Would a dog crate be okay to use as a rabbit cage?
The crate is 42L x 26W x 28H. I plan on putting a shelf in the cage for my bunny to jump on too. Also, my bunny isn't going to be in the cage all day either. She gets at least 4-6 hours a day to run freely around my room. :]
Here is a link to the crate:

Thanks.Would a dog crate be okay to use as a rabbit cage?
Well, the dog cage is really big for the average size of a bunny, i don't see why it would be so bad to keep the bunny is that big cage, the bunny will have more comfort space and feel less ';squeezed'; in the cage. just make sure that the dog cages bars are small enough for the rabbit to not escape. When your doing that remember that rabbits are very flexible and if the cage's bars barely hold in the rabbit, you'll be better off with a normal rabbit cage. You still have to give the rabbit all the things you normally get with a rabbit cage. I know mostly all the people would tell you that that is a bad idea to use the dog cage, but it will be smart of you to use the dog cage.Would a dog crate be okay to use as a rabbit cage?
No.I have a baby boy rabbit,it is not ok.But i can help you to find a cheap,complete rabbit kit with cage.It includes,bedding,toys,food,treats and a water bottle.Go to ebay or amazon and search ';my super pet'; bunny kit. I assure you,if you can't find it there,it will be at a local pet-shop.
My teacher, a vet, uses those for a couple of her rabbits. I know most people are going to tell you not to though. Really I don't see what's wrong with it. That dog crate is much larger than most rabbit cages on the market,
WOW! I would get it if I had a rabbit, it looks big enough; way bigger then the cages I've seen for rabbits! :D Plus if you rabbit is getting 4-6 hours of free time to roam around, I think it would be fine!
well just get a bunny cage and that cage will not work

How much food do you have to feed a 1 year old or 3 year old rabbit?
i am getting a rabbit that is 3 or 1 years old. how many times do i have to feed it a day?How much food do you have to feed a 1 year old or 3 year old rabbit?
Feed them once a day. Give them as much food as they will eat. If it gets excericise you won't have to worry about it getting so fat it's unhealthy. Believe it or not if you have a tree in your yard ( with no poison ivy or anything) get a little branch with just a couple of leaves on it and put it in the bunnies pen. They love to eat the branch ( which is very good for their teeth) and they like the leaves too. Bunnies eat about any fruit and veggie offered to them. Some rabbits are a lot more picky than others. I have 2 rabbits that eat any veggie or fruit pretty much. Wubby on the other side doesn't like much at all. P.s. I have figured out that a popular food seems to be dandelion. Oh, they love it. The leaves and the flower.( dandelion is also really good for a bunny with pneomonia) Hope I helped!! How much food do you have to feed a 1 year old or 3 year old rabbit?
A general guideline for a rabbit diet is
- a serving of hay as big as their body
- a serving of vegetables as big as their head
- a serving of pellets (timothy-based) as big as their ears
- a serving of treats (fruits) as big as their tail
As for timing/portions, whatever is good for you is a good method.
Just try to keep it consistence from day to day.
My rabbit gets fed twice a day. In the morning he gets 1/4 cup of pellets and a 'bunny salad' and the same in the evening. And he has hay 24/7. Plus his treat usually a grape or something in the middle of the day and before bed.pores

I think my rabbit has something in her ear?
My rabbit has redish crusty stuff in her ear it looks liks scabs. It hurts her for the ear to be touched. She is an indoor rabbit, and dosen't go outside often. I found some gnats in her food pellets and threw away the pellets immediately. This was either yesterday or two days ago. What could it be? Mites? or something else? How can I cure it without hurting my rabbit?I think my rabbit has something in her ear?
OMG OMG... yes!!!! It is ear mites and should be treated by a veterinarian ASAP!!! Run, do not walk to your vet. A rabbit can lose his/her hearing, the mites can invade the brain, the ears can need to be amputated and/or death if it does not get treated. The rabbit should be on Baytril antibiotic (have the vet give it a good shot of it at the office and take home the liquid), the vet will clean its ears of the mites (which is VERY painful for the Bun), you should give the bun plain yogurt twice a day once you get it back home and it is VERY contagious to ALL other pets you may have in the home. Also make sure to wash your hands thoroughly when treating the bun. You don't want to get sick either.I think my rabbit has something in her ear?
It could be mites. Take him to the vet asap because it could get infected and that would be very bad.
It could be many things...mites is one thing that comes to mind. Here is link to information about skin diseases in rabbits:

Can you use rabbit pellets in the bottom of a iguanas tank?
we heard that you can put rabbit pellets in the bottom of your iguana's tank for the bedding instead of newspaper ?Can you use rabbit pellets in the bottom of a iguanas tank?
If you've already got an iguana don't you think you should know this already?
Buy a copy of 'iguanas for dummies', it's a very good book.
I wouldn't use a hot rock as they can heat up too much and burn the lizard.Can you use rabbit pellets in the bottom of a iguanas tank?
Hot rocks are not recommended. Iguanas regulate their heat from above. They will basically sit on a hot rock until they have serious burns because they are waiting for their back to become warm.
You should be misting the enclosure to provide a more naturally humid environment for your iguana, this will cause the rabbit pellets to break down to dust and grow mould. Better to stick to newspaper or one of the reptile safe bark mulches like cypress.
I have used rabbit pellets with many reptiles including iguanas. It is composed mainly of alfalfa, which is not only safe if ingested but can be feed regularly to an iguana.
There are a verity of substrates you can use - coconut fiber/husk, potting soil ( without perlite), aspen and cypress shaving/mulch/bark, repta-bark products, outdoor/reptile carpeting.
Heat rocks can cause severe burns,so not recommended. You can provide heat throughlightss, under tank heaters and specialty reptile heating platforms, with a combination usually working best. Be sure to use a thermoregulator to allow for better control over the temperature. The heated area does need to be large enough for the entire reptile to bask.
This site has a lot of information on iguana care.
http://www.greenigsociety.org/careinfo.h鈥?/a>
Rabbit pellets aren't the greatest to use because when you spray your tank/enclosure they become very soiled, which then cleaning doesn't make fun.
The EASIEST floor covering to use is newspaper or paper towels, just change daily when you clean the tank. A lot of floor coverings can in time cause blockage for your iguana which will then mean surgery or death.
Floor covering:
BAD floor covering: bark, dirt, moss, sand, pellets, coconut fiber are all bad ... at some point your iguana will try and lick swallow and then possibly cause blockage which will then need to be surgically removed or possibly death ... SAFE floor covering: newspaper (unprinted), paper towels, towels, vinyl flooring, indoor/outdoor carpeting - if you have any lose fibers from the carpeting or the towels please remove and replace - unprinted newspaper if you possibly can use is safer just in case your ig likes to try and eat the newspaper some ink may contain soy
http://www.greenigsociety.org/accessorie鈥?/a>
Heating rocks are BAD they can cause major underbelly burns. Iguanas do not feel the heat from there bellys so they will sit there and not know that its burning. You can use the heat rock ONLY IF you remove the cord. Using a rock from outside (cleaned) and placed under heat (basking light) will warm up.

When do i know when to take the male out of the cage when the girl rabbit is pregnant?
i saw my buck rabbit doing it with my doe about 2-3 weeks ago and now she is pulling her fur out in the run not in the cage and hasnt started to make a nest yet but i can see her tummy bulging so when do i need to start taking the buck out?When do i know when to take the male out of the cage when the girl rabbit is pregnant?
Now! You were meant to take him out the day you bred them after a couple of hours but it doesn't matter now, does it?
It seems like the deed has been done and she is definitely pregnant. She should have kittens in one week, avoid picking her up much and increase her food by 25%.
Hope I helped!

Why is my rabbit shedding so much?
my rabbit is about a year and few months old. a few months ago he was shedding a bit and had a bald spot with the hair grown back. now he's shedding a lot more then before and the spot is clean and part greenish. is he molting or is this just normal?Why is my rabbit shedding so much?
most rabbits molt 2x a year but some rabbits have a damage gene which causes them to shed ALL the time. the damaged gene was caused by inbreeding and theres really nothing that can be done about it.
just brush your bunn out and he should be fine. if he starts lossing his fur to were you see his skin you should take him to a vet and make sure he doesn't have mites or behavior problemsWhy is my rabbit shedding so much?
There are a couple of reasons for this.
1. There is a hormone in-balance which is causing your rabbit to moult heavily.
2. He could be suffering from the skin surface mite (Cheyletiella) which comes up as a mild dermatitis with mild red patches and will need treating with a mite injection by your vet
If you take your rabbit to the vet they can do a skin scraping and blood tests to determine the cause in the above cases.
3.Another reason for constant moulting is wrong living conditions caused by stress or by over heating.
If your rabbit lives indoors, central heating can cause stress and heavy un natural moulting.
In this case move the housing to a more suitable area away from central heating and at normal body temperature.
Its probably normal if this isn't the first time its happened but I would watch it carefully and make sure that your rabbit is just shedding and not pulling out the fur in that area. He could have like mites or some kind of skin parasite. But most likely he is just shedding with the changing of the seasons thats what mine do.
Sounds like a molt to me. I got really anxious the first time my rabbit did this too - the longer coat was shedding and leaving the short, darker undercoat in large patches on his sides. It's completely normal though.
he will be molting :) my rabbit did this he might be goin into his winter fur which makes him shed and get thicker fur
hope it make you stop worrying
:) xx
Yes as simple as that.
i think he may be molting. my rabbit is like this at the moment
My rabbit sheds with the changing of the seasons.... yours probably does too.pores

