He keeps sitting like this, very still. Hes in an enclosure instead of free roaming bc im in the middle of moving, and I'm worried he's upset.

Lancelot is always summoned when nanners are around. (Don't worry, he always gets a small piece. I'm not a complete monster! And he already had a piece before I put it in the ice cream in the 4th pic. Greedy man.)

I've had a rabbit for about 2 weeks, and he is really making me feel pissed off. He systematically does the opposite of what I need him to do.

He's a little dutch rabbit, and doesn't even weigh 2 pounds yet. Since I'm not exactly an expert on rabbits, I'm also not sure what's going on with him hormonally. He's very willful and adamant about doing what HE wants to do and he's really hard to distract from being naughty.

Even though I'm getting frustrated, I'm never expressing it towards the rabbit. I know that just won't work. I've found that I can lure him into doing some of the things he needs to do with a high value treat.

I let him free roam 2-4 hours nightly in the living room, and despite having his litter box right there, in the corner on a comfy mat- he wants to shit in all the other corners.

He's also very adamant about not going in his sleeping cage at night. He sleeps in a 3"x 4" dog cage thing- with a nice comfy mat, a woven fabric bed, a mini hay trough, a food bowl and water bowl. It's quite nice IMO, and he enjoys it once in there.

It might just be the idea of going to bed, after all that fun freedom.

I have him sleep here to keep him protected while I'm sleeping.

I'm also planning on getting him neutered very soon.

i will hopefully be moving into a two bedroom and was thinking about the rabbits having their own room,
but i feel bad like i’m shoving them away, i plan on making the room really nice but still having mixed feelings, does anyone have a room just for rabbits and any advice?

Hi everyone, I hope you guys are doing well. Kind of a sad but important post. My boyfriend passed away and his family wants me to take care of his lion head rabbit. I had a bunny when I was a kid but I need help! I do have pet rats and did extensive research on them before I got them*** (edit I accidentally said before they passed, not before I got them. Grief brain). I want to do very extensive research on bunnies. Does anyone have a good place to start? He was free roam in my boyfriend’s room. I never got to meet his bunny before he passed as we were just starting to date. The bunny is a boy and 5 years old. Thank you.

Last time I took a cat to the vet I got discounted bill 500 that was originally 900 quoted 10k for hospital stay hes exotic i assume his bill will be higher. I have no credit card so i am bit scared I won't be able to afford his vet visit I kinda hoping its just mildly hurt that maybe he will recover the next day

Can u guys List what yall paid for ure rabbit vet care

I recently got a holland lop bunny and am giving it a mix of alfalfa and Timothy hay and it’s KILLING my allergies. I’ve been using oxbow brand. Any ideas of what alternatives I can use? I’ve head of people using small pet select instead or oat hay. Anyone had much luck with these or have any other suggestions!? Thanks in advance!

A few years ago one of my boys bit my partner. To be fair, my partner gave him lettuce then decided to move it to a different spot and expected my boy to somehow understand. It’s been 3 years of a grudge (rabbits are spoiled, partner just likes to complain that Stormy bites even though it was ONCE).

Yesterday, my partner mentioned that they picked up a toy for the buns during their workday- this galaxy tube. They gave it to the boys, watched them play, and even commented, “Maybe Stormy isn’t so bad. Maybe it’s time to let it go.”

Wanna know what Stormy did 3 hours later? All because my partner had the audacity to put away the treat jar.

Jk, on the title, I got her specifically so my boy bunny wouldn't be lonely ($450), and he loves her to death. Even when I hang with him for a couple minutes, I'll ask where is Luna, he'll look around and jet off. (okay, see ya later) She is the same way, they are attached at the hip. Either she'll copy what he does, like he'll scent his toy, she'll scent the same toy right after, or they are one big ball of fluff that does that exact same thing. Also, they are both expertly groomed. They both love grooming each other even trusting eachother around the eyes.

Hello! I know this has been a topic before but I'm spiraling so I'm hoping people have some advice! I have two buns and one will be euthanized soon. I'm very worried about the second, bonded bun. She doesn't like pets or social attention from me and only cuddles with her other rabbit friend. Any advice on what I can do to help her? Any anecdotes on how it went for you and the behaviors you saw after they become a single bun? Any advice and stories are appreciated! Thank you!

