According to the seller, she's around 4 or 5 months old.. so I should only start providing her hays when she's 6 months old right?

Will also try to get her a litter pan and Hay tunnel soon when I have the money smile.gif

Anyone here knows what is the maximum weight of OXBOW pallets in Malaysian market?

I think I need a sack like amount of OXBOW pallets (around 20kg). I just wanna see the difference between the local and imported pallets on my rabbits.

keiko very cute...where did u get her from...

u can feed her hay no problem...FYI there are many types of hay...timothy hay,alfafa,oat hay,bermuda grass..main one is timothy hay and others u can give as variety...alfafa can be fed in unlimited amounts to rabbits younger than 6 mths...after 6 months just give as treats coz it's high in protein...make sure u get the hay tat's green and smells good..it's just proof thats it's fresh


Added on December 25, 2009, 11:20 pmwhy all her pellets jatuh wan ar?

and u can put the bathroom plastic non slip mat or plastic wire mesh on the base of the cage so wont hurt it's little legs

I got her from a fellow seller in Lowyat smile.gif
Sometimes she eats the pellet "aggresively" which caused the pellets to fall.. or maybe she does that as a sign of not liking it? I'm not sure yet..

As for the bathroom floor mats, I'm trying to look for them as well! Anyone have any idea where to get em? Do hardware shops have them?
Thanks!

Dear all,

I realize how annoying it is to look for rabbit thread on the main forum board without the thumbnail. I can't upload thumbnails like how some of you may experience problem uploading photos together with your post as well. I will upload a thumbnail as soon as possible.

Hope all of you enjoy bunny discussion like the usual!

Hey guys! Today I've bought 6 pieces of playpen for Keiko and also a 1kg pack of Alfafa hay for her! smile.gif

I'm wondering for the hays, should I store them in a sealed container or just leaving them there with air flowing is fine? Thanks!

Do you have the complete guaranteed analysis? Anyway, anything with high fiber is always better. But I am only worried on the reliability of brands. Try to avoid anything with Corn in them.

hi guys, i saw the vet list thread here...but is there a recommended experienced vet for spaying rabbits?

i have a ~6 month old angora mix, and a 2-3 month old one, both females.

i think the older one is starting to become frisky, i caught her roughly handling the smaller one just now, not the normal grooming, but more rough, and pawing at her too =/

would appreciate it if someone could help, thanks!

Any change in the environment. Or is your toilet door reflective? He may have seen his reaction and thought was a rival bunny.

Well, still can't beat the this particular occurrence that I had with Baby Navi. After I've managed to corner him after chasing him around the apartment to put him back into his cage, what he did when I reached down to pick him up was to turn his butt at my hand and spray at my hand!

anyone here grows organic vegetables for rabbits in your own garden?

planted sweet potatoes for its leaves, rabbit loves them but it grows so slow even after i fertilize it with rabbit poo...(usually all other plants n flowers grow nicer n bloom more after i pour rabbit poo on them)

Yes, it is very organic if you use rabbit poo directly to grow your vege. Rabbit have very high nitrogen, so anything is lefty is good to use as fertiliser for it. Grow flower, a bit can la, if not u see lots of healthy leaf, very little flower. Use grow lettuce, chow sam, siao pack choy, you get fantastic result. Some more you can compost it with your bedding if you have lots of rabbits poo n bedding to clear everyday, compost is another super stuff for organic. blush.gif

it depend on what kind of lettuce.
do not feed them with iceburg lettuce.
first it has no nutritional value to the rabbit and second it is too watery.
it will cause digestional upset to your bunnies due to their sensitive digestive tracks.
other lettuce such as romaine lettuce are ok.
as for cabbage, some say ok and some say not because they are allergic to it.

as for me, i try to stay on the safe side which is not to feed them.
lettuce contain lactucarium which can give your bunny diarhea.
although some lettuce contain small amount of it, i still prefer not to take the risk.

their major diet rely on hay.
if you wan to give fresh vege and fruits for them, you need to be very careful with it.
you can refer to the first page for what are safe for them
monitor them carefully. any changes their poops or behaviour indicate that somethings is not right.

Lettuce is not recommended due to high content of water and less fiber. May cause diarrhea.

HAY of course!

i give my rabbit lots n lots of green n fresh hay supply - both Timothy n Alfafa but she love alfafa abit more

anyway she still like variety so everyday i watch her eat like a 5 course meal for princess

1. appetizer - fresh baby carrots
2. entree - timothy hay
3. main - alfafa hay
4. side - pellets
5. dessert - slice of apple (not always)

she likes her cage very much, nvr jumps out even if i open the cage door wide

unless i carry the cage to garden - there she will jump out n have some fresh grass but funny thing is, she will still go back to cage n use the litter tray

very clean! hahaha

being a human not good enough, wanna b rabbit? doh.gif

anyway i have only 1 rabbit now and don't plan to have anymore so can take really good care of her - give her undivided attention

i dunno if this is too much, but I even bought the rabbit a souvenir when i go for holiday....saw a nice hay box made of untreated pine....after dat, she loves pulling hay out of it more than from toilet rolls maybe because of the height - jz nice, then she started eating more hay n very little pellets

when got extras i give my rabbit some fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, black cherries - give a bit only but shes very happy to eat them n its good for her i think - natural vitamin C n antioxidant laugh.gif

My rabbits can get along with my cats. Here are some tips:-

- Make sure your rabbit is aggressive type of rabbit.
- Make sure your rabbit size is same or almost as same as your cat size.
- Don't forget or miss to feed your cat off and on.
- Make sure the rabbit has a place to hide or run. I breed my rabbits outdoor, outside of the cage even. So, there you go.

I just got pair of bunnies recently... when I got them, they are used to eat pallets as their daily meal and small amount of carrots... but then I was out of pellets, so I start to feed them with water spinach and they tend to like it so... I just fed them mostly with that plus some other vegetables including carrots... The problem is I just bought a new pack of pellets and they dont eat at all. I asked the keeper at the pet shop they say just let them be eventually they will eat it... but I leave them without any food besides the pellets for hours but still they havent eat. Then I resort back to feed them with raw vegetables. So how to make them to eat pellets... They can't just eat vegetables

Please refer to 1st page for general diet guidelines. Raw veges should be avoided for young rabbits. HAY is important. To a certain extend the shopkeeper is right, they will eat when they are hungry no matter.

Good luck!

You look for fresh green hay, they will love it, maybe you can try some alfalfa mix with some timothy for the start. Hay is indeed very good for your rabbit, if your rabbit NEVER eaten hay before from where he born, he may not know what is that sometime. shakehead.gif sweat.gif

hi guys, im back =)
like any other rabbit owners out there
im having a hard time getting oxbow bunny basics T pellets..
is there any other brand of pellets that is as good as oxbow out there?
why do stocks have to run out that fast..=(

just a few weeks back
i bought a bag of 4kg bunny basics T pellets for rm25 from a fellow lyn member, who was selling it off 'cause her rabbit doesnt fancy it.
i should have known better..
turns out
the pellets didnt smell rite
and the expiry date is ilegible..
@@
hunny refused to eat any of the pellets i bought
so i confronted the seller about the expiry date and weird smell
according to her,
"it says 27 JAN 2011 if you see carefully."
when the only letters and numbers i can see are 'AN 27 20'
"well, that is really weird, because i hardly used much of it. but some of it did got mixed with my old pellets because i transfered it to a smaller container. do try feeding it for a couple more days, if it isn't working then I'm really really sorry there's nothing i can do about it."
if she had told me the mixing part earlier, i wouldnt have bought that bag of pellets from her
who would have thought to ask this before purchasing a bag of pellets which was claimed to be oxbow bunny basics T...
never bother to continue asking her about the old pellets after that..
anyway..
the only thing i can say is that im totally disappointed *sigh*
what am i going to do with that bag of unidentified pellets...T^T

WOW, i didn't know people are counterfeiting rabbit pellets now. You can try out Pro Optimum pellets which are available on the shelves of PLC stores too. Be sure to gradually change from old pellets.

Anyway, try to encourage your rabbits to eat hay. They can survive just on hay when pellets goes bad. Pellets at the end of the day are just fillers to keep those stomachs filled. Yes, there should be of good quality but in such circumstances, you should rather go for better alternatives.

My suggestion would be, get reasonable and decent pellets if affordability is the issue, you can get stuff like Hagen which moves really fast and the stocks are really consistent. The more consistent the stocks rotate, the fresher it is. You can compensate what Hagen can't give i.e. Fiber through feeding fresh and green hay.

Also, take note that switching pellets too often may upset your rabbit's stomach. I am done switching and hate the intervals without the certain brand of pellets and therefore has moved on to other better alternatives that work for me....

I agree with what sangterap said...u can op for Pro optimum from chubbypets garden...there are bigger packaging available if u wanna safe cost but dun buy too much also ya coz of the shelf life..

yea i read about the guy from cyberjaya who's trying to exchange or sell the timothy pellets.heard many complains about timothy pellets hard to be found too..hmmm...