Which breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
Why breed more cross bred rabbits
The following was compiled by me to give more help to new rabbit owners and I exhibit rex, dutch, harlequins, magpies and dwarf lop rabbits, also ferrets and ferret cross European polecat hybrids, I got my first pet ferret and pet rabbit over 50+ years ago, when I was a small child.
History ... Dutch rabbits, along with the English, were the most popular pet and exhibition rabbits a position that has now been filled by the Lop breeds. Originally from Holland or Belgium, the breed is striking in its appearance with a white blaze carrying up to a point between the ears, a saddle of colour continuing right around the middle of the rabbit with a straight edge and white markings on the hind feet. Their coat should be glossy and they are a medium size rabbit weighing 2.04 -2. 26 kg (4.5 lb. 5 lb.).
Behaviour of all rabbits ... Dutch rabbits are very lively and alert and should make good pets although a prospective owner should be looking for a breeder that handles the rabbits regularly from a young age so that the rabbit is not too jumpy. Colours Black, Blue, Chocolate, Yellow, Tortoiseshell, Steel Grey, Brown Grey, Pale Grey and Tri Colour By using body language rabbits can stamp their feet or with a flash of a tail they can be seen and heard by other rabbits over a long distance.
Feeding ... Rabbits require a high fibre with lots of low quality hay (dried grass) or straw and low protein feed to prevent digestive problems, all rabbits do better on a poor quality hay than on a better quality hay such as timothy hay. Use rabbit pellets which can be purchased from pet shops to provide all your rabbits dietary needs and along with the following. Vegetables:
Artichoke leaves and Jerrusalem leaves, stems and tubers, Asparagus, Baby Sweetcorns and full size ones, Beetroot, Broccoli (and its leaves, including purple sprouting varieties), Brussel Sprouts (leaves and sprouts), Cabbage (can sometimes cause digestive upsets), Carrots (and carrot tops), Cauliflower (and the leaves), Celeriac, Celery (and its leaves), Chicory (in small amounts as this is a diretic), Courgette ( also leaves and flowers), Cucumber ( also leaves and flowers), Curly Kale (Excerlent for winter use), Fennel, Green beans (including leaves and stems), Kohl rabi, Parsnip, Peas (including the leaves and pods), Peppers (red, green and yellow), Pumpkin ( also leaves and flowers), Radish Tops, Rocket, Romaine (and all other lettuce as this is a diretic), Spinach (only occasional), Spring Greens, Squash (e.g. Butternut, leaves and flowers), Swede (Excerlent for winter use), Turnip (only occasional), Watercress.
Herbs (often powerful tastes so may take some getting used to): Basil, Coriander, Dill, Mint (peppermint), Parsley, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme.
Fruits (should be fed in moderation, due to sugar content): all types of fresh fruit including skin Apple, Apricot, Banana (high in potassium),Blackberries (and leaves 鈥?excellent astringent properties), Blueberries,Cherries, Grapes, Kiwi Fruit, Melon, Mango, Nectarines, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Plums, Strawberries, Raspberries (and leaves 鈥?excellent astringent properties), Tomatoes (not the leaves)
Wild Garden Herbs/Weeds/Flowers: Borage, Calendula, Camomile, Chickweed ( in small amounts as this is a diretic), Clover (leaves and flowers), Coltsfoot, Comfrey, Dandelion (in small amounts as this is a diretic), Goosegrass (cleavers) but may stick to coat!, Lavender, Mallow, Nettle (the type with the white flowers), Nasturtium (leaves and flowers), Shepherd's purse, Sow Thistle, Plantain, Yarrow.
Extra vitamins and salt licks are not required. Any changes in diet must be made slowly (green stuffs and prepared feeds) over a period of a couple of weeks, to avoid digestive upsets. Fresh water must be available at all times and renewed daily. To enable your rabbit to extract as much protein, vitamins and minerals from their low quality food, they digest their food twice, these are soft, kidney shaped droppings which are covered in a small amount of mucous. These droppings are very different from the dry round droppings that you will usually see your rabbit passing. Rabbits are herbivorous and wild rabbits will spend most of their lives grazing on grass, foliage, flowers and roots
Rabbits living indoor will drink more water than rabbits living out of doors because of the dryer atmosphere
Housing ... For first time rabbit owner once you get home with your rabbit, put it in your cage and leave it for 48 house so that it can get used to its new surroundings before you start handling it, if you start to handle it too early you could end up with a very grumpy young rabbit from the start.
Rabbits can be kept indoors or outdoors, either way they need their own space in an appropriate cage or hutch. There are many purpose built cages and hutches available, alternatively you could build your own. It is recommended that you purchase the best quality you can afford, your rabbit will need it for 7--12 years. Make sure that the hutch is large enough for your rabbit to stretch full out, and high enough for your rabbit to stand upright. Dutch rabbits are generally comfortable in a 4' x 2' hutch. If kept outdoors, the hutch should have a dark enclosed area to provide your rabbit with a quiet space. The main living area should be large enough for your rabbit to stretch full out, and have wire mesh on the door. The hutch should be at least 6'; off the floor to provide adequate ventilation. In the winter you can move your rabbits indoors or into a shed. They are also quite happy remaining out of doors, providing extra protection such as an old blanket draped over the front of the hutch at night in very cold weather. Remember rabbits need good ventilation, you can not therefore leave the cover down permanently otherwise your rabbit will succumb to chest infections from the damp, ammonia or overheating, and rabbits die from all of these.
Rabbits are naturally very clean animals and will only defecate and urinate in one area.
Bedding ... Hay, straw and wood chips all make suitable bedding for rabbits. It is down to personal choice which you use, however, research has shown that rabbits will choose straw rather than wood chip or wire bottomed cages. All bedding should be renewed at least once a week, and the hutch should be washed, scrubbed and disinfected several times per year.
Rabbits can live out doors quite happily at minus 20c or below, all they need is plenty of bedding and a 4 inch layer of shavings
Exercise ... Rabbits need regular stimulation and exercise in a safe environment. This can be in a purpose made rabbit run or simply by bringing your rabbit indoors and letting it play in your living room. Rabbits that are playing outside of their hutches, either in a run or indoors, should be supervised at all times and their play area must be 'rabbit proofed' by removing any hazards. Young rabbits will enjoy exercise, but be careful not to over do it, particularly if you are still in the 'getting to know each other' period.
Rabbits are sociable creatures and enjoy the company of humans, dogs, cats and other rabbits if carefully introduced. It is generally suggested that each rabbit has its own hutch (particularly if you intend to show it) as rabbits are like children and prefer not to share 'bedrooms'. They can, however, socialise together in common space, such as rabbit runs, and will like being able to see and hear another rabbit when they are in their own hutches. 2 bucks must never be put together even in a run if they have not been castrated (they will fight).
Rabbits need to be occupied and they love playing with toys. This can include manufactured toys for human babies, birds, cats, dogs, hamsters etc. But rabbits will equally get hours of enjoyment from some very cheap, readily available items in the household, blocks of wood, planks, plastic flower pots. Rabbits can get exercise by taking them out on a harness and lead, but the problem with this is that rabbits can pick up diseases and fleas left on the grass by other rabbits, if their vaccinations are up to date they should not get any of the diseases but they will still pick up fleas.
Rabbits left to run around the home while the householder is out will chew wires, electric leads and furniture, these pets should be put in a pen or hutch while the householders are not at home.
Health ... It is recommend that you get your rabbit covered by Pet Insurance as veterinary fees can mount up. Never leave a rabbit in the sole care of a child. As an adult you will have to assume sole responsibility for the health and welfare of your child's rabbit.
To prevent territorial behaviour of both bucks (males) and does (females), it is suggested that pet rabbits are neutered, if they are not neutered then it should be one rabbit per cage. I don't see altering as cruel when the kits may be dead in a year anyway; either through being ';released'; into the wild'; or being slaughtered in a shelter when the owners have got bored of them.
Never put intact cavies / guinea-pigs in with intact rabbits as they will both sexually abuse each other, cavies / guinea- pigs should be housed with others of the same species. Males can be neutered at around 3-4 months, and does at 6 months. Females over 2-3 years old that are not being regularly bred from are at high risk of developing uterine cancer unless neutered.
Rabbits have little ability to regulate their body temperature and die very easily from heat stroke. Ensure adequate shade is provided at all times. Handle your rabbit daily, and it will generally enjoy your company. Never pick a rabbit up by its ears, and always support your rabbits back and hind quarters when handling. RaWhich breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
First off, let me state that as a rabbit breeder of PUREBRED pedigreed rabbits, cross breeding IS NOT advisable unless you have purpose for developing a new breed. And at that point, there is many of years to go into establishing a new recognized breed of rabbit and there isn't much need for it when there are already 47 recognized breeds of rabbit with the American Rabbit Breeders Association to choose from, with several more that are still in the presentation process for approval after years of breeding for perfection.
Now, are you actually saying the breed of rabbit that is known as a Chinchilla, or that other animal that is a Chinchilla?
If you mean the rabbit, then which breed of Chinchilla...there are three...Giant Chinchilla, American Chinchilla and Standard Chinchilla. The first two are substantially larger than the Dutch breed, and this would be cruel to put a rabbit through the pregnancy and birthing of the two extremely different genetics of size between these two. The Standard Chin would actually be more to the size of the Dutch and if you are saying you want to breed these two, then again, I would say DON'T since we haven't a need for a Chinchilla Dutch rabbit mix. If you want a Dutch rabbit with that chinchilla color, then it is already out there in the rabbit world with breeders that you can buy from.
Otherwise, you get a MUTT. A Mix breed. A Heinz 57. There are no actual names for rabbits that are Mix breed other than just that, mixed breeds.Which breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
LOL, that like asking to cross a dog with a cat, absolutely impossible!
chindutchachilla
You would get a cross breed chinchilla or a cross bred dutch,the markings and variety all depending how strong the genetics are in both breeds.
your mom
A mix.
wow im not sure, never done that before i bred mini lops and lion lops, would it work? i dont no, if it did work maybe you would have trouble getting rid of the bunnys as they are not full breeds,
It is not a breed it is just a ';mutt'; or crossbreed.
The following was compiled by me to give more help to new rabbit owners and I exhibit rex, dutch, harlequins, magpies and dwarf lop rabbits, also ferrets and ferret cross European polecat hybrids, I got my first pet ferret and pet rabbit over 50+ years ago, when I was a small child.
History ... Dutch rabbits, along with the English, were the most popular pet and exhibition rabbits a position that has now been filled by the Lop breeds. Originally from Holland or Belgium, the breed is striking in its appearance with a white blaze carrying up to a point between the ears, a saddle of colour continuing right around the middle of the rabbit with a straight edge and white markings on the hind feet. Their coat should be glossy and they are a medium size rabbit weighing 2.04 -2. 26 kg (4.5 lb. 5 lb.).
Behaviour of all rabbits ... Dutch rabbits are very lively and alert and should make good pets although a prospective owner should be looking for a breeder that handles the rabbits regularly from a young age so that the rabbit is not too jumpy. Colours Black, Blue, Chocolate, Yellow, Tortoiseshell, Steel Grey, Brown Grey, Pale Grey and Tri Colour By using body language rabbits can stamp their feet or with a flash of a tail they can be seen and heard by other rabbits over a long distance.
Feeding ... Rabbits require a high fibre with lots of low quality hay (dried grass) or straw and low protein feed to prevent digestive problems, all rabbits do better on a poor quality hay than on a better quality hay such as timothy hay. Use rabbit pellets which can be purchased from pet shops to provide all your rabbits dietary needs and along with the following. Vegetables:
Artichoke leaves and Jerrusalem leaves, stems and tubers, Asparagus, Baby Sweetcorns and full size ones, Beetroot, Broccoli (and its leaves, including purple sprouting varieties), Brussel Sprouts (leaves and sprouts), Cabbage (can sometimes cause digestive upsets), Carrots (and carrot tops), Cauliflower (and the leaves), Celeriac, Celery (and its leaves), Chicory (in small amounts as this is a diretic), Courgette ( also leaves and flowers), Cucumber ( also leaves and flowers), Curly Kale (Excerlent for winter use), Fennel, Green beans (including leaves and stems), Kohl rabi, Parsnip, Peas (including the leaves and pods), Peppers (red, green and yellow), Pumpkin ( also leaves and flowers), Radish Tops, Rocket, Romaine (and all other lettuce as this is a diretic), Spinach (only occasional), Spring Greens, Squash (e.g. Butternut, leaves and flowers), Swede (Excerlent for winter use), Turnip (only occasional), Watercress.
Herbs (often powerful tastes so may take some getting used to): Basil, Coriander, Dill, Mint (peppermint), Parsley, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme.
Fruits (should be fed in moderation, due to sugar content): all types of fresh fruit including skin Apple, Apricot, Banana (high in potassium),Blackberries (and leaves 鈥?excellent astringent properties), Blueberries,Cherries, Grapes, Kiwi Fruit, Melon, Mango, Nectarines, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Plums, Strawberries, Raspberries (and leaves 鈥?excellent astringent properties), Tomatoes (not the leaves)
Wild Garden Herbs/Weeds/Flowers: Borage, Calendula, Camomile, Chickweed ( in small amounts as this is a diretic), Clover (leaves and flowers), Coltsfoot, Comfrey, Dandelion (in small amounts as this is a diretic), Goosegrass (cleavers) but may stick to coat!, Lavender, Mallow, Nettle (the type with the white flowers), Nasturtium (leaves and flowers), Shepherd's purse, Sow Thistle, Plantain, Yarrow.
Extra vitamins and salt licks are not required. Any changes in diet must be made slowly (green stuffs and prepared feeds) over a period of a couple of weeks, to avoid digestive upsets. Fresh water must be available at all times and renewed daily. To enable your rabbit to extract as much protein, vitamins and minerals from their low quality food, they digest their food twice, these are soft, kidney shaped droppings which are covered in a small amount of mucous. These droppings are very different from the dry round droppings that you will usually see your rabbit passing. Rabbits are herbivorous and wild rabbits will spend most of their lives grazing on grass, foliage, flowers and roots
Rabbits living indoor will drink more water than rabbits living out of doors because of the dryer atmosphere
Housing ... For first time rabbit owner once you get home with your rabbit, put it in your cage and leave it for 48 house so that it can get used to its new surroundings before you start handling it, if you start to handle it too early you could end up with a very grumpy young rabbit from the start.
Rabbits can be kept indoors or outdoors, either way they need their own space in an appropriate cage or hutch. There are many purpose built cages and hutches available, alternatively you could build your own. It is recommended that you purchase the best quality you can afford, your rabbit will need it for 7--12 years. Make sure that the hutch is large enough for your rabbit to stretch full out, and high enough for your rabbit to stand upright. Dutch rabbits are generally comfortable in a 4' x 2' hutch. If kept outdoors, the hutch should have a dark enclosed area to provide your rabbit with a quiet space. The main living area should be large enough for your rabbit to stretch full out, and have wire mesh on the door. The hutch should be at least 6'; off the floor to provide adequate ventilation. In the winter you can move your rabbits indoors or into a shed. They are also quite happy remaining out of doors, providing extra protection such as an old blanket draped over the front of the hutch at night in very cold weather. Remember rabbits need good ventilation, you can not therefore leave the cover down permanently otherwise your rabbit will succumb to chest infections from the damp, ammonia or overheating, and rabbits die from all of these.
Rabbits are naturally very clean animals and will only defecate and urinate in one area.
Bedding ... Hay, straw and wood chips all make suitable bedding for rabbits. It is down to personal choice which you use, however, research has shown that rabbits will choose straw rather than wood chip or wire bottomed cages. All bedding should be renewed at least once a week, and the hutch should be washed, scrubbed and disinfected several times per year.

