hi, u can try to comb your bunny when they are molting. try to comb out as much fur as you can. this will help your bunny to drop lesser fur. if your bunny is molting. do not let them roam around, temporarily confine them in the cage so that their fur will not fly around in your house. wait until they stop molting then you can let them out again to roam freely. i suggest u to buy a vacuum which i found it very useful in sucking all the bunny fur. it will make your house clean and less fur. hope you can learn to bear rabbit molting season, it is part and partial of our life being a bunny owner.

So sorry for the late reply (kicking myself). I have once had a little rabbit broke its leg because got stuck inside the hay rack. The leg was turning 360 degrees, total dislocation. My vet helped me "set" the leg with a type of "cast" material made of metal wrapped in foam. I can't remember the name. 90% recovery. After a few weeks, my bunny can hop like usual. Can be done if u "set" it early.

Good luck!

Hi all..
My male rabbit likes to suddenly jump around like kena kejutan electric. Is it normal or 'he' has some problems (i.e itchy)? I'm so worried as this is my first time having pet.

Fyi, 'he' is 3mths old, live in the cage with a female rabbit same age. Tq..

I believe that is Binky. Young rabbits do that all the time. Welcome to the rabbit hobby!

i got comb it.. but how long till they stop drop fur? molt once a year ka? i try to use the vacuum but the bunny damn scared to hear the 'woooooo wooooooo' sound.

LoL
my buck also scared of weird noises.. but his new cage-mate, a mix-angora doe 3 months younger than him not afraid.. Any noise he is not accustomed to, you can see his eyes become so large like guli/marble..LoL the little angora on the other hand either laze there or very busybody want to see what is happening..

*update : added pictures =)

total cuteness! the girl bunny is so relaxedd~~~

Thanks meiling... that day the sr. doe started to bite again.. but was blocked by the playpen... my heart almost drop when i see the the doe junior seems like injured... but thank god.. she's fine.. mature means 4-5 months izzit?

one more thing... will the doe get frustrated with the desperate buck keep on humping on her? when i let them out for play.. the buck seems like chasing her n humphump, and she keep on running and running away from the buck... but when the buck stop chasing her.. she went back to the buck and seduce him... they are quite a lovely couple.. as they stayed together in the same cage when they are still no more than 1 month old... one thing bout them is that the buck nv disturb her when they are in the cage... the humphump activity is on when they are out of their cage...

So meaning if I neuter the males, they won't fight and able to live together with the female without reproducing? The fighting for dominance part.. they will still fight regardless whether they r neuter or not right? Coz I read from a few sites and it says they will still fight eventhough they r neutered.

Uber URGENT question!!

Will a 6month old buck attack a 3 month old doe of different breed? Fellow rabbit-lovers, I need your guidance !!

hey...dont u sell rabbits at cheaper price?

just bought myself 3 young rabbit,2 of them are argora breed while the other one is "kampung" <--- dun why the shop keeper called that. thinking to add another one tomorrow prefer to get myself a lionhead lak,,,

adorable niaaa! (n__n)

Heavy moylting season normally will last for about 2 to 3 weeks n 3 to 4 times on a year. Ya, some rabbits will get stress up on the vacuum noise. Try top put yr far away while u vacuum their fur.

Any DIY rabbit cage to recommen? Kindly please post up a picture thanks :-)

I suggest you build a playpen. I dont know where to get all those nice looking fences of internet rabbit playpen. but i sure u can build 1 from regular wire mesh..

oooh..where is sangterap when you need him ><"

My 3month+ anggora passed away 2 nights back. The last I saw, it alive was right before I went out for dinner - I made sure the bowl was filled with hay and water bottle still had more than 50% of water in it before I left for my dinner. I got back 2 hours later and she has already passed away.

First thing I noticed was the way how her head was twisted all the way to the back.
I looked like someone had twisted her whole head and threw the body into the back of the cage. While I stood there looking at its body, the buck was tapping it with his paws - was it trying to check it the dead rabbit was alive?
Moments later he just lied down next to her.. I waited about an hour or so before removing the dead rabbit. Wrapped it in newspaper and placed it in a shoe-box..then the garbage bin..

What I really really want to know is.. what on Earth could have caused her to die in such a manner?! Did the buck accidentally kill her ? If so, why? ><" Or could someone had done it and ran away from the scene?

Did many survey saw their diy cage is very nice but is kinda hard to find the same material as them.

garbage bin? why didnt you bury her instead
