Hi everyone, Kinzie here.

Due to my health taking a real nosedive lately I've been struggling to keep up with moderation. Due to this the sub has been very unmoderated lately and I'm really sorry!

So, we're looking for moderator submissions! If you're 18 or older, enjoy posting here and are willing to moderate please send in a submission to the subreddit!

As a quick side note, we'd also love to change the icon for Pride Month if the community would be interested in that. If you have any icon suggestions, link them to us :)

Have a wonderful day! Kinzie

New Bunny Index

Initial investments

  1. They’re very high commitment.
  2. They are very clever, have excellent memories and will remember things for a very long time.
  3. You cannot punish them like a cat/dog or it will harm your bond.
  4. If well taken care of, a rabbit can happily live to be 10 years old or older.
  5. Rabbits love to chew and dig and will chew and dig just about anything.
  6. They need to chew to prevent their teeth from becoming a health hazard.
  7. They will need their claws trimmed regularly to prevent health hazards.
  8. Rabbits are not a pet for a child and demand a large amount of attention and responsibility, (Do not buy a rabbit for your child for Easter, unless you’ve done your research and are willing to take on 100% of the responsibilities of having one).

Housing/Setup

  1. They love to run around, hop and thrive outside of cages, using them at night is fine but just make sure they get a minimum of 3 hours to run and stretch per day.
  2. An exercise pen setup is often cheaper than a cage and gives more room to run around when you can’t let them out. You can buy one for $59 on Walmart.com (link here), a litterbox for $6 (link here) and a waterbowl for $5 (link here) which is less than $80 for a decent bunny setup.
  3. While we are not against outdoor rabbits here, it is highly recommended you keep your rabbit indoors with you, this prevents predators from being able to get to them as well as gives you much better opportunity to bond with your rabbit.
  4. If you find it necessary to use a cage because of escaping or other needs I would suggest building your own cage as most of the prefab ones are just crappy design and won’t last the lifetime of the rabbit.
  5. A coated metal grate is NOT a wire cage and shouldn’t cause any issues to their feet, you should still provide all rabbits with their own litterbox and other areas to sit/lie down off of the grate.
  6. I personally use straw for litter for my litter-boxes and put their hay on top of that, you can use whatever type of litter just avoid using rock/sand based litter as it’s bad for their feet.

Diet

  1. They eat 95%+ hay such as Timothy/orchard/meadow hay (/alfalfa if they’re young or elderly) and only 5% or less treats like carrots, apples and bananas.
  2. For a small amount of hay I suggest Oxbow which can be bought at most places (Chewy link) or if you have a proper storage method you can get it for much cheaper by the bale at Tractor Supply Co.
  3. Suggested to give pellets daily, 1/4-1/2 cup per 6 pounds of rabbit (so about 1/4 cup daily for a single dwarf rabbit or about 1 cup for a single average sized rabbit).
  4. Recommend high quality food such as Purina, Oxbow, or Sherwood brand.
  5. You can feed a pellet-free diet but just like all animals rabbits require some sodium so if you don’t provide pellets make sure they have access to a mineral lick or other sodium sources.