What should my rabbit's poop look like?
My rabbit's poop is generally round and dry. But it is sometimes soft, long and mushy. Is it normal? What does it mean? Do you have any advice?
PS: He also eats both kinds of poop but I know eating his own poop is normal.What should my rabbit's poop look like?
Soft, long poops might be cecal pellets if you only see them sporadically. These are normal, but sometimes aren't seen since they are eaten right away. Most of the time they come in a fat string and look like a tiny brown cluster of grapes. They are very soft and are sometimes in pretty long clusters. What should my rabbit's poop look like?
Well rabbits will pass hard rounded poops, which they don't eat and slightly softer rounded poops which they will eat. However, this doesn't sound like either. Poo eating is normal, basically a rabbit can't get all of the nutrients it needs from its food by eating it just once, so it eats it twice. Its normal and the cecal pellets (softer ones that it eats) provides it with essential nutrients.
It is likely that you are feeding him too much green veg or grass. These are very high in fibre and cause loose poo, so I would advise you too cut back on this and make sure he has lots of fresh water because if he's passing runny poops like this then he is also losing lots of water in them. I owned a rabbit in the past, at the moment I have guinea pigs, but this can also occur in them, with guinea pigs we keep them on a diet of pellets and hay for a few days until the mushy poo has cleared up, I'm not sure if this advice is approppriate for a rabbit, but I spose you can give it a try, and in the future don;t feed him so much green veg :)
Yes, eating poop is normal. They usually do this when they are hungry though. So maybe you aren't giving him enough veggies, hay, or his normal diet food. Rabbits can eat most veggies, but fruits are acidic, and you shouldn't feed them too much of this. That could cause diarrhea.
Poop should be round and dry most of the time, but if it's a different color, it usually indicates a change or he is sick. Most likely you probably just gave him something that didn't sit well, or changed his food.
If he randomly has diarrhea then you should only give him the hay and normal rabbit food for a while. Make sure he always has fresh water!
If the problem persists, call a vet and ask some questions on why this could be happening.
mine had the same problem.. do you feed allot of vegetables to them? because they are high fibre and also very watery they seem to affect them allot (especially a greedier rabbit!) it happened to mine.. only the one who was pretty greedy.and i suggested that be the reason and once the vegetables were cut down on it seemed the poos started going back to normal too. but you shouldn't over feed them vegetables anyway as it will make them VERY fat. also if it does eat ALLOT of veggies it sometimes makes them slightly less energetic than usual.
Good Luck x
they look like little round pellets. if its too mushy or soft you should take them to the vet because it could be signs of a problem with their digestive tract. Also, to clear their digestive tract they should eat lots of timothy hay (not alfalfa). Timothy is better for their bellies :)
As a general guide, a healthy rabbit should pass small, firm, dark, brown pellets through the day; night time poos are likely to be softer, less formed, less solid, and a slightly different colour (!). It is the night time poos they eat, to re digest and absorb the correct nutrients from.
Just like us though, they do vary from the 'rules'! lol
Hey! My bunnie had a bowel infection and it was kind of mushy.The best thing is to ask your vet it usually is just small brown hard balls....
Hope I Helped!
They are supposed to be rounded DRY balls...But mine has been haveing the same problem lately.
brown, small, and balls
black raisins
brown peas
small balls!!

Well, for starters, what your rabbit ate was not puke. Rabbits are unable to puke, so anyone of the people on here who said it is fine is completely wrong.Why did my rabbit puke her pellets and just ate it?

unfortunately, that's normal...
dumb joke: that's one of nature's ways of recycling
Rabbits do this...it usually is their morning poops they eat. If you get up early enough you may catch this phenomenon. Breakfast for rabbits...very unusual.
Yes it is very normal dont worry, only if she has been acting wierd doing wierd stuff in pain then you shoudl take her to the vet .
It is really imposible for a rabbit to puke they do not have any gag reflexes in there body. They do eat there own poop though.
Raise rabbits
yeah it is like a way of recycling!
Well, for starters, what your rabbit ate was not puke. Rabbits are unable to puke, so anyone of the people on here who said it is fine is completely wrong.Why did my rabbit puke her pellets and just ate it?

