hi,,i got angora butterfly female 2 month rabbit last friday from midvalley.
i put my rabbit cage outside my house.it is on top shoe cabinet.

ytd i saw stray cat try jump on it.as result,i create sharp steel at each corner on top.
apart from it,how can i prevent stray cat attack my cute rabbit?

i don wan put inside house as rabbit poox2 a lot.i wash twice a day.

hi kazuki85,

according to midvalley petshop,there is no such thing as rabbit toilet.he show me cat tray where it is just a normal tray.i cannot visualise how does rabbit toilet look like.i put my rabbit cage on top of shoe cabinet.the only way stray cat can climb is on top of the cage.it is quite tall.around 150cm.the rabbit cage only kena sun btw 7am to 8/9am.after that,sun will not reach to its cage anymore.

i got my rabbit since last fri.i notice each day,whenever i release it..it getting faster n faster.means it can runs so fast even with age 2 month only.as for the litter bedding,i just wash the tray beneath the cage.few minutes job only.i didnt wash the cage inside.will do once a week.

i notice the urine is yellow instead white.is it normal?the shit is like pellet.

i think my rabbit start bored in cage.it always want to come out when i near the cage.it macam dog but because it is a prey animal,i worry let it out too long...scare she stress and die....even i let her out..i have to beware no stray cats around..imagine the cat catch it so fast n run away..

my colleagu got 2 rabbit...1 boy 1 girl....she put outside...next day, only left 1 leg... the girl gone.... the cage dont have big hole...and no force entry...she dont know what had happen to it... i also puzzle... snake can go into it as their body slim...but imposible they can come out as rabbit body inside its body... i think is stray cat where it grab the rabbit out and eat....pity the rabbit.. imagine u saw 1 leg in the cage....

hi kazuki85,

thanks for the hyperlink.do u put litter bedding/sand at the litter training? if not,i don think rabbit will go there n poox2.

don think i will let rabbit into my house...it will poox2 anywhere...so far i only let it come out for 10 min max..then put it back in the cage..as i scare it will stress it...
some more when it run,i catch it and touch it...that how i take care/play rabbit....

as for cat.. i have put sharp steel on top of the cage.. don think that cat able to stand on it...some more the cage is on top of shoe cabinet...i know cat can jump very high..by the time it jump on top of the cage.. God bless the cat..im sure it will yell like HELL

i already make complain to MPSJ to catch stray cat...hope it will prevent a bit..

hmm.... i buy play pan today..so that rabbit can roam more than 10min....even so..have to make sure got someone look at it..if not..stray cat wil come it and bite n eat..

hi everyone especially reply owner,

i dont feel offend.those remarks is good reminder.the thoughts is for rabbit which is very good to me.

ytd i bought 5 metal play pan.it cost $99.i let my rabbit out and it was trap within the parameter.i was happy.few minutes later,this si naughty yet clever bit bit,dont know how got over its body over those holes...it escape....this happen for my first cage..it manage to escape some how...

i put it back...put DIY 3 layer of metal at those play pan..this time it try escape..but half of its body stuck..it retrieve back...don know y this rabbit want to escape...it dont know it can die if stuck btw the metal...

i let the rabbit out more than 10 min ytd..as i watch it how it try to escape and finally it fails

it try to dig at my floor...so funny...then it bite the metal..also cant....

any advice whether it is normal for rabbit always try escape?

but one thing..ytd she run here n there until she rest at the floor..1st time i saw it..normally she go here n there..guess she must be tired

rabbit got die in the end? u didnt end your story..u only mention 'awful experience for me n him'.

my rabbit always try escape when she in play pan.... if let her out...she is normal... always investigation mode...sniff here n there...
normal?

hi,

my rabbit 2 month girl,anggora buttery.

i gave plenty of food but it didnt finish at one time...evetually,it has self control and dont over eat.compare the story i heard from ppl,rabbit eat watever u gave them and they eat until finish.

am i wrong?

my rabbit eats and healthy...she learn quick... last week,whenever i put her into playpan (quite big), it try to squueze her body out of the iron bar...she manage 2 or 3 times..as results,i use my finger and slap the face (hard to describe) hard.i wan to beat/punish her so that she remember by escape out,means get beat up.ytd,she no longer do tat.she hop n run in the playpan.anybody punish their rabbit for disobey/naughty? to me,rabbit is like dog.must be train and beat if neccessary.

hi all,

is ok to punish rabbit.now my rabbit don try to squeeze its body through play pan.she can run,eat,hop and etc in the playpan.im glad i punish her.
better punish her than she can eaten by cat or neighbour dog.

hi, for sure u have to get young....older rabbit not cute ...and very long n big ...unless u get those super mini rabbit

i don have experience for rabbit...but so far, rabbit still alive n happy... just make sure enough food,water,good cage and lastly let them play at garden or ground for few min to hours..

b4 i bring back my 2 month rabbit.i ask midvalley petshop staff wat food they feed?they said timothy hay...according to page 1 n other rabbit site, 6 month below is alfafa, 6 month above is timothy..

to play safe, i gave my rabbit timothy,alfafa and pellet.all is bought from the shop.rabbit find it "home" if the food u gave them is from the shop where they ate b4...to cut long story short, my rabbit prefer eat timothy than alfafa.and she love pellet..

but ho... rabbit got eating time habit... they eat at certain time..maybe the time u see them eat....is not the time......it is a mistake u give them carrot..normally ppl give when it reach adult...don think she can digest properly....according to expert, it is not wise to give rabbit carrot...even we know bugs bunny eat carrot..but in reality...better give them pellet or hay...

this is my rabbit angora butterfly
don know y sometimes i see her shivering.....is it the way they breathe...
when she open mouth,i cant see any teeth...


