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!

Dear all,

I got a problem with my rabbit. Recently she like to sniff on my leg from bottom to top, and slowly she like wanted to climb on me. So i'll indirectly scratch by her. 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.....
*
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.

Pellets, just give a rationed amount each day. Hay should be unlimited for them to chew on.

Dear all,

my rabbit will be turning into 6 months soon. I know that the hay will need to change to timothy. But my concern here is for the pallet, i'm feeding her now with show rabbit feed that from Beh & Yo. Can i continue with it or i should change?? Please advice.
*
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.

how do i tell if its mixed or pure bred  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

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.

when i picked up my rabbits , they kicked me =(
maybe the method you said will work , i'll try it later on.

just now i let bobby roam freely around the house with baby. and let blackie play around herself in the playpen. seems that bobby is too 'desperate' to mate with baby. what should i do? let them mate or... haha
*
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?

basic rabbit cage not expensive and can be easily found..why don't u just go pets wonderland in mid valley..i bought 1 cage there RM55 for the basic size cage...around 2.5ftx1.5ft...the quality is acceptable..but dun worry rabbit wont chew through metal..hahaha
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)

oh izit??what cages do u use now?stainless steal ones??i saw some in ace hardware
..my bunny don't chew the bars..hehe..or should i say she has not develope that habit yet..her fav hobby is to play with the cat balls with the bells inside
*
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.

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.

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?
*
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.

there is no such thing as exact....i give around 1/4 to 1/3 cup to my bunny

baby bunnies...cute!

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.

guys i have read some article for the newly owned rabbit that was brought to house for the 1st week and most new rabbit will probably die due to stress or what ? anyone can correct me with any example website please?

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.

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.

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.