Im getting a rabbit on tuesday and i?
dont have a hutch and wont be able to get one untill that weekend what do i do in the meanwhile?Im getting a rabbit on tuesday and i?
When I need to cage my rabbit which is almost never, but was necessary the first week or two, I just took a wooden board, or a small bit of mesh from the bottom shelf of the stereo cabinet later on, and placed it across a corner of the room. I used a chair on one corner and a bean bag on the other to hold it in place and put his food, water and litter tray in that. Put the litter tray in the corner, they choose corners to wee and poo in naturally.
If you are worried about the carpet, just put down ten or twenty sheets of newspapers under the whole impromptu cage. That will soak up any wee and bunny poos are just about as innocuous as small marbles anyway and as easy to clean up.
Good luck, and enjoy your bunny rabbit. Make sure you do some research and learn about them. They are quite different from dogs and cats, more complex in nature and much more fragile. They are however one of the most charming of god's creations in my opinion and I would never be without one.

What car does Rabbit drive in NBC's Trauma?
I've seen him drive it a few times, and it's a muscle car with SS as the ';make decal'; which made me think Super Snake, but it doesn't look the part. Can anyone identify it?What car does Rabbit drive in NBC's Trauma?
I'm thinking it's a Chevy Camaro SS I'm not 100% sure of the year but it might be a 1969 with some custom body work doneWhat car does Rabbit drive in NBC's Trauma?
It's a Chevy Chevelle (looks like a 1970) not a Camaro. The SS stands for Super Sport. And if it is a true classic, it probably has a 454 cid engine with a Holly 4-barrel carb. Yes, it sucks gas like it was .29/gallon, which is about what the price of regular LEADED gas was in 1970. But it is the definition of muscle car.pores

What is ur favorite kind of breed of a rabbit and why?
Mini Rex rabbits are my favorite, I have been breeding and raising them for about 15 years now.
They are a small breed, usually around 4# when they are full grown. They have wonderfully soft fur. Great personalities.
Come in all sorts of colors. Easy to groom as you don't have to do any brushing of them at all, it can ruin theri coat if you brush them. Just wipe them down once in awhile with a baby wipe.
All rabbits need to have their toenails trimmed and they need to have wood to chew as their teeth never stop growing.What is ur favorite kind of breed of a rabbit and why?
DUTCH, becuase i have raised them for show for the last 4? years.What is ur favorite kind of breed of a rabbit and why?
french lop. mine is 5 yrs old and about 8lbs. he is sooo smart and easily trained. he listens better than my cat!
Dwarf rabbit because they stay small. I owned one for five and a half years but she went missing a few months ago.
favorite breed : dead
Black Otter Rex, why because of their beautiful silky coat and their overall gorgeous looks. Nothing to do with me having one!
I also like dwarf lops, have one of those too.
Oh and mix bred rabbits are also cute yep!
got one of them too!
Probably the Jersey Woolly. They are small, cute, soft, furry, mellow, easy to take care for and come in many colours.
The lops seem really cool too. But if you want a house rabbit that will not chew everything, I'd stick to one with angora in their line.
Angoras were breed not to chew, and the easiest angora line is the Jersey Woolly.
my fav breed is a lop rabbit coz they r so cute.
i hv a 15 week old 1 and he's adoreable.
Personally, I love satins, because they are beautiful.
Next, mini-rex, bred them for years.
Jersey wooleys have a nice calm temperment.
I like polish, but they can be sort of spastic, you need to check them out a lot before you buy them.
I recommend minirex and jersey wooleys to new comers.
I've had repeated cases of visciousness with mini lops. I avoid them like the plague, not holland lops, but MINI lops
bugs bunny! he's funny... :P
I like the velvet rex. Their fur is soooo soft and thick. I have two rabbits in my home, they are mutt rabbits.....just your average easter bunny basket bunny.

How did my rabbit die?
I had a rabbit that got bit earlier this morning on its ear (by some unknown animal). Our family did not find the wound until we saw the rabbit just laying on its side with the wounded ear laid down. It died earlier this afternoon. How would it die from just a small wound?How did my rabbit die?
Stress. The same reason a fish will die if you remove the hook and throw it back in the water.How did my rabbit die?
Possibly blood loss, maybe it was bitten by a poisonous snake. It could be internal bleeding, you wouldn't see it but if your rabbit was ';roughed up'; a little bit it's very possible that broken bones punctured important organs. If it was in a lot of pain it's very possible that it was so stressed it's heart just stopped beating. This happens sometimes also when you take a rabbit from to a different temperature environment.
Lots of possible scenarios, I doubt you'll ever know for sure without an autopsy. I'm sorry for your loss. :(
That is soooo sad, I'm soo sorry that happened!!! Poor bunny!!
Perhaps if you live in a wooded area, that wound was from a snake bite or something. Take the rabbit to the vet to find out for sure!!! If animals are dieing in your house, that isn't a good sign, and you should investigate it!!
However, animals are prone to heart attacks from fear.
The wound could have been infected earlier. I'm not sure... More details might be needed to figure this out. I do know often times small animals can die from getting scared to badly or extreme stress or whatever.
I'm really not sure.
maybe the animal was bit pretty worse then you thought, either that or it was bit by a diseased animal that just happened to have a small bite.
If it was loose in open area a dog may of bit and shook it which would cause neck/head trama.
if your rabbit was older it may have been stress.

Does feeding a rabbit banana safe?
You can give her banana but a VERY small amount because it's really sugary. Just cut off the top or something and give it to her, that's all they can really eat without having diarrhea and stuff :PDoes feeding a rabbit banana safe?
Well, I'm not sure about just like giving it one out of the banana peel, but I know you can feed it those like fried banana chips.Does feeding a rabbit banana safe?
Bananas are a good treat for rabbits.
However, they shouldn't be given too frequently.
You shouldn't give a rabbit a bannana. At least thats what I think.
mine got diarrhoea when i gave her some :S
Yup.
Just not to many....
Xo.
no

What type of rabbit do I have?
Im in Arizona and I see alot like my rabbits running wild in the streets, im guessing its a cottontail since thats common in arizona but other cottontail rabbits seem to have rougher fur and and alot darker tan to them. My rabbit has more of a palomino looking fur but a lil darker then that, its fur is as soft as any rabbits can get, a vet weighed him at 12 pounds, he doesnt look that big but i forgot to ask what type of breed it was.What type of rabbit do I have?
There are a lot of rabbit breeds that would come in that size and color. Take a look at the photos here: http://www.arba.net/Breeds.htm#r Keep in mind that most of these breeds come in more colors than just the one pictured. Also keep in mind that if your rabbit did not come with a pedigree and from a reputable breeder, it is likely a mixture of breeds, and not any one specific breed. At that size, he is not a cottontail, they are much much smaller. What type of rabbit do I have?
I can tell you for a fact that it is not a lionhead!! Lionheads weigh (1-3.45) pounds I no that because I raise them you can see a lionhead at my website www.freewebs.com/schneiders-little-lions I also have a rabbit under other pets he is a mixed breed he weighs that much (harlequin/Flemish) He was saved from a meat farm!!!
im thinking you may have a rex or a chinchilla
could you email me a picture and If I cant find out I can Find someone that can!! briannaschneider@rocketmail.com

