[mother_of_flopsey]

i dont know much about bunnies.. flopsey is a baby bunnie a naughty friend of mum and dads gave him to me.. i used to have guinea pigs but they both died of old age so the cage is now usful again! flopseys living at mum and dads place for they have 3 acers of land and im only in a small flat and not allowed to have any animals! we are tthinking of getting a bg fence to put around the cage so he can run around and go in the cage whenever he wants to.. at the moment we let him run around the sunroom for an hour! he loves it! does lots of binkie...blinkies or whatever u call them... nice to meet u all! just joined today!

Hello! Welcome to the forum! Also, congrats on the new bunny! It's a shame you can't have him at your apartment. I was very fortunate that I found an apartment that would take bunnies! Maybe you could sneak'em in lol It sounds like your parents have him set up in a nice area, though!

How come he has to be outside? Is it an allergy thing? Messy thing?

AH NO. Pink pee is not a normal colour of pee. Should be yellow to orange.

U want help litter training Bunny check out Bunny 101 Section. There's lots of useful information there.
Where about's do you live?? You should put your location in your profile box.

Sometimes, my rabbit's pee is a bit pink, or even red. It depends on what he ate recently. If he has eaten carrots or carrot tops, his pee will look like that. If it's bloody, then it's something to worry about.

Toilet training a rabbit is pretty easy! It depends on your set-up, though. You can put a litter pan with rabbit-safe litter in one corner, his water source in another, his food in another, and a nest box in the final corner. Put the litter pan in the corner that he goes potty the most. If he isn't neutered, it can be a bit more difficult.

Hiya and welcome to the forum It will be easier to litter train your bunny once he or she is neutered or spayed!

you will have good fun with them though I find my buns so relaxing to watch them playing

do u take them to the vets to get spreayed done? i agree they are fun and relaxing to watch them run around and play up!

You can call around to the veterinarians in your area and find one that is experienced with rabbits. Not just one who has seen a rabbit or studied them in a book, but one who handles rabbits on a regular basis. You can price them out, find what their procedure is like, etc. and get a feel for it. Normally, they will take your bun for blood panels, then take them in for a spay/neuter. Sometimes, your rabbit will come back that day, or maybe the next day, depending on the surgery/healing.

i think it was normal colour cos he peed on a white/redish cushion....
i freaked out a bit i thought he had diahree or some thing like that.
sorry about my spelling!
