Rabbits/Expert Profile
Expertise
I have 4 house rabbits and experience with rabbit pregnancy, babies, bunny bonding, litter training, behavior training, cage and cage-free living, bunny proofing your home, basic health and diet, spaying/neutering, bunny talk, and bunny fun. I have neutered and spayed my rabbits and have dealt with amputations, broken bones, holistic pain management with rabbits so i can give you advice for surgery aftercare, BUT I am NOT a Veterinarian and cannot give you in depth answers on health, biology, or medicines.
If you suspect something is wrong with your rabbit please do not wait - go to the vet immediately. Signs include bleeding, broken bones, watery diarrhea, no poop for more than 12 hours, not eating/drinking, un-responsive/lethargic/listless behavior, screaming, constant LOUD teeth chatter. Be safe not sorry. Go to the vet!
I love rabbits and am here to help you have the best bunny experience you can with your pet. I deal only with pet rabbits and do not endorse hobby breeding/breeding for fun. I do NOT support breeding operations regardless of their purpose. My rabbits are valued members of my family. They live cage free.
Je parle français.
Experience in the area
With four house rabbits I have experienced everything from false pregnancy, to real pregnancy, obesity in rabbits, cold/dead kits, nursing baby rabbits and raising them to adulthood. I am also involved in the rescue rabbit rehoming project in my area. We help rescue rabbits find loving homes. I have come in contact with a lot of rabbit situations through this association.

I have two un-related bunny degrees. B.A. in Political Science and a B.F.A. in Graphic Design

Rabbits can live up to 10 years. Spending time with your rabbit - you just sitting on the floor and letting your rabbit come out of his cage on his own to smell and play with you would be best. Do

I don't think your rabbit is acting crazy. Your rabbit should be able to pass proper poop. If your rabbits bottom is covered in hardened poop it may not be you that your rabbit is reacting to but the pain

Bunnies means plural - how many and what sexes? Sometimes this can be a marker of territory - Do you have other pets in the house? I have two sets of rabbits and sometimes they can smell the other rabbits