Quite agree on this, used to only give hay to my pet rabbits when my pellets smells funny and such..

the funny thing about only feeding hay is that.. they jus eat toooooo much hay..

imagine, my kits were only like 3 months old, both of em..

bought 1 kg of hay, and my kits finished all of em in 2 weeks

then my girlfriends ask me to buy more hay, at 1st she asked for 4kg, perhaps can last for 2 months rite? but instead, i realised buying 6kg is cheaper, hence i got 6kg of alfalfa hay!! for 2 small rabbits who are almost 4months old..

guess how long they took to finish 6 kg of alfalfa hay??

i got the hay on 7th Dec, they finished all 6kg on 28th Dec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are my rabbits overeating? but almost everyone told me to figuratively "bury my rabbits with lots and lots of hay", and i do just that lolz...

Give them as much as they want for hay, that is something you want to see your bunny doing, eating lots of hay (timothy + alfalfa). Is a sign of your bunny is growing and in healthy condition, cause they get hungry!

I visited a friend who own few bunny and few guinea pig, they feed lots of lots of hay, timothy hay, when i see it I said :"Great! Eat more! Good for you fellow!" Never see they rabbit have hair ball issue, never see they guinea pig got any teeth problem.

You will be surprised that rabbits can really survive on HAY alone. But to be on the save side, pellets are fed because they are suppose to be well balanced with all the nutrients they need. Over eating hay is a very good sign. It also tells you that the pellets SUCKS! LOL!

Hey all.
My rabbit's gettin really big. & it seems really uncomfortable in its cage.
A friend of mine (whose also a rabbit owner) suggests that I fence my gate & ditch the cage.
That's what she did for her rabbit. Let it out during the day & cage during the night.
She even reserve a hole for cats to enter her house to play with her rabbit.
Is it advisable?
My area has quite a number of cats. My neighbour has one actually.
& my rabbit gets really scared when cats r at a distance. She stomps her back feet when she sense 'danger'.

yup..the seller herself has rabbits of her own
tsk tsk
why do such things to fellow rabbit owners..

Pro optimum? this goes out of stock quite fast as well
doesnt used to be this hard to get pellets
i guess there are more people having rabbits as pets now ^^"
anyway..i think i'll get the pellets online and have them send over
save me the time and trips to go from petshops to petshops then ended up going home empty handed =(

Added on January 18, 2010, 12:00 ambasically in Holland lops, Blue = Grey and Grey = Blue. It is what we call a diluted black.

judging on the quality of photo, my guess is a blue otter.

I mean, an imported Holland Lop should come with a tattoo on its left ear together with a pedigree document showing 4 generations of parentage?

Do you have that?

I was asking what were the rabbitry names listed on the pedigree document. Just interested to know...

I just realized that indeed Lupe looks like Theodore. The differences between them is that Lupe's cheek are not made of fat, but just fluffs of fur. And she can't sing with a chipmunk voice. Even though I wish she could. wub.gif

A rabbit spayed under a good vet can recover in just 3 days. 8 to 9 months is a very good time for spaying. I am very comfortable sending rabbits for spay at:

Hi all. I'm thinking of spaying my rabbit. just wonder how much does it cost and how long is the recovery period of a 8-9months rabbit? By the way, i'm in puchong.

Any experience vet to intro?

Added on January 17, 2010, 11:54 pmEli, what sort of probiotics did the vet gave to Hector? If it is a paste, what i suggest u do is turn HEctor around ala Trance and swipe on his mouth OR you can put some on his paws for him to lick it up....

Added on January 18, 2010, 12:00 ambasically in Holland lops, Blue = Grey and Grey = Blue. It is what we call a diluted black.

judging on the quality of photo, my guess is a blue otter.

Hi guys! I'm going to get a hay tunnel for Keiko soon so I'd like to ask if anyone knows where can I purchase them (online or real life is fine). I'm based on Serdang, Cheras, generally the Selangor areas.

Thanks! rclxms.gif

Thanks for the info yueyi smile.gif, but I just happen to stumble upon Beh & Yo website earlier and notice they got hay tunnel for sale. Just hope that they still have stock for it now.
Also, Keiko doesn't really like the hay I bought from Pets Wonderland @ Mid Valley. Will definitely try buying the next batch from PLC tongue.gif

well not many barnds offer good quality hay..some smells not so nice..some colour brownish,and some even too green due to colouring...depends on what brand u bought..oxbow pretty pricy for me so i op for chubby pet garden's summo can deliver to my house if i not free to go buy..hehehe...most of all my rabbit loves it..

ermmm is it 1st time introducing hay to ur bunny..u can give bit alfafa to mix with timothy hay to encourage ur bunny to eat...then later can serve whole timothy and give alfafa as treats only

You can add move variety, like alfalfa cube, alfalfa treat tube and anything that is alfalfa that give your bunny more choises. Put in 10% of timothy in will be a great value. You can make tunnel you self too, how ever it wont last very long la, cause it is make from fresh hay, and they will eat it. biggrin.gif

PLC-pet lovers center...it's a petshop has many brances in KL


well i wouldn't say higher price...some pure breed rabbit will fetch high price too coz of the features of the rabbits like some show quality that may be potential winner in competitions..but they will be great home pets too..who wouldn't be proud to have a Handsome/pretty bunny at home..if your talking about local rabbits u can see this case in dogs also(mongrels and pure breed pedigree dogs)..see the price difference

chincilla is considered an exotic pet and is less common in malaysia so it's more expensive..chincilla in overseas is not sold so expensive like here in m'sia.but to import one is pricey..same goes to imported bunnies...imported parents is different case ya not considered as imported rabbit is it's born here

I must also add that Chinchilla is a totally different species from Rabbit although they share certain characteristics. The keyword here is RODENT (guinea pig/chinchilla) vs LAGOMORPHA (rabbit). They are from 2 different classes of animals.

Go through wikipedia.org to know their classing in the animal kingdom and you will understand more.

To add on, chinchilla only give birth to 1-2 babies 1 time, and take about 4 months for the pregnancy, usually 1 baby. Chinchilla can only produce 1 time per year or 2 max, but rabbit produce faster in shorter time and have more babies.

Any rabbit did like that to her owner?? She like to sniff my feet and bit me...but not a strong bite....Is it she is hyperactive??? She like to chase to me when i'm walking around.....

Hi Tarepanda,

I don't know if that's normal or not but my rabbit also like that. I think that's the way he want to manja-manja (in a rough way) and seek attention. Usually he did that when I was busy in front the computer and ignoring him. Or he's hungry and want more pallets and dont want to finish his hay...

Having a rabbit is like taking care of a manja small kid.. only they dont draw on your wall. hehehe tongue.gif

Your rabbit sounds pretty normal to me. The more active ones tends to be rather curious, and having your rabbit being able to sniff you or try to climb onto you can be taken as a good sign as it shows that he or she has gotten used to you and is not afraid of you anymore.

As for the biting of your toe, well, let's just say that the sniff and bite is their way of testing if something can be eaten or not. In fact, rabbits like to chew on a lot of things, especially cables. Thank God I've not lost anything expensive like a HDMI or a Fiber Channel cable to my rabbits yet.

Hey guys! Wondering whether anyone could help me. Currently i have 5 bunnies, 3 females and 2 males. I separately keep my bunnies. (females aside and males the other side). But the problem is, i have this one female bunny that attacks the other 2 females and only can get along with the males. Hence i thought of having her neutered and putting her with males. She also does not know how to take care of her baby bunnies when she had them awhile ago. Can some one please help tell me where can i get my female bunny neutered?

Thanks!

Give them as much as they want for hay, that is something you want to see your bunny doing, eating lots of hay (timothy + alfalfa). Is a sign of your bunny is growing and in healthy condition, cause they get hungry!

I visited a friend who own few bunny and few guinea pig, they feed lots of lots of hay, timothy hay, when i see it I said :"Great! Eat more! Good for you fellow!" Never see they rabbit have hair ball issue, never see they guinea pig got any teeth problem.

I totally do not agree with you on limited feeding information. Rabbit diet information regardless of breeds (they are all rabbits), is all over the internet. you are not searching hard enough.

pellets do act as an agent to strike a balance in a rabbit's diet. Hay alone is not enough to sustain a rabbit nutritionally. You will still need to feed pellet because it is a guaranteed balance. In the wild, rabbits have much more to eat besides grasses (hay).

Please don't mislead yourself regarding diet. there is so much written on the 1st page of this forum and many more websites especially the House Rabbit Society website.

Holland Lop is a rabbit after all and they are not super rabbits that do not eat pellets.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your statement but you really need to read up on the basics.

Unlimited hay = present at all time. It does not mean you don't need pellets. How I wish they just eat grass and thrive, then I don't need to spend so much money on pellets. LOL!

So far there isn't any purebred Jersey Woolly or Lionheads in Msia. Those mixes should be below RM 80 so that you know and not get conned.

i understand some ppl are only interested in some special breed.. wonder why.. all are lovely. in my opinion, any rabbit, any breed will do.. as long as you like them, whatever breed doesn't matter..

i dun even know what breed is our Bit Bit, my brother rescued him from a rabbit meat farm 8yrs ago when my bro went to the farm to do some m&e works ... but we all love him nevertheless..

Eli and me surely agree with u..