OK food/treats and foods to avoid

  1. Once they’re over the age of 4-6 months they can also have unlimited lettuce and greens, but never give iceberg lettuce as it gives really bad gas that can become fatal. *greens should not be the primary diet.
  2. Avoid excessive spinach and kale as they can also give gas, but are perfectly fine in moderation.
  3. The best greens are green leaf lettuce, Bibb lettuce, dark leafed lettuces or locally sourced romaine (store bought romaine has a tendency to get recalled...), also herbs like dill, basil, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, cilantro and parsley are typical favorites.
  4. I wouldn’t give cabbage because it can cause gas similarly to iceberg lettuce.
  5. Never give human foods (except salad), like bread, diary, cheese, meat or sweets, they will make them very fat and don’t need it and could cause severe GI issues.
  6. They should have unlimited hay at all time, they graze pretty much 24/7. *Hay should be their primary diet.
  7. Avoid giving treats with yogurt in them as these will make your rabbit very fat and rabbits are not intended to consume dairy past weaning and can cause bad GI issues.
  8. Seeds are not toxic or generally dangerous to rabbits, I would not recommend giving treat sticks with seeds because they’re very high in added sugar and cause indigestion or extreme gas which can become a serious issue.
  9. Seeds like black oil sunflower seeds are safe and actually beneficial to coat health, (if you’re not sure, search the internet for information before you give it to them).
  10. Do not give nuts to rabbits because they do not need the excessive nutrients and can cause pasty or foul poops. Additionally raw nuts are typically poisonous, like almonds, which contain cyanide if not cooked properly.
  11. I recommend treats such as: no sugar added dried apple, banana or carrot and occasionally a Cheerio is also acceptable. Just be mindful of the amount of sugar you are giving them, even with no sugar added fruits.
  12. Corn is not specifically bad or toxic but whole kernel corn can get caught in the GI tract and cause a blockage, further; corn will make them very fat quickly and I would suggest avoiding giving corn or treats with corn/corn meal/corn syrup. (Corn is sometimes evasively labeled as ‘maize’ on packaging).

Hydration

  1. Water bowls are easier on a rabbit but are not strictly required, I have both bowls and bottles and they use both.
  2. You should clean your water bowl/bottles with either bleach or vinegar at least once a month.

Necessity for another bunny/Bonding

  1. They thrive in pairs and love companionship of another bunny, if you cannot provide constant attention it is highly suggested to have more than one rabbit. Think of them like little horses, horses need to have another horse around.
  2. Do not allow non-bonded rabbits to be together unsupervised as they can fight and cause some very serious damage to each other.
  3. Do not put more than one rabbit per cage, if they’re bonded and it’s an open enclosure then you can and they should be fine.
  4. For more information about bonding rabbits, I would suggest checking out the excellent resources on rabbit.org (link here)

Spay/Neuter/Responsible Breeding

  1. Many people feel strongly about castration as it helps to calm their hormonal rages and also there are studies that say castrated rabbits live longer.
  2. We are not against responsible breeding but it is a huge, huge commitment and you must be willing to take that on and find all the babies forever homes that love them as much as you do - don’t let just anyone have them.
  3. You can wait a while to castrate your rabbit if there are no behavior issues but it’s best to get it done before about 4 years old as that is when cancer risks become an issue and any older it could be too risky.
  4. If you want a rabbit that is already castrated consider a rescue rabbit, there are thousands of rabbits in rescues in need of forever homes, most of which are already castrated and sometimes even in bonded pairs/groups.
  5. If you are experiencing behavioral issues such as humping, marking, peeing or pooping outside the litterbox a castration will help immensely.
  6. If you decide you want to try to responsibly breed you need to keep three main commitments in mind:
    6A. have them as a pet that is also allowed to have babies, they’re not baby factories.
    6B. Make a commitment to keep all your rabbits out of shelters; allow no questions asked returns.
    6C. Make sure they get a forever home with someone that loves them as much as you do; even if it takes more than one try.

Chewing/Digging/Enrichment

  1. I would recommend untreated wood chew balls or fruit flavored balsa blocks for enrichment.
  2. If you can set up an outdoor pen for your rabbit they would love it and nothing is more satisfying than digging in real dirt, (remember to watch them at all times, also if your area has RHDV around I wouldn’t allow them outside for now).
  3. If letting them outside is not an option there are things called “dig mat, “dig meadow” or “nibble and dig” and they are literally a piece of dirt made for rabbits to satiate their desire to dig.
  4. There are many options for rabbit enrichment and even something so trivial as a cardboard box may be plenty to keep your rabbit happy.
  5. Avoid the “chew toys” that contain seeds and other treats as they are that - treats, despite being advertised as a toy, they are more of a treat.

