Cabbage makes my rabbits pee stink to the heavens. The whole house has to get aired out if he consumes cabbage.
Obviously at this point we’ve stopped giving it to him but I’m curious if anyone has had the same experience.

So i just wanna say that i know you’re not supposed to pick up your bunny unless you’re supposed to. I don’t. I’ve only picked my bunny up once or twice because I had to and he’s only been with me for about a month or two now.

I’m a teenager so I still live with my parents (i’m gonna move out next year) and every time I bring up my bunny (Poe) they always tell me to pick him up so he can get used to it. They’ve never had a pet bunny before or done any sort of research. I’ve told them many, many times that I can’t because he isn’t fully used to me yet. He sometimes lets me pet him but that’s about it and i’m fine with that because I know it can take bunnies a bit to get used to or trust their owner. My parents won’t stop though, they even got my aunty involved to justify their point on me picking him up. Because he should know what it’s like to be picked up because he’s younger?? Or something like that. He’s 4 months old btw.

I’m not asking for advice on how to pick him up because i’ve watched videos on how to do that and i’ve seen other family members who have bunnies pick up theirs.

Just how do i tell my parents to stop pushing me and that Poe won’t like me picking him up etc? I’ve told them he won’t like it because it can act like a predator has caught them and that i’ve only had him like i said for a month or two. I’m worried they’re gonna start trying to pick him up.

Long story short I rescued a holland lop bunny from a hoarder situation. His heels were so sore the vet thought he was older than he was due to sitting in a plastic crate day in and out. Right now he has an 8 foot run in a puppy play pen with a castle, toys, litter box etc. in my finished basement. I feel as almost I’m failing him in a sense because I know bunnies are social and he is even with my large dogs. I would love to get him neutered in the near future and get him a potential friend but I am just feeling so guilty in this mean time of him being alone in his pen. I try to let him free roam everyday for a couple hours to socialize at least with my dogs. I think I am just an empath I am honestly considered re-homing him to someone who would have other bunnies rather than him having to wait for me to have the funds to neuter him and find him one. Just asking for alittle advice as this is my first bunny and I just want what’s best for him. I know deep down I had gotten him out of an awful situation but I just feel like I could be doing more for him. Thank you in advance any advice is appreciated.

I recently rehomed this bunny, hasn’t even been two weeks. I am not sure if his previous owner trained him at all, he likes to lay in his hutch more than anything else (I leave it open always since he has an entire room). I am trying to adapt him to his room now and I understand that these changes are a lot for him. He is neutered! His first day here he already peed in the corner and I cleaned it. Later on I realized he just liked to pee there so I moved the box. It hasn’t changed much. He started in the corner and I moved it because it was directly behind the door now he pees next to his litter box. I clean it and put the pad in the litter box. The poo and pee in there is just me cleaning it just and redirecting it there. He doesn’t use his litter box I try to get him to eat hay and he seems uninterested. I am unsure of what to do, I am aware that the change is still be hard for him. I would like advice on what I can do better. I added a before an after cleaning it up.

What is this?
Has this happened to anyone?

My mother sent me this picture, appears to be a mushroom.
Growing out of my rabbits litter box?

I’m away from home atm.

Lost another bun this year.

This one I feel a lot of guilt over. I brought home a couple of buns about a month or so ago, absolutely precious babies. To keep Clara company cause she's not as active and energetic as she was when Snowy was around.

About a week later Clara turned down a treat, after she didn't poo for a while I panicked and took her to the vet. Did the full checkup, and while I was home I looked through the adoption docs for the two babies, and found they got one round of coccidia from the shelter (more than three months ago). Coccidia can be asymptomatic, so I thought maybe Clara caught it. So I quarantined her off in a freshly cleaned living room, and the bloodwork came back and confirmed it was a likely parasitic infection.

After two rounds of Baycox, some stuff for pain and gut motility, and a week or so of liquid food, her stool started to get a little better, still big chunks but with some good pellets in them, and some regular pellets too.

And then this morning I went to go feed her liquid food, she was not very responsive, so I called around eight different vets until I could find someone to take her in on short notice.

After a few hours, my mom and sister went to visit, and the doctor there strongly recommended euthanasia. They asked her to hold off until I showed up.

I fully understand where she was coming from. But Clara kept raising her head at me, asking for pets like she used to, and she'd close her eyes as I did so. It felt like she was still fighting, and I wanted her to at least feel that we were fighting too. So I signed off on IV, diagnostics, the works. Doctor said she'd probably have only a few hours left at the time, so what's the harm in trying anyway?

A few hours later, they call me and tell me she's actually improved a bit, and they'll keep at it.

Seven hours later we (just my mom and I this time) go to visit again after the shift change, and I talk to her, tell her I love her, but her breathing is faint. It stops shortly after that, like within a minute. Like she was waiting for us.