Added on January 26, 2010, 8:14 amhow ever i'm just not satisfied that some people tend to get their rabbits from seller who claim to be pure breeds and pay a high price for the bunny.what i'm saying is don't get con by these seller or else your just encouraging them more..do your own research and make right choices if u are opting for pure breeds.however if one really like the bunny and got his/her love at first sight i don't think anyone has the right to stop him/her from buying the bunny..


Added on January 26, 2010, 8:15 amchrysseng i like your profile picture..is that bitbit?she has a nice chincilla colour

I've got 3 rabbits, 2 of them at 3.5 years old, and the 3rd one coming to 2 years old soon. All 3 are still on the Show Rabbit Feed till now. Only thing that I changed in their diet is the timothy hay.

No offense to the mixed bred but if you are looking for a pure bred rabbits, anything out of those on these 2 websites, most probably new hybrid or mixes:

1) http://www.thebrc.org/stds.htm (British Standard)
2) http://www.arba.net/Breeds.htm (American Standard)

Not to mention there are many Malaysian standards too, whatever specification they follow, I don't know....

Maybe just based on the CUTE factor....

First of all, there is no MINI HOLLAND LOP. that shows how much the seller know about rabbits. I'll only pay RM 50 for those rabbits listed there. MAX.

If it is a pure bred, ask for 4 generations PEDIGREE that shows you the lineage. The Holland Lop world is very small, once you recognize the lines with RABBITRY names listed, you can double check with the breeders whether local or overseas to know if they have send their rabbits into Malaysia and this offspring is indeed from their lines.

That's the best you can do right now. If they can't prove their rabbits' lineage, that is definitely a non pedigree. here's the check list:

1) Ask for pedigree
Sample:

2) Ask for parents (they may have Tattoo on their left ear)

With the babies or the juniors, it'll be really difficult to tell. Will be sort of easier if the seller can show you the parents of the rabbit though, as its easier to determine from a full grown.

Well, being an ARBA member, I am only interested in breeds recognized by them if we are talking about purebreds. Other than that, I am not bothered with their origins because there is no way we can track/trace and no standards to refer. In short, anyone can produce anything and give them whatever names, if it is not listed on ARBA or BRC, I am not interested at all.

I just take the rabbits like any ordinary rabbit but I foresee a great implication in producing mixed bred and people patronizing these mixes because the welfare of the rabbits will always be in jeopardy. It is not all about the pricing of the rabbits. If people demand for sub standard rabbits, they will always be neglected. They are replaceable because they are dirt cheap as you can breed them by the dozens. And the best part is, people are paying way too high just because what they have in front of them is:

1) CUTE
2) There is a "Branding" i.e. all lop ear rabbits = holland lops (ridiculous!). I find this very disturbing because it is a form of deception....

But of course, in a business point of view that is definitely good but I don't see that in perpetuating and exploiting them.

Welcome to the thread. You are doing very well. It is perfectly fine to separate intact rabbits to avoid unwanted pregnancies and fights.

I suggest you don't use that brand of feed. It is cheap for a reason. If you don't believe me, I suggest you try tasting them. I have once bitten sand in those cheap feeds.

I suggest if you really cannot afford it, go for Hagen. That's the best you can give to your rabbits on a tight budget.

guys..
i was thinking,


do rabbit behave well when they kept in cage most of the time compare to those rabbit that roam freely in the house?


i let my rabbit roam freely in their places thought that they might get bored stuck in a cage for a long time.. so i just let them free..(they have my whole kitchen as their playpen).. note that the kitchen is empty and not in use for masak2 or whatsoever..

so i was thinking if i put them in a cage..most all the time..do they behave well?


i wrote this not because my bunny not well behave..it just came to my thought..thats all..

any opinion? suggestion? advise? hmm.gif

@xhuggybearx
not behaving well means???different ppl have different opinion on "not behaving"

@junid
all your bunnies like that?


Well in general,
different bunnies have different characteristics..just like us humans...some don't like to be picked up..or maybe they don't like the way u carry or hold her...
or either they are not used to human touch...maybe not used to the person...can be u did something that made it afraid so it relates to being touched/carried...

well just like any animals,rabbits need to bond with their owners too..if your rabbits is kicking..u can try putting her on your chest while u are sitting down..the legs are against your tummy or chest while u support her bottom with one hand..with the other hand u stroke her head and scratch behind the ears..hope this technique helps

Yup, I noticed the difference too. There was once I was away for holiday. I gave my friend 50bucks just incase my pets out of food she can purchase. Manatau she want to pocket as much money as possible, she bought the cheapest rabbit pellets. Not even with brands, those per kg fre bucks ones. From a furry bunny, when i'm back, it turns up all hair drop off, really! rclxub.gif

In my opnion, all animals should be provided freedom as much as possible, but not forgetting a shelter for them so they feel secured.

I tried both caging and allowing the rabbit large space to roam. Caging the rabbit, well we dont see much emotions since they cant really express themselves but just imagine you are being caged most of the time in a limited space. But when I allow the rabbit to roam at a large space, I can see him jumping, playing with toys, even tried to walk on a toy ball! The rabbit is happy, I'm happy.

wahh..so teruk meh the result..all the hair drop off...dunno what chemicals they use for the cheap ones..so scary..

yup if u let the rabbit roam free they will know which favourite spot to take naps and u can see them binky here and there for no reason..just showing that they are happy..my rabbit is roaming about my apartment..she will go back to her cage herself sometimes for food..but at night i keep her in the cage when i sleep

as for the toilet..u just pick the corner where they normally pee and poo and put a litter box there with a few poo to show what is the use of the litter pan...they will eventually know how to use it

oh i wrote not because my bunny is not well behave or something..
infact i let them roam freely..

its just that i thought what if u put my bunny in a cage at most of the time..
do they well behave/in a gud manner or will they be more 'fierce'..yala because of i locked them in cage all the time..
i thought of maybe they will be more tension..cannot go around and so on..


well my bunny is okay..i dunt have a problem with them and they also dunt give any problem to me..

its just that one of my thought..thats all..



im tryin to see in a different perspective.. smile.gif

blink.gif oh ok..don't really get your point but never mind

My rabbit roam freely most of the time and she is also very fierce and show temper stump on the ground when i scold her...but when she want ppl to sayang she will come manja manja jump on my lap for me to pet and will come to me for treats..so basically it's their own behavior that determine their characters.

bunnies need exercise and u can't put a hamster wheel for a rabbit..i don't think such thing exist also..so best if got a wide space for them to run about..

To the question on whether to let them mate or not, you'll need to ask yourself, how well are you handling your 3 rabbits right now, and if you're ready to handle more than 3 rabbits or not. Furthermore, how much space have you got when it comes to taking care of more than 3 rabbits and feeding them?

malaysiangroup, are you using Rabbit Thread as your blog? LOL!

On a very serious note, please switch feed gradually. I can see you are feeding Pro Opt 100% for ur rabbit without mixing with your old feed. Correct me if I am wrong.

If you carefully look on the below picture illustrations , you could see the remainings of Kaytee Timothy Hay's bottoms(hardened and dried) are carefully avoided by my Holland Lop,this reminds me of sangterap's comments on "Hay--chopped one which has fine powder leftover.,when i was trying oxbow chopped one my bunny finished all,but this time im monitoring and threw the bottom one's three times already.

The safest is to get some ChubbyPetsGarden Timothy Hay. They are usually very fresh and in long strands. But it is very likely you'll see these "chopped" ones most of the time. Can't run away from that fact. Some may like them but none of my rabbits like them.

Good luck...

Welcome to rabbit thread Eddie79. Please go through the basic care on Page 1 (first post). Most of the links are very useful for you to learn.

I just want to stress that wool or long coated rabbits must be groomed on regular basis.

All the best!

your rabbit will low sai if u feed too much carbohydrates and little fiber..so feed lot and lots of hay ya...long fur rabbits u have to help them groom a little ...u can try researching on "plucking" it takes away the fur that is shed and stuck between other fur..get a decent comb for your bunny as well

I started with those cages before, and what I can say is that it only lasts around 2.5 years++. While they won't be able to chew through metal, they can chew through the coating of the metal, and it'll start rusting within a few months. Fast forward 2 years later, and the exposed metal will start rusting through (especially the bottom bars)

the brand is King Fischer. These are more of dog cages actually, where the gaps between the bars are 1.5 inch. So be careful with baby bunnies, they can squeeze through the bars. In fact, my dwarf hotot was going in and out of the cage as he likes up till 4 months of age; that's when he got too big to squeeze through. Furthermore, the bars are around 4mm thick, twice the 2mm of the normal cages. I don't know how to describe what the metal is like, not stainless steel, but it doesn't rust though.

I can't exactly say how much these sell for, as I seldom see them around, but they're definitely cheaper than Ace's hardware's stuff (although more expensive than the normal cages). I got my 3 cages off Beh & Yo.

