    I lost a pet rabbit to a fox -- question to others who have gone through this experience

    I'm so sorry for your loss! I have a friend who has created above-ground tunnels out of chicken wire to allow her chickens to go from one area of her yard to another safely. She has a big hutch area that's covered and another area she calls "Central Park" that's also covered. And the chickens...

    Dang, now I have to cage them all ....

    I've found this fencing method really helpful for protecting my veggie garden.. I use it against wood chucks but it should work for bunnies as well. https://www.clevelandseniors.com/home/woodchuck.htm

    Water: reverse osmosis vs well water

    Our county offers low-cost water testing to residents, which I've used when moving into a new place. Might be worth checking into.

    Hay feeder

    After lots of trial and error I ended up leaving my bunny's cage in the living room with the door open as a feeding station. I put a big doormat over it to make it more of a hidey place for her and less ugly for us. For her hay feeder, I use a plastic dishpan for litter and a dollar store...

    My Bun has died

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I haven't ever seen my bunny disturbed by thunder but she will suddenly react to things in the environment (maybe sounds or smells) that are completely imperceptible to me. Whatever it was, so sorry. Sending hugs.

    Rabbit hemorrhagic disease

    Yes! I live in Westchester County (NY) and my bunny has been getting annual RHDV2 vaccinations for the past 3 years. Even tho she's an indoor bun, I don't want to take any chances because you never know what you're bringing into the house on your shoes, or even potentially in hay, etc. State...

    Cilantro as an appetite enhancer?

    My bunny adores cilantro! She started eating a lot more hay when I reduced her pellets. She gets 2 tablespoons twice a day.

    Neem Oil

    I don't use neem oil on anything we're going to eat. I've heard the same suggestion about just using a strong water sprayer.

    Rabbit keeps having bloat/GI issues

    I do think having GI issues are a bit the luck of the draw, as they are for people. That said, after changing my current bunny's diet 2 years ago she's never had another bout of stasis, so diet can make a huge difference. We changed to a higher quality pellet (Versele Laga complete), and...

    Today is the first morning in 8 years...

    Okay, now you've made me cry. 😔 What a wonderful tribute. You so eloquently put into words what so many of us feel but can't fully express about these steady, beloved companions. Thank you so much for sharing Sage with us! Sending hugs.

    I'm sorry Hopsy Please Forgive Me.

    I completely understand how you feel. I had to give up our beloved bunny years ago when we moved out of the country and my daughter and I still feel terrible about it, even though we know he went to a responsible family. I'm going to try to reframe this for both of us. No one's a perfect...

    My bunny is gone and it's my fault

    I'm so so sorry. Please give yourself as much grace as you can, as you would give a beloved friend in the same situation. You didn't mean to hurt your bunny, and your heart is broken. Try to take especially good care of yourself right now because you're in trauma and shock. If you can, reach...

    Question about music

    This is completely unscientific, but ... in addition to gas drops I also start out by putting lots of chopped apple bits in her water bowl. My bunny doesn't get treats so she'll usually lap that up, even if she doesn't feel well. And the apple seems to move things along. I'd appreciate feedback...