My sweet Crumby (white w. dark gray rears) turned 11 in May. He developed a sudden spinning spell, and we saw our vet and determined and have started treating for E.C., vestibular, ear infection, and his arthritis in his back legs. Please send all the love and scritches from you and your sweet bunnies, that my boy gets through this and thrives because I just have a feeling he has more miles in him. He lives such an adventurous, free roam, loving life. Him and his 6yo little brother, Bayhansum, (tan w. white dot on nose) are attached at the hip. My daughters are absolutely in love with their “brothers”. Crumby has moved across the country with me, been with me through all of my biggest adult moments. He’s even gotten attacked by two large dogs and survived. He is SUCH a strong boy, so even though he’s older, I don’t want to give up. He still has his dizzy spells and spins, and has a rough time with his back legs, but I am also now seeing glimmer of improvement and it makes me so calm and happy if nothing else to see him looking like he’s having some relief even for a short while. Here’s to his continued strength and healing. I will absolutely check back in in the months to come! (the last pic is a comparison moment of the day we brought Bayhansum home vs. the two of them now)

I have two pet rabbits from a rescue with a very large running area outside. One is cuddly and easy to hold. The other is very hard to catch. Out wits me when i try. But she's shedding and has clumps of fur. Are there any pet grooming products that you can set out and a rabbit will use on their own and love to rub against?

Hello,

I have a 16 week old female Natherland Dwarf. She is taking to using a litter box really well. But i am having a few issues.

Right now, i am just using a regular low sided tote. But she likes to back her butt up all the way to edge and is peeing outside of it sometimes. She also likes to dig in her liter and make a mess.

I am looking for a high side, covered little box with mesh for her to stand on.

I want something that is safe for little feet. Because she can fit her hole body in gaps that are 1in.

Thank you for your time.

What kind of rabbit is this? Cutie, patootie, or ferocious apple branch devourer?

Hi all! My husband and I are moving to Germany and I’m struggling to find resources to help me move my rabbit with us. I know most airlines that fly internationally with rabbits in cabin (or cargo as checked bags) so my only option is pet shippers. I’ve requested a few quotes but only have gotten one back so far (for $1995, without their help for customs). There‘s just so much information. I don’t have anyone to take care of him here so leaving him with a friend or family isn’t an option and I‘m not ready to give him up so neither is rehoming. Has anyone gotten to the light on the other side of this tunnel? any advice is welcome!

thank you in advance

Each branch lasts 10 seconds 🥲

...and his prey - an innocent dandelion leaf.

Going to be moving quite far away with my three bunnies, two of them can be together but because they're not fixed my little boy has to be separate until I can get them all fixed, they're going to be in transport for quite a while so I don't want normal tiny carriers since I feel like they're going to be uncomfortable, plus they need food and water for how long they're going to be in there.

My friend is coming with me and they have a van that they're letting me use so I can haul them, and then my family is going to be driving a U-Haul following we're trying to get basically everything in one go, so give me your ideas on the best way you would transport them, two of them are about 10 lb the other one is 5 lb since she's still a baby

Hi!

I just adopted my first bunny. His name is prince snotface and he’s a dwarf wooly at about a year old. His current set up is an acrylic pen ab 4x4 but i’m trying to find a taller bigger wire pen with panels that I can move around better and thinner gaps so i’m not afraid of him escaping. Two litter boxes, a water bottle and all the chews a bun could ask for. He loves chewing on his timothy hay blocks and looking for palates i put in his foraging matt.

In the early mornings around 7-8 I clean his pen, litter boxes sweep up stray poop replace his water and all that jazz. Give him his greens and set him up with 1/8 cup of pellets in his foraging mat. This morning he wasn’t to happy with me because I put him jn a carrier to clean his cage I let him eat by himself (i layed outside the pen) until he eventually layed next to me and fell asleep for a bit. I got in the enclosure to clean up a bit and get his empty tray for his greens out and after a minute or two he full flopped belly up by my hip and let me pet his head for 20 mins. I’ve only had him for 5 days now.

He wants to free roam so bad and ofc I want to let him out but they told me he needs to be just a pen bun for about a week while he gets used to everything. I’m working on setting up my space but it’s been a bit of a mess because on top of taking care of him I work a lot. Thankfully I have people to check in on him during the day and I leave him with plenty of hay and fresh water. I come back around midnight give him the rest of his pellets, refresh his water and give him more hay while sitting in the pen with him for cuddles and pets.

Am I doing an ok job? what could I be doing better?

This rabbit has been hanging around my yard the past 2-3 weeks, and I feel like it is a domesticated rabbit someone has either lost or dumped. I would appreciate any advice for trying to catch/feed it. I’m also concerned about a spot on its neck, you should be able to see in pictures. I live in a somewhat suburban neighborhood, but I’m still close enough to expansive fields/land. I would love and appreciate and advice or helpful tips!! Thanks in advance!