New rabbit owner rclxms.gif had them for 4 days now.They're supposed to be 2months old and are weaned already. What do you guys think?Do they look 2 months?
user posted image user posted image user posted image user posted image user posted image user posted image
I'm worried since I read somewhere in the rabbit corner that one guy lost his rabbit after getting it for only 10 days possibly due to giving them fresh vegetables. I've been feeding them fresh greens since I got them and they seem fine. List of things I gave them are carrots, cucumber, pucuk ubi(dunno what's this called in english), some picked grass, dandelions, leafy soft leaves(does that make sense?) and my mother's flowers( a favorite for them) and just bought their pellets and some alfalfa hay. I know we're supposed to give 2month old rabbits a diet of alfalfa hay and pellets but the rabbits don't seem to take on hay.And I read that pellets shouldnt be their main diet anyways. They seem to love the leaves I picked. so I let them eat it as snacks along with the carrots.Worried about whether I'd see them dead in 10 days too. But there doesn't seem to be a symptom of diarrhea from what we've been feeding them. And they only nibble on the hay. It usually lay forgotten. Another problem I have is that they dont seem to use the water bottle. I tried showing them how it works. coercing them to come near it with food and all but they dont seem interested in it.Really worried they'd get dehydration but if I put a bowl of water it wont be hygienic for them. rclxub.gif O ya, how much is rabbit harness?

You don't shower them rabbits. Besides, such are likely to be pee stains, and are extremely difficult to remove. So instead, you'll need to wait for them to molt, then just pluck off the yellowish fur.

They so look kinda too small to be 2 months old to me. Things to take note of:
- cut down on the fresh and green stuff. except for a tiny bit now and then as treats. you're not supposed to feed fresh food to them at that age
- pellets as their main diet should be fine, as long as they're given unlimited hay to bite on as well.

If you're worried about the water, then just go ahead and use a water bowl. Just need to check on the water and change it regularly.

Don't think there's any such thing as a rabbit harness. try looking for the smallest dog harness that you can find. But its gonna be a few more months before your rabbits grow enough for you to put a harness on them though.

Any GRASS hay is alright i.e. Orchard/Timothy as they are high in fiber. The reason for different types of grass hay is because of the differences in texture. So when your rabbit "grind" them, they will make sure of all their teeth are used to chew and thus keeping their teeth well maintained.

I'm not much an expert, but i will try to answer your question:
1) while i cannot judge your rabbit's age just by looking at their photo, i strongly suggest you should go back to the pet shop or their previous owner to enquire, as this is a very important aspect for their diet regime, health issues and training;
2) diet: young rabbit until the age of 3 mths should be only be fed with with alfafa hay and a handful of pellets; why alfafa hay? bcos young rabbit need those extra protein, vitamin and calorie to grow; after abt 3mths, you can give some vege. generally dark leaf vege is ok; as it is lower in moisture content and more vitamins. avoid vege with is high in moisture (celery, lettuce, etc..) and 'gassy' vege (cabbage, brocolli, cauliflower, asparagus, etc); and yes, you can feed them flowers too, but be careful of the pesticide most flower does. then, at the age of 7 mths only you can introduce fruit (any non watery fruits like apple, guava, etc.. if feeding cucumber, pls ensure the seed part which is watery be removed) and root (must be careful to avoid 'starchy' and fatty food like all type of potatoes, peanuts, corn, etc) to them. but they do love carrot and red radishes. avoid 'white' radish as the taste is stinging them.
3) diet is one of the 2 important aspect of raising a rabbit as they are known to have delicate digestive system and this is one of the common reason why they died. remember they cant bark or whine, so it's not easy for you to see whether they got problem or not.
4) to answer some of your question:
a) the reason your rabbit dun take much alfafa hay or any hay at this moment is bcos they have ample of 'fresh' food, which is tastier; imagine you are your rabbit, you want to eat toasted bread or char kuey teow for breakfast? haha.. and one thing most ppl doesn't know, rabbit just like gold fish, they are not as intelligent as cats and dogs (so to speak) to know when they are full or have an instinct to avoid those food which is harmful to them. if you are continuing feeding him/her like what you are doing, there are only 2 consequences; either they will die or they will survive, but chance for the latter are very slim.
b) you are right (partial)! pellet shall be their main staple with with vege, fruits, carrot, etc ('fresh food') shall be the 'treats'. generally their diet should consist of 80% hay, 15% pellets and 5% treats. they need to chew on the hay to to wear off their teeth and if you give them too much 'treats'; training them will be harder than ever (remember you need this to potty training, hurdles traning and if you are patiently enough to train, they can come when called their name! just like a dog!).
c) it's not like they do not know how to use the bottle, but they don't need it, cos they are getting most of the water from the arrays of 'fresh food' you fed them; while i know some owner did give their rabbit water bowl, but it's not highly reccommended as the water will make their fur entangle accidently.. so once you switch their diet, they will drink like a camel..
d) rabbit harness are plenty available at pet shop safari (if not mistaken) in sunway and the curve (try google them around) at rm35 each.

Sorry, i did not intent to write this long originally; i could have bla bla bla more on their health issue and training, but i bet you are sleepy already.. haha.. i hope you have a healthy and bubbly rabbit like my 'bit bit' (he is about 8yo now and still healty as ever!)

Wayooo... Cannot ler. its in banting inside ladang kelapa sawit. really hard to reach. But uhm... I suppose if its not 2 months old then it should be 1month plus since its a rabbit farm and they've separated the weaned ones with those who haven't ( I wanted one who was still feeding but they said cannot, afraid it'll die)

Hurdle training? Wass that?We're trying to potty train them. but since theres 3 of em its moving kinda slow shakehead.gif how do you train them to come when you call their name? shocking.gif

Okay, switching their diets to pellets and alfalfa with leaf treats everytime one of them use the potty. Dried lawn grass for their main diet oso can?

Very good one chrysseng, but I have to highlight something different on Item 2. Rabbits below 6 months should be FREE FED. This means they must have pellets throughout the day and not just a handful. I personally do not like to free feed Alfalfa because too much of it may also cause diarrhea because it is too rich in protein. I would prefer to start them off with grass hay with a little mixture of Alfalfa throughout the day as most pellets are already made of Alfalfa.

Hi i would like to ask. I cannot seem to find any reviews on Britter Bunny Pellets and Hagen Pellets. How are these 2 pellets? Or any recommendations? Can we mix 2 kinds of pellets for them to eat?

1) Raising a rabbit is not known for easy maintain or cheap in any sense (they could be more expensive than raising a dog, as the medical bills could be very high, depends your luck) so make some efforts. haha..

2) Potty training is not very hard, wonder if you are using correct method. try google around, there are plenty information available in internet. we raised our 'bit bit' without anybody teaching, but we made the effort and read a lot; but then again, your rabbits are 2 mth old, they are still very young to be trained. you can start them young, but result maybe frustrating;

3) Hurdle training is very simple, as the name of the sport suggest, first you must prepare some lower barrier and put treats at the end of each barrier, they will jump at the treats! after a while of training, you may increase the height of the barrier.. make sure the treats are not too big, just a bite! to keep them wanting for more! jumping is rabbit natural way to 'play'; with enough training, they can even jump over a table! Oh, it won't works now as they are already used to gourmet food, they won't respond to you now, beside they are too young to even start being fed on treats!

4) my rabbit will come when we calls him; heck, now he even 'greets' us when we come back, just like a dog! it's not very hard to train thou.. again, if you reads enough, you will know rabbits are very sensitive to sound in nature (therefore the long ears!) and they usually do not live well in noisy place (but you can 'train' them to adapt the noise later in their adulthood), especially when they are as young as yours; you must try to control the 'noisy' at your home, like moving chairs, ppl talking out loud (like my hakka mother!) and loud music, there are not a fan of linkin park or blackeyepeas.. haha.. knowing this info would help you in 'designing' a set of training for them. what we did is: we tried hard to control the level of noise at the beginning, thus as a young rabbit, bit bit is adapted to quiet surrounding and bcos he lives in mostly quiet environment, he will be more sensitive when called or gently clapping your hands, when feeding/poo poo, play time and 'treats' time. the process is painstakingly long, but it will works if you really can 'tahan' not to give treats when they did not give efforts. oh ya, give diff treats for diff task they perform will also helps.. contrary to believe that rabbits like carrot the most, their foremost likes are herbs! our bit bit crazy about 'flat leaves cilantro'. other herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary, chives, basil, dill and so on.. we hardly feed him with flowers, so can't say what's the respond. another thing he does: he will 'greets' us when the 'first' person go out to work and come back, we didn't train him, but he managed somehow that the 'first' person will always give him some treats. that's why he learned to 'beg' (he will scratch at his cage door and run in cirles to attracts you) for it.. haha..

5) But at this moment, your main concern is not the training. Read more about their health issues, especially caring for bucks and holes are diff in nature.. this will avoid medical bills later. oh ya, you must now look for a doctor whom is experience in treating rabbit (info somewhere in forum), go bring your rabbit for check up and see what the doctor recommends in term of vaccination. keep the doctor's contact, preferably nearest to your place, as when rabbit is sick, they come hard and fast and most of the case are fatal.

Again, long post.. haiz.. too lengthy i supposed. haha.. cheerz..

Always look at the guaranteed analysis to gauge whether the pellet fulfills the basic needs of your bunnies. I will avoid fancy colors at all cost.

