look for XOXO Pets Store. They are good with rabbit boarding.

hye guys....can anyone help tell me what are the smallest breed for rabbit?been thinking to have them but looking for the smallest one for my hagen zoo

Snowy started digging holes yesterday.
Today it was plucking the grass and putting it in her cage .
Then just now she started pulling her fur which freaked me out a bit until i did a search and said it was normal for a female to do that even though they aren't pregnant (false pregnancies).

what should/n't i do?
I've add more hay.
i've got oxbrow papaya tablets. how often can i give her or should i even give her?
how about handling her? i often cradle, stroke and give her head rubs are these ok or it'll stress/frighten her?
how about cleaning her cage? i know to leave the grass and fur. how long should i leave it?
I cleaned her toilet just now and she was ok with it.

If she has not come in contact with a buck, most probably is false pregnancy. It is common for intact doe to go through this and if you do not want it to happen again, you may consider spaying Snowy.

Supplements can be given daily.

Handling often is good so that Snowy will get attached and accustomed to handling. Easier for nail clipping in the long run. General rule of thumb, clean out cages once a week thoroughly. Clean toilet as soon as the bedding get soaked or overload with poo.


Here wishing everyone and everybun:

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR. GONG HEI FATT CHOY!

Thanks.

Shes the only rabbit. I'm always thinking but I havent got the time. Mum or Dad are always busy cant fix a time to go with me.

Shes VERY attached to EVERYONE & ANYONE. She'll lick you when she wants to be stroked or given head rubs. If you don't she'll nip you until you do.
Shes not afraid of guests and even goes to sniff and lick them.
She even gets overexcited and binkys around. Sometimes I have to lock her up.
It's like she thinks shes a dog.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE. Buns and their owners.
From me Snowy and me.

thanks...
thats when i caught her collecting grass. it was time to cut the grass anyway so i let her be.
we originally fenced the grill door to prevent her from going out but she bit a hole big enough for her to go through.
so now she goes in and out the house through it. we named it the "snowy's door".

Is it alright to have a rabbit home with only one opening at the side? Something like a dog kennel?

Another question is whether rabbits are very sensitive to the weather?Let's say it gets a little hot?

Thanks!

Facebooking with his furry friends.. lol!

kytz, it is perfectly fine to have a rabbit home with only 1 door as long as the door is big enough for you to reach in and get bunny in case of any emergency.

Rabbits are sensitive to weather and they do not do well under higher temperature. They may get heatstroke. That is why it is better to keep rabbits indoor.



PetGrass, how come little bunny so wet?

hehe.. I wipe his body with rabbit shampoo that time.. I snap that pic right after that..

hi folks!!!!

hector has settled in quite well in his new house. i was afraid that giving him his own room will upset him as he is used to living in the hall where all the activity is. for the first week he seemed uncomfortable and a bit timid but now, the cheeky boy is up to his old tricks

hector has a play pen in his room with his toys. the play pen is a bit empty at the moment as i'm still looking high and low for a rabbit 'house' for him. i'm looking for something big like a dog house with a tray at the bottom for easy cleaning. if any of you have seen that around, do let me know. there is also a little cabinet in his room for his bedding, food, treats, vitamins, cleaning items. i also got him a night light so the room isnt too dark.

here are some photos!

wow. a bun's dream home.
havent come across a dog house with a tray at the bottom...

Eli u spoil hector too much..he has his own room.. omg..

ok will look out the pet house for u

eli,
i passed by a pet shop and saw a dog house with what i think is a tray at the bottom.
but only half of it has "bar" flooring. the other half is flat flooring.
the whole thing is made of plastic.

You treat him like your own son. He is such a lucky bunny!

thanks yueyi!
most of my friends think we are nuts to give hector his own room, hahahaahaha

i'm in a dilemma of whether to spay.

called up a few vets to see if they do spaying for female rabbits and the costs.
one of it, the person (nurse?) asked me how many rabbits i have, how old and why i want to spay it.

i told her i only have one. a yr old and it was to
1. better litter train her (does it anywhere in the house except for the garden and cage-unless shes in it )
2. prevent cancer and other resulting sickness
3. shes also starting to pull her fur (not that its a problem to me)
4. what i read fr internet - prevent cancer, less aggressive, longer life

she told me it's not advisable/necessary since
1. only one
2. litter training depends - can worsen (i read that there are cases that takes longer to re-train and some just cant be re-trained?)
3. chances of cancer is low
4. can become even aggressive

shes basically telling me the opposite.
she did say if i really want it, then they will do it but her advice is not to do it.
im not so sure right now. i think if i really want to spay her now would be the best time rather than postponing it longer, i'll never get it done.

very cute indeed....i used to put my rabbit in playpen in one of my house room too but i will find the playpen collapsed already when he started to run n kicked the playpen...so i juz let him have the room all by himself after dat..hehe

recently i found out that some rabbit cannot use the bowl they like pee on it .......

i recommend those rabbit use porselain cup /mug , higher..........

aiyo the BM pets and aquirium ,really horrible la ,

outer ring ear mites is so dangerous , i saved the blackie but the white female i didnt manage , it is not strong enough.....................

inside ear hole mites not this dangerous ,outer ring ear mites is deadly ...........

recently i got buy 1 holland dwarf ,he looks like my brown baby rex who died , bring home diarhea the poo is shinny,but he is strong mentally , he eat although diarhea..........
holland drawft not cheap ,i feel dissapointed with BM pet shop , water so dirty and black and full of black particles , let the rabbit still eat n drink it.........
until become like this i though it hard to be saved already.

ear become cold next day and shit become watery but he still eat n drink , i put on chacoal water ,
after a while the poo become hard back,ear remains cold...........

finally i feed it the mixed herb rabbit food , the ear become warm back , after this continue feed it become stable and ok ,
i recommend the rabbit herb ........ maybe it heat up the rabbit ..............

the holland drawf i think is bring luck to me la , haha although i bought him at rm75 , cage rm50 .
i got a customer called me at same night , , next day i earned rm200 from him , now the guy become my regular customer...........
