Hope you get well soon. You fell down?

Rabbits also can hurt their backbone easily. That is why you have to carry them nicely. If they kick too hard and without support, that will cause them to break their back.....

I believe he lives in a mansion somewhere in US and they call his bunnies playmates.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....

dun so obvious can or not nanti budak underage ask.....

for coat condition as I know some show breeders feed conditioning mixes which consist of sunflower seed, dried papaya, dried banana, oats and some other stuff that cannot be obtain in our local grocery shop. Will try to look it up and share.

I believe LOTSA love would make a difference too!

Excessive alfafa will not be too good for adult buns. They are too high in protein. The hardest part is how much is optimum?

I totally agree with that. Some good feed can even control odour I read. Their poo smaller and pee less smelly.

How to pity? By the looks of how things happening, I felt that the both of you have risk your rabbit's life. You also know how to say they are weak. Then in the first place you have to be responsible in separating them. Never use accident as an excuse. IF you intend to let the other one out, lock the other one in. These are animals and you are their human master. What set human apart is that we have brain to think and control things. Even controlling our hands to carry the bunny and put in the cage.

Sorry lo...seriously, I do not find reason to take pity. See how many lives has lost. Sorry for being blunt. I am quite disappointed because I believe this topic has been said for too many times. Sometimes very fed up also.

And please dun get me wrong, I only have your rabbit's well-being on mind. I pity the rabbits more than the owners.

Nuff said....

Now that it has happened already, just take good care of both the mummy and babies. And keep in mind that the mummy can get pregnant at this stage as well. Keep horny males away...

You sure you got check their gender nicely boh?

Coz got one guinea pig owner in US, he wrongly sex the boar then it got all the sows pregnant in the kandang...

wooOOOhooOOoooo.....

rabbits can change sex do you know?

NOT!

No la...it is the male that gives birth...

Okie...this is misleading information....BWAHAHAHAHAHA....

Kits have color already?

chins,

since u like big bunnies, try out flemish giant la....lagi best....like kangaroo man....

hey....they are nice and gentle ok....

If I have the space I would like to try one. But I think 1 day of poo will be able to drown me....the amount of pellets they eat will make me bankrupt....

HAHAHAHAHAHA...

rabbits are intriguing creatures. Every corner you turn there is a surprise. That is why they live in burrows....networks of tunnel under the ground....

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA....

can....you just have to do some hard work. Barricade the underground with cement. then only grow those vege so they can't burrow till the roots....

It is like the SURVIVOR show. Outwit, Outplay & Outlast....LOL.......

why all so quiet? Our rabbit thread moving towards the end of the list already...keep it up there man....

What show? Normally when you talk about show, it should be like the dog/cat shows we have here. But to think on another level, dog/cat shows involve dogs/cats with pedigree and that means all are purebreds. So, you can just ask yourself, do you normally see pure bred rabbits around? The answer is sadly no.

There are so many breeds of rabbits recognize by rabbit clubs overseas but most of the rabbits we have here are locally mixed variety. How nice it would be if there are people who start specializing in each of those breeds. Then we can start having show.

At the moment we are ready to have shows only for fancy judgments because there are no standard conformations to look out for. Things like best dressed rabbit or rabbits that can do tricks are just some of the things we can "award" a rabbit for. As far as whether the rabbit achieve certain standards laid down like ear placements, type and overall body structure, fur quality and many other official standards cannot be taken into consideration.

I know many people just love their pets as they are and I respect that. But I really hope that more take the initiatives to work on purebreds so that we can truly bring the variety of rabbits in our country to a higher level. And what saddens me the most is when mix breedings are done. There is no consideration for quality/standard and what is being contributed in the long run in mind. I could accept that you get sub-standard quality to begin and slowly work towards a certain quality. But sadly, most are "buta" breedings.