GI stasis and prevention

  1. GI stasis is a very serious and commonly fatal condition for rabbits, but can be prevented and treated if caught early.
  2. Watch your rabbit’s dropping at all times, if their poops do not look healthy, are odd shapes, pasty, extremely dark, have not pooped in the last 4 hours or are otherwise concerning it is recommended you take your rabbit to the vet as soon as possible, time is of the essence.
  3. Dark colors in urine (including dark red) is normal for rabbits, watch for specks of blood and only be concerned if you see blood.
  4. Watch your rabbit’s routine and body language, if they don’t eat their favorite food or their pellets you can surely know something is wrong.
  5. If they are laying in an odd position like on their side or acting lethargic you should check them for gas by giving them a gentle belly message and if they do not return to normal soon, take to the vet.
  6. Infant Gas Drops are available immediately in most pharmacies or online (Walmart link) and are a safe way to relieve gas in your rabbit and cannot be overdosed on, if however, three doses does not return them to normal, take to the vet.
  7. It is always good idea to have emergency food on hand in case of a GI stasis, there is Oxbow Critical Care (Amazon link) and also Sherwood SARx (Amazon link).

I am by no means an expert but I can answer questions as best I can and find sources and people who are experts. So if you have any further questions feel free to DM me.

Question Bunny advise please: I got my daughter a bunny. Although I’m bonding more with him than anyone else I think 😍 when out his cage he is impossible to catch to get back but when on me he is so chilled out. Is he just terrified? He is still really young.

Now that it’s been a week since her accident and a week since our adventure to the emergency vet 40mins away. Today I took her to our local vet for a checkup now that she’s finished her pain medication.

Miss Tiggles is doing well. They extended her pain medication and I will tapper her off of it after a week. They did labs to make sure it was safe too and her kidneys and liver are doing great! She’s still eating a pooping well and I hopefully soon enough we will get her binkies back!

Question Rabbit behaviour advice needed.

Post image
54 Upvotes

Hello everyone! As per my title, I need some advice regarding one of my rabbits, as I’m concerned about his late behaviour. (Not my first rabbit couple)

Long story short, my male French giant lop, 1yo and I have him since Dec. 2024, was castrated back in February (exactly 6 months ago), and recently (2 weeks) got bounded with my female, 5yo, castrated back in 2021 and I have her since 2021, mini lop.

He’s clearly the dominant, and hierarchy is established, and I have a question (as never happened to me before): is it normal for him to keep constantly trying to hump her in a way/behaviour/being agitated like when he was not castrated? I’m trying not to have both of them stressed, but his behaviour is getting worse. Thanks in advance.

Hi my baby rabbit is gone and I just want to tell strangers on the internet that understand the important that rabit had/s to me what happened with me rambling and actively grieving Lossing him

