    Product Design Student planning to make a new type of hutch

    How many Rabbits do you currently own? 5 How long have you owned your rabbit/rabbits for? For about 3 years, a little less I think. Do you own a Hutch for your rabbit/s? If yes, what kind of Hutch and what is the estimated size? I own one custom built wooden "hutch" for my three pet rabbits...

    Pregnant doe, day 32, no nesting at all!

    I've had a first-time doe build a nest after she gave birth. She may be pregnant and the hormones just aren't kicking in yet - especially if she's a first-timer.

    Trying to Identify...

    If it's not harming your rabbits, it's likely after your rabbit's feed. My guess would be some squirrel, so I did a bit of searching and found a video of Southern Flying Squirrel making a similar sound to the one in your video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRzT-GprEAk) I don't know much...

    Weight Loss

    I was using Pro-Bios (Multi-species), I could not find a rabbit specific probiotic, nor the commonly used bene-bac at the time. However they did have ruminant specific probiotics, but from my understanding rabbits are not ruminant and their digestive system compares most to horses (hindgut...

    Weight Loss

    June 30th, my doe weighed 6 pounds and 8 ounces (normal, good weight for her.) Today my doe weighs 5 pounds and 10 ounces. She feels bony, and looks bony, but her appetite and energy seems unaffected - not that that changes the fact that she is underweight and way to suddenly! My doe has been...

    Good pet recommendations?

    If you think an English Spot would be good for her, perhaps a Checkered Giant? I don't believe they are the cuddliest of breeds nor the easiest to handle, but all that I have seen have an entertaining spunk and confident attitude. (A very active breed- not the best for a lap bun, but for a...

    Ear Infection!?

    Thank you all for the replies! I decided to take her to the vet, because the ear infection seemed to be getting rapidly worse. I have kept ya'll's suggestions in mind for future, but currently my vet has prescribed her an oral antibiotic called Enrofloxacin, 2 mls per day for 10 days. I'm a...

    Ear Infection!?

    I have some apple cider vinegar somewhere around, so I'll try to see if it'll improve with that. I unfortunately do not have any antibiotics on hand, but could make a trip to the feed store tomorrow. Any suggestions on which antibiotics to look for?

    Ear Infection!?

    On the 6th, I noticed my velveteen lop doe had been scratching at her ears to point of hair loss and scabbing. My barncat which often has close contact with her, had also been scratching at her ears. So while I saw nothing within the doe's ear, I treated them both for ear mites. I have been...

    Replacing Fur in Nesting Box

    Has anyone tried replacing a mother doe's spoiled fur in the nesting box with another doe's fur? I have a lot of fur I've been hoarding from false pregnancies from various does, and wonder if I can use some of it to keep the nesting box cleaner but still warm and cozy! (my doe will be inside) I...

    Vinyl Coated Wire vs 14 Gauge Wire?

    Hello, I've been in a dilemma over what type of floor I should purchase for my small Velveteen Lop herd. They are/will be show rabbits so wire flooring is a must to keep their fur clean. However, the breed is prone to sore hocks too. (I have yet to have any open sores however, just loss of...
