I think I remember seeing somewhere that certain types of wood are poisonous to rabbits. What type of wood should I look for when buying chew toys for Flash? Any lists of all woods that are ok or not would be great. --Fromper

I just found this site and I'm already addicted. We're going to the shelter tomorrow and hoping to bring home a beautiful Flemish Giant who it up for adoption there. These forums have such great information for a first time bunny owner. If anyone has any good name suggestions I'm open to...

It's always neat to show and share ideas for house rabbit homes and play areas, so I thought I would start a thread where we can all post pictures of our bunny set-ups. Anyways, here are mine... :) I have 9 rabbits, half of them are foster bunnies. My adopted 4 have 6x4 pens. This is Baby &...

I found a stray bunny Tuesday night. He (She?) is obviously domesticated, and I'm probably going to end up keeping the little critter, since I've already put out the word in my neighborhood, and I can't find anyone who's looking for a lost bunny. He's pretty happy in my apartment so far...

Do they really live shorter lives? If so, why? That doesn't really make sense. And should I get my female spayed even though she will probably never come in contact with another male bunny in her life?

yea, my mom found a gray baby bunny rabbit. i was able to pick it up and comfort it into a cage we had in the garage. i already own a rat and a guinea pig so i have some idea of what to do, but I've never owned a rabbit. my mom says it may be someone else's which is possible, but until we find...

A few days ago, I noticed some growth on the tip of my rabbit's nose.:( It feels hard, rough, and dry to the touch. Here are some pics of the growth: Aside from this growth, I have not observed anything else unusual about him. I know that the obvious thing to do is to have him checked out...

I'm going on a 3-week trip to Europe this May, and have yet to find a temporary caretaker for my bunnies. It seems to be hard to find someone I know who is willing to take two rabbits in, even for a short amount of time. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of shelters or would volunteer or charge...

I need to get Mopsy neutered but when I have been looking at websites I keep reading about how there are so many vets out there that will sterilize rabbits but not really know what they are doing. If any of you here are from Mass, could you suggest a good vet. Or even a bad one that I should...

Somebody told me she just brought the rabbits to the corner of the Super Wal*Mart (i see a lot of people do that selling puppies) and she got rid of her bunnies in like 15 mins.. She had a gate thing to keep them in and everything. I might try that, but does anybody else have any ideas. I asked...

I know that microchips are common in dogs and cats, but what about small animals like rabbits? Does anyone here have their rabbit microchipped? I'm just wondering because I do take my rabbits outside once in awhile (on their harnesses) so I'm going to buy them each a tag to put on their...