That is just my 2 cents. No intention to offend. IMHO it would be good for bunny future in Malaysia. And I am not asking you to discard your rabbits now and work on a breed. Normal rabbits make great pets too but just to strike some awareness so that instead of creating more pet quality, we should strive to add more show quality pets in our country. With that, more people will come to appreciate keeping rabbits as pets and in the long run, pet shops would be force to cater for our needs. If you notice now, the market is filled with lousy rabbit food and etc. When will our rabbit community start enjoying good stuff? They deserve better treatments than cats and dogs if not treated the same way.

a broken chinchilla mix?

toda,

2 female buns may work well when they are young. Some get bonded for life and there is still a possibility where they will mature and those hormones starts to kick in and they will soon start fighting. These are some of the possibilities that you have to consider. If you are lucky, they may be bonded but if you are not, your younger sister would find herself in some trouble trying to separate the buns.

The fact is, rabbits do not feel lonely like how us human perceives. Most of the time it is us that feel lonely for them. Getting a pair of opposite sexes for first time owners definitely a NO NO. you may want to consider spaying when they are after 6 months as another alternative. But personally, I would advice you getting just 1.

Beside from buying, you can consider adopting. You have to be very careful and be vigilant when you pick kits at petshops. Make sure the environment is clean. I have seen rabbits with all sorts of parasites from pet shops. So use lots of discretion when making your purchases.

As far as location to get rabbits, most petshops do offer.

Hope you find the right bunny for your sister. Good Luck...

I dare not mention names but at the end of the day, you seriously need to use ur own discretions. If given a choice, I would like choosing a pet bunny from a place where I can view the parents. That will give me some pointers on roughly how the rabbit I bring home would grow up to be.

I will look out for clean environment. First thing I'll look through is blowing the rabbit's fur apart to see if there are any mites/fleas. Mites can cause you a lot of headache in a long run. If your bunny has mites, it may end up getting full blown mange problem. Avoid rabbits with bald ears or have rough edges.

I will try to look at the teeth by gently opening up the rabbit's mouth to make sure no overgrown teeth or even abnormal growth.

I will look at the vent area for signs of diarrhea.

On a general note, try to observe the rabbit for a while in the cage and see if it is active or just sitting at the corner. Avoid anything that sits hunched up at one corner and better still avoid the entire batch because you may not know if they have been infected.

As it has been mentioned a lot a lot a lot of times. You can even get this information on the first page. STALKIE has put in so much effort and by not going through what he wrote just goes to show that no one bothers to do research. All just want spoonfed answer. And since it is the way, I am going to mention this once again. Rabbits younger than 6 months must have free access to alfafa and good pellets.

Above 6 months, unlimited Timothy hay (high fibre) and slowly limit the pellets to 1/2-1/4 cup (250ml) per 5 lbs body weight. That is 5 pounds and approximately 2.2kg. So if your rabbit is 1.6kg you feed 1/4 cup of pellets. The pellets should be high in fibre (above 20%) to assist with digestion.

So far, the best pellet available locally for young and adult rabbits is Sunseed Vita Plus. You can get this at Pet Lover Centre Ikano or Sunway Pyramid.

Soon, there will be a brand call Oxbow. If you can find this brand in future, slowly switch over and never change to any other pellets. This would be the best pellet to feed.

One more thing I need to add. You mentioned that it does not matter if you get male or female. Here is what you might get if you get either one:

1) Male
when they mature, they may start to spray urine all over. trust me, they can shoot very far. That is a territorial behavior. If he does not like you being near, he will spray. But generally males are very gentle minus the spraying. There are many male rabbits that have very good temperament and does not spray at all. So, it is up to luck.

2) Female
A cute doe will soon turn to be a monster when they mature. The hormones will cause them to start attacking your hand when you feed. The bite can be nasty.

Solution:
if you really cannot take the torture, consider spaying

Summary and Conclusion:
You may be lucky to get a super sweet bunny that does not do any of the situation mentioned above. It is up to individual pet.