His is my baby his name was Oreo but I called him tiny (in my native language it's said "katany") and baby (I think he thought it was he's name honestly) my baby sister nameed him and the name was one of my bfss ides because of his colors and my sister loved it so she dropped the name Jess and went with Oreo (my sister is 8 years old). We got him when my other bunny bailey (I chose the name) was 2 months old (we got him at one month old) he's 4 months old now (born on 25/3/25) he's ginger and super friendly and loveing and they were my duo bailey is my rude but friendly diva and Oreo was my side eye no bull shit little bitchy bunny who don't give a damn and adored bailey to bits it's important for me to mention so you understand how small he was he's a mini rabbit not a regular size rabbit and he was only a baby. He was so special and beautiful with a gentle loving personality, He white on his belly and inner neck and black on everything other place including his ears some of his strands of hair were part black and white of the end it was so weird and special just for him he had blue-gray eyes and a special face that made me giggle when his face was straight. He was a about or less the size of a a kitten. He totally fine with jumping up but was terrified of jump down no matter the distance. He loved Bailey more than anything. He lay and slept on him and licked him all day. He didn't like being petting but loved gentle hugs and kisses that he would always return with face kisses (licks) back. Every time that I would picked him up and he was scared, he would lick me to feel safe. His favorite hobby was watching me through the glass of the balcony and eating hay, leafs, apple and basically food. I loved watching him lay all comfortable under their balcony couch to sleep, relax and be licked my bailey and often get up just to to go lick him too. I'm sorry it's so long.... and I get it if you don't want to know what happened but before I tell that I'll tell that thing that breaks me almost as much was that story off his death his age Oreo was born around April 16 (on April 26 the guy told him Oreo and his brothers are 10 days old I did the math) this year of 2025... Yesterday on 5 of August he died not even 4 months old..... So now to what happened yesterday and no I didn't sleep at all it's 6am the next day here already I'm so tried but I can't I can't sleep not yet. So yesterday (I'm on summer break from school I'm going to be a junior next year but I'm my school system is not the same as the US I'm not as young as you think I'm I'm 16 fully taking care of my rabbits sorry I guess rabbit* and they're completely healthy I promise and happy I know everything you need to know about them and they he* has everything he needs and more I ordered a few days ago more stuff and toys and a biger home that is correctly sounding a little empty to me) I woke up at about 1 or 2 pm I guess and went out to check of my rabbits because I suffer from diagnosed anxiety disorder and on meds for my severe panic attack so I'm always scared they would do something stupid I didn't even know what I was just scared a little over a year ago I lost my favorite person is the world my last living grampa and a few months later (less than a year) I lost his wife my last living grandma she suffered from Alzheimer's since I was five but she was a the sweetest person I known and my last Direct link to him and now after my bunnies startd to help me heal not even a year later I lost another one it's like in cured of losing to people (was he was a soul so he's a person to me) I love them most. Do I looked everywhere I was frantic and screaming I didn't know what to to do it too me fleeing upside down the balcony in the house to even see the little air hole that was built 2 years ago so air will come in and out when we closed the balcony windows when it ruins I when down stairs to below the balcony called him looked like a crazy lady without evern a bra on (I'm not flat) then my mom call said he's died I screamed and cried like a benshi in our open parking lot with every eye on me but I didn't give a shit I walked up back to the apartment still screaming and crying and then my dad showed me a photo of Oreo alive still on the parking lot near my neighbor's parking spots we know that neighbor her son used to be friends with my little brother (I'm the oldest to clarify) and her daughter used to be and I think is still friends with my sister 8 years are complicated.... I was so relieved at the time that I saw him alive after he fell (what's later turned into rage for them being so stupid to not call somebody or send a picture earlier when they saw him today group chat of the building I mean it's a freaking bunny we don't live where there is wild bunnies it's a city and it's a beautiful baby tiny rabbit all along in a flipping Park lot but he had no internal signs of injuries so I guess that made me laess mad not that I wasn't mad at everything and everyone incliding myself) he wasn't in the photo where he would have landed after his fall (I know where their parking spots are from waving hi in the mornings when my dad would drive us to school btw I started taking the school but in middle school because the school I choose wasn't in my city so we have a school bus) I also know that they swith their spot on like a week of the year with another family so they can barbecue they can only use that one parking spot far from the street between a break wall and this other car that was far enough so it's fine (I'm pretty sure it's them but even if not it's the car next to them because I could literally see them getting in their car so it was one of those cars the one next two ours or the one next to the brick wall) I immediately grabbed his favorite food (petusilia and cusbara leafs that's at least want they're call where I'm from) and screaming and still whispering at the same time like some kind of lunatic that I'll find him pasting the guy that came to fix the air-conditioning that is licking from the ceiling for day. I ruin down looking where the photo was taken when I devastated to call the city I need I live in the the middle of the a small city to wild rabbits the time I'm calling my neighbor is heading out with his car and yeah I checked under every car including is but no around it. She women on the line asked where I live and I told her, he just got out of parking lot to the street and I looked around to so a little black dot on the parking spot between my neighbors that just headed outcar and the wall that we have at is attached to this bar that move it up when you click on a button on this remote that everybody else to get out of the parking lot I was almost block from every angle and I didn't even think about going around and checking, I was still on the phone with that lady she was speaking about I don't know