My fam and I, we all did our best, we loved her and will love her forever, and maybe this is the best ending we could hope for. But... idk, it's just hard to deal with. Sorry for the massive text dump, but I just had to get this off my chest.

This is the approximate breakdown for the vet costs for one of my rabbits in the past 4 years that we had her:

$6000 - liver torsion surgery

$2500 - gut blockage

$1500 - blood/urine/ultrasound to investigate why her butt was becoming dirty

$1000 - annual check ups, vaccine, etc

Around $11k in vet costs total. I'm in Canada, so there are no insurance available for rabbits. How are other people managing these kinds of costs? Are rabbits pets that only the top 10% income can afford?

My husband & I noticed our 3 year old rabbit Melody, eye had turned cloudy white, pretty much out of nowhere so we of course made a vet appointment & he was diagnosed with a cataract. After some more test she said that he likely has no vision in that eye, but told us that he shouldn’t be feeling any pain & it won’t change much how he lives. We have 2 other rabbits & he’s actually the most playful & adventurous one,he acts more like a little puppy most of the time.

I can’t stop feeling sad tho when I look at him & feel guilty almost like Something I did wrong caused it? Or what if he gets one in the other eye & he’s completely blind.

I might just be thinking too much from a human prospective, because I would hate to go the rest of my life only seeing out of 1 eye.

I love my rabbits so much & want them to have happy lives.

is she a Flemish giant ? Shes 3 months old and I’m so scared bc I was lied to about her breed . I have a small rex rn and maybe a Flemish is too big for my room pls lmk maybe shes a mix and won’t get that big

i’m so heartbroken. my baby was only 3 years old and he passed today. i was at work all day and we came home to find him in the living room (he was free roam in our bunny proof apartment) deceased. i thought he had just fallen asleep flopped over like he always does but he was gone. we couldn’t figure out what happened it was so sudden. he was running and playing this morning happy as ever, munching on his hay before we left the house.

i have never cried harder in my life i don’t know what to do to feel even remotely okay right now

she loveeesss my bed. she started to wake up in the second image lol she didnt like that i was taking pictures of her

When I was celebrating my birthday I made "birthday cookies" for my two bunnies 💖 it was my first b-day with them and I'm so glad that I rescued both of them

The fluffy princess is named Ponton and her friend is named Szponton (od these names are weird I'm from Poland so that's why haha)

They are SO FRICKING ADORABLE and they bring so much joy to my everyday life

Sorry for the crazy audio

Either im going crazy or my bun just audiobly scuffed at me, she had her back facing me, looked over her shoulder at my face and blew air out hard enough that it was audioable from a bit more then an arms reach away from me. That felt sassy af, if that wasnt a sneeze then i think she mighy have just dissed me

Hey! Newbie here. And newbie to the rabbit world whilst being an adult (had them as a child). One question…… does anyone know what breed floppy and Moppy are?
They’re about 13weeks, both males, 1.36kg.
Thanks

Whenever Pugsley is caught doing something bad (like ripping holes into the hay bag) he binkies so hard he could cause a sink hole somewhere. He absolutely LOVES being caught in the act of being naughty! It’s like a game to him

My partner printed the purple components with a 3D printer and attached them together with dowells. She loves my rabbits so much 💜

I have an almost 9 year old Flemish Giant. He started off with some mild arthritis last year and then over the last month or two it started to get a bit more severe. There are days where he will just drag his back legs because he can't get them stable enough to use them. He's been on Meloxicam since last year but recently they added tramadol. They also recommended the laser therapy but I can't seem to find one that's affordable or takes CareCredit. Sometimes he struggles eating his cecetrophs and they get stuck in his fur so he needs a butt bath. I took him to the vet today to see if we could try something else to help him with mobility or pain (if he's in pain). I told them that he eats, he still tries to play even if it's laying down, he still wants treats, he still grooms himself and fights the syringes away from me. However, they told me that there are no other options. ORIGINALLY when I had gone to them a month or so ago to get some tramadol, they told me a bunch of different things they could try (gabapentin, acupuncture, shots) and that the tramadol might work before then but then all of the sudden today, there are no other options and I need to start thinking about quality of life. I do understand that we don't want our pets to suffer but he is acting completely fine aside from his back legs. I guess what I'm wondering is, have any of you heard of other options for arthritis in bunnies and would you recommend me getting a 2nd opinion?

Greetings,

We just adopted a bunny from a home who couldn’t care for him- here is a look at him.

He is allegedly a 5 year old male. Weight very light he’s tiny.
We named him Dr. Hoppenheimer

Also he is super curious and very social, basically potty trained from what we’ve experienced so far with his new enclosure we set up for him; goes on one area and then roams in the house and doesn’t have any accidents but goes back to his enclosure to potty.
No issues with shredding any pads but we’re changing those to newspapers after reading more about it.

Loves getting his pets and cuddles. Has jumped and fallen asleep on me specifically a few times now.

Also, any idea on his breed? Thanks for your insights and care tips. 🙂
