Straw doesn't have the nutrational value like hay, so it's a lot of roughage that needs to be chewed.
Imo, that's a good thing. Your rabbits wont starve, they evolved on a pretty meager diet....

As as been said, best let a vet have a look at it.

From the behaviour I would guess you've got 2 males there. Anyway, I too would seperate now. Are they neutered (and for how long now, it can...

Does anyone actually KNOW that something bad is happening, or is this mostly projecting feelings? Rabbits can get along with quite some different animals, and some people go so far to even put them...

Hi, I can highly recommend
www.rabbittalk.com
for topics like this :). Great site.

I'm just glad Dotty is such a patient girl, Yet-To-Be-Named, my new house buck since December, is following her around trying to hump her every day, also, i need to mop up almost every day since he...

Well, doesn't look like I'm the kind of person to aim questions about cages at, did it anyway. I love grazing my rabbits on the meadow, outside the fence, they are outside during daytime anyway if...

I got baby socks from a coworker, worked really well with those rubber traction spots, but it was 10lbs rabbit. Before i had those socks I followed my vets advice and covered all my houses floores...

I just use a little pellets so they eat all of it (his cuddlebun gets the same amount in her own dish at the same time), like about a heaped teaspoon (9 lbs rabbits), with a pinch of oatmeal, in a...

"The mean medicine lady"?

My boy has athrosis in the hip and I give him his Meloxamin and whatever medicine on a little soaked pellets, mixed with a little oatmeal and some drops of sunflower seed...

Gosh, am I happy to live close to the Balkan - why would a council have any say about what I do with my waste hay etc. as long as no neighbours are bothered?
Putting a valuable resource into the...

I dry leaves as crunchy treats, i would think that they will spoil if you keep them wet in stale air, it's perfect conditions for mold.

I use a wood slat floor, with those cheap 65 liter concrete mixing tubs underneith.

I have two indoor rabbits, and I fostered 3 different dogs over the years, for days or weeks. Rabbits are free roam, and I take over the dogs at the gate, introduce them to the house, their place...

Can't say that. I bought good mesh for about 125€, 1m high, 25 meters long, 19x19x1,4mm, overkill for a run but I needed something for the hutch. Don't need to buy wood since I recycle pallets into...

Actually, more protein rich food does makes some sense for big breeds. The digestion system didn't quite scale up when those breeds were created.

Maybe, maybe not. It's more a probability than a strict rule, I've seen nests built weeks in advance. And then one at the right time.

Age doesn't rule out a pregnancy either, the youngest of my...

I try to establish goutweed in shady spots, my rabbits love it.

From physics, white is better at shielding heat radiation than darker colours.

It also explains why a lot of treat holding fingers get bitten :D




Some things are easily explained, like, all directions you can only see one bunny eye from are 2D only, for depht perception...

I've seen something like that. In my case it happend during molt season, and obviously it was too much ingested fur that caused problems. Sometimes it resolved itself before I geared up into panic...

I would call most of those mixed foods I saw at the pet shop as clever waste disposal, with cheap cheap fillers. Even really bad stuff, like whole corn kernels, advertised as healthy.


Sure,...

I use wood stove pellets, topped with some hay. They are very absorbant and good in odor control, and pretty cheap. The hay rack is right there, so there's always a rather fresh layer of hay.

Hm, I was pretty sure that raw green beans are somewhat toxic, at least for humans. I guess the concentration isn't high enough in green beans to harm a rabbit if fed in moderation - or can rabbits...

My motivation to get them into their hutches in the night is safety, since we have foxes and marten here. If you have similiar thoughts, that's what I would do:

First remove what makes the hutch a...

Regarding getting exited and spraying, my (intact) buck doesn't care any if the doe is spayed or not, and he is close to unbearable right now too, up to the point that I consider him getting neutered...