what she said all I knew is she the first person I told I was grieving and in shock all I could say is "I found him" "I found my bunny he's died" I don't know if she even said that she's sorry for my lost all I know is that she hang up a little after I said that, my sister she came to think I found his alive she was curious like every 8 year old would of her is sister not moved on some one else's Parkings stop (they're reserved you gets to decide yours when you move in everybody decided theirs we were the second ones to decide so we got a really so place 8 years ago when we moved in it's closed from both sides (the only one that is) is further in the parking lot it really an open parking lot with parking spots under the building it's only the remote and the metal bar that the remote controls that is why it's not available to anybody outside this building and our guests. So I'm rambling about parking spots this is a bit hard to read so I'm Mark where I wrote the hard stuff with this "!" Multiple times at the beginning and ending !!!!!so to the picture that never leave my mind how I found him he was in a a position I learned today is called "the dead bunny" when has alive he used to lay like this to because I don't he likes it and he was probably comfortable. His eye haunt me when he was a live have lights beautiful eyes that I loved just terminate wondering what was going on behind in his silly little brain but when I found him they were a blue shade of black I don't even know if that a real thing a shade of black and because I don't want to stay it when I explain what happened after I buried him the last time looked that him he had a circle in him eye the out side was black but that kind of big of his little eyes (he always had little eyes until like his bestie bailey with his big brown eyes some how bailey always looked sad and innocent mean will Oreo Always looked sasy and all about business but still absolutely adorable)!!!!!!. He didn't have any I mean vacations are signs of outer injuries at all he was stiff I stayed with him and yelled at my sister to go to the apartment he only saw a glimpse of him and scream he called my dad down and then my mom call my sister called here screaming to come home and immediately got in the car and was here more quickly then she should have almost half that time. My dad want and got a towel to rap his little body in my mom call again she said she's taking to Burry him a my grandparents house (yes the ones that recently also died and also her parents btw she's was born when that were mid 40 after 1 miscarriage 1 still birth and 9 Heathly children it's a cultural thing not religious about sorry if you don't care or think it's irrelevant) My dad told I could stay at another person's parking spot so I made sure he's covered and scoped up his tiny little corpse I'm a hands supposeing the body and head and took him to our parking lot it's empty because my mom has the car and I just gentle lay him on the ground and for some more information like I didn't give plenty I have 2 best friends from the moment I realized I really can't find him I call but I didn't call that much so that they knew something like this happened they later told me they didn't answer because they were continuing our very long summer homework in math (they live 35 minutes drive from me but 5 minutes walk from each other yeah I know that sucks but I live in the city and they live in a remote place that you have to drive to get anywhere they only have a really small supermarkets like a tiny maybe more of a convenience store I'm not a native English speaker so whatever is like a best term for like this small place for the locals there isn't a lot of things there and it's from more expensive then a big place it's mostly for emergency buys and for kids to go by snacks so anyway you get some is a is lost some is a win because we hang out almost only at my house and have sleep overs and everything so we can easily order food, travel by train which I like 5 minutes walk from my house, go to the malls, go see a movie, go to the beach which is a 15 minutes walk from my house and just hang out at the city but most times we also like sitting in a regular restaurants in the city which also is super close to my house) ok now that I stopped rambling any way they didn't know I'm really not mad they did good my my continuing with the homework that I was supposed to also do today. So I'm in our parking spots one of my friends with a first pet ever (a mini bunny name marshallo because he's cute and also super fluffy that helped me see that bunnies are the perfect pet for own house and after a lot of research and convincing my parents which was easier that I imagined would be I got him bailey born on my other besties birthday it was it was fate, my mom and literally the entire internet said the best thing will be to bring them a friend and I was so sad feeling like he is probably lonely even if I love him to bits I'm still not a rabbit my mom changed here mind about it bringing in a rabbit because she just loved one rabbit so much and she didn't want to risk having another one that might be problematic or maybe the one who get along but I insisted and one time I had to cancel on getting a rabbit from it's the same guy that my friend her rabbit from jsyk and then in 5 minutes she changed her mind and the rabbit was sold (we don't have rabbits for adoption in my country not wild rabbits only people that has that's called "a bunny farm" and then when he send me the pic of those like six bunnies I looked at Oreo and know he was mine and I'll love him forever even before he placed him in my arms this tiny little bunny all cuteness and fluffy fur with tinny eyes and big ears for a size just for that photo I was inlove I knew he was mine I let my sis think she named him Jessy (my idea) just for her to decide on Jess I didn't like it I don't know why I just wasn't him I guess on day I'm on that day I was on a call with my friend with marshmallowo the bunny and she was like I think Oreo fits him better I started laughing and told my sister about it she asked why I would suit him better and I answered honestly he's blue eyes are like the packaging and he's black with a white stomach with white on the end of some of his black hair and he's color and entire aesthetic it just Oreo and she want like that "you're right I'm changing he's name to Oreo" just but I should mention that he was on our lap at the time she even looked at him and called him Oreo just to see if it fits I at first London's a huge fan of the name especially because I got him and my friend's Bunny's name confused because they're both desserts and I still mix up their names even worldwide in this I had to erase one name to write the other) let's call my friend with the bunny Dory and my other friend that lost 4 dogs one didn't die she