Is it very inconvenient and tiring to keep a rabbit?
Tell me your experience, rabbit owner.:)Is it very inconvenient and tiring to keep a rabbit?
I have lots of rabbits and I don't find looking after them to be any problem at all. I enjoy playing with them when I'm cleaning out their cages - they love making it as difficult as possible for me by always getting in the way!! It's a matter of setting up a routine. If you use something like woodchips as bedding (not a good idea), it can be messy and time consuming. I clean my rabbits out every second day, then do a proper wash of the cage once a week. I line their box with newspapers, covered in a layer of oaten hay. They poo/pee in one side, and eat the hay in the other. Then, when it's time to clean, I roll it all up like I'm rolling up a rug, dump it in the bin, and line it with new newspapers and hay. Each cage takes me about 5 minutes. That's nothing. I spend about 15 minutes per week per cage on the major clean out. If you stop it getting really dirty by cleaning regularly and often, it's not unpleasant at all, and your rabbits actually will enjoy the interaction. This is something I find relaxing, and I always find that after a busy, stressful day at work, I feel much more mellow once I've finished my bunny clean outs.
However, not everyone sees it that way. If you are the type of person who doesn't like getting up a bit earlier in the morning to feed and play with your pet, if you don't like grooming them a few times a week, and handling them just for the pleasure, if you don't have much energy or time EVERY single day after school/work to take care of the mundane chore of cleaning, and if you keep the rabbit outside you need to be prepared to clean if it's raining or freezing cold or dark etc, then I would suggest not having one.
The people that complain that rabbits are dirty or a big deal to take care of are just not doing it right.
I take care of rescue rabbits which can mean having a LOT of them, and I never have any problem with smell or dirt, and all my rabbits are healthy and clean. I have days where i'm really tired and just want to collapse in front of the tv, and yes, I have to push myself to go out and get started, but after a minute, I'm enjoying myself and the rabbits are playing with my hands and nudging me, and it's all well worth the effort!
Any animal needs a long term committment - a person who tends to get bored with things easily or who doesn't have a lot of time or patience, or self discipline to do things they don't want to do, shouldn't really have a pet of any kind.Is it very inconvenient and tiring to keep a rabbit?
It is neither TRULY inconvenient nor tiring to own a rabbit, if you truly love the animal. If your the kind of pet owner that only likes an animal for the first few months that they are around, a rabbit isnt for you. Its an on going for up to 5 years or more expierence that can be both fun and beneficial.
Its always going to be kind of ';inconvenient'; to have any animal for that matter, but whether inconvenient is the right word or not is unknown. They need time, money, and attention. And ALL of those tie in together.
Do some homework and search some web sites on keeping rabbits.I hope you do find that you can keep one or maybe even a few of these delightful, loving, creatures.
Best of Luck =)
Not at all. Rabbits are bright, funny animals that have distinct personalties. They need an enclosure that allows them three jumps long and high enough to do this. They need outside enclosure time everyday and if you are smart, you will just bunny proof your home and let them free roam when you are home or for a good chunk of the day.
Their cage should be changed everyday but that would just mean scooping up the newspaper and putting some more down. Super easy. If not they will stink but females smell less than the males. I always say to people, how often do you flush your toilet? Would you go a week without flushing and wonder why it smells?
Rabbits are usually easy to litter train and their main food is timothy hay (not pellets), which is supplemented with pellets, raw veg and the occasional fruit treat.
They love toys and parrot toys are a great option for them.
I had a bunny when I was little. I loved it more than anything. Didn't seem to be a pain to take care of. But it was traumatizing when it died. I came home from school and it was not moving, Died in my arms. When my daughter is old enough, I will definitely get her a rabbit if she wants one!
I had a rabbit we just got rid of it. I hated owning that thing! To much trouble cleaning its cage every week. It stunk. It got wood chips all over my floor. It chewed up wires in my house. Glad its gone!
no rabbits are the best pets in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have lots of rabbits and I don't find looking after them to be any problem at all. I enjoy playing with them when I'm cleaning out their cages - they love making it as difficult as possible for me by always getting in the way!! It's a matter of setting up a routine. If you use something like woodchips as bedding (not a good idea), it can be messy and time consuming. I clean my rabbits out every second day, then do a proper wash of the cage once a week. I line their box with newspapers, covered in a layer of oaten hay. They poo/pee in one side, and eat the hay in the other. Then, when it's time to clean, I roll it all up like I'm rolling up a rug, dump it in the bin, and line it with new newspapers and hay. Each cage takes me about 5 minutes. That's nothing. I spend about 15 minutes per week per cage on the major clean out. If you stop it getting really dirty by cleaning regularly and often, it's not unpleasant at all, and your rabbits actually will enjoy the interaction. This is something I find relaxing, and I always find that after a busy, stressful day at work, I feel much more mellow once I've finished my bunny clean outs.
However, not everyone sees it that way. If you are the type of person who doesn't like getting up a bit earlier in the morning to feed and play with your pet, if you don't like grooming them a few times a week, and handling them just for the pleasure, if you don't have much energy or time EVERY single day after school/work to take care of the mundane chore of cleaning, and if you keep the rabbit outside you need to be prepared to clean if it's raining or freezing cold or dark etc, then I would suggest not having one.
The people that complain that rabbits are dirty or a big deal to take care of are just not doing it right.
I take care of rescue rabbits which can mean having a LOT of them, and I never have any problem with smell or dirt, and all my rabbits are healthy and clean. I have days where i'm really tired and just want to collapse in front of the tv, and yes, I have to push myself to go out and get started, but after a minute, I'm enjoying myself and the rabbits are playing with my hands and nudging me, and it's all well worth the effort!
Any animal needs a long term committment - a person who tends to get bored with things easily or who doesn't have a lot of time or patience, or self discipline to do things they don't want to do, shouldn't really have a pet of any kind.Is it very inconvenient and tiring to keep a rabbit?
It is neither TRULY inconvenient nor tiring to own a rabbit, if you truly love the animal. If your the kind of pet owner that only likes an animal for the first few months that they are around, a rabbit isnt for you. Its an on going for up to 5 years or more expierence that can be both fun and beneficial.
Its always going to be kind of ';inconvenient'; to have any animal for that matter, but whether inconvenient is the right word or not is unknown. They need time, money, and attention. And ALL of those tie in together.
Do some homework and search some web sites on keeping rabbits.I hope you do find that you can keep one or maybe even a few of these delightful, loving, creatures.
Best of Luck =)
Not at all. Rabbits are bright, funny animals that have distinct personalties. They need an enclosure that allows them three jumps long and high enough to do this. They need outside enclosure time everyday and if you are smart, you will just bunny proof your home and let them free roam when you are home or for a good chunk of the day.
Their cage should be changed everyday but that would just mean scooping up the newspaper and putting some more down. Super easy. If not they will stink but females smell less than the males. I always say to people, how often do you flush your toilet? Would you go a week without flushing and wonder why it smells?
Rabbits are usually easy to litter train and their main food is timothy hay (not pellets), which is supplemented with pellets, raw veg and the occasional fruit treat.
They love toys and parrot toys are a great option for them.

Does any other rabbit ownew have this problem?
My little darling, he's a lop about 4 mths old, will empty the garbage, in the middle of the floor. I had some in a small plastic bag, he turned it over and PULLED the bag off the garbage.Does any other rabbit ownew have this problem?
I have a rabbit that enjoys on of those kid-sized plastic stools that he drags around, hops on or under. He has a great deal of fun with it and it is fun to watch. Use a squirt gun to teach him what he cannot do.Does any other rabbit ownew have this problem?
Haha.. my bunny has an attitude too!
If i spend too much time on my computer or just not paying attention to her, she'll stomp on her foot real loudly to get my attention! What a silly cute bunny :)
As to your question, i'll just put the garbage where she can't reach...
I never had that problem. Mine is almost 2 years now, lop as well. He likes to chew on electrical cords. I usually put some newspaper in his cage with him, like a free thrifty nickel, and he will shred it and dig at it. This keeps him from digging at the carpet. I would just move the garbage can. They are very intelligent and facinating pets. The want to explore.
Yeah rabbits will get into things like that, I suggest moving the garbage someplace your bun can't get to it. Rabbits love to chew and destroy. Before me youngest one was 3 months old she had chewed through lamp cords, dvd cords, internet cords, phone cords, closet doors, and tons more. They are such great pets for a more laid back person who doesn't flip over these things. I have owned rabbits in the past and currently own two, a male 5 year old grey Satin rabbit and a 5 month old female mixed breed. Love them to death but a ton of work they are. I know how you feel just make sure things you don't want your bun to get to are out of his reach because eventually they will always get to it.
All animals will do that, even my rats do. Put the garbage where he can't get it or get a larger, heavier garbage bin.
ya i have that problem to just put the garbage were he or she can't get to it
Rabbits are very curious, intelligient creatures. My little boy bunny (when he was 3 yrs old) used to always jump into the trash can-then he couldn't figure how to get out! Yes, they do like attention; and can get quite the attitude about it.
If you have one rabbit-it will bond with you. Two will bond to each other more. I have 2 siblings: a boy and a girl; they are both neutered and spayed, they are now 8 years old.
If you do not want the rabbit to empty the trash, then move the trash bag. Or take the hint that they want you to play with them. If you are going to be on the computer, then give them something to play with.
Rabbits' teeth are constantly growing-so they do have the need to chew on things to keep their teeth ';filed'; down. I keep small pieces of wood (pine is best) around for them to chew on, I put 1x4 pine boards (unfinished, unstained, and clean) over the base boards, or remove the base boards and just put the pine boards up around the room so they have something to chew on that won't be moving around on them. They also like to tear up cardboard boxes, and chew on the wood craft crates that you can find in the craft stores. When they get older (usually 3 %26amp; up) they get more docile and just flop somewhere for hours. But younger ones do like attention. Have you tried holding them while on the computer? Some like that.
Hope this helps. I had one rabbit for 8 years and then these 2 for the last 8 years.....so after 16 years of rabbit-parenting- I have had the experience. But they all are different personalities also. No, 2 are alike.
Check out the House Rabbit Society @ http://www.rabbit.org
They have been rescueing rabbits, and fostering rabbits for almost 20 years. It is a very large group with smaller clubs all over the the USA. More rabbits are purchased at Easter for gifts, and then they end up in the animal shelters, because people do not take the time to learn and understand a rabbit's behavior BEFORE getting a rabbit. They are not like a pet cat or dog; they are a prey animal - that means there are many animals out there that would ';prey'; on them (ie hurt or eat them). Hence they have a survival instinct, that cat and dogs do not have. That and the fact of their teeth always growing; do not make them good pets for many people. It takes a very special person to understand, and be patient with a rabbit.

Do you now where i can find a cheap nice indoor rabbit hutch?
i would like a nice cheap indoor rabbit hutch i live in essex thanks ..xDo you now where i can find a cheap nice indoor rabbit hutch?
Hiya again,
Ebay is great - i've had some really good bargains from there in the past and would recommend it. Obviously a cage is likely to be used so I would ask what happened to the previous occupant before you buy and make sure that you disinfect it thoroughly before putting your rabbit in it.
To look for rabbit cages close to your area go to the ebay.co.uk homepage - in the search box put ';rabbit';, then click on Pet Supplies in the criteria that comes up. Then when that page opens scroll down looking at the left column which is all your search options and right at the bottom of the options you've got ';distance';. Click on this and you can put in how many miles away from your postcode you want items to be and it will show you all relevant results. Great way to find things quickly!
Also for new indoor cages you could try Pets at Home or Pets Corner who have quite a few stores down south. I know they're running a deal on for a Ferplast Rabbit 100 for 29.99 just through November which is a really good deal (i've seen them in most places for about 49.99). Suitable for a small breed of rabbit. If you search it on google it will give you all the relevant information. And the Pets Corner shops can be found at www.petscorner.co.uk
I hope this helps :)Do you now where i can find a cheap nice indoor rabbit hutch?

your best bet is to buy a dog crate, they are usually a better size than indoor cages as most of them are too small
you can usually get them on ebay
i just got a lovely one from ebay and you could also look at freeads.net and preloved.co.uk mine only cost me 20 plus fuel to pick it up
Pets at Home do the best ones, starting about £15 going up to a maximum of £40. I got mine from there.

