(coming to this post late)

Lass, your bun looks like a real sweetie. I would love to hug that bigteddy bear. I just want to say that I respect everybody's right to maketheir own personal choices in how they raise their families, pets notexcluded. As long as your baby is happy and not suffering, I commendyou forcaring for himthe way thatyou feelis right.

Sorry some people are very zealous when it comes to advice - always with good intentions.

I would love to see more pictures if you have them. (I love holland lops - they were my first bunny loves)

Hi lassie

Your bunny is really cute. He has the same colouring as one of mine andI think it is a really nice pattern. Mine is a holland loptoo. I have some photos of her in "photos of snowball andNora" which is in the bunny blogs section I think.I also have two cats who liveon a farmwith my mumand dad because they love going outside so they couldn't come when Imoved into my flat foruni.Mybunnies are happy here though. I have only had them about nine monthsbut they seem to be getting on fine. Your cat and dog are really cute,I would love to have a dog.

 

[KatyG]

Awwww! I just looked closerat one of the photos and realised there was a little chick in with thebunny. That is sooooo cute!!!

 

[Lassie]

Hi,Thanks,The dogand cat aren't mine the dog is my boyfriend brother. The catbelongs to my grandpa.



Thank you for saying nice things about my bunny it makes me feel real good too.



Buster is a Dwarf Lop. Delia

Lassie your rabbit is very cute! But if you don't mind I would like to make a few comments. First someone stated the following:

BTW any dwarf rabbit weighs 3lbs MAXIMUM when it is within a healthy weight range.

Sorry folks but a Holland Lops maximum weight is 4 pounds and it is thesmallest of the Lop breeds. Some people refer to them as dwarf lops inlaymens terms. I raised Hollands for a short time...the ideal weight is3 lbs. I had one that was less than 3 lbs pictured below. You can tellfrom looking at his head and front legs that he did not have a largebody structure.

Since the vet recommended not feeding your rabbit peanuts and you areno longer doing that, he will be much healthier. The more play time andexercise he gets the more muscle tone he will have and you will besurprised at the change he will go through. I know you takethe best care you can of your rabbit or you would not have been takingit to the vet to start with. Veggies are certainly healthy for bunnies.I do have one word of caution though if the feed you are feeding hassunflowers in it they arehigh fat content, you might want tolimit the amount of those that he gets. But I can tell you truly loveyour bunny and he is quite the handsome fella. I certainly hope you donot take offense to anything I have said, none of it is meant to bemean or cruel to you or yuor bunny.

 

[KatyG]

Oh sorry I get all the lop breeds mixedup. I think mine are holland lops but not sure because thepet shop didn't know very much, they told me nora was a boy. I didn'treally know how you check so I just assumed they were right.I put her into the vet to get castrated and they called me up later tosay they couldn't do it because she was a girl! I was soembarassed I never went back to that vet, I found a better clinic tohave her spayed at anyway.

Have you had much luck with litter training buster? I havebeen trying but my bunnies don't seem to be catching on yet.They do choose a particular place to do their business but its not thetray! And if I move the tray to that place, they will gosomewhere else, usually on soft furnishings!

 

[Lassie]

When I got Buster he was already potty trained thank god.

What do you feed your bunny. Delia

 

[Lassie]

Since the vet recommended not feeding yourrabbit peanuts and you are no longer doing that, he will be muchhealthier. The more play time and exercise he gets the more muscle tonehe will have and you will be surprised at the change he will gothrough. I know you take the best care you can of your rabbitor you would not have been taking it to the vet to start with. Veggiesare certainly healthy for bunnies. I do have one word of caution thoughif the feed you are feeding has sunflowers in it they arehighfat content, you might want to limit the amount of those that he gets.But I can tell you truly love your bunny and he is quite the handsomefella. I certainly hope you do not take offense to anything I havesaid, none of it is meant to be mean or cruel to you or yuor bunny.


Thank you forshowing me that picture. I have on a paper that Buster is adwarf lop. I went to the petstore and found out that thepetstore where I got Buster is going to a differant location and so Idon't know where to get this food at. There is sunflowerseeds in there but he doesn't eat them at all

What kind of food do u feed yourbunnies? How many bunnies do you have?Delia

 

[AmberNBuns]

I try to avoid pellets with "treaties" mixed inbecause my bunnies would always eat the good stuff and dig out thepellets, much like a kid eating the marshmallows out of his luckycharms and flinging the cereal all over the room... LOL.

A pellet with less than 16% protein content is desirable for adult bunnies.

I never knew to read labels on rabbit food before I found this forum.My rabbits seemed to be much healthier when I switched their feed fromalfalfa pellets to timothy pellets. My holland lops always had dirtybums and runny poos before I made that change. At the time, I didn'tknow about the protein content, I just thought that switching brandsdid it.

Do you have any more pictures? I would love to see them. Holland Lops make my heart go thump.

 

[KatyG]

I feed them a normal pellet mix and hay isavailable all the time. They get a bit of bananna or appleorcarrot as I treat but I don't give them carrots too oftenas I read they were very high in sugar. You werevery lucky to get him already trained!

 

[sfritzp]

I think Buster is just beautiful! I love his coloring.

 

[Lassie]

Thanks so much for coming in here talking nice about my bunny.


He is very spoiled too. He likescarrots too. I try to get him brokli but it dependson how much it costs.



I have timothy hay blocks it is less messy. Delia

 

[ilovetegocalderon]

I don't know about Buster, but when I give my Holland Lop, Nick,Brocolli - Maggie moves down to the FAR side of the pen! It's a verygassy vegetable and evidently he becomes a little stinker...:rollseyes:
Buns do seem to love it though! I had a rabbit that had terrible boutsof gas bloating, so I avoid giving them all the gassy veggies now.
My buns are spoiled rotten too. They don't think so, however...
:wink:

 

[Lassie]

I didn't like it when Freddysmom came in here and said that Buster is going to Die.



That made me cry when she said that tome. I am tring hard to take good care of him. Ilove him very much.



Thanks,Have a good day. Lassie
