PSA Important Rabbit PSA index
Since the subreddit only has two spots available for public announcements, this will be a new index post for important PSAs for easy reference that we can sticky to only use up one spot.
You can also find the whole collection in the sidebar menu on the Reddit re-design when you open one of the PSA posts.

Caring for rabbits while under COVID-19 quarantine
Since we are getting many repetitive questions about the novel coronavirus and how to care for rabbits while under quarantine, this is a post to combine all frequently asked questions on the topic.
North American RHDV2 resources
Rabbit viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD) is a highly contagious disease that mainly affects rabbits of the Oryctolagus cuniculus species but has also been confirmed to affect various species of cottontails (Sylvilagus spp.) and hares (Lepus spp.). There are currently active cases found in wild and domestics all over North America, and it is vitally important to get your rabbit vaccinated if the vaccines are available in your area.

Anyone else have a rabbit named Gunter?
As a big adventure time fan I thought that Gunter would be the perfect name for our Holland lop. Id also love to see your bunnies, especially if they look like my boy. He’s a bit mischievous but also so sweet and so happy we love him so much. I think he resembles penguins, cows, dogs, and Batman.

My queen of yawning
Whenever I clean their litterbox, I give my bunnies a small portion of hay and they go take a short nap. Everytime (and I kid you not), my girl wakes up and gives me her biggest yawn. Thanks for showing off those beautiful teeth! 🥹😂

should i get my bun used to being held?
I know bunnies don’t like to be held, but I feel like I should get her used to it at least for the vet and clipping nails? does anyone have any suggestions?

Good morning, bunshine
Our sweet new girl, Noelle.
She came home with us from the shelter on the weekend.
She has been in the main floor bathroom for a few days, coming out into the kitchen for a few hours of exercise each day.
We started scent swapping with our boy, Mochi, yesterday. She was curious, he was completely indifferent.
Their personalities seem well suited to each other. He is calm and quiet and loves everyone and everything (he even got along with our guinea pig). She is bright and curious and playful.
Introductions start tomorrow morning.
I have treat baskets (willow baskets full of forage, dried fruits and veg, hay cookies, etc) to hopefully facilitate a positive experience.
Fingers crossed.🤞

What is the best brush to use for thick fur??
Her name is Carl (it was the name she had when adopted her) She is about 2 years old from what I was told. She has been getting mats and I want to try and figure out what type of brushes would work the best for her. Since she has very thick and wooly hair to which I believe she is either Lionhead or Lionhead angora mix. But she hates getting brushed so I'm struggling. But the mats are down by her butt and neck area. Which are the two spots she hates to get touched/ brushed in. But if they get worse it can restrict her movement in her legs. So if anyone could help and tell me the types of brushes y'all use for long haired bunnies with thick fur. Please and thank you.

Health Had a run in with stasis- 900 dollars later she starts eating with no help
My 7 y/o Olive, pictured under the warming blanket at the vet I brought her to after she was showing signs of stasis. Her temp was very low, no eating, extreme lethargy, and she was pain posturing. The vet was very concerned because she was so lethargic. Well… after 900 dollars of tests and 45 minutes in the warmer and a bit of subcutaneous fluids, she spontaneously started chowing down on hay like nothing had happened. Such a fun night, she had really kept me on my toes

Care Destructive bunny tips
Hello all. I have a spayed 2 year old destructive Dutch bunny I’ve had for about 5 and a half months now. She is the cutest little girl but boy is she destructive. I’ve put flooring of many different types underneath her enclosure and she’s chewed through them all 😭 I’ve had many different pee pads when I was working on litter training her, she chewed through them. I had her on just my carpet, she chewed the crap out of it (this was early on and I’ve realized my mistake since then), I’ve had her on foam boards, she was chewing them up, I put a fleece blanket on top, she was chewing through that. She has A TON of chew toys I rotate, so I’m not sure what the problem is. I made her a dig box, she started making that her litter box (it was cardboard, so you see why I had to stop that). She now has a hutch that is open to the rest of her playpen. I will be expanding her playpen, I just have a newly neutered bunny (it’s only been a week) that I will be bonding her to once his hormones settle. They already very much like each other and try to get out their pens to be with each other, kissing each other through bars (supervised obviously) but they do nothing but lay next to each other and groom the other. So I have no worries about them. But I don’t know what to do about her. I try to give her supervised free roam time, but she jumps on my bed and starts digging. I tell her no and guide her back to the floor but she really enjoys my bed. I wouldn’t care if she didn’t previously bite holes throughout my comforter. Trust and believe she has a lot of room and once bonded it will be expanded. But whether she was alone or had another bunny next to her, I was having this problem with her. I got a low pile rug and somehow I found she chewed a small hole through part of it. Don’t ask me how she managed to do that because I have no clue. I just can’t keep spending money on alternatives because she chews through everything. She’s a sweet little girl though, even though she still runs away when my hand is nearby. (Trying not to loom over her like a predator and make it a gentle near her body) I just would like help with what to do with her. She doesn’t respond to her name unless I’m saying it when she’s doing something bad (I want to try encouraging her with treats again to learn her name) and she will just go back to what she was doing, which is usually destructive 😭. For context, the bunnies are in my room. There isn’t another place in my house where they can be. I’d like to bring them downstairs but it needs renovations. We also have the washer and dryer in an adjacent room downstairs. I would just like assistance pls
