What's the deal with rabbits deciding that some hay is for eating and some hay is for building/throwing/hiding? Do they ever reclassify building hay as eating hay?

It's looking more and more like my boyfriend and I are going to go our separate ways. The only thing is his cat and my bunny have become pals. He has done nothing to make sure his cat is up to date on his vaccinations or anything. I really want to keep his cat (my bunny's vet has given me a quota to get the cat up to date in everything. My soon to be ex groaned at the price. I know his cat will not get proper care unless I take full responsibility.) The two are pals.

So, I'm looking for a new roommate right now and have gotten responses from two people with dogs. One is said to grow to 22 pounds, and the other is a chihuahua. Should I decline both for Harriet's sake?

If there's any other way I'd avoid people with cats or dogs. Or ferrets or anything like that. The rabbit will never be comfortable with a predator around. Any sign of predatory behavior and she will be terrified out of her mind. Even if they don't show predatory behavior. If anything goes wrong it might not even be their fault. But why risk it? I guess what I'm saying is get one with a rabbit

Well I'm not an expert. But I doubt they'd mind each other much. But I do know that some rodents should not share living environments with a rabbit because of... bacteria or something? I know that's true for guinea pigs. Then again as long as they don't share a cage I don't think it matters much.

Guinea pigs very commonly carry bacteria dangerous to rabbits. I don't know whether rats do, but when I had rats, Gordon didn't care about them unless one of them was chasing her.

Seemed like the best place to ask, sorry if this breaks the "no vet advice" rule. There's a rabbit outside in my apartment parking lot that's been chilling under a car for like 3+ hours now. I don't see any obvious signs of injury but it let me walk right up next to it and it's acting kind of weird so I'm thinking something is wrong with it. I put a piece of celery right next to it and it hopped once about 4 inches away and it seemed to hop just fine. There was also about a dozen pieces of rabbit poo under there with it. It's also holding its head at a strange angle. Is the rabbit just being weird? This is Portland so maybe even the rabbits are weird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u7H9cxFbK8 hayden. fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Aug 5, 2013 |

If it is consistently holding its head at an angle, it most likely has head tilt. If it's friendly enough that you could get next to it, then it most likely is/was someone's pet.

Does it have a scab on its back, too? Could you try to either catch it or call a rescue in the area?

Its ears look pretty frayed, if it's a house pet it's been in the wild quite a while. I looked up head tilt and it looks like it can be caused by stroke or trauma, so maybe it was hit by a car or maybe it had a stroke. luscious posted:Does it have a scab on its back, too? I took a box out there with the celery to see if I could coax it out but frankly I don't want to remove it from its habitat unless it won't survive without intervention.

Bitsy is being really affectionate. She's happily sitting on the edge of the couch letting me pet her getting all doe eyed when I do. No pee and no poops left behind... just pure love.

An abandoned pet that is either sick or friendly enough not to even attempt to avoid you probably isn't going to survive too well in that habitat, honestly. If you were to see it again it would be for the best to find a rescue or something to take it to.

I didn't notice a scab on its back but I also didn't get a great look at it. It does not have a 'habitat'. A pet rabbit does NOT belong in the wild. And it will not survive without intervention. That whole rabbits belonging outside idea is a huge misconception. Wild rabbits obviously should be outside. Pet rabbits are fluffballs with no survival instinct. They have no idea where to get food. They have no clue how to find decent shelter. They will be terrified most of the time. It's only a matter of time before a dog chews on it, a car runs it over, it succumbs to illness or starvation, you name it. Sooo keep that in mind if you happen to see it again, or any other pet rabbit that's outside. Please try your best to get it to a rescue.

Would a pet rabbit have frayed ears like that? I don't get why it wouldn't have taken the celery if it was some starving house pet.

It could have ear mites, which would make the ears look that way. As for the not eating the celery, it might not have been able to eat anything. Rabbits can develop dental issues given enough time with very little attention. Also, because it is a rabbit.

The funny thing about this picture is that like half the questions are really easy to answer. Rabbits pee on your bed because it smells like you, you can't hold it because they have powerful back legs and sharp claws and don't really like being held, it eats coroplast because if it didn't it would die, and so forth.

Yup, I am. To be fair, I think if rabbits do not arbitrarily destroy things they might die. The word I was confusing it with was "caecotroph."

Any of you guys have any place for bulk hay that has decent shipping rates to the west coast? Kleenmama hasn't had any 2nd cut timothy in a while, and each box of 3rd cut I've gotten has been worse and worse. My rabbits love the really stemmy 2nd cut, and the 3rd just doesn't interest them. I can get 33-36 lbs for about the same from american pet diner, and it looks like Drs. Foster % Smith have free shipping, but only Oxbow hay, which I've heard not great things about. Although one of the main complaints is the dust, and I've been getting a TON of dust in my Kleenmama shipments. Anywhere else I can look? It should be noted my buns don't like bluegrass, just the stemmy Timothy. E: Gonna try Drs. Foster and Smith, they have a sale on their brand of hay that'll be smaller, less messy packages, and great prices on treats. Deceptor101 fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Aug 8, 2013 |

So, this is my first venture into rabbit ownership. Had one as a kid but didn't take care of it too terribly well, so now I want one as an adult. I've read all the faqs I could get my hands on, got a large room set off just for a bun, and have already stockpiled pellets and hay. However, I really want a Dutch rabbit. I don't know why, they're just so adorable to me. But it's hard to find Dutch breeders in the middle of hickland, so the search has been a bit exhaustive. Anyways, this is where I need you guy's help. I've recently found a guy on Craigslist that will sell me a Dutch, but he left this cryptic note. "She does not play well with other bunnies." Giant red flag, I know. Still, is this a complete deal breaker? What would I expect from a rabbit that "doesn't play well with other bunnies"? I'm contemplating sending him an email asking for more details, but I want your opinions.

To be honest that's really not that uncommon. If a rabbit came from a mill or hasn't really been around other rabbits they may not socialize well without some effort on your part. Really doesn't make much of a difference about how good of a pet they'll make. When I had rabbits with my ex we had a male Dutch and a female French Harlequin, and they straight up hated each other for almost three years. Like chasing, biting, growling, fur ripping, terrible smells, the whole deal. They had cages close to each other but weren't allowed out at the same time. One day they just decided to start getting along and are now bonded. Bunnies are mysterious little creatures.
