    The video I linked you I'm not even speaking, I was in the middle of plucking her cause her babies kept climbing on her back and were causing mats. I wouldve waited a bit more otherwise. When she turned into goo I found it so funny I had to film it and thats where the video came from. But you...

    GI stasis

    I'm glad you decided to take him to the vet. I agree with his decision to avoid those meds. You'd been giving him gas drops for a while now and while those can help, too much/too long of em can make things worse. I hope he makes it.

    GI stasis

    Any major diet change will trigger these issues. Especially if its new hay and fresh veggies he's not used to. Go back to what worked for him before, skip the new stuff until he's healthy again. I will be dreadfully honest this sounds like a critical case and many of us have had those before...

    did you not watch my video that I linked to you twice? XD Plucking will pull at hair strands, so it will come from the skin. You're not breaking the fur. It's is super easy, even if she wiggles you can do it. Mine loves it so she turns into goo, but its rly easy, she wiggles? grab at the side...

    If when you try to pull at the fur it comes by itself, just pluck her. You can tell how much Barbie loves being plucked on my video, she'd fit well in the "dead rabbits" thread. Plucking will allow you to evenly reduce the shedding wool without making her look like a funky poodle. I dont mind...

    One thing you could try if there's a buck you can borrow is to mate yours. Some does with bad tempers will mellow down after they had babies. Some will be absolute monsters when they have kits too but it's a gamble. Either way, if she has babies, you can hand raise them, you'll know who is...

    Breed "common" temperament descriptions are very misleading. They dont take account of each individuals, they're assumed molds. Each rabbit is different even between brother and sisters. I've had some of my gentler and most social bunnies be born along with what I call a "hair monster" who just...

    **WARNING GRAPHIC** worst wound on my own rabbits yet

    I cut their claws monthly. So it's not that. There were bite marks near it so my guess is it ripped from a bite that wouldnt let go. No picture for today, but it's already better, the muscle is now covered with a dry skin layer and I can move it and make it ripple. This means there's healthy...

    Pairing buns in the same cage, do or don't?

    I leave my does a few days with my bucks but no more. My friend however tends to do what you did leaving the doe with him a long time, but I've once had to clean up a miscarage one of them had at 2 weeks cause she was too stressed cause of the buck. Like MaggieJ said. If you feel they are...

    Hutch moving suggestions?

    Nice, grats on getting it over in 1 piece. Did you just lift it as a group?

    If she's grinding her teeth she's upset or in pain. If its a soft quiet chatter; that's rabbit purring (aka happy bunny). As for the sticks, pet shop or online. Look up rabbit chew toy, not all rabbits like em though.

    Hutch moving suggestions?

    I moved a similar heavy hutch with my dad before. He refused to wait till my friend came to help saying the dolly would be fine as long as we put it on. This wasnt the case, it broke one of the wheels off and one of the legs of the hutch broke too. So dont rely on the dolly. Your best bet I...

    mmmm how about those apple sticks? They're little branches they can chew at. Nikita loves em, I actually ran out of those XD Just be patient, you can bond even without toys or treats. I have 2 exemples if that: Eva was the first lionhead I bought, she's only single mane, but she has a great...

    My only rabbit who eats treats is Nikita, no one else likes em or will only eat them if they've been left in their cage for hours and like MaggieJ said in my graphic tread I have too many rabbits right now XD Insted, try giving em veggies or apple slices. My dad bought Bokchoys the other day...

    **WARNING GRAPHIC** worst wound on my own rabbits yet

    You're not wrong. I do have too many rabbits right now, I still have those baby rabbits I didnt send to the shelter + 3 moms with their own 1 month olds. Rabbits are just not selling right now and the leftover from my crisis are crowding things. I also have a lot of temporary males. Aniki will...

    I "sort of" have 2 First there is Nikita : http://kimitsukouseki.wixsite.com/bunbun-stories/nikita She was full coat when I bought her and sold as being a pure english angora. She looked it on the pictures... but in person she was tiny, smaller then some of my lionhead girls. So she was a "rip...

    **WARNING GRAPHIC** worst wound on my own rabbits yet

    So, many of you probably noticed over time how I tend to deal with many wounded or infected rabbits. That would be my friend's rabbits, not my own. She does continental giants and holland lops and I dont know what it is about her rabbits but they always have wounds, broken bones and absesses. So...

    Kits Leaving Nest Box

    They're not "exacly" V shaped, but you get it by looking at it. The angle gives the doe plenty of room to go through while making it a bit more secure for the kits. By the time they figure out where the lowest part of the wall is, they can travel as they wish without any issue.

    Kits Leaving Nest Box

    Thats a good idea. Me my nests arent designed in a way I can move em to their sides. Most have high walls in a triangle shape (like this |/ ) to make it easier for the doe to move about. Never had a baby fall out from one of these and the moms have easy access. Once the babies can jump out of...

    This a scam?

    100% a scam. You should NEVER be asked for all that info through text/phone/email. ANYTHING that ever asks for that is always 100% a scam and a poor attempt at scamming too. Even if they give you a link to verify something, unless you knew it was coming (aka account creation or password change)...
