay that way when I first heard of that idea. But it turned out that it works just great. They won't eat soiled hay but they get hay quite easily. There are some other...

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum!

Cute!! Welcome to the forum! Is that his permanent home or is he a primarily indoor bun?

Welcome!

Congratulations!! Great dogs! Please be sure to post some photos of the babies!!

Welcome to the forum. If I'm not mistaken, one needs a permit in order to keep wild cottontail rabbits. They really are not suited to captivity and do best in the wild.

I remembered another video of an outdoor setup in a rainy climate. This is a video tour of her setup which might get you thinking outside the box (so to speak) for ways to provide a dry home for your rabbits.