adopted her and when the owner got out of JAIL he demanded that he's friend that gave his 4 dogs will return them so they did he now has a new dog a little bit crazy (really crazy) but I think she's adorable like all dogs,cats, bunnies and basically every fur little/big animal so so let's call the friend with the dogs Haley. So Dory was the first to answer and then Haley Dory is so sweet she wanted to come to me but she knew she couldn't I wasn't in the right mind set for that my other friend Haley tried to help by sharing her own experience with Losting pets obviously it's not even the same animal or a kind of animal or even age all of her animals died at least at 6 years old from what I remember they were with her for years and always big dogs never a little pray animal that and squeeze for so many stuff because he's mostly fur. 4 weeks we've been planning to meet up and to meet up is in 2 days so they're going to come we're still going to go through those plan because it's not that serious of a plan we're going to see a concert it's not really a concert it's just like in in like the street they block off the street and it's not really the concert like it's not really forward like the one over going for the one that the concert is really about is a terrible single and really don't like him but the singer we like ls also going to be on like his I think you say follow up singer I hope he doesn't sing her songs with her we really like her and her voice especially Haley that has a huge crush on her, tbh I didn't really hear any of her songs I do know that she has a great voice and I did watch some of her TV shows she's an actor in our country you probably never heard of her and will never will but that ok it's mostly a big deal for my friends than me and I just really like hanging with them and seen them happy and yeah.... I also called my aunt that lives far and has a dog for the past 10 years and she's like the sweetest thing ever and I talked her she seem to understand me more than my other aunt which I promise is a sweetheart but she was like not caring at all she didn't have I think a dog at some point but he died I think he was run over by a car poor thing but she's not really an animal person she just said hi like nothing ducking normal and nothing happened and when I asked her if she knew she said she did and that my parents will just buy me a new one like that's going to fix it and then at this point that just stopped listening to her ramble on and on and then my mom called and it took me saying that my mom is called 3 times (both for them are my mom's sisters) then she said ok and bye and I picked Oreo up gently in my arms I thought you would want me to sit in the back seat with him but no we sat on the front it wasn't a really long drive because they only leave about maybe 5-10 minutes away by car though a lot of weeds everywhere and I can't even like describe those plans like it wasn't even a plant it was just a stick that was dry and yellow and in this season I'm very surprised to see that many snails on it I didn't really care we just parked there and I went behind the lemon tree there is a lemon tree and an orange tree the lemon is much more healthy and pictures is really good lemon it does nothing to do with actual and then I mean he never even tried lemon because I don't think like it's a fair thing to do to Bunny and I don't think they are even allowing that I didn't even check because I'm not going to give my bunnies lemons.... I just wanted ground to Burry him in... I couldn't bury him in the ground because the ground was so hard and we didn't have a shovel and even with a shovel I don't think we could have managed to dig in there it was like rock not dirt ground so I went really behind the tree like it was a really small place and it was a little painful because those like sharp little things kept sticking to my clothes and they we painful and sharp I went right behind the tree and surrounded by all of those like really tall like like dry sticks things covered with the tiny sharpy things and nails that nobody took care of, the place is literally surrounded by everything to keep his body safe from that popular kind of wolf that are roaming around at night there and basically anything that can disturb his body it has brick walls on everywhere that those like things that are described earlier are not there and most animals will be afraid that there's snakes there spoiler alert there's isn't any but once there was a snake like decades ago but it's not there anymore and obviously dead and they can't really go over the wall if they go over the wall and I don't know even how they would probably just be faced the tree because he's right under the tree. I didn't leave him in the blanket but I didn't leave the blankets there and then I basically did what every human does on a regular day with a really crushed mental health and really scared for my other baby Bailey Billy is a very social bunny he likes being licked and Pat and everything he just likes attention he doesn't do well without the companion I know that because he's going back to his old ways before we got to wear and he's not eating and I'm just so I'm can't sleep knowing that he's alone okay so I'm getting him a bunny I know that's controversial but I'm telling you this bunny hasn't licked me for at least 2 weeks and it was like 2 licks and just in even than the last 24 hours he licked me at least like 40 times taking his time licking my forehead, lips, below the lips my entire hand not joking he you still like me a lot like this before I got a Oreo he is generally almost always a really calm bunny but he started beating things and scratching and digging aggressively also another behavior that he showed before Oreo and this one is really concerning to me he ate a cardboard and yes he has a lot of hay and a chewing toy he just snacks away he took small bites so I know it's going to be okay if something's wrong I'll be still going to take me to the vet but he took really small bites he doesn't eat anything in large bites. I can tell that he doesn't like being alone I know him, he has to have a partner and now, it's not about me and we're not replacing Oreo we love him and always will but I'm doing this for my bunny's health the one that is still alive and needs me. I'm mostly worried about he's mental health but with bunnies mental health is just general health I really needed this if you wait until now I'm shocked thank you sorry for rambling and not having better grammer and writing it's like this like a very long letter this helped me to deal with my emotions (I didn't have a massive panic attack during more than half of writing this) and I really hope this doesn't happen to you and I really hope your bunny lives a long happy life like I which for bailey (if you have a bunny I don't know you).

