Good luck!

you have a kind heart zenix. I don't mean to be cruel but it is this same statement that you had in mind that indirectly encourages more cruelty and care less attitude by sellers. A lot of cruelties thrive because they feeds on emotions and sympathy. I used to have this type of thoughts as well, "better in my hands than theirs". Now, I only visit pet stores for products and accessories. I rarely visit their live stock sections because I do not want to feel sad for the animals.

madfag, you did the right thing by limiting the space that your rabbit roam and that really helps in litter training.

They are good with rabbits.

These are cecals. If you have excess of these, most probably too much alfalfa. Switch to Timothy Hay entirely.

Entire butt wet with diarrhea is NO good at all. Check with Dr. Lynette and Dr. Loh in that case. Good luck.

please be patient, it is not like cooking maggie mee and expect her to gobble up everything. Also must understand that it takes a baby bunny tummy 8 weeks to fully developed. By the looks of it, Abby is still underage and there is too much "drugs" and "rojak" inside her tummy right now. Diarrhea in bunnies this age is a very bad news.

I advice you to seek vet's advice because I do not know how else I should advice. I am also afraid that there will be misunderstanding communicating through forums/sms/pm/phone. Best thing to do is get vet's advice and learn first hand what to do. Avoid the previous vet that is....

I am so sorry to hear this YeeLin04. Please know that you have done your bestest and please don't give up having rabbits as pets.

My only advice for you is, NEVER buy any rabbit under 8 weeks old. Although at 8 weeks they look less cute than Abby here, they are at least healthier.

Binky free Abby girl.....

Erm....where did u get that idea from? Newspaper that will dirty your hand with ink is good toys for rabbit? I think you might have got the wrong information my friend. Better you give the toilet roll for your rabbit to toss around. That's the cheapest toy u can use for ur rabbit.

Don't ever give up keeping rabbits. Although you face death in this hobby, u become a tougher person. It is the same for any pets once u get attached to them. I am sure you have learn a lot for the past week.

Cheer up!

Techi5,

Refer to the 1st page or this page - http://truluvrabbitry.com/6-basic-care-for-beginners/

Yes, give hay 24/7. General rule of thumb for pellets if your rabbit is below 6 months - unlimited (24/7) and if above 6 months - 1/4 of a ikea 250ml cup per day.

Go look for a corner litter tray Alex brand here's an example - http://chubbypetsgarden.com/webshaper/stor...ProductItem=701


Walala123 the next major event coming up would be the Rabbit show on 4th June 2011 at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre. Please follow this blog - http://mroc.wordpress.com/

I think this is a problem with many newbies. Differentiating between cecal and diarrhea. Excessive cecal is an indication of excessive protein content in food. Some rabbits thrive on high protein and some don't. That is the reason why Timothy Hay based pellets are made. And even if you are feeding higher protein content pellets, you can ration the pellets and feed more fresh Timothy Hay or any grass hay like Mountain/Bermuda grass.

That's what I call good stuff...

COME AND JOIN THE FUN!!!

Definitely. thanks for volunteering. Will give u a ring when the time comes and brief you accordingly...

1. Make sure it is not poisonous. The rabbit is biting the wire for 2 reasons: a) boredom b) filing teeth - get more chew toys for him/her
2. Very good sign, keep it up. The more hay the better!
3. I believe you mean Spaying. It will cost around 250 to 300.

Good luck!

You will get more attention at the Pet Store thread...

zenix,

1. Perhaps he has lop ear gene? The only time a rabbit's ear will fall down if it is not a lop ear rabbit is due to injury or it is sick. Else, it has lop ear gene. Sometimes you will get people selling lop ear rabbits with ears that don't lop at all. Strange but it does happen. LOL!

2. This is pretty subjective. Some prefer their rabbits to drink more some less but like humans all rabbits are different in terms of their needs. I am not a vet but as I know, excessive drinking could be related to kidney problem. Some rabbits cannot take the high protein content in their food. Pellets with high protein contents may cause this but not generally. Very subjective to individual rabbit on their tolerance for protein. Even some baby rabbits cannot take too much alfalfa hay. First go to a vet and ascertain if it is kidney problem caused by protein. If it is, try switching to Timothy Hay based pellets.

Also to solve your wet leg problem, always use a "raised floor" cage or litter tray so that all urine will fall down to the tray underneath instead of soaking poor bunny's fur.

I must stress again that it is best to consult a qualified vet if you find something amiss with your rabbits. Don't trade their lives with free advice. I only can gauge that much information from 1 or 2 lines that you type here. The Vet is able to check on your rabbit's blood and urine for more accurate information.

Hope that helps and good luck!

Change gradually....

good recommendation because based on experience some below 6 months really cannot tolerate too much alfalfa hay. everything is very subjective and must use on case to case basis. Yes, it is general rule of thumb to feed alfalfa for below 6 months and timothy hay above 6 months. But timothy hay can be given throughout....

May I ask why do u still allow them to breed knowing very well you cannot handle and have to put up for adoption?

Sorry for asking because it doesn't make sense to me...

Please open a new thread in Adoption section. Thank you.

Please don't use dettol. I am sure any vet would be able to help you. At least ask to check for parasite e.g. fur mites and then I am sure they will know how to treat.

Please do share which vet you engage so that I can post on the 1st page. Thank you.
