 I can answer questions about rabbit care, especially rabbit grooming, body language, training, and feeding. I don't breed rabbits, but I rescue and foster them, which may be helpful to some people who have questions about that. When I got my first rabbit, Couture, I spent months researching and reading all I could about rabbits and everything they do, including their relations to the wild rabbits you can still see today. <br><br> I don't condone rabbit breeding, especially for food, fur and pet stores, and cannot answer questions about that. I have also experimented with several brands of rabbit toys .....

 I can answer virtually any question on rabbits regarding health, behavior or nutrition. My specialties are issues related to GI problems, issues related to head tilt (wry neck), advanced treatment of severe infections (abscesses) and treatment of E Cuniculi infections. As a rescue, I am unable to answer questions related directly to breeding