I personally believe that Hagen is quite a good brand because I was using it when I wasn't able to obtain good feed like Pro Optimum & etc. If you need the basics, I believe Hagen can provide. And I love the fact that it is one of the most common brand available in market and the supply is constant. Most important is to get FRESH feed and FRESH hay.

well...pellet is not the staple food. i oni feed about 1/4 to 1/3 cup a day..pellet is just to fill it's stomach...consider getting plenty of hay...if your bunny is a hay lover u can buy in bigger packaging...timithy hay is highly reccomende...i buy from chubby pets garden..ask my rabbit everytime i refill her hay container she will curi some from the large packaging while i'm refilling it..hahaha...

Hagen is about half price of the pro optimum..but my bunny take pro optimum coz the ingredient inside is very good for the bunny..like for mine is long coat so it prevents hair ball indigestion..after starting pro optimum and the hay she is got no such problem already


Added on February 3, 2010, 6:06 pmToday my Hyorin gave me heart attack...i can't find her in her usual resting spots..i look for her every where can't find...call out for her also don't care...finnaly i saw my furry white rabbit beside the white styrofoam box behind a pail looking at me running up and down the house...camouflage with the box wall and floor...-.-"
getting old my eyesight getting bad..she's probably laughing at me

Sometime you can also offer TIMOTHY CUBE. Good for teeth, good for digestive system, case away boredom, not to worry your rabbit over loading with protein. smile.gif

i think tat's the brand my bunny ate before i change to pro optimum... bought from local petshop they repackage it to small packaging and looks real cheap to me so i just grab...then nightmare happened...dunno izit coz i nv groom often or the food quality...but she got indigestion and stomach stop functioning..didn't poo didn't eat for 4 days..then i ask sangterap for help and he guide me through those though times...he online evryday and thought me what to do..thanks so much bro!..

so to be safe than sorry..stressed out many times already...the recommended cheaper option is Hagen pellets..don't do the same mistake i do...not everyone is as lucky as me as i was able to safe my bunny

The rule of thumb that I follow is for bunnies, let them have as much as they want to eat. then for adults, limit it to 3/4 cup per day. hay is also unlimited for bunnies and adults.

what i mean is there is no right or wrong..it's just recommendation ...yes like fyire said..baby rabbits can feed unlimited..adult rabbits i give 1/3 cups...coz the main food is hay..hay should be fed unlimited amount...pellets just to fill up if they are still hungry

No offense but I am just curious. I understand that you have bought a few bunnies from various breeders. Did they not advice you about the basic diet needs or rabbit? It is amazing how they just sell without teaching and now you have to come here to ask these questions. Again, please refer to 1st posting for all the information.

No offense but I am just curious. I understand that you have bought a few bunnies from various breeders. Did they not advice you about the basic diet needs or rabbit? It is amazing how they just sell without teaching and now you have to come here to ask these questions. Again, please refer to 1st posting for all the information.

yes i agree with you,basically the breeders didnt advice me on diet,i learnt many things from here.,earlier i fed one cup of hay and a cup of pellets(oxbow) ,whn i ranout of pellets i jus sticked to the hay alone by giving only a cup a day,all of a sudden i noticed it had become skinny,i thought something wrong and i took it to vet clinic,UPM,serdang,it seems thy had never came acrossed a sick rabbit,and they blinked like an idiot !!!.thy jus took a blood sample to determine the sickness,later whn i actively took part in this thread,i got an idea tht unlimited hay will do !!!,thn once again i changed to pellets + hay after clearing the doubt,but this time i noticed my bunny stuffed only pellets and didnt cared for hay ???? once again im to square one,thts why i asked for measurement. doh.gif

be careful not to have choosen guinea pig's pellet for rabbit, they are not the same. the former contains nut, and it's high in protein and carb, rabbit can't take these..

For me in this hobby it is all about enjoying the companionship of your pets and to learn how to take care of another living being. Also, in this hobby for me is to share and come to know people of the same interest.

when it comes to show, I believe there must be a balance. The sole reason for shows/competitions is to have an appreciation for these pets. The balance gets tip over when breeders start to show for the wrong reasons. One of the major wrong reasons in my opinion is that having the thinking of getting A NAME by winning so that they can sell their stock at high prices. We have to constantly remind ourselves that it is appreciation of the beauty of the rabbits not in the money that they can rake in.

Promoting ones rabbits with trophies is outright exploiting. Trophies does not mean anything if there is no appreciation. Anyone for the matter can make a 5 feet tall trophy, pose his/her rabbit next to it and sell the babies at high prices.

In short, don't look at the trophies but the rabbit itself. Rabbit that wins a lot of trophies not necessarily produces trophy winners.

For me, pets come first, show second. Also, shows are another venue for me to catch up and meet up with friends of the same interest.

I personally think it is good to let them get used to the noises because if it is too quite, the slightest noise will cause them to freak out. sometimes when they freak out, they will bang themselves to the cage wall and drop dead.

I hope no bunnies die from this during CNY when there is a lot of fire crackers going on.

so to be safe than sorry..stressed out many times already...the recommended cheaper option is Hagen pellets..don't do the same mistake i do...not everyone is as lucky as me as i was able to safe my bunny

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Teddy Bear Rabbit and Jessey Woolly? I saw people selling this Teddy Bear breed so expensive and claimed it is new and hot breed.

Btw, I have one bunny adopted from a petshop (petshop's customer give up his/her bunny). Not sure what breed, but quite nice and tame rabbit. Now looking for a soulmate for her. If I put 2 female together, do you think they will fight? If I put a junior female in, the chances of fight is less, right?

I have another question (sorry that I am quite clueless about rabbit), what do you call the color like those Himalayan cat type of color marking rabbit? I wish to have one like this but must be fluffy long fur.

since it's a hot new breed i think u can try google and see the breed and the characteristic..i visit petshops around when i'm free or if i pass by any..so far i didn't see any teddy bear breed yet..if u want to claim a new breed there are many steps to follow..we chat about this in the old posts maybe u can check..so happen is also about the teddy bear rabbit..Jersey woolly definately can find..u can search on the net and see what are the characteristics then u know the rabbit's quality and if it's worth paying for..

my female rabbit doesn't like other rabbit even if they are male or female..last time when i had 3 rabbits..i have to let them out 1 by 1..if not they will fight...many incident that rabbits that are brought up together fight also..but this is less common then newly introduced ones...to me it depends on your rabbit itself...if u have a female..i suggest u get a neutered male to accompany it...but rabbits are ok alone too as long as u give them proper attention and care.

I'm clueless about cats so i dunno whats a himalayan cat..

Hahaha... that's a good suggestion! rclxms.gif

My current bunny is a bit small size, as compared to the Anggora mix Hotot breed I had last time. But I like it that way. Is Lop ear bunny very big size? Is it as big size as Rex?

Sigh...cannot upload photo, even imageshack also take ages to upload. I saw on Mudah.com, one Holland Lop very cute, it has the color I like most (the one look like Baa Baa Black sheep/Little Lamb), but the price...currently cannot afford. One day, when I saved enough $ then may be I will buy that type.

I'm not sure the exact way..but from experience is.. DO NOTHING!

If you interrupt the babies and the mommy..sometimes it will end up the mommy will get violent and accidentally kill the baby. One thing you can do is separate the daddy...and leave the mommy and babies alone as much as you can. Just refill food and water when necessary.

Usually if 1st time give birth..it is most likely the baby will not survive. From my previous experience when my 1st bunny gave birth to 4 but only 2 survive. cry.gif Maybe the mommy no experience so a bit careless.

Owh ya..1 more thing..throw in some soft old cloth is the cage for the mommy to put the baby. She will carry them with her mouth.

I don't agree with you at all. None of the pet shops in Malaysia right now can identify the rabbits that they sell. All in my opinions are local mixes but they tagged them with names just to sell. Some petshops are aware of the breed because their managers/owners have the right attitude to learn and accepting pointers.

Once and for all, to clear the air, this is a REAL Jersey Woolly, anything that looks different is local mixed breed. There is no pure Jersey Woolly in Malaysia as of now

user posted image

To put it in simple terms. A Jersey Woolly is almost like a Netherland Dwarf maybe with longer ears. The wool or long coat does not cover the HEAD area but only the body.

I am sure all the local Jersey Woollies have long coat all over. That is a variant of the Angora rabbit.

Everyone needs to start doing their research so that they don't get hoodwinked into believing every single thing others say. The more you are equipped with knowledge, the less you get cheated.

Added on February 12, 2010, 8:55 amYou are right about the bothering part. But I do not agree that the mother will CARRY THEM WITH HER MOUTH. For so many years I have been raising rabbits, I have never seen this happening and I don't think it will happen unless the rabbits is a hybrid with a cat.

xhuggybearx,

I am sorry to say that I am totally against accidental litters. I am not sure what is happening but unplanned litters are totally signs of irresponsible pet ownership. It is very plain and simple, when you put 2 animal of different gender together, they are bound to breed. With that in mind, you should have been prepared. Deaths in litters like this is normally not the problem with the rabbit being a first time mother. The problem lies in the owners being unequipped and unprepared. Please know that these are domesticated animals that we humans have raised and they are fully dependent on us. How do you expect rabbits to continue having their natural instinct in a unnatural environment that we humans provide? What shall we do? We need to mimic the natural environment for them so that it will complement their natural instincts.

