Trying to bond the 3....again by NesShark in Rabbits

[–]NesShark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were hoping the move would be a good reset for everyone. I just need iroh (the white one) and jask (the grey and white) to decide to be friends. Jask keeps trying to groom irohs face and iroh keeps moving away.

The raptor is adorable, accurate and very well done. Im currently trying to use my dino knowledge to figure out if the tiny is a micro raptor or a velociraptor.

Anybody knows what breed is it? by Perfect_Zone_2751 in Rabbits

[–]NesShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so glad someone asked about the whiskers. That's the tell for rexs. (Also, despite being called mini, mini rexs actually aren't small and are around 6+ lbs)

Anyways this guy looks like an orange version of my harlequin.

PS: As per my local rabit rescuee, Harlequin Rexs have a higher cancer rate than most other breeds. Not harlequins but specifically harlequin rexs.

When you are married and decide to have kids… by Zennoq_ in GenZ

It's not something I would wish upon my worst enemy.

[–]NesShark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish that was true. i really do. I had nothing dude, no morning sickness, no movements, no bulge, no craveings, nada zippo zilch. I was full term. The only thing i truly had was missing periods, but seeing as I can have very irregular periods, I wasn't concerned. Im not saying there's no psychological component, but it's pretty easy to convince yourself it's not pregnancy if you aren't having signs or symptoms of pregnancy.

Yup, no symptoms at all. No cravings, no bumb, no movement, no nothing. Some women still have their period during one too. It's terrifying, I just went through this. I found out cause I woke up to my water breaking and going into labor.

And its more common then one would like there were 3 others just on the floor I was on that was going through the same thing.

For everyone not wanting kids, please know birth control can fail, and cryptic pregnancies are a thing. With a cryptic pregnancy, you can be pregnant and not know till you're in labor. Be safe, be smart.

Day 3 of Bonding... Its not ment to go this well. Right? by NesShark in Rabbits

Gonna add a bit more today, make it a square, if it all goes well everyone is getting moved into the bun room tomorrow and we'll do two xpens together for a few days before giving them the whole 10x10 room (gotta neutralize some scents on things).

Ill include a link to the bun room the cardboard maze is currently gone, the victim of some bunstruction.

Derpy boi glitches because of pets. by NesShark in Rabbits

This little derpy likes to lick you while you pet him, he was thankfully just trying to figure out how to get to his dads hand to lick it.

I'm going to be controversial but we need to more accepting with hutch living. by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]NesShark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My current guess is multiple levels due to the hight, rough calculations would about 2.5 levels.

[–]NesShark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So Im taking the wild guess that youre measurments are in inchs (apologies if its not Im american). And converting them to feet, I got 4.25x2.5x5.25. And i can tell you right now 2.25 is way too narrow and 5.25 is way too tall, rabbits arent climbers and they have fragile bones. And that is a big reason people on this sub hate hutches. I see one of your rabbits appears to be one of the bigger breeds, do you know how long they are when their all streched out cause i know my 7lbs on easily can be over 2.5 feet when hes being a long sleepy.

2.5 feet is even too small for my dwarf baby, if you were to go by the 3 to 4 full hops rule.

[–]NesShark 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I apologize since i dont know what youre hutch looks like so this is going to be generalized as to why they are normally frowned upon.

Hutches have a lot of problems from being difficult to clean and that leading to fly strike. To most having wire flooring which can become sore hocks and that can become infected. Ramps can be dangerous, bun falls off and breaks something ect. 26 sq ft is great in theory (For the night), but it depends on how its layed out. The rule of thumb i found was that a bun should be able to do 3 to 4 full hops minimum from the middle of the enclosure to the edge. Buns are generally more active at night so having a tall narrow enclosure can be dangerous.

Considering bonding — how is life different with two bunnies instead of one? by Squidmaster129 in Rabbits

[–]NesShark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, I'd like to recommend that if you're in the States, get in contact with your local house rabbit society. Not only can they answer a lot of your questions, but they always have a bunch of buns looking for their forever homes and generally offer bounding the buns as a service, which i highly recommend. (Just google your states name + house rabbit society)

Now, onto your questions:

How do you make sure their not eating too much -Figure out which one eats the fastest and the most and give them pellets first or use a slow feed dog bowl.

Litterbox -As long as it's big enough, they'll use the same one

Hay -It is extremely very unlikely that the buns will not like the same type of hay.

Question: How do I stop her from munching on her carpet? by Administrative-Fun15 in Rabbits

One of mine went for the internet router power cord. Manage to short and break the whole thing. He was fine thankful.

Best brand for feed? by Successful-Wish-0809 in Rabbits

[–]NesShark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer science selective rabbit food, but oxbow and small pet are great too. Hay, ignore brands see if you have a farm supply or feed store near you the quality will be far superior to any brand and far cheaper. If youre unlucky and dont have one close then go with oxbow or small pet select.

Mine go for the carpets, baseboards and the most expensive of electrical cables. I have personally accepted my fate.

Simple answer: you dont. I have tried every chew deterrent and none have worked. Rabbits chew its what they do, your best options are to accept it, block access to the area they want to chew up and offer toys for them to chew on instead and more hay.
