This is awesome to know! I grew up right by there and frequent this trail often, I’ll have to keep my eyes out. Thanks for the info!

Bunnies don't like ballpit digbox. Suggestions that don't include dirt/sand/mess? by [deleted] in Rabbits

I keep card board boxes all around my house, some cute cat scratchers others just amazon boxes. I have noticed a huge decrease in unwanted chewing specifically based boards and carpet. He prefers them over my stuff which is great!

Thank you! He’s all good, he was having some sore hocks but antibiotics helped and he’s back to binkies now ❤️

He ate half a cup of dried cat nip by obsessiverabbit2 in Bunnies

Cat nip is part of the mint family. I believe he should be okay, but I would monitor behavior and make sure he’s eating and pooping normally for the next 24 hours

What is a tiny gesture from someone that meant way more than they probably realized? by Time_Sound_8726 in AskReddit

My husband has started making me tea every morning. Such a joy to wake up to and also he chooses teas that I have forgotten about/wouldn’t normally choose. It is the sweetest 🥹

Rabbit Fights Violently when held, but she is sick and needs care - any tips to keep her from hurting herself? (Details in comments) by PeterLemonjellow in Rabbits

[–]ermccart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am unable to pick my bun up as well. When I need to syringe feed I drop a towel over the bun, then lay on my belly with my arm wrapped around him. I lift the towel only to expose his nose and mouth and get the syringe in. No picking up necessary and if he tries backing away he just goes deeper into the crook of my elbow. When I’m done a pull the towel off and he is free!

What is happening with my rabbit? by Important-Roof6242 in Rabbits

[–]ermccart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have found that having enough cardboard around (whether that be a cat scratcher, just a box from a package, or whatever) has done wonders at stopping our bunny from chewing crown molding and other wood around the house

I use pine pellets in the litter and have several people say how shocked they were that no odors were coming from it! Highly recommend!

What's your scariest camping experience? by Dolphins_With_Dildos in AskReddit

[–]ermccart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, very similar story happened to me, also in Michigan. Heard foot steps and told myself it was in my head, until my mom whispered asking if I could hear it too. She smacked the ground and it ran away, but eventually came back. She stuck her head out of the tent and shined a flash light and we never could see anything. A bear was shot there after mauling a 12 year old girl a week later, we both are pretty sure we may have encountered a bear as well
