me too..i have one like urs kenji..but he seems does not care about it...he like to scratching on the floor more than playing his own toys...hehehhe.. is it normal for bunny to always scratching on the floor and boxes??

well, if it is not normal then my rabbits is consider crazy liaw.
they like to scratch box, floor, books, walls, newspaper and almost anythings.
just provide them with the right things for them to play with.
i gave them books that i don wan and they love it very much.
especially the yellow pages books.

yeah it's their nature to love to dig (not my bambi though, she seems quite lazy in terms of digging, never see her dig before ). so it'll be good if you can provide like a box of shreded paper or newspaper to let Luli dig.

rabbits don't need nutritional supplements, like calcium blocks. in fact, too much calcium is not good for them - leads to bladder sludge and kidney issues

sorry for asking this silly question..

is Pellet necessary? I mean if for like a month I just feed my Luffy hay, is that ok?

@above

thx man..

;D

hi, this is not a silly question......as far as i am concern, only hay should not be a problem, pellet is just for bunny to fill up their stomach. let me put it this way, hay is a must in bunny diet but not pellet, just imagine those rabbit in the wild, they eat grass or hay only, there is no such thing as pellet. however, if u wish to feed yr bunny pellet, remember not too much .......

pellets serve as supplement and fortified to nutrient that bunny cannot get from hay... pellet can consider secondary diet that goes along with hay... so you don't need to feed a lot but small portion a day should be fine

@Lm_meiling and Stalkie

I think I will stick with Hay 1st, and feed some vegie to Luffy..

I just get Luffy..

dont give vege yet. wait til the rabbit is at least 3mths old before giving vege. when u start to give vege, feed a little amount first, and monitor ur rabbit to see if it has soft stool... if not, u can continue to increase the vege amount slowly.

if your rabbit gets soft stool from vege, then stop feeding that vege immediately. later on, you can try a different type of vege to see if its more suitable for your rabbit's tummy

btw, why are you not able to feed pellets?

it is true that rabbits can survive only on hay and water, but the hay must be very high quality hay. otherwise, the rabbit will be malnourished. on top of that, your rabbit is still growing. it is better to give pellets at this stage to provide him/her with the protein & calcium that it needs to grow. what kind of hay are you feeding now?

you can cut down on pellets after your rabbit reaches adulthood.

vege, although nutritious, we have to remember that different vege contain different nutrients. in order to give your rabbit a balanced diet mainly from vege, you will need a LOT of varieties and big quantities as well. difficult to do, unless you enjoy studying the nutritional contents of each type of vege

as stalkie said, best to stick to a balanced diet. most importantly, lots of hay. supplement that with pellets, and then vege when the rabbit is older.

rabbits like human companion and also listen to what we say, but song/music i'm not too sure.

hi, sorry for the wrong address, the correct one should be http://thetimothyhayclan.spaces.live.com/. yap, what 11Jan said was correct, if u only want to feed with hay, it must be very fresh and high quality hay........the bunny owner that i mentioned above manages to get very very very fresh hay, u can see from the photo he uploads.......thus, there is no skinny bunny from his farm...........

any idea where to get fresh Hay?