I have a pet rabbit, I want to know the breed.?
she is mostly white, with brown patches on her back,brown circles around the eyes and brown ears. She is probably between 8 and 9 lbsI have a pet rabbit, I want to know the breed.?
english spots have patches over the eyes, a check spot, buterfly shaped nose spot, coulered ears and a stripe going down the back with spots either side.
but if it came from a pet shop it is most likley a cross between two breeds or a mix of diffrent breeds

Here's an idea. Take the rabbit to a vet to find out. They seem to specialize in animals.
Go to this site from the American Rabbit Breeders Association to compare your rabbit with recognized breeds: http://www.arba.net/photo.htm
If you are serious about raising rabbits, you should consider joining the organization. I used to be a member when I had pet rabbits.
There are several breeds it could be:
1. Breed: Satin Color: Broken *Breed has shiny fur (sheen)
2. Breed: Rex Color: Broken *Breed has very short plush fur
3. Breed: Rhinelander *Breed has a line running down it's back and about 3 spots on each side
4. Breed: English Lop Color: Broken *Breed has very larg lop ears
5. Breed: Mini Lop Color: Broken *Breed has normal size lop ears
I doubt it's an English Spot because the weight sounds too heavy. You really need a picture of it to be able to tell. It also might be a mixed rabbit.
Is her fur short and velvet like ? To me it sounds like a rex or it could just be some mutt type rabbit
A english spot..!! I have one two
I can tell you that she's a broken color. You'd have to describe the brown. Do you see rings if you blow in the fur? Is it a chocolate brown or an orangey brown with a little gray mixed in? I assume her ears stick up, since you didn't say otherwise, and the only purebred broken rabbits with straight ears in that weight range are Satins and Rex. Satin fur is very shiny, even on the pads of the feet, and Rex fur is very soft and plushy like velvet. That's the best I can do with the description I have!
Try this website: www.ontariorabbits.org, it may help

Question about possibly abnormal rabbit droppings?
i have found some of the droppings, not all of them, are kinda joined together, theres like two droppings with a line inbetween them, i was just wondering if this is normal? does it mean anything?Question about possibly abnormal rabbit droppings?
What you're seeing sounds like fur that your rabbit is passing. Rabbits tend to ingest their fur while grooming themselves, and this typically passes through their digestive tract. It's normal.
If your rabbit is ingesting too much fur, it's possible that they could suffer an intestinal blockage, which would lead to a very painful death. This is why you should always give your rabbit hay and roughage to help with digestion. The hay works to keep everything moving.
I've also found it's helpful to give rabbits a little pineapple as a treat. There is an enzyme in pineapple that helps break the fur down and make it easier to pass. Plus, they love it. Tidbits in natural juice are the best for them.
Also, brush your rabbit regularly to help remove excess fur, particularly when they're molting. If you groom them, that's less fur that they'll be eating themselves - and less worry for you.Question about possibly abnormal rabbit droppings?
time for an explanation of the rabbit's digestive system here!
Rabbits have a sac called a cecum where the small intestine and large intestine join (where our appendix is). In a rabbit, the cecum is large and contains lots of healthy bacteria and other microorganisms to help the rabbit digest food which hadn't been digested in the small intestine.
The gastrointestinal tract diverts some material from the small intestine to the cecum for further break-down. (Food digested in the small intestine doesn't need to pass through the cecum and goes straight to the large intestine - these make the normal, drier droppings you see in the hutch normally).
In the cecum, the fibre is broken down by the bacteria and turned into ddigestible nutrients; however to absorb these nutrients the rabbit must ingest them into the digestive system once more. The nutrients pass as ';cecotropes'; - which is the droppings you are seeing. The rabbit should consume them the minute they are released - often if a rabbit looks like he is grooming his back end, he is actually taking in the cecotropes. They are brown or sometimes green, mucus-coated and smell slightly stronger than normal droppings. Normally you will only see them rarely, so if you are seeing them all the time it indicates a diet too rich in protein or a more serious condition - so for advice and a checkup, I would recommend you take your rabbit to the vet.
As well as digesting nutrients this whole system keeps the digestive system active and in good working order.
Hope i helped!
It could be just the normal *Cecotropes* which are the ones rabbits eat,or could be due to a slight blockage,please take a look at these pictures %26amp; descriptions;http://www.brightsidewoolies.com/article鈥?/a>
That should sort out any problems!

I am a new rabbit owner seeking tips?
I just got a dwarf bunny on the 7th of October, and he is great. He likes to play and be held. However I am looking for tips on how to raise a bunny. What are some good treats and accessories to have? When should I clip his toenails? Should I get another rabbit so he can play while I'm at school? etc.
Thanks. I am a new rabbit owner seeking tips?
http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/rabbit鈥?/a>
that should cover most of itI am a new rabbit owner seeking tips?
Make sure you have lots of chew sticks for his teeth and you can see when his claws are getting too long. When it gets hot in the summer you can always freeze 2 litter bottles of water and put them in his cage to keep him cool. You may get another rabbit for him to play with but only if you have the room in the cage for two bunnies.
If you do get another rabbit don't get a male because they fight, but if you get a female there will babies. My rabbit likes a toilet roll to play with and a small foam ball 2 push around. Also we have a large tube for him (kitchen roll tube sized), a great game is to get a treat let your rabbit sniff the treat then put it in the tube and he'll try to knock the tube over to get the treat.
No other bunny, they will fight and could hurt each other. Clip his toenails when they look long- lol - that's the only way to do it some grow faster than others. Treats I like fresh veggies Parsley, romaine lettuce, and carrots are my rabbits favorites. Accessories a rabbit leash, they love to walk arround outside, they like hanging wooden bird toys (the ones with bells). Have Fun
make sure it has bedding. I take mine for walk every now and then, haha. we got a special collar and leash made for bunnies. mine is also in love with bananas, grapes, almonds, and lettuce. so make sure you give your bunny a variety of food. and make sure its cage is large. before you get another one, make sure your cage is big enough, and only put 2 females together. males will fight unless they were raised together, and a male and female will mate.
your bunny should have a very nutritious diet to keep her strong and healthy which includes Green (dark Green) leafy veggies: Lettuce (Romain Only ice berg can do alot of harm to the digestive track) parsley,Basil, Beet greens (tops only), Bok Choy, Carrot tops*, Cilantro, Collard greens*, Dandelion greens (no pesticides), Dill, Radish tops, Spinach*. these are somethings ur bunny will enjoy and keep him/her healthy her water bowl should always be filled with fresh water and keep a bowl of pellets through out the day , but not to much most of its diet should consist of veggies through out the day a little bit of pellets, about a small hand full (fattening) plenty of fresh water and once in while a treat like a raisin (They love raisins) a small piece of banana or apple. Avoid feeding fruit alot because it is high in sugar and Hay is an essential part of their diet it gives them fibers they need. As for while ur gone to school get him a igloo to hide in and some toys u don't necessarily have to spend a fortune on it either there are so many things at home like a empty toilet paper tube just stuff it with hay and put little treats in it and that will keep ur bun busy for a while and give them old directory books that will keep them busy for hours ripping them apart. And please dont get a partner yet, one of them has to be spayed and neutered or else they WILL fight.
----Hope ive been help--------

Make sure you have lots of chew sticks for his teeth and you can see when his claws are getting too long. When it gets hot in the summer you can always freeze 2 litter bottles of water and put them in his cage to keep him cool. You may get another rabbit for him to play with but only if you have the room in the cage for two bunnies.
If you do get another rabbit don't get a male because they fight, but if you get a female there will babies. My rabbit likes a toilet roll to play with and a small foam ball 2 push around. Also we have a large tube for him (kitchen roll tube sized), a great game is to get a treat let your rabbit sniff the treat then put it in the tube and he'll try to knock the tube over to get the treat.
No other bunny, they will fight and could hurt each other. Clip his toenails when they look long- lol - that's the only way to do it some grow faster than others. Treats I like fresh veggies Parsley, romaine lettuce, and carrots are my rabbits favorites. Accessories a rabbit leash, they love to walk arround outside, they like hanging wooden bird toys (the ones with bells). Have Fun
make sure it has bedding. I take mine for walk every now and then, haha. we got a special collar and leash made for bunnies. mine is also in love with bananas, grapes, almonds, and lettuce. so make sure you give your bunny a variety of food. and make sure its cage is large. before you get another one, make sure your cage is big enough, and only put 2 females together. males will fight unless they were raised together, and a male and female will mate.

I have a small rabbit in my garden.?
Anyone know how to make a home made trap? Or other ways to get rid of my problem. He's small now but I know how they grow and multiply.I have a small rabbit in my garden.?
I use a pellet gun. They are cute, But they can wreck a garden in a hurry.I have a small rabbit in my garden.?
go to a hardware store, or a Home Depot, or any other storeof that type, and get a live trap by Have-a-Heart...they're easy to use, and they don't hurt the animal. Remember to release it somewhere other than your yard, or you'll end up trapping it again.
I would call an exterminator, but their not really exterminators. They just catch the rabbit and send it to a park or forest so its no longer your problem, but also still alive.
Good luck
Call the animal patrol

Why are dog and rabbit houses made of wood?
Dogs or puppies and especially rabbits like to chew on things and wood won't usually break, scratch, wear down or cause digesition problems. Plastic isn't thick and it isn't heavy or tough enough to last with animals (with the exception of those huts in rabbit cages, but those are indoors) and its not good with the weather ie: rain, snow, mud etc :) hope i helpeddddWhy are dog and rabbit houses made of wood?
1) Most people can easily build one from wood with few tools and a small amount a skill.
2) steel cages (steel framed, i.e.) must be fabricated with large machines or expensive speciallty tools (benders, welder, etc.).
3) plastic cages require special tools, can not hold up very well against animals and can sometimes contain chemicals that would harm the animal if they chewed on it.Why are dog and rabbit houses made of wood?
They aren't all made of wood. I've seen lots of plastic and metal dog houses, and wire, plastic, and metal rabbit cages. Wood is an easy material for most people to work with for dog houses and such made at home, and a readily available and suitable building material.
it's cheap, and it's a good insulator.
i personally use plastic raised and double insulated dog houses. but my dogs are rarely left outside. they are house dogs.
Not all dog and rabbit houses are made of wood. However, the majority are, and the reason is because wood is an easy to use material that holds up well over time.
Because it is cheaper than stone, and easier to work with than bricks.
Same with dog houses. Why?
Because, in the wild, animals live in the woods and they like that woodsy smell.
because if you build them out of carrots or dog food, they will eat themselves out of house and home
If they were my pets, they'd be lucky to get that much!
Isn't your house made of wood?