Are you aware of the behavior of prey animals? If you are, then you will know why the mother rabbit ignored her babies.

Just my 2 cents and sorry if I sounded too harsh. I hope the babies survive.

Yup..that Gombak petshop importer told me the price is RM350 for a Teddy Bear. Which I think it is way too overpriced for a non-pedigree. May be it is still quite rare, that's why the pricing is high.

Actually I don't care its pedigree or mixed, as long as it appeals to me, and the pricing which I think is reasonable then I will buy. But still my budget is RM150 max. whistling.gif

Fully agreed with you on responsible pet-ownership attitude. At lot of people always like a pair of male and female, and they think is nice to have babies, but then they never think ahead of "what if..." after that. doh.gif

Oh..Thanks Yueyi for the spotlight!

I suspect so, usually this type of rare color marking is really hard to find in Malaysia. A lot of the pictures that potrait on nice background are usually not real.

Here are my bunny's picture.

It's digging a hole!

In nature, God will know when the rabbit will give birth.

When in captivity, a breeder (the one playing God) will put the female into the male's cage and witness the mating, remove the male, jot down the date, count 31 days and prepare nest at day 28.

That is what you have not done. You do not need to be expert but a little research goes a long way. That is what we call planned breeding.

Instead of allowing the male and female be together till the babies come. And take note, a female rabbit will mate with the male rabbit right after giving birth. So if you did not separate the male from the female, she might be pregnant again. I guess that is what you intended and wanted so good luck and all the best!

You are right about the bothering part. But I do not agree that the mother will CARRY THEM WITH HER MOUTH. For so many years I have been raising rabbits, I have never seen this happening and I don't think it will happen unless the rabbits is a hybrid with a cat.

haha..I saw it once. But it didn't actually bite the baby like cats. It is more like hamster's way...as if it put the baby in the mouth then put them back out.. Really.. I was shock the 1st time i saw it..I thought the mummy wanna eat the baby.

it depends where you bought the rabbit,if the bunny was kept in tight sound proof cages,the moment you change the whole environment and if there are noises,it may give stress to rabbits,which will lead to death...this is wot i read from an article too.when i bought a rabbit from pets wonderland(midvalley) , i get advices frm the sellers to cover the whole cage for a week,keep them outta noisy area and not to disturb until it get usual to the new environment,but wots the use,it had diarrhea and died exactly after seven days,those days i was new to rabbit,i didnt get the seriousness of diarrhea.


so be careful in choosing your bunny.

Most times when such happens, its due to the rabbit being too young to be sold off still. The rabbit needs to be at last 8 weeks old, but there's a lot of places that sells them when as young as just 4 weeks.

no the issue here is, he sought help frm this thread how to take care of baby bunnies or wot ought to be done for the safety of litters,pity but true he was criticised for having accidental birth....i think it was members duty to highlight him instead of blaming .

First of all, this is a free open forum for discussion.

Secondly, no one is blaming. When someone is lost, we always try to wake them up and what I see here is a common issue we face in this thread. Once in a while someone will come in distress and seek help for accidental litters. In my opinion and I believe everyone agree with me that before we embark into any hobby there should be at least be some research done.

I don't consider myself a pro but I feel sad to hear about accidental litters because at the end of the day, the babies do not make it. Everyone start from 0 but the right way to go is read up the basics first before attempting so that rabbits do not die in vain.

hey, i hope you still reading this.
we are not blaming you. we just want to correct you. isn't this "seek for advice" is all about?
hmm.. are you really listening?

i have a rabbit for 8 years, i didn't know about this thread until i have another rabbit for adoption (but that's another story.); what i am saying is, you need to read a lot, it maybe hard text, but it's the package of being "grand parent". you need to really spare up your time and do some (more) research and reading! which is why i say, if you are working day and night, why bother to have more bunnies? caring for pet is like caring for a kid, you love them and wanted the best for them, they don't grow old by themselves one day. it need a lot of commitment.

i know a lot of ppl would disagree with me of saying this: but the truth is sometimes, the advice/information here are not 100% accurate, true in all cases cos you need to consider, diff breed has diff nature, diff environment, diff mum and dad (they will learn from their parent) and diff master (pet knows and will respond to master's behaviour differently). in short, rabbit are just like human.. unique. diff rabbit diff character. if only you read up a lot, put it effort to try and apply what suits your rabbit the most.

and i need to remind you, most of ppl only knows how to raise a rabbit, but not much of us knows how to breed and what to do for babies.
regulars here would agree that most rabbit owners start their journey with a weaned rabbit. caring for a baby is what a breeder does. i mean, ask me, even a veteran (<-- may i call myself this, hehe) but still clueless about babies! but one thing i can be sure, stop reading this thread will definately reduce your bunnies chance to live (healthily)...

lastly, you think ppl here got nothing to do and just want to critizes you only? reading up this thread and writting this post also need a lot of time, which is precious. ppl here may offer advice, but whether you are listening or even accepting all this is another story altogether.

Added on February 13, 2010, 8:31 pmYes, information not 100% correct because the people who advice is not there personally to experience. They are advising through the description given. Mostly are just the best guesses.

Everything is case to case basis.

Today is my son's birthday. I bought a pair of male rabbits for him as his birthday present. I know in the end I am the one will be taking care of them. biggrin.gif I always find an excuse to buy something for myself, like that my hubby will not scold me that I keep on buying/adding pets.

My son likes the brown color Lion Head, he wants it to look like a lion as seen on the internet site. But deep down inside my heart, I am not very sure whether is it a pure Lion Head or not, even though the seller told me so. I am also afraid that later my son will be disappointed, if his Lion Head grown up doesn't look like a Lion Hair style. laugh.gif

Thanks for confirming that. Will try to keep its fur fluffy. Purposely choose this color, so that it will look more like a lion when its fur grow bushy. laugh.gif

Last night I received my baby Teddy Bear rabbits which I ordered from the direct importer last week. Now I intend to collect all the breeds I like! I ordered a Woody Toy and Mini Holland Lop too, may be will get them by next week. Hubby still doesn't know about that, he hardly go inside my little zoo garden. But even if he found out, sometimes he pretends he didn't see them. laugh.gif

I must say that the Teddy Bear rabbits are very tiny in size, but they seem very healthy even though they came from Thailand farm. They are actively jumping around, and eating "kuat" too! The white color one looks like Mashimaro cartoon character. wub.gif I think this pair is male too.

Out of curiosity, did you check how old these bunnies are? They look a bit young actually from 2 indications:
- their fur is still rather fuzzy. The baby fur coat tends to look like this.
- the size proportions of their head to their body. Their heads tends to be rather big compared to the rest when they're babies.

The seller said 1 month old. He brought along some 2 months old, and 5 months old to show me the size of the rabbit (those are his pets). My gosh, his Kancil car was full of rabbits, easily 40, I think. He delivered around Klang Valley before came to my place, nearly 10pm. I could see his wallet was full of Thai Baht! He obviously came directly from Kayu Hitam to KL within a day. Luckily the rabbits I bought from him, today still actively eating and poo nicely. I checked regularly just to be sure the young rabbits are in good shape. These Teddy Bear are braver than the other pair, they are not scare of my dogs barking sound at all.

Ahh.. ok, that explains their looks. Anyways, the general rule of thumb is to only get rabbits that are at least 2 months of age. If so far so good, then nothing much to worry then I guess, but it'll be a good idea to keep this in mind for future rabbits though.

Yup..I remembered I read about the young age rabbit easily died of shock or environmental change, the risk is there to buy at such a young age, there are 1 or 2 two months old for me to choose, but it doesn't have the color I wanted.

There is no such thing as Mini Holland Lop. But there is something called Miniature Lop. Miniature Lops have 2 types. UK Miniature Lop is the same as Holland Lop. USA Miniature Lop is a larger lop ear rabbit. Hope this is not confusing.

Curiously wanted to know?  How they create Mini Lop?  Under fed that Lop Ear rabbit?  Or its gene is really a mini/dwaft?

i dont decorate the cage..only the basic things like food bowl,DIY hay rack,water bowl..for toys i put them around my apartment or the corners where she like to relax..my rabbit is free roaming only cages when i'm not at home or sleeping
if u dont have time to let your rabbit out often..u can try to limit the roaming area
if u got big budget..i suggest u can get play pen and surround a big area..then put fleece cloth or wood shaving and a small rabbit cage for your rabbit to hide and some toys and tunnels will be great..
rabbit to be comfy they like a big space for them to run and binky..

you can check out sangterap "the run" and see what i mean..

This is the link that best describe the Mini Lop ----> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_Lop. Generally much bigger above 4 lbs while Holland Lop must be below 4 lbs.

Mini Lop ears are bigger and their muzzle a longer compared to Holland Lops.

Well..I only have 1 son (already 11 years old!). Cannot have any more kids, so my hubby allows me to keep pets! By the way, I am not a housewife, I do work but work from home most of the time as I work US hours (which is midnight our time). I purposely bought a corner house 2 years ago, then build an air-cond dogs room for my dogs, and allocate some part of the garden for my rabbit and guinea pigs etc. My pets and gardening hobby helps to de-stress me, as my work is quite stressful, purely online project managing globally.