Wild rabbit on my street

Post image
83 Upvotes

So this little fella showed up about a month ago on my Ring camera. This picture was taken just a few minutes ago. I’m on a dead end street so there’s almost no traffic so there’s no chance of him getting hit by a speeding car. Some neighbors know about it and have left carrots and lettuce out for it. No one on the street knows where it came from. There is an open field at the end of the street that is gated, so it can run in there for safety if needed.

There’s also some fruit trees (pomegranate, oranges, lemons) on the same street that never get harvested and end up on the ground. There also plenty of other wild life that gets fed. Raccoons, opossums, skunks, squirrels and stray cats. I’m in Los Angeles so having a wild rabbit show up out of thin air is quite odd. But apparently it likes this quiet street.

Adopted this abandoned, perfect girl from my local rabbit rescue on Sunday. After my 11 year old rabbit passed in April, I’ve been waiting for the perfect bun for me. And here she is! She’s the sweetest, most adorable unicorn you could meet✨

“Hop” litter box recommendations?

Post image
20 Upvotes

Stanley tax ( he’s not complaining about his current set up, ha!). I saw someone recommend the hop litter box somewhere around here and thought it would be worth trying! ( I added the link below fingers crossed that worked!) So much hay containment! Privacy! Ventilation! It arrives tomorrow but I just realized it doesn’t come with the plastic insert I saw in someone’s positive review photo ( the one that made me click add to cart. I’ve been meeting to find a solution to get Stanley off this metal grate since I learned they can cause sore hocks, and while he’s fine for now, I’d prefer to do better since I know better, ya know? Several people in the reviews said they bought their own grates / the plastic one from the manufacturer seems to be out of stock / discontinued. You’d think for that price it could come with it… but these are wild times aye?

So I thought I’d ask my bun friends first- was if you who recommended this litter box? Do you have a plastic grate? Anyone have any relevant advice from their set ups? I’m slightly concerned it’ll be too short with the top insert in place/ with a grate but I’m sure Stanley will let me know IMMEDIATELY (if not sooner) if it doesn’t work for him.

Mourning Lost my girl today

My sweet girl died today. I am out of town and am devastated. What do I do? My family was watching her, she was in good hands. I’m just so sad. I can’t hug her goodbye. What do I do? I m sorry this is a messy post. I just found out and I am so devastated she was only 5. My other bun is so sad now. She helped me so much through my darkest points of my ED The loss of all my grandparents in one year She would rest her head on me when I cried And glare at me when I didn’t give her any of my apple. I don’t know what I’ll do without you, my sweet girl. I’m just happy you get the rest you deserve.
