    My rabbits are pooing under my couch

    Mine’s a netherland dwarf, 1.1kg. The 2.25kg pack of Oxbow pellets will last me 5-6 months. Usually I go with maximum of 1.5tbsp (15g) a day which means 5 months, but there are also days I’d give lesser because I gave a treat or if I’m pushing him to eat more hay.

    To neuter or not to neuter

    Try checking with the house rabbit society in your state/area. Some offer neuter vouchers which you can use at selected rabbit-savvy vets. I paid $120 for my bun's neuter surgery with the voucher instead of the original $350 or so, and did a top-up of $20 to get the laser procedure which I heard...

    Anyone resigned to their white buns never having clean white feet?

    Ahhh I see. I shall try again and give him more time to get used to it this time. Thank you for the great advice!

    Anyone resigned to their white buns never having clean white feet?

    Not really, at least not at the beginning. I had hay in 1/3 of the litter box (and also a hay bag hanging) and pellets in the other 2/3. He would hesitate and put his front paws in the fresh litter box before removing them, and would sometimes stand outside the litter box to pull the hay from...

    Anyone resigned to their white buns never having clean white feet?

    Hi all, just an update - I've switched over to wood pellets (Feline Pine, non-clumping). Did the entire transition thing for his bedding by slowly increasing the quantity of feline pine. But once it was all feline pine in his litter box, he started spending more time in his chill corner and kind...

    @SirLawrence @NYAngela @TreasuredFriend I’m experiencing bunny envy! Those are such gorgeous photos of beautiful rabbits, happy sploots and clean white feet! I guess there’ll always be a little bit of gray here and there for them! :)

    Would that be the Arm & Hammer Feline Pine non-clumping litter?

    Anyone resigned to their white buns never having clean white feet?

    Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions! I will change to wood pelleted litter after I'm done with my current stash of litter. It'll probably take a few months for the yellow fur on his feet to molt/shed but now I have renewed hope! Thank you! Pic of his current stained feet 😅 :

    Netherland dwarf rabbits help :)

    I use the same method as Niomi when I have to move my bunny. I use a soft bunny hideout house and he probably associates that with being moved to another area and then given some Oxbow pellets or herbs after. He hasn't been resistant and will willingly get in and out of the house when being...

    Anyone resigned to their white buns never having clean white feet?

    Thank you for the suggestion! I've heard that wood pelleted litter and the pine pellets bedding from Tractor Supply Co works extremely well. I just checked and there isn't one near me. Thinking if it's worth paying $19.99 shipping for a $5.99 bag of pellets. WIll also look for other wood...

    Anyone resigned to their white buns never having clean white feet?

    My white bun stains her feet pretty often, till I'm starting to wonder if I should just resign to her feet being that way. Lesser stress for both him and me I suppose. When I first adopted him, I used Oxbow paper bedding in the litter box, and hay in the other end, The bedding would get damp...

    Is it ok to feed critical care even though bunny isn’t sick?

    Oooo this is an excellent idea! Why didn’t I think of it? Thanks so much @JBun!

    Is it ok to feed critical care even though bunny isn’t sick?

    My bun had an episode of stasis about 1.5months ago, during which I had to feed him the anise flavour critical care. He was resistant initially but I think I he fell in love with it after the 3rd feeding and licked up every single bit without being forced to. Since it’s such a big bag and...

    How to help my bunny gain weight

    Your bun is adorable! I'm confused too. I thought pellets (and I've heard some say oat) is the way to go to plump them up. But it's the same for my bun - he's a 1yo male Netherland and weighs 1.1kg which I thought was quite the maximum for Netherland dwarves. He looks ok, no angular look, no...

    Should I be worried about my bun?

    @Howard cordingley Jasper is so adorable! That flop 😍 @Aph10 thank you for the excellent idea! Now I just have to eat more eggs so I have cartons to bake in 🤭 Anyone has any idea how to get bunny to eat from hay rack/feeder? Mine has a litter box with hay and a hay feeder bag in it but he...

    Should I be worried about my bun?

    Ikr! I’ve only had him for 2 months but I’m fussing over him all the time. Starting to wonder if my cat is getting jealous. Bunny’s all recovered! Took a few days and I became so paranoid I’ve been picking and weighing his poop daily and keeping a diary since 🤣 He also just got neutered on...

    Poop of mixed sizes - cause for concern?

    Thank you @JBun ! It didn’t occur to me that it could be due to the pellets. I’ll remove the pellets totally and see how it goes, and will check in with the vet when he goes for his neuter surgery tomorrow. I’ve been trying to go slowwww with him because I only adopted him two months ago and...

    Poop of mixed sizes - cause for concern?

    I was clearing my bun's litter box this morning and noticed some small poops. He was less energetic, spent quite some time at his hideout corner and didn't eat or poop for about 3hrs except for the cilantro I dangled in front of him. So I fed him some simethicone and bene bac plus. He did start...
