2. when i open his cage, he not come to lick my hand and ask for threat anymore.... he keep squeeze at a the side of the cage like im going to kill him.. zzz...

3. giving him fruit, pallets, (which he usually love them... from my hand)..... he will push away the food very hard... and put his head away from my hand.. turn here turn there when i put the food to his face....

4. after i give up.. i put his food at the tray inside the cage... he will stil squeeze at the side of the cage... BUT after i lock his cage, he will stand up.. go eat the food...


Bunny lovers.... how to get my bunny back to normal??????? Pls help... SAD SAD SAD.... very brilliant bunny which know more n more tricks and happy go lucky wit me all the way when go to the garden..... now act totally different when see me....

poor kjkam... your rabbit dont want to friend you anymore. I'm not a rabbit specialist or rabbit whisperer, i think you rabbit either grew to be lazy (they get lazier as they age) or your rabbit is not familiar with you anymore. I think for now, best to give it more attention. I think rabbits are attention seeker too! My female rabbit, Fluffy will thump her feet loudly when we ignore her for some time.

Good luck in understanding your rabbits behaviour!

thanks.

we always call her busybody or "kepoh-chi".
if got people come, she go sniff then want to lick and then want to be carried. Dad will say put her back in the pen.
when I clean her pen she always disturb. Walk and climb all over and even lie on the wet floor.

Can I know which pet store is selling rabbit? In k.l area..
I'm looking 1 but seldom I can find it.. Holland lop type or Netherlands dwarf..
Thx thx

My 5 weeks old Netherland Dwarf bunnies; black beauty, brown chestnut, REW, butterfly (without b'fly nose)

Hi, there's an abandoned rabbit live in an abandone house around my area here, few years already and the rabbit looks old too. I didn't know until recently my dad told me about it. Quite pity that fella, so I thought maybe I buy something for it to eat, what should I buy? carrot?lol Sorry I have 0 knowledge about rabbits..

hi, u can get rabbit pellet and timothy hay. carrot is not advisable. thanks for taking care of this abandoned rabbit.

Hmm pallet not so suitable, because the gate is locked i can't go in, can only throw from outside. Is there any treats for rabbit?

u can still throw the hay... i'm also against carrot, it serves like "dadah" to a rabbit - seen many that starved themselves just to wait for another dish of carrot...

Rabbit can live without pellet, give as many hay as you can, they will be fine by just munching on hay. you can actually give carrot as a treat, may be once in two weeks.

okay get it, thanks!

HOHO just to report the good news... my rabbit go into normal after i back for 2 weeks ++.... Now he is hopping around me like normal, could do all his tricks as i told him. Thank God, times and passsion really works!!!

yay! haha yeah some time and passion works!

Hi, i don't see that as a problem.... pee can come out in many other colours depending on the feeds n kind of water they drink on... common problem with dwarfs however, is malocclusion - its inherited from their dwarf ancestry n u need to check the teeth always.

Thanks a lot. Any suggestion pellets for dwarfs? Which is pellet is good? Currently I'm giving bengy pellet.

Do u mean [Bengy 25kg - repack rm2.50/kg] or [Bengy 5kg rm17.50/pack]? I've heard many bad reviews on the 25kg pack, but some say the 5kg pack has better quality. Cargil is more pallatable than Bengy though. While rabbits love GoldCoin, it tends to make them obesse so I avoid GoldCoin.
As for myself, i'm using using Hagen - they come in 5lbs(2.27kg) pack for rm19.80, and 2.5lbs pack for rm11.80 - price depends on where u are, in terms of availability - Hagen is available at Giant, so i can buy my rabbits' food while doing my monthly shopping, it saves on parking ticket. And another thing, Hagen has "suitable for Dwarf Rabbits" written on its labels.
Anyway, i only give small ammounts of pallets daily, main diet is Alfalfa and Timothy hay, made availlable all day. I use Bermuda hay for their nest.

Im her BF here.We are feeding were feeding the bengy 1kg at 1st,later on now a friend said its the same as the 25kg repack so we got 2kg of that.But now im going to change it into hagen 2.27kg after this bag finish.
As for hay we wer using Alfafa(the bugger loves this) but the same friend recommended timothy.Btw this guy is a rabbit breeder as well(our rabbit wasnt from him).But our ND doent even touch the timothy hay.So im going to change to Alfafa now.
My plan is to feed alfafa as staple n provide some pellet everyday.Tats all.Good enof? Im looking for the bermuda hay for beding but cant find...is it cheap?

Bermuda hay comes at the same price as Alfalfa n Timothy hay, i do not use it as bedding but as the newborn babies' nesting material because it has finer stalks n leaves.