I have an Indon maid at home, doing most of the cleaning chores. Still can go vacation....what you need is more $$ to support this kind of lifiestyle. I spent about RM1k-1.5k a month on my pets' food.

Ya..ya..my Pets are very lucky to have me as their Master. As for my GPs and rabbits, I feed them with my own garden home grown organic veg weekly, free of chemical, and then use the GPs and rabbits' poo as organic fertilizers. Quite an eco-garden!

Now have 5 rabbits at home, 4 babies in one cage temporarily. 2 rabbits I have ordered but not yet arrived to my home yet, may be next week or next month. Wanted to buy 1 more cage, but some petshops are not opened yet.

I do feed hay to babies, luckily they know how to eat, but my senior female bunny doesn't really like to eat hay, very strange...I think previous owner never fed her with hay before. One piece of hay cake can last her 4 days to finish!

Every time I let the bunny out from cage and freely roaming in the garden, my dogs have to be caged inside their room. Or else they will bark non-stop. They can't stand to see the bunnies come out from cage.

Rabbits' poo is the best fertilizer. thumbup.gif 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. ohmy.gif

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.

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. rclxub.gif

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!

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.

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?? shocking.gif 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

more rabbits?? shocking.gif 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..

Actually I am more interested on how the rabbits look, colors and size that appealing to me. In fact, I also noticed that male rabbits make better pet than female. Female tends to turn aggressive after adulthood. Grooming time is the bonding time with my pets.

Collect the fur for pillow? Eeewww....a bit unhygeine isn't it?

Yup..I saw that on the website too..European use the wool to knit some clothing too. Hmm.....may be I could one day, when I collect enough wool, and learn how to clean the wool first. hmm.gif


Added on February 23, 2010, 1:09 pmThis is an eye opener for me...some of the blogs whom they claimed they are rabbitry breeders, I visited one and found out that the condition of the rabbits they keep is really shocking to me. I know some people have to make a living out of breeding, but....breeding inside the apartment balcony is making me speechless...see in this blog doh.gif. I understand everyone have to start somewhere, but really wondering where he throw the rabbits droppings? Inside the toilet sewage pipe?

My initial understanding of rabbitry breeders like those commercial breeders such as this:

You are right. Most breeders out there are doing it for the money. So the places they breed doesn't matter as long as they breed. I have no qualms about breeders breeding using limited space or not but I am very particular on cleanliness and quality of living for the rabbits. You really have to know how to set breeders apart.

There are 3 types in my opinion:

1) Hobbyist/Show breeders
Spend most of their earnings on up keeping their hobby. Knows the breed that they work on in and out. Always striving for improvements based on standards imposed and governed by a recognized club or association. Breaking even with their venture is almost impossible due to the hard work and investment put into it.

2) Commercial/Farm breeders
Big investment for meat trade mostly. In Malaysia normally supply pets to pet stores too.

3) Backyard breeders
No money but try to breed to get pocket money. Operates on a very meager budget. All they know about their stock is mostly breeding related. Condition is horrendous mostly. Pet quality also will do lahhHHhh....

Since you are in the dog hobby, I am sure you know what backyard breeding is and that applies to rabbits as well.

I will personally go for Hobbyist breeder anytime because they breed for quality and their rabbits are part of the family as pets at the same time.

Honestly, what you have shared really IRKS and scares the daylight out of me. It is very traumatic for me to see this sort of breeders mushrooming all around just because there is a little impression that rabbits can make money. I personally prefer not to highlight such blogs/website because it may mislead people into patronizing, thus encourage such conditions.

Very happy that my tiny Mashimaro are gaining weight since I brought them home! Seeing them growing week by week is really exciting...!

However the other one which I bought recently, it had diarrhea on the next day when I brought it home. Took it to the vet, and given antibiotic, stop the diarrhea already, but after 2 days of recovery, it is still not gaining much weight. sad.gif

u must be very careful giving antibiotics to rabbit because rabbit rely on the normal flora of good bacteria in the stomach..many vets in malaysia are not aware of this and not all antibiotic are safe for rabbits..better to ask..
good they are growing..


Added on February 26, 2010, 8:44 pmthe blog links u posted up..

dont even know what quality they are talking about...look at the price they are selling that rabbit...crazy...and yet some manage to be sold..probably to other desperate backyard breeders

i know what u mean. the worst is a particular petting zoo. "bring your kids to play and pet the rabbits, teach them how to love animals. also visit our cafeteria where we teach u how to cook rabbit meat".
sick. if i had kids, bet that whole experience will seriously confuse them. vmad.gif

sorry to hear about that. This is actually the reason why I had asked about the age of the bunnies when I first saw the photos. They do look a bit too young to be separated from the mother. This is something important to watch out for in the future too if you get more rabbits.

Actually the dead one was not from the Thailand stocks. The Thailand stocks were very healthy, they are gaining weight and active. The dead one was in fact already 2 months old, I bought from a local seller from Semenyih, I SMS him about the condition of the bunny 2 days ago, he did suggested me to bring it back to him let him take care of the bunny until recovery, but I thought I could manage it myself....sigh...well..I have myself to blame.

I buried it in my own garden.

Today went to PLC in Mines, cannot find Oxbow for rabbit pellets, I don't want to buy other colorful type, so I choose "Chubbypetsgraden" Pro Optimum. I think it should be safe to use on young and baby rabbits, right? How about the 2 years old rabbit? I did read from somewhere saying adult rabbit should be 14% protein. Not sure 2 years old consider too senior?

I opened up this Pro Optimum, very fresh smell...I like it! wub.gif

Yesterday I noticed my young rabbits having smellier poo, so I quickly switch to this brand, and their poo look great and not smelly.. very effective.

I think the Oxbow pellets pack given by my friend was not fresh, her rabbit died, so she gave away the balance pellets to me. I think that is the reason why the young rabbits are having soft stool. As I didn't give any fresh veg to the young this 2 weeks, only hay and pellets.

Wondering where could I get his Pro Optimum brand in bigger pack (6kg pack) beside buying online? I saw the price online is RM107, but the handling fee is nearly 15%, not really worth to buy online.

Your young rabbit died due to under developed stomach, not pellets. There is a reason why all if not most rabbit breeders in USA only sell rabbits at 8 week. Try to do some research at that end and you'll understand the reason to your baby rabbit's death. I am sure after you know the reason, you will stop patronizing pet stores and irresponsible breeders.

@fyire

why the fur orangy one?light refection?

the mummy is cute too..the other rabbit sniffing the mummy's butt the wire wont poke the eye ?looks dangerous

@justiny

pellets dont need to buy in big packaging coz it's not the staple food..summo got shelf life..if u buy in small packagind u can ensure that they have fresh batch all the time..but u have so many rabbits i guess it's the best way i think

if u buy above a certain amount got free shipping service

Pee stains on the fur actually. I took that photo the same day I brought my rabbits home from boarding after 3 weeks (brought the new bunny - Russell home at the same time too).

This tends to be one of the biggest problems with a pure white rabbit, as pee stains are almost impossible to wash off. On the good side, these stains are mainly on just the surface. Just had a fur trimming session with the fellow that same night.

I've timed before the lifetime of hayballs for my rabbits:
- Furball - 2 weeks
- Snowball - 2 days
- Navi - 6 hours

That's why now I just use the metal ball racks, and stuff the insides with hay instead. Lasts far longer, especially for Navi (the terror)

Definitely possible, but its more a question of whether you really want to put in the time for that or not smile.gif

If you're to think about it right, its basically just weaving the hay together. So you'll just need to look for long strands of hay to use, and spend a lot of time on it.

do beh yo send its rabbit anymore to PLC?...last weekend i saw they sell ND for nearly 400 but the rabbits are not in the behyo's display at the back..

tq
*
you may get oxbow pellets directly frm beh and yoh otherwise you may go to mines,balakong,there i saw good enuf stocks of oxbow pellets.

I'll check with my GF later on which vet her father beings their rabbit to in Penang.

In the mean time you can try rubbing olive oil to those areas. Kinda helps a bit to soften the crusts, making them easier to come off later. But the injection is still a must though

yup, pure breed. The DH is actually very similar to the ND in body structure and size, just that they only come in a single color. There's supposed to be a sub breed with blue colored eyebands in the process of bein officially recognized though

I notice one of my rabbits nose got yellow stain, wondering is it sign of flu? Its poo and pee seem normal. Will rabbit catch flu? Will it pass the illness to others? Should I separate it from others?

rabbit with flu is often call snuffles...hard to cure and might get the fluid in the lungs and die...common signs are like wet nose..if it's very severe it's like mucus

it's highly infectious to other rabbits since they are staying in the same house..why dont u google up

The DH was originally derived from the ND breed actually. This' most likely why they look so similar.

Today 2 of my rabbits died, both having same symptom, wet nose. This happening too fast...yesterday spotted one and today spotted another one, then both died in the evening. Took to the vet, but still died. I hope the rest that share the same cage could be safe. I removed the rest of the bunnies into another cage, and then wash the cage thoroughly with vinegar, hopefully this will disinfect the virus.

