Noone knowing an answer is going to find this very specific question hidden here in an old thread with a different topic. Best start a new thread, with a title like "Wayfair Sheds for rabbits - experiences?" :)

What dose is this? My vet used an outdated handbook that said 0,1-0,3mg/kg, but that's below the therapeutic range and didn't work. I started to see results at 0,4mg/kg and went up to 0,6.

It's sometimes wiered to what they react. None of my rabbits ever cared much about noise, chopping wood, working with the chainsaw, dropping a pan - doesn't matter. Pacino is from a completly different line, has some angora in him, and different behaviour. He's ok with fireworks and such, but...

That boy brings a smile on my face, which is worth so much these days :)

My sweet, little, pigheaded black Fury died on May 8th, 11 years old. She was my very first rabbit and I learned so much from her. So much attitude in such a little bundle. Two days ago I had to bury Chantal, a quirky girl, great digger and escape artist, well known in my neighbourhood from me...

More likely it was just the alcohol. You would need to stuff a rabbit with A LOT of appleseeds to get an effect from the cyanide, like enough to make them explode first ;). I would think it doesn't take much to make souch a small animal tipsy, estimated from what it takes me to get there that...

How warm is it in your home, and how cold outside? Rabbits aren't easily bothered by cold, if it's not below freezing I wouldn't worry much, they'll do fine. It's just been 2 weeks anyway. reducing heating for a few days sure doesn't hurt. I once had a rabbit in inside quarentine from August...

Well, now I've got one more buck than I planned for... A meat breeder down the road, old guy, didn't latch his hutches properly weeks ago, whole litter escaped (idiot didn't tell me), one day on my way to the train station I noticed a small rabbit in the bushes. Took me 3 days to build enough...

I just use wood from old pallets, as long as they are untreated they are safe. Most pallets are marked with what kind of treatment they got "HT", heat treated, is safe. Actually haven't seen anything else. If I do not want them to chew a certain part I paint it with diluted rabbit urine, they...

Hm, I just got my 5yo Chantal treated for EC, first was a 5 day course of daily antibiotica injections (sorry, don't know which one it was) and fluids, which had immediate effects and was stopped once no improvement could be seen from one day to the next. I think i should have continued a few...

Also, keep him moving. The first thing i do when I notice something is off like that are belly massages, I put the rabbit on my knee/leg, facing me, and rock the whole rabbit. i can see if that eases the pain. Or I make them hop for a minute now and then, motion helps to keep things moving...

No way a 5lb bunny would swallow a 1/2" screw. Dogs are another matter, but rabbits carefully chew everything.

I just start to feed greens when the first leafs of grass or stuff like chickweeed can be found, with small amounts, and fade out veggies and hay (still offered but ignored) when enough forage is available, never a problem. I wouldn't think the protein was the culprit there, but too much of...

To a foreigner that sounds so wiered. This is a private organization, right? What kind of athority do they have, how can they tell you anything? I would not let them on my property. Not without police in tow, and than only a official state authority and not a private organisation. My animals...

Over the years I took in three dogs from friends and colleagues for days or weeks, never was a problem with my two free roam 10lbs house bunnies. But it really depends on the dog, I'm not sure I could trust one with a strong hunting drive. After a day or so the rabbits got used to the new room...