Attached thumbnail(s)

nolah. that is her outdoor playpan..she got her own cage another side that got proper bottle water,ceramic food container,etc...... it is on top cabinet...inside cabinet got her food,car shampoo n etc..

if im at home...i put her at playpan at car porch until 3pm..then i move the playpan to my garden......at night,i bring her back to her cage... basically she has 3 types of home... cage,car porch (ceramic), garden (grass)..

i imagine myself in the same cage 24x7....then automatically i give my rabbit different types of places to play

oh..i feed it timothy n alfafa hay,pellet..sometimes reward her with supplement food ...she dont eat my garden grass as main food source..
which reply i mention i feed her only my garden grass (strange)

i got advice from rabbit owner dont ever feed rabbit with carrot..they will get diarea,
actually ho, if we just feed them hay and pellete,sometimes with supplmenet ..those cube type..is it not enought meh?

by the way, to those rabbit experience owner, will stray cat eat rabbit?

last weekend,i saw a black stray cat looking at my rabbit.tat time my rabbit was in garden with protected playpan.i check youtube, got many video show cat eat rabbit,one of it got a cat crushing rabbit head and try to eat it.

im very anti cat especially stray cat.dont know y i hate cat so much.i love dog n rabbit.

so , anyone have comment about stray cat eat rabbit or your pet kena eat b4?

read first page and go read those blogs listed at 1st page.

make sure your cage dont have medium gap.baby rabbit able to squueze their body out of it and escape.
it happen to me.lucky,first day i got it..i put her in the room....next day morning, around 10am..found out it escape and roaming in the room by herself...took her 1 day to dare to explore n squueze her body out of the medium gap...we dont think it can escape when we bought it....so make sure u buy a cage that no snake can even go into it...


to me,cage is most important to rabbit..make sure it allows u to remove their poox2 easily...that has tray beneath it...

the rest... get the food like timoty n alfafa hay,pellet is a must... water bottle... big ceramic as can put more food..it is for future...

actually i just got my rabbit less than a month..don have experience...i just learn from daily experience....

so geli

first of all,how rabbit can get those sickness?

it appear out of nowhere?


recently,i allow my rabbit eat my garden flower.not sure good idea or not.but she like it very much.

Added on August 10, 2010, 9:40 amevery night, i chase my rabbit with broom at my garden.purpose is to make her run and hop.but i quite worry by doing so, she might grow very big and become slim rabbit.i like rabbit that is fat and small/mini. not sure my rabbit breed will grow how long.i don like long rabbit (ugly).

Added on August 13, 2010, 9:50 amneed advice.few times my rabbit escape from playpan.it happen when i put her in my garden.no matter how hard i beat her,she will do it again next day.is rabbit born forgetful?

for dogs,if we beat them,they wont do it again.but not for this rabbit.i beat her very hard,head,body and until she scream.but next day,she do it again.

please advice.i don think give her reward whenever she escape.nowadays more stray cat outside my house.sooner or later,she going regret.

advice.

decentdevil, i watch astro csi and your old rabbit is in serious danger.
the show is showcase how come brown bear keep die mysterous with their testicle bitten off only.found out black bear did it.it is because of territory reason.for female bear,the black bear will eat them until bone left.it is the natural of animal survival.

to all who feedback me, after reading the hyperlink about discpline rabbit..i decide rabbit cant be tame or train.so far,i only beat her once that scream.the rest is like making sounds (not scream).more like she say stop,dont beat me anymore...haha...anyway, i dont enjoy beat her.
now i change strategy.the reason she can escape at garden because certain portion of the eart is uneven.she use that to drill down from play pan.wat i do is put ceramic food or water to block the uneven earth.

i start make her run round n round ...as if im predator....it is so fun to see her run for her life..i use broom to chase her.. until certain rounds...she will give up and sit down quietly and without moving her body..that time i know she is tired and finish her exercise...then i put her in the cage... i believe by making her run every day,will improve her lifespan...rather than remain in cage....

she got better life compare my neighbour dog.that dog always been chain and never let roam freely. no exercise at all.just sit ,eat,shit and sleep...looping....

oh yea...got any rabbit hotel? i need to plan earlier if i go vacation one day....any recommendation?

actually i hope rabbit behave and react like dog...as i love dog.. they bark when got stranger....they learn...
i don keep dog as their shit is smelly,big.....and more issue n troublesome..

the only breed i like for dog is chow chow...they look like bear n lion..cute...but impossible to keep it... high maintenance like continenatal car..

rabbit is like hmm.....japanese car
