I seriously do not find any reason why we should vaccinate our rabbits. And I do not think our Malaysian vets have those vaccines. And the 2 common virus rabbit need vaccines for are the Myxomatosis & VHD which I do not think we have an outbreak in Malaysia yet.

lm_meileng,

Small pellet doesn't mean you need to increase the amount to feed. Firstly, I hope you have switch to Oxbow from previous brand gradually. Sudden 100% change will be problematic. U start off feeding 1:4 ratio 1 being Oxbow & 4 being old pellets.

Oxbow is good pellet therefore, you can start limit pellets and feed more on Hay.

Again, Hay is rabbit staple food, and pellets are just for filling up the stomach. you need good pellets nonetheless.

This is MY own strategy. For adults, I give 1/4 x 250ml cup of Oxbow per day. Unlimited access to Timothy Hay. I also give vegetables such as Celery, Siow Bok Choy & Parsley.

For rabbits below 6 months you can give them Unlimited Oxbow Bunny Basics 15/23 and Alfafa.

Hope this help. Always remember, no sudden 100% change in food. Your rabbit stomach will get a shock!

yeap that's Holly Hope my lilac baby.....

djspinnet,

I am very sorry that you are coming to this point. Of course I hope your rabbits live forever and that is my hope for everyone here as well.

It is especially hard when you have bonded with your rabbits.

I normally pray for a peaceful passing without suffering if my old rabbit have to go.

Hope you find peace accepting the fact IF your rabbit really have to pass on to the other side. I also do not deny that your rabbits may be waiting to see you for the last time. I know that is normally the case with dogs. Rabbits are smart too and I believe there is a possibility.

Just like the failing kit I had previously. It was holding on to its dear life until I told it to just let go. Not too long after it breadth its last. Heart wrenching.....

I truly understand and there are no words to describe this type of situation. Even I find it hard to find the right words to say. But let's just be hopeful that everything will work out fine.

Take good care and dun be take it too hard if the inevitable happens.

that is one thing i do not understand. how can people sell rabbits at such a young age. really unethical!

yeaps. very pitiful la.....

sighhhHHhhhhhhh......

$$$$$$$

The people at the shop don't even know what is good for the rabbits to begin with. When I requested them to carry Oxbow products also put up a proud face and say, "Ask the distributor to come with brochure and talk to us". $#%%#$#$ them la.......

see only never buy kah?

Beh,

please educate them a bit...pass them some knowledge.....

Nico,

yours is a very tragic story la. I wonder why you encountering so much headaches with your rabbits. I hope your Daddy will be fine.

my only advice to everyone breeding is that, this is the exact thing that you have to consider when breeding. Will you be passing on this type of problem to future owners or not. see our friends here always have to bring Daddy in and out of vet. So much trouble.

A lesson for all of us: Pass on GOOD STUFF!!!

sigh......

bwahahahaha...

Welcome but not kidnap right?

I believe it is our responsibility to recommend the pet shops to sell Oxbow. These places are available because they are willing to take in from Beh. If you know of people who owns pet stores, just ask them to try this brand out.

Keeping the information to yourselves also no use might as well spread the word. That is how we can have constant supply because there is demand.

PLC have humble and approachable staffs. They are willing to try not like some other pet shops. This type of pet store should be applauded because they are not too proud to learn. I believe their service is not too bad. IF you need something from the Ikano outlet to be placed in Sunway outlet, they will get it done on the day you put in the request. They even call you to follow up.

That is what i call top notch customer service.

kalakatu,
very sorry for your loss.

SeLrAhC,

be happy:

what cage setup? That's the backdrop i setup for photo shoot exclusively. LOL!

my cage better cage setup coming soon. Not materialized yet. soon....

Chin,

Thanks for the compliments. I wanted to take photos with my digi cam actually. But when I got the right pose from her, the batteries died! those photos are taken using Sony Ericson K750i....BWAHAHAHAHA...

I also surprised turn out quite okie....

YEAH BABY!!!!! SPREAD THE OXBOW EMPIRE MAN!!!!!!

OIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....

I don't want to end up in some RIVER somewhere DEAD and rotting. Then ATM withdrawn from my bank in Thailand....

Please dun come with parang man.....

Rabbits will normally stop eating a while after traveling...

Try not to put your hay on the cage floor. You can use hay racks.

y don't u do that?

Tell that fellow, you punya bisnes sangat murah, gua tak mau bagi u untung itu murah punya profit....RM2 sekilo boleh makan, kerana sudah lapar tahi pun makan. You pergi suap anak you makan tahi tengok apa jadi....mesti best.....

This is not a rabbit, this is a panda....LOL!!!!!

You all remind me of that DiGi advert, Tai Ko ma....always going around parang and shovel.....

More like I want to come kidnap all your chinchillas la!!!!

About Toby. That is a sad case. I saw damn young Sugar Gliders there...some are even dying....sob sob sob....why like that.....

PROFIT JUGAK punya pasal....

Nico & All,

Actually I have been thinking about how the shop keeper told you about RM2 sekilo rabbit pellets. After the entire day thinking about it, I realized that I actually need to tell everyone this.

Yes, many cheap rabbit pellets out there. And most petshops only emphasize on profit. But just let me tell u guys what I think okie...

When I keep my first rabbit, the main problem that I encounter was the smell. Many people give up their rabbits when they get too stinko. After using Oxbow, I realized that my rabbit do not smell that bad. Of course urine have smell but somehow, the smell is not that strong.

That being said, most pet shop people do not know this and their RM2 sekilo rabbit pellets is those that causes really bad smell. And when people start to give up their rabbits because of the smell, I do not think their RM2 sekilo will be as LAKU.

Likewise if the RM2 sekilo rabbit pellets causes health problems, soon no rabbits will need those pellets because they will all be DEAD!

So, if you encounter snobbish shop keepers like what Nico had mentioned, just tell them to PANDANG JAUH sikit....with good pellets we will have healthy and smell good rabbits. With that, people will come back for more!

So now, RM2 sekilo better or longer business better?

Why u simply let your dogs roam outside the house? If that is the case then I think you should never let ur dog go out anymore.