Which breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
Why breed more cross bred rabbits
The following was compiled by me to give more help to new rabbit owners and I exhibit rex, dutch, harlequins, magpies and dwarf lop rabbits, also ferrets and ferret cross European polecat hybrids, I got my first pet ferret and pet rabbit over 50+ years ago, when I was a small child.
History ... Dutch rabbits, along with the English, were the most popular pet and exhibition rabbits a position that has now been filled by the Lop breeds. Originally from Holland or Belgium, the breed is striking in its appearance with a white blaze carrying up to a point between the ears, a saddle of colour continuing right around the middle of the rabbit with a straight edge and white markings on the hind feet. Their coat should be glossy and they are a medium size rabbit weighing 2.04 -2. 26 kg (4.5 lb. 5 lb.).
Behaviour of all rabbits ... Dutch rabbits are very lively and alert and should make good pets although a prospective owner should be looking for a breeder that handles the rabbits regularly from a young age so that the rabbit is not too jumpy. Colours Black, Blue, Chocolate, Yellow, Tortoiseshell, Steel Grey, Brown Grey, Pale Grey and Tri Colour By using body language rabbits can stamp their feet or with a flash of a tail they can be seen and heard by other rabbits over a long distance.
Feeding ... Rabbits require a high fibre with lots of low quality hay (dried grass) or straw and low protein feed to prevent digestive problems, all rabbits do better on a poor quality hay than on a better quality hay such as timothy hay. Use rabbit pellets which can be purchased from pet shops to provide all your rabbits dietary needs and along with the following. Vegetables:
Artichoke leaves and Jerrusalem leaves, stems and tubers, Asparagus, Baby Sweetcorns and full size ones, Beetroot, Broccoli (and its leaves, including purple sprouting varieties), Brussel Sprouts (leaves and sprouts), Cabbage (can sometimes cause digestive upsets), Carrots (and carrot tops), Cauliflower (and the leaves), Celeriac, Celery (and its leaves), Chicory (in small amounts as this is a diretic), Courgette ( also leaves and flowers), Cucumber ( also leaves and flowers), Curly Kale (Excerlent for winter use), Fennel, Green beans (including leaves and stems), Kohl rabi, Parsnip, Peas (including the leaves and pods), Peppers (red, green and yellow), Pumpkin ( also leaves and flowers), Radish Tops, Rocket, Romaine (and all other lettuce as this is a diretic), Spinach (only occasional), Spring Greens, Squash (e.g. Butternut, leaves and flowers), Swede (Excerlent for winter use), Turnip (only occasional), Watercress.
Herbs (often powerful tastes so may take some getting used to): Basil, Coriander, Dill, Mint (peppermint), Parsley, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme.
Fruits (should be fed in moderation, due to sugar content): all types of fresh fruit including skin Apple, Apricot, Banana (high in potassium),Blackberries (and leaves 鈥?excellent astringent properties), Blueberries,Cherries, Grapes, Kiwi Fruit, Melon, Mango, Nectarines, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Plums, Strawberries, Raspberries (and leaves 鈥?excellent astringent properties), Tomatoes (not the leaves)
Wild Garden Herbs/Weeds/Flowers: Borage, Calendula, Camomile, Chickweed ( in small amounts as this is a diretic), Clover (leaves and flowers), Coltsfoot, Comfrey, Dandelion (in small amounts as this is a diretic), Goosegrass (cleavers) but may stick to coat!, Lavender, Mallow, Nettle (the type with the white flowers), Nasturtium (leaves and flowers), Shepherd's purse, Sow Thistle, Plantain, Yarrow.
Extra vitamins and salt licks are not required. Any changes in diet must be made slowly (green stuffs and prepared feeds) over a period of a couple of weeks, to avoid digestive upsets. Fresh water must be available at all times and renewed daily. To enable your rabbit to extract as much protein, vitamins and minerals from their low quality food, they digest their food twice, these are soft, kidney shaped droppings which are covered in a small amount of mucous. These droppings are very different from the dry round droppings that you will usually see your rabbit passing. Rabbits are herbivorous and wild rabbits will spend most of their lives grazing on grass, foliage, flowers and roots
Rabbits living indoor will drink more water than rabbits living out of doors because of the dryer atmosphere
Housing ... For first time rabbit owner once you get home with your rabbit, put it in your cage and leave it for 48 house so that it can get used to its new surroundings before you start handling it, if you start to handle it too early you could end up with a very grumpy young rabbit from the start.
Rabbits can be kept indoors or outdoors, either way they need their own space in an appropriate cage or hutch. There are many purpose built cages and hutches available, alternatively you could build your own. It is recommended that you purchase the best quality you can afford, your rabbit will need it for 7--12 years. Make sure that the hutch is large enough for your rabbit to stretch full out, and high enough for your rabbit to stand upright. Dutch rabbits are generally comfortable in a 4' x 2' hutch. If kept outdoors, the hutch should have a dark enclosed area to provide your rabbit with a quiet space. The main living area should be large enough for your rabbit to stretch full out, and have wire mesh on the door. The hutch should be at least 6'; off the floor to provide adequate ventilation. In the winter you can move your rabbits indoors or into a shed. They are also quite happy remaining out of doors, providing extra protection such as an old blanket draped over the front of the hutch at night in very cold weather. Remember rabbits need good ventilation, you can not therefore leave the cover down permanently otherwise your rabbit will succumb to chest infections from the damp, ammonia or overheating, and rabbits die from all of these.
Rabbits are naturally very clean animals and will only defecate and urinate in one area.
Bedding ... Hay, straw and wood chips all make suitable bedding for rabbits. It is down to personal choice which you use, however, research has shown that rabbits will choose straw rather than wood chip or wire bottomed cages. All bedding should be renewed at least once a week, and the hutch should be washed, scrubbed and disinfected several times per year.
Rabbits can live out doors quite happily at minus 20c or below, all they need is plenty of bedding and a 4 inch layer of shavings
Exercise ... Rabbits need regular stimulation and exercise in a safe environment. This can be in a purpose made rabbit run or simply by bringing your rabbit indoors and letting it play in your living room. Rabbits that are playing outside of their hutches, either in a run or indoors, should be supervised at all times and their play area must be 'rabbit proofed' by removing any hazards. Young rabbits will enjoy exercise, but be careful not to over do it, particularly if you are still in the 'getting to know each other' period.
Rabbits are sociable creatures and enjoy the company of humans, dogs, cats and other rabbits if carefully introduced. It is generally suggested that each rabbit has its own hutch (particularly if you intend to show it) as rabbits are like children and prefer not to share 'bedrooms'. They can, however, socialise together in common space, such as rabbit runs, and will like being able to see and hear another rabbit when they are in their own hutches. 2 bucks must never be put together even in a run if they have not been castrated (they will fight).
Rabbits need to be occupied and they love playing with toys. This can include manufactured toys for human babies, birds, cats, dogs, hamsters etc. But rabbits will equally get hours of enjoyment from some very cheap, readily available items in the household, blocks of wood, planks, plastic flower pots. Rabbits can get exercise by taking them out on a harness and lead, but the problem with this is that rabbits can pick up diseases and fleas left on the grass by other rabbits, if their vaccinations are up to date they should not get any of the diseases but they will still pick up fleas.
Rabbits left to run around the home while the householder is out will chew wires, electric leads and furniture, these pets should be put in a pen or hutch while the householders are not at home.
Health ... It is recommend that you get your rabbit covered by Pet Insurance as veterinary fees can mount up. Never leave a rabbit in the sole care of a child. As an adult you will have to assume sole responsibility for the health and welfare of your child's rabbit.
To prevent territorial behaviour of both bucks (males) and does (females), it is suggested that pet rabbits are neutered, if they are not neutered then it should be one rabbit per cage. I don't see altering as cruel when the kits may be dead in a year anyway; either through being ';released'; into the wild'; or being slaughtered in a shelter when the owners have got bored of them.
Never put intact cavies / guinea-pigs in with intact rabbits as they will both sexually abuse each other, cavies / guinea- pigs should be housed with others of the same species. Males can be neutered at around 3-4 months, and does at 6 months. Females over 2-3 years old that are not being regularly bred from are at high risk of developing uterine cancer unless neutered.
Rabbits have little ability to regulate their body temperature and die very easily from heat stroke. Ensure adequate shade is provided at all times. Handle your rabbit daily, and it will generally enjoy your company. Never pick a rabbit up by its ears, and always support your rabbits back and hind quarters when handling. RaWhich breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
First off, let me state that as a rabbit breeder of PUREBRED pedigreed rabbits, cross breeding IS NOT advisable unless you have purpose for developing a new breed. And at that point, there is many of years to go into establishing a new recognized breed of rabbit and there isn't much need for it when there are already 47 recognized breeds of rabbit with the American Rabbit Breeders Association to choose from, with several more that are still in the presentation process for approval after years of breeding for perfection.
Now, are you actually saying the breed of rabbit that is known as a Chinchilla, or that other animal that is a Chinchilla?
If you mean the rabbit, then which breed of Chinchilla...there are three...Giant Chinchilla, American Chinchilla and Standard Chinchilla. The first two are substantially larger than the Dutch breed, and this would be cruel to put a rabbit through the pregnancy and birthing of the two extremely different genetics of size between these two. The Standard Chin would actually be more to the size of the Dutch and if you are saying you want to breed these two, then again, I would say DON'T since we haven't a need for a Chinchilla Dutch rabbit mix. If you want a Dutch rabbit with that chinchilla color, then it is already out there in the rabbit world with breeders that you can buy from.
Otherwise, you get a MUTT. A Mix breed. A Heinz 57. There are no actual names for rabbits that are Mix breed other than just that, mixed breeds.Which breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
LOL, that like asking to cross a dog with a cat, absolutely impossible!
chindutchachilla
You would get a cross breed chinchilla or a cross bred dutch,the markings and variety all depending how strong the genetics are in both breeds.
your mom
A mix.
wow im not sure, never done that before i bred mini lops and lion lops, would it work? i dont no, if it did work maybe you would have trouble getting rid of the bunnys as they are not full breeds,
It is not a breed it is just a ';mutt'; or crossbreed.pores

