| 2009-10-14 | Claire | 10 | 9 | 7 | 10 | No | Thanks so much for the advice and the links. It is very helpful. His eye is doing much better with antibiotics and a small cone round his head to prevent him from scratching. They're already running the living room at different times so at least I know I'm on the right track. Appreciate it! :) |

| 2009-09-30 | Heather | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much -- I am in the process of trying some of these great tips out. I just bought a smaller food bowl, which attaches to the side of the cage. Thankfully, it seems to have eliminated about 90% of the problem -- no more pee in the bowl, and no poops. Oddly enough, bun doesn't pee outside the litter area (and didn't outside of her former food dish), so that is a plus. I was a little concerned about her eating the food with pee on it, but fortunately, she can't fit her little hiney in it anymore! The poops I am not quite as worried about, although she will randomly go in other parts of the cage. Yes, bun does have a hay rack hanging over the litterbox area ,which she will sit and munch at each day. I had not given much thought to the litter pellets -- I still have quite a bit Feline Fresh left (it's a bit expensive), but once it's gone I could maybe try the other. I forgot to mention that we have an IRIS rabbit cage, so the litter area is actually down in a built in high-walled area, with ..... |

| 2009-09-10 | Stephanie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much. You explained everything so thoroughly. ☺ I appreciate your good answers. |
| 2009-09-10 | Tracie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your response. That was very helpful, and I did actually febreeze to get the smell out and also I used carpet deoderizer - neither of which I though of so that in itself may be the problem. I will use all of your suggestions. Very much apprecieted! Have a great day! |
| 2009-09-07 | Stephanie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your wonderful answer. The carpet in front of the door was a good idea. It had the added benefit that now I can see his pills where before on my brown carpet I usually stepped in it first. I bought two baby gates, since I could not quickly find one very high one. It works very well. In addition I put a knee-high cardboard box in front of the door when it is open, so the rabbit cannot see a dog walking by. That also works really well. The knocking on the door works two ways now, it is quite funny. When he is behind the door, the knocking will make him move out of the way. It doesn’t scare him like I thought it might. He just walks around the door as I open it, towards me. When he is somewhere else, he will come running to me, as I open the door. On Saturday night he slept away from the door, under the table. There was a severe thunderstorm at night, so I checked on him. He was still in the same place and seemed fine. In the morning he was sitting behind ..... |

| 2009-08-25 | Christina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much :) I'ts okay that they can't be play mates, I was just wondering because I heard that if you get one bunny, it can get lonely and die. But thats okay, because my mom decided that she now wants two bunnies. A female and a male. Thank you very much for your opinion :) |
| 2009-08-21 | Christina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much! :) |

| 2009-07-10 | Chris | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so very much for your considerate, reassuring and timely response. We picked up his remains, which was difficult, and will do our best to move on with our decision and the suddenness of the end of his life. You have helped greatly. |
| 2009-07-07 | Suzie | 10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | No | Thank-you for your response. I have taken your advice and many others and found another very rabbit-savvy vet a little distance away. She is working with Ben right now and he is coming around. |

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.
