wow! your pets are so spoilt!
lucky little fellas!

hehehe...your dogs are jealous that u are giving attention to the rabbits instead of them..hope i can cope with many pets next time also

well all i can say is you hve gud house keeping and you hve given me an idea tht pets poo can be given as fertiliser...hmmm lemme consider about this

Rabbits' poo is the best fertilizer. Very effective and harmless to the plants even put too much. Whereas chemical fertilizer can easily kill the flower plants if overdose. Guinea pig's poo is not that effective as compare to rabbit's poo though.

Outside my house corner I also planted some veg and fruit tree. I fenced it up, and initially thought of putting rabbit cage there, but I'm afraid people will steal my rabbits, I don't think is a good idea and not safe to put them outside, even lock up the cage.

why u feed jacob biscuits ar???jacob biscuits high in fat content and not suitable for rabbits to eat..

poo is small due to indigestion or hairball...

did u offer hay?..rabbits gets very choosy sometimes so make sure u give good quality hay thats green(dull green) and smells good like chubby pets hay..my rabbit dun like other brands leh..ended up wasted and thrown away

ya ya i tried al timothy, orchard and alfafa(while he's stil kid), he only takes alfafa even til now but I dun encourage alfafa too much since pellets dy contained alfafa, I often feed him on beh & yo hay mb i shud try chubby pets hay on him? u feed ur bunny with which chubby pets grass? timothy or bermuda?

I nv purposely feed him on jacob biscuits just tht he often walks around the tea table area and wait for the biscuit bits that fall on the floor, he even eaten the "huat kuih (pink colour)" and "nian gao (sweet brown harder kuih in leave cup)" than we put on the floor.

and, he doesnt like fresh leaves at all...

Yikes, be careful what your boy picks and eats from the floor. Their tummy is very very sensitive and reacts adversely to new food. I learned that the hard way when my friend fed my boy a little fresh banana that didn't agree with his tummy and caused me a panic attack and a rush trip to the vet. Silly little four legged fella!
My boy only eats chubby pets timothy hay. Strangely he'll eat oxbow pellet but don't like oxbow hay! Fussy pot.
To train a rabbit to eat hay and pellets, you can't be soft. I know it's hard when he looks at you with those cute bunny eyes as he begs for his fav food but you need to be strong. Stop feeding him human food and confine him to hay and pellets. After a day, he'll get hungry and eat them. He might merajuk with u for a few days but stay strong. It's better for him to eat healthy and live long!

My new and old bunnies get-to-know each other session.

it is good to see that your bunnies get along well with each other..but u are not separating the genders?u just let them mix around...amazing how ur rabbit willing to stay in that small square with low fences..my rabbit will just show off and jump over the fence..just telling me how the fence wont work...i have a 2 feet height barrier and she jumps over it with little problem...hahaha

Actually that low fence I set up is meant for my cavies roaming area. But since the young bunnies still young and small size, I put them there just for short intro to the senior there. The senior female never met them before.

wow..that is amazing, i wish i can pay a visit to yr animal garden, can I ?

@justiny
are your bunnies good with cavies as well..coz my friend's rabbit went and attck the guinea pig..

@lm_meileng
i think justiny is having a mini petting zoo in her home..hahaha

3 years ago I ran out of cage, and I always put the rabbits which were given by the petshop whom customer's doesn't want to rare in my cavies cage, they were getting along fine. No fight nor any injury. But I noticed the rabbit put on too much weight because it ate GP pellets more. The rabbits were kept in there for 4-6 months untill found adopters.

Now I don't put them together because I have sufficient cage and space for that. After all their pellet diet is totally different. Should not mix, not healthy for either party.

Today I bought another 2 rabbits, I was told is a Turkish Anggora (white) and a mixed English Anggora (Frosted Pearl Point). I just simply love long fluffy fur rabbits! They are 2 months plus.

Currently I am feeding them Oxbow brand of pellets. My Teddy Bear rabbits are really tiny, how do I pump them up? I noticed most of the rabbitry farm feed their rabbits those Bengy brand type of pellets. Would those pellets help to pump up the rabbit for meat?

more rabbits?? how do u bond with so many at 1 time?
your "teddy bear" is small coz they are underage..

those pet shops use bengy coz it's cheap..i dont think they bother to feed them the expensive ones since pet shops are more to earning money then caring for rabbit health ...tat's why i op for home breed rabbit..

just wanna clarify,justiny i dont think u buy rabbit because of the breed right?..if so better not simply post up the breeds and confuse people if u are not sure of it..coz i myself i'm learning about various breeds to see what i should work on next time..and so far your teddy bear/english anggora/turkish anggora kits just looks the same to me...they look like what claimed to be anggora rabbits that are sold in petshops..they might have the long coat gene of an anggora thats true but just dont brand them with a special breed..what i'm saying is...like dogs mongrels also have long fur but they dont have a special breed that are still called mongrels or at least a mix breed with a certain pedigree dog maybe...belive me i rather research on the overseas breeders then refering to petshops for breeds..i never heard of teddy bear and turkish anggora.maybe turkish anggora cat sound familiar but i'm not very knowlegable in cats..

it is very clear that u like long coat anggora mix rabbits...enjoy grooming them..u can collect the fur and make a pillow out of it..

Added on February 22, 2010, 7:28 pmi'm not against any breed...i myself have a mix breed lion head..i claimed it to be closer to a lion head coz she has a mane and long fur on the chest..rabbit makes great pets and i'm sure everyone here agrees with me.even local breeds turn out beautiful due to their unique colours and shades..i just dont like petshops branding their rabbits a particular breed that dont exist...it makes no sense why they are doing that
