I have been using PDZ granules underneath the grate in my Giant angora's litterbox. Its fantastic. My new rabbit is a French and I was told that initial litter box training might go best without the grate. The question is can a rabbit safely come in direct contact with the PDZ? The website...

Excellent! I have decided to go for it. I am picking him up Saturday. For the time being he will be in a dog crate with litterbox till I get to know him. Once I gauge his potty habits and personality I will go for a pen or a real cage. I expect some trouble at first, maybe even potty habits on...

So I have one intact male angora who is really a very chill dude, he's just over a year. He has excellent litter habits as well. I personally see neutering as an elective procedure if there are no behavior issues. I do not free roam him, he lives in a pen and is let out to explore as my schedule...

I have trimmed him on the belly area but left the coat on his back to grow longer. I don't think his spine feels sharp. He definitely feels more filled out than when I first got him, its just hard to tell through all that fluff.I forgot to weigh him the morning before work. I know rabbits can...

So first I want to say that I am very new to rabbits and second that my boy is a 1 year old Giant Angora When I got him the breeder said his last weigh in was just under 8lbs and that he might stay a smaller guy. Giant weight range says he should be 10lbs at least He gets unlimited ROWE...

If you are looking for Giants Colleen Boyd from Touch of Bunny in MI and Emily Ashton from Ashton Homestead in OH sell Giants. I got my Giant from Emily.

I kinda figured as much on the gauge. I got a 3rd related question then. I could also order two smaller panels as floor bottoms, I am thinking shipping would be cheaper then BUT is there a risk to the rabbit then? I would be using zip ties to secure them but dont want to pinch any rabbit feet...

First question If I only need 4 ft of cage bottom wire is there any place cheaper than Klubertanz who wants to charge $40 for shipping or KW where the total for the wire and the shipping is $40? Second question- how vital is it that cage wire be 14 gauge 1x1/2- would larger sizes be ok or...

I like the idea of cheap and not needing to build a stand ie littterbox method. I'm converting a huge dog crate 30x48x36, but I also like ease of care and not worrying about the bun getting messy and cleaning everyday. That being said, sweeping out a few bunny berries doesnt actually seem like...

You could use barchewing as a cue to leave the room, so chew bars object if wanted attention leaves. Pair that with the bell idea an I bet he'll learn fast

I should add that this is an angora rabbit and is currently kept by the breeder on wire- they said it was more sanitary- but they are also kept in a barn

Converting a dog crate to a rabbit cage for a large long haired rabbit. In terms of hygiene, smell, cleaning, and easy of care what are the pros and cons of a litter box vs wire bottom for an indoor rabbit. It would be easier for me to leave it flat bottom however I could take apart the crate...

I really wouldn't worry about it, especially if your dog didnt react much, chances are no one will notice. I've bonked my own dogs during agility class before. Once my border collie tried to run around me the wrong direction and I stuck a foot out to block her path, well I accidentally ended up...

One average, when bringing in new bloodlines, how long is a buck kept for breeding before moving on to a new home? I ask out of curiosity. What is the prime breeding age range for a breeding buck?

I have an old bamboo cutting board that got retired- it started to split. I was wondering if this would be safe to repurpose as a bunny shelf in the cage. Scrub with soap and boiling water to get any lingering food particles, maybe bake it to completely disinfect, there are a couple food dye...