They can, however, socialise together in common space, such as rabbit runs, and will like being able to see and hear another rabbit when they are in their own hutches. 2 bucks must never be put together even in a run if they have not been castrated (they will fight).
Rabbits need to be occupied and they love playing with toys. This can include manufactured toys for human babies, birds, cats, dogs, hamsters etc. But rabbits will equally get hours of enjoyment from some very cheap, readily available items in the household, blocks of wood, planks, plastic flower pots. Rabbits can get exercise by taking them out on a harness and lead, but the problem with this is that rabbits can pick up diseases and fleas left on the grass by other rabbits, if their vaccinations are up to date they should not get any of the diseases but they will still pick up fleas.
Rabbits left to run around the home while the householder is out will chew wires, electric leads and furniture, these pets should be put in a pen or hutch while the householders are not at home.
Health ... It is recommend that you get your rabbit covered by Pet Insurance as veterinary fees can mount up. Never leave a rabbit in the sole care of a child. As an adult you will have to assume sole responsibility for the health and welfare of your child's rabbit.
To prevent territorial behaviour of both bucks (males) and does (females), it is suggested that pet rabbits are neutered, if they are not neutered then it should be one rabbit per cage. I don't see altering as cruel when the kits may be dead in a year anyway; either through being ';released'; into the wild'; or being slaughtered in a shelter when the owners have got bored of them.
Never put intact cavies / guinea-pigs in with intact rabbits as they will both sexually abuse each other, cavies / guinea- pigs should be housed with others of the same species. Males can be neutered at around 3-4 months, and does at 6 months. Females over 2-3 years old that are not being regularly bred from are at high risk of developing uterine cancer unless neutered.
Rabbits have little ability to regulate their body temperature and die very easily from heat stroke. Ensure adequate shade is provided at all times. Handle your rabbit daily, and it will generally enjoy your company. Never pick a rabbit up by its ears, and always support your rabbits back and hind quarters when handling. RaWhich breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
First off, let me state that as a rabbit breeder of PUREBRED pedigreed rabbits, cross breeding IS NOT advisable unless you have purpose for developing a new breed. And at that point, there is many of years to go into establishing a new recognized breed of rabbit and there isn't much need for it when there are already 47 recognized breeds of rabbit with the American Rabbit Breeders Association to choose from, with several more that are still in the presentation process for approval after years of breeding for perfection.
Now, are you actually saying the breed of rabbit that is known as a Chinchilla, or that other animal that is a Chinchilla?
If you mean the rabbit, then which breed of Chinchilla...there are three...Giant Chinchilla, American Chinchilla and Standard Chinchilla. The first two are substantially larger than the Dutch breed, and this would be cruel to put a rabbit through the pregnancy and birthing of the two extremely different genetics of size between these two. The Standard Chin would actually be more to the size of the Dutch and if you are saying you want to breed these two, then again, I would say DON'T since we haven't a need for a Chinchilla Dutch rabbit mix. If you want a Dutch rabbit with that chinchilla color, then it is already out there in the rabbit world with breeders that you can buy from.
Otherwise, you get a MUTT. A Mix breed. A Heinz 57. There are no actual names for rabbits that are Mix breed other than just that, mixed breeds.Which breed of rabbit do you get when you cross a chinchilla with a dutch?
LOL, that like asking to cross a dog with a cat, absolutely impossible!
chindutchachilla
You would get a cross breed chinchilla or a cross bred dutch,the markings and variety all depending how strong the genetics are in both breeds.
your mom
A mix.
wow im not sure, never done that before i bred mini lops and lion lops, would it work? i dont no, if it did work maybe you would have trouble getting rid of the bunnys as they are not full breeds,
It is not a breed it is just a ';mutt'; or crossbreed.
When do i know when to take the male out of the cage when the girl rabbit is pregnant?
i saw my buck rabbit doing it with my doe about 2-3 weeks ago and now she is pulling her fur out in the run not in the cage and hasnt started to make a nest yet but i can see her tummy bulging so when do i need to start taking the buck out?When do i know when to take the male out of the cage when the girl rabbit is pregnant?
Now! You were meant to take him out the day you bred them after a couple of hours but it doesn't matter now, does it?
It seems like the deed has been done and she is definitely pregnant. She should have kittens in one week, avoid picking her up much and increase her food by 25%.
Hope I helped!

Why is my rabbit shedding so much?
my rabbit is about a year and few months old. a few months ago he was shedding a bit and had a bald spot with the hair grown back. now he's shedding a lot more then before and the spot is clean and part greenish. is he molting or is this just normal?Why is my rabbit shedding so much?
most rabbits molt 2x a year but some rabbits have a damage gene which causes them to shed ALL the time. the damaged gene was caused by inbreeding and theres really nothing that can be done about it.
just brush your bunn out and he should be fine. if he starts lossing his fur to were you see his skin you should take him to a vet and make sure he doesn't have mites or behavior problemsWhy is my rabbit shedding so much?
There are a couple of reasons for this.
1. There is a hormone in-balance which is causing your rabbit to moult heavily.
2. He could be suffering from the skin surface mite (Cheyletiella) which comes up as a mild dermatitis with mild red patches and will need treating with a mite injection by your vet
If you take your rabbit to the vet they can do a skin scraping and blood tests to determine the cause in the above cases.
3.Another reason for constant moulting is wrong living conditions caused by stress or by over heating.
If your rabbit lives indoors, central heating can cause stress and heavy un natural moulting.
In this case move the housing to a more suitable area away from central heating and at normal body temperature.
Its probably normal if this isn't the first time its happened but I would watch it carefully and make sure that your rabbit is just shedding and not pulling out the fur in that area. He could have like mites or some kind of skin parasite. But most likely he is just shedding with the changing of the seasons thats what mine do.
Sounds like a molt to me. I got really anxious the first time my rabbit did this too - the longer coat was shedding and leaving the short, darker undercoat in large patches on his sides. It's completely normal though.
he will be molting :) my rabbit did this he might be goin into his winter fur which makes him shed and get thicker fur
hope it make you stop worrying
:) xx
Yes as simple as that.
i think he may be molting. my rabbit is like this at the moment
My rabbit sheds with the changing of the seasons.... yours probably does too.

What should my rabbit's poop look like?
My rabbit's poop is generally round and dry. But it is sometimes soft, long and mushy. Is it normal? What does it mean? Do you have any advice?
PS: He also eats both kinds of poop but I know eating his own poop is normal.What should my rabbit's poop look like?
Soft, long poops might be cecal pellets if you only see them sporadically. These are normal, but sometimes aren't seen since they are eaten right away. Most of the time they come in a fat string and look like a tiny brown cluster of grapes. They are very soft and are sometimes in pretty long clusters. What should my rabbit's poop look like?
Well rabbits will pass hard rounded poops, which they don't eat and slightly softer rounded poops which they will eat. However, this doesn't sound like either. Poo eating is normal, basically a rabbit can't get all of the nutrients it needs from its food by eating it just once, so it eats it twice. Its normal and the cecal pellets (softer ones that it eats) provides it with essential nutrients.
It is likely that you are feeding him too much green veg or grass. These are very high in fibre and cause loose poo, so I would advise you too cut back on this and make sure he has lots of fresh water because if he's passing runny poops like this then he is also losing lots of water in them. I owned a rabbit in the past, at the moment I have guinea pigs, but this can also occur in them, with guinea pigs we keep them on a diet of pellets and hay for a few days until the mushy poo has cleared up, I'm not sure if this advice is approppriate for a rabbit, but I spose you can give it a try, and in the future don;t feed him so much green veg :)
Yes, eating poop is normal. They usually do this when they are hungry though. So maybe you aren't giving him enough veggies, hay, or his normal diet food. Rabbits can eat most veggies, but fruits are acidic, and you shouldn't feed them too much of this. That could cause diarrhea.
Poop should be round and dry most of the time, but if it's a different color, it usually indicates a change or he is sick. Most likely you probably just gave him something that didn't sit well, or changed his food.
If he randomly has diarrhea then you should only give him the hay and normal rabbit food for a while. Make sure he always has fresh water!
If the problem persists, call a vet and ask some questions on why this could be happening.
mine had the same problem.. do you feed allot of vegetables to them? because they are high fibre and also very watery they seem to affect them allot (especially a greedier rabbit!) it happened to mine.. only the one who was pretty greedy.and i suggested that be the reason and once the vegetables were cut down on it seemed the poos started going back to normal too. but you shouldn't over feed them vegetables anyway as it will make them VERY fat. also if it does eat ALLOT of veggies it sometimes makes them slightly less energetic than usual.
Good Luck x
they look like little round pellets. if its too mushy or soft you should take them to the vet because it could be signs of a problem with their digestive tract. Also, to clear their digestive tract they should eat lots of timothy hay (not alfalfa). Timothy is better for their bellies :)
As a general guide, a healthy rabbit should pass small, firm, dark, brown pellets through the day; night time poos are likely to be softer, less formed, less solid, and a slightly different colour (!). It is the night time poos they eat, to re digest and absorb the correct nutrients from.
Just like us though, they do vary from the 'rules'! lol
Hey! My bunnie had a bowel infection and it was kind of mushy.The best thing is to ask your vet it usually is just small brown hard balls....
Hope I Helped!
They are supposed to be rounded DRY balls...But mine has been haveing the same problem lately.
brown, small, and balls
black raisins
brown peas
small balls!!
