Do rabbits really need water bowls vs water bottles? because I know that if I put a bowl in there my rabbit with flip it over no matter what. and the website needs work design/code wise, it was like a blast from the past but fun!

girlscoutdropout posted:It's not a life or death matter if they have a water bowl, my bunnies do like to dip their paws in it and clean their face. My bunny tipped every water bowl I had and I eventually bought a large ceramic dog crock. It's about 7-8" round so it's too big for her to turn over. There are some large rabbits that will tip over everything, and for those, you will have you use a water bottle. Maybe if your bunny has access to a place with tile or linoleum you could put the water bowl there so they have access during playtime. Then, if they spill, it will be easy to clean. Just a suggestion. no the website works fine it can just be done with allot less code/work. And I'll have to keep an eye out for large bowls

I got my rabbit from a pet store so he knew what a watter bottle was, not a litter box though.

any difference between sun dried timothy hay and normal green stuff besides lack of water? And we got another bunny 3month old female broken lop/dwarf from but she's rib counting skinny yet eats alot (loves banana's of course), taking her to the vet this week but any ideas? fake edit; our local rabbit breeder for the stores sucks rear end so i wouldn't put it passed the rabbit being ill.

TheDeadKnow posted:Does anyone else have a bunny that doesn't seem interested in toys, or is Momo ignoring his just because his run space is, currently, the entire house? I plan on sectioning off areas soon, slowly shrinking him down, so when we move back to my mom's, it won't be such a shock that he can't rush the entire house down. Will he be more responsive to toys when he has less room to run? my rabbit had toy's and never used them he has a ball with a bell but i think he just pushes it to get it out of his way. he only likes digging and trying to hump the female rabbit.

NMR posted:At the risk of sounding naive, a manufacturer wouldn't put paint on a rabbit cage that was bad for them would they? mine doesnt bite the bar just grabs a hold of them with his teeth and shakes them to make noise for food. edit: my rabbit liked this one toy that was a ball made out of sticks with hay inside that stuck out on one side, only lasted a month till he destroyed it.

if they run around long enough they much eventually lie down for a bit. my bunny always run around for 10mins rest for 3-4mins, he really likes it when I pet him them.

Bobblehead Biddy posted:Ugh, help me PI. Since adding an extension to Houdini's cage, he seems to have completely forgotten that he's litterbox trained. He's pooping and peeing everywhere now. Since the cage is on the floor of my bedroom, I have the bottom and top space where he can jump up lined with old towels. Is this the issue? Or is there any way I can remind him that the litterbox exists? I'm trying to think of a harder surface I can line the cage with, but I'm stuck for ideas. Probably just marking new territory, or he's lazy like my rabbits and doesn't want to travel to the litterbox. Try picking up another box for him to use in the new extension.

I started with one bunny, now I have 3. first rabbit bubbles, I got young and handled him constantly, only thing he hates is being snatched from his cage for exercise time. my youngest female bunny buttercup some sort of dwarf mix hates getting scooped up and will grunt/attack(still cute!) if you don't show her who you are. my newest bunny is a medium sized tortoise lop and is a total cuddle monster. took them to all get fixed last week for a total of $800, now I'm working creating a blob of bunny's. lots of work but worth it if you love bunny's. I'll get some new pictures up when they have bonded.

Feed my rabbit this pink strawberry goop when he was backed up and stopped eating. would cradle him on his back petting his forehead, He hates all medicine but I found putting a bit on his lip or just outside his mouth made him lick it off with his tongue. my other two loved this honey flavored pain medicine from when they where fixed, I just let them lick it off the syringe.

Any possibility of bonding two females who currently go into Attack mode the second they see each other? When ever try and fight, one or both release this weird Oder as well. Right now my one female is bonded with my male rabbit.(almost no grooming yet)

could try cardboard, Rabbits will usually pick a spot for food/bathroom, find where he goes the most and plop down a litter box with hay, since the rabbit is new to the location he's just laying down territorial markings.

Anyone have any tips for bonding two female rabbits that go into insta-kill mode the second they see each other. right now their cages are side by side somewhat (one cage is higher up), so they can smell / she each other.

GoodApollo posted:Anybody else have buns who just don't seem to care about this? Random but I always think it's weird how mine don't seem to care too much. Mine only get pissed if you pick them up. I can move their house around, cages, etc but only picking them up or trying to grab them gets a thump.  Bubbles (left) and Lafonduh (right, wanted to call her twoface) get along during play time.  This is buttercup, who's currently bonded with bubbles. Yet starts fights with Ladonduh.

I need to find those kitchen organizers fast. he's gonna crap and piss where the food is at, might as well put all his food in that blue dish with all the rabbit poop in it. I found a small cat litter box bottoms work too, they come in all sizes.

My dwarf mix we call crazy bitch(her actual name is buttercup, till we learned what evil lurks inside!), since she's always grunting or trying to attack the second you try to do something she disapproves of.

Anyone ever have a bunny that Snores? One of my rabbits (buttercup aka crazy biatch  )is quite vocal always grunting and snorting at me or anyone that does things that displeases her, along with a furious harmless scratch attack. (how she got the 'crazy biatch' nickname)But I've noticed when she's sleeping that she makes these snorts and noises every time she is asleep. I'm gonna book a vet appoint sometime soon for my two buns just for a physical anyway but figured I'd ask if anyone has ever had a bunny that does the same. fake edit: their bedding is just newspaper and timothy hay and a rubber mat for their outer pen, so dust doesn't seem to be the issue.

Skizzles posted:I may or may not have bought a pen for Cinnabun. I would have gotten the slightly bigger one, but this one had a door I could connect her cage to as well as a cover that would fit the bottom. This way the pen can just be for running around playing, and the cage can be her food/water/potty place. Nice! I did the same thing except out of the wire cube pieces and zipties. works great since they still use their cage as a litterbox. just need some tunnels or a cardboard box for hiding

Remora posted:I've been looking into getting another rabbit to bond with my dwarf (who, apparently, is defective because he doesn't bite and only destroys cardboard boxes and only pees in his litterbox), and I know someone who is looking to rehome a one-year-old giant chinchilla. Is this a bad idea? Am I asking for trouble trying to keep a 10-pound and a 2.5-pound pair? Should I bother trying the rabbit+chinchilla thing at all? The chinchilla does need to be spayed (the dwarf is neutered), but I have the space to keep them separated for the foreseeable future. They might be able to become friendly and possibly play together but I would defiantly house them apart. my dwarf is defective as well, only time she get's angry is if you pick her up or don't put the food down quick enough so she'll either stomp around or grunt at you. before I got her fixed she would also try to lunge attack with paws of furry but that's pretty much turned into just grunting. my other dwarf mix is a big lovable softy and loves anything that has to do with him getting affection as my female dwarf doesn't groom him no matter how much he tries. edit: although they do Love to rip up all the nice neat newspaper i lay down in one side of this large plastic pen bottom i use for their food/water/toilet area.

blinkeve1826 posted:She gave me a syringe with which to administer it orally, like one you might use with an infant (I don't know why I forgot to mention that), so you might wanna try that--I wouldn't have been able to do it either if I was using a spoon or something. Good luck! Did the same thing, luckily the medicine came in a syringe and the vet showed me how to do it when they gave my buns their first dose. basically get someone to hold them or hold them yourself. (but that's more tricky) Than insert the syringe in the side of their mouth behind their large front teeth and push down on the plunger. I have two bunnies and bubbles hates the stuff while buttercup would actually lick it off the syringe as it was banana flavoured, but bubbles could tell it was still just covering up the medicine taste hehehe.