I finally got my long awaited mini lops. Looks very tiny, see the size as compared to the 3.5" food bowl. Wondering is it tiny because under age (below 2 months old?), or really they are mini in size. Anyway, as long as they are below 1.5kg when adult, I would be very happy liao.

From the photo, the fur doesn't look like the baby fur coat to me. The other rough way of telling is to look at the size of the poop. Underaged bunnies will have really small size pellets for their poop.

I disagree, baby coat. my guess it is around 6 weeks.

Disagree on point #2 too, rabbits with good food absorption have small poops too.

my one and only bunny...have another one in Ipoh belongs to my sister...


Added on March 8, 2010, 11:27 pmlast time hyorin fur was really really dense..maybe coz it's baby fur and i never brush her hair...so when the fur molt it still stuck in between other fur making it very dense...but after getting sick i brush her hair quite often then less dense already...it's still long but less dense..
or maybe due to the malaysian hot weather they shed the hair to be as thin as possible..hahaha...i dont know myself.

few months ago she was molting her mane almost botak..but it grew back nice and fluffy..haha

Play area is in garden, no need to clean. Cages 2 days clean once. Those below 3 months old, I no longer put them in the garden to play first, as I afraid they eat too much grass, later will cause diarrhea or stomach upset.

Morning - check one round on their well being.
Noon - check one more round, refill the water if necessary
Evening - check one more round, fill up food and water.

In between, randomly pick a few out to play and bond with them. I basically nothing much to do during day time, will spend time with my pets, I have a maid that do cooking, and house cleaning chores. rclxms.gif

Nice pics!

You could say that it is a dwarf breed weighing below 1.6kg or 4lbs.

by the way, is her nose balding? I can see a little balding and reddish. keep a close watch on that.

You could say that it is a dwarf breed weighing below 1.6kg or 4lbs.

Did you bring her to a rabbit-savvy vet? Because some vets are not very familiar with small animal illness and treatment.

I also see the nose like bald and red spot. Possible sign of mites problem.

darn, i wish i had a garden! would be absolutely gleeful if i had 12 rabbits! brows.gif

Play area is in garden, no need to clean.  Cages 2 days clean once.  Those below 3 months old, I no longer put them in the garden to play first, as I afraid they eat too much grass, later will cause diarrhea or stomach upset.

Morning - check one round on their well being.
Noon - check one more round, refill the water if necessary
Evening - check one more round, fill up food and water. 

In between, randomly pick a few out to play and bond with them.  I basically nothing much to do during day time, will spend time with my pets, I have a maid that do cooking, and house cleaning chores. rclxms.gif

Well..you don't need to bring to another vet yet. If you have some herba oil at home (i.e. Minyak Zaitun, Neem Oil or Euca??), you can apply on that bald spot first. Observed for few days and see any improvement or not, if getting worse, then only bring to vet.

This is the method I normally used on my guinea pig, if got fungal problem.

guinea pig is guinea pig,rabbits are rabbits
i suggest u don't do that for rabbits...if it's really fungal infection the vet will give u a proper anti fungal or disinfectant that is safe...if u have consult ur vet about it and it's not a problem then i think it should be fine biggrin.gif

hey what are your bunnies gender?...some rabbits are solitary rabbits they prefer to be alone rather than mixing with other bunny..mostly this happen to bunnies older than 6 months when they start being territorial..even if they get a long now as they grow older they will develop this teritorial instinct later..some rabbits do get along well mostly with different genders..but we encourage each rabbit to have their own personal cage...this way u can monitor their diet and poo too.

1 month old rabbit?dont u think it is too young to take it home?

Hi, I just discovered this forum and I'm glad that there are so many avid rabbit lovers in Malaysia.

But just a word of warning, be careful when mixing rabbits and guinea pigs together. Rabbits are a carrier of a disease (Bordatella bronchiseptica) which can cause a fatal respiratory disease to guinea pigs. And after reading through the forum, I realized that many of you all like to keep your rabbits in wire cages. Personally, I do not like wire cages very much for rabbits especially big sized rabbits that are fed large amount of pellets. They do develop sores at their hock known as pododermatitis/sore hock which can get very serious if not prevented. And the other thing I would like to comment that some of the owners do like to feed high sugar content fruits (apples, bananas and baby carrots) to their rabbits. I seriously do not recommend feeding these food items in large or frequent amounts. I do not have the time to explain why, but I shall when I have more free time smile.gif Remember rabbits are hind gut fermentors and fibers are essential to their diet and even timothy hay pellets are no replacement to the actual timothy hay itself. Remember that if you get their diet right the first time, your rabbit may live up to 10-12 years.

A final word, remember that rabbits are prey species and they do very well to hide signs that they are sick. So a single day of inappetance and inactivity can be quite significant for a rabbit. Many times when you notice the signs, it can be the terminal stage of a chronic disease that you just noticed.

That's all from me. Feel free to ask if there are any other questions.

Hi polaris welcome to the rabbit thread...nice issues u bring up to discuss here...

well i think oni juztiny has rabbits and gps..but they are not in the same cage..if the disease air bourne or close contact?

wire cages are commonly used..some even put out door where the burrow hole to live..as for me i'm using the minimal 3ftx2ft wire cage...the floor we line it with the bathroom plastic mat(forgot wat's it is called) to prevent sore hocks..

the reccomended about of pellets we suggest is 1/4-1/3 cups only...we strongly agree that hay is the staple diet..so i dont get by what u mean by "Personally, I do not like wire cages very much for rabbits especially big sized rabbits that are fed large amount of pellets."why target big size rabbits only?what's with 'wire cage-big size rabbits-large amount of pellet'??

for ur high sugar content fruits-we advice is to give as treats..there is a list of food on the 1st page as guidelines..never hear anyone give banana yet her i myself dont..these fruits/vege are high carb food and excessive can cause uneven stool size and worse leads to diahrea..we do encourage to feed high fiber food especially hay..

Totally agree with you 100% and what you mention covered all the basics all newbies should know. The senior members are well versed with proper diet I believe and some of them are not even participating in this forum anymore while having their rabbits in constant good health.

Keep on sharing and I hope you continue to be a good adviser to fellow rabbit thread followers.

car rides will definitely stress them out a little. they most probably will not eat and drink during the journey, but do provide them with hay and make stops to let them drink water. Once reach your destination, make sure they start eating and drinking normally.

Also, make sure that you do not leave them in the car without air-cond when you make stops at R&R.

Good luck!

I have experienced travel with 3 bunnies too.. cyberjaya-penang. we (my bf n i) make sure they feel like home : put them in the cage, provide litterbox, and boxes for them to hide. We wrapped the cage perimeters with towel, except front part of the cage where the aircond can blow to them (not too cold, not too hot). Keep them away from noise as much as can. Give treats before, during and after the journey.. some bunnies love to be pet.. so u can pet them to keep them calm.

Shiro (my si busuk HL), also traveled from kl-penang. The couple who brought him to me also pat him along the journey. Make sure u give them a comfort environment as soon as u reach ur destiny, such as playpen etc. They will settledown themselves as long as u make sure they eat n drink like normal... smile.gif

kekeke..i also always wanna bring my bunnies home but i phobia already..but during the car ride she seemed to enjoy herself..climb on the chair and jump on our lap..she's not scared like hiding or shiverring..i think it's ok to take along but risk of stressing them out is possible

Awwwww rabbit eat a lot...that is normal...Last time my boyfriend bought 6kg Alfafa hay for my rabbits...just 2 weeks only they finished all 6kg of Alfafa hay...Is good for them to eat Hay a lot. How old is your rabbit? Rabbit that is below 6 months is better to eat Alfafa hay and you can refer about rabbit's diet, on the first page of this forum. You can find other informations about rabbits on this first page. Just check out=)

Rabbit's digestive system is very sensitive, so is not good for your rabbit to eat cats food all. Rabbit cannot properly digest food that is high in protein.

You can check about rabbit's diet on the first page of this forum. Pellets also is very important for rabbits but just feed them little and provide them unlimited hay . I usually feed pellets for my rabbits at night only because, at night they are active..so they can easily digest their food=)

Awwwww rabbit eat a lot...that is normal...Last time my boyfriend bought 6kg Alfafa hay for my rabbits...just 2 weeks only they finished all 6kg of Alfafa hay...Is good for them to eat Hay a lot. How old is your rabbit? Rabbit that is below  6 months is better to eat Alfafa hay and you can refer about rabbit's diet, on the  first page of this forum.

Not good at all. You need pellets to keep his stomach filled and only alfalfa do not provide a balanced nutrition that your rabbit needs.

4 months is a good time to slowly change from Alfalfa to grass hay like Timothy/Orchard.

It is not enough, your rabbit need pellet that included other vitamin n mineral to let them stay healthy and strong. You can also LIVE ON just by eating carrot for years, but not enough, and wont live many many years.

I am not sure if it is a good idea to give different brand every day. You should just choose 1 and stick with it. their stomach may not be able to take the constant change.

hay is important coz has high in fiber..give unlimited hay..by 6 months must switch to timothy hay already..even noe u can intro timothy hay to ur bunny
pellets are important..give min minimal amount like 1/4 to 1/3 cups a day
