Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / March 2005

Just wanted to thank Christine  and all the others who gave me feed back on
www.bunnybale.com and the hay products they offer.  I got my order today
and you were right I could not believe how much hay it was in such a small
bale!  Again thank you all so much for the great advice!

Tussi seems to be a very determined little lady and when I relax on the
couch she seems to enjoy climbing on me.
However she has this tendency to "dig" and bite/pull at my clothes?  Is
there something she wants, or something I did wrong?

For those in the US, and especially on the East Coast...
I know lots of you use wood stove pellets as litter. I bought 10, 40lb bags
at Lowes this winter thinking it would last until next year. Well my
estimation was WAY off. Anyway, Lowes, HomeDepot etc do not carry these wood

For those of you who live on the east coast there is a new company (or new
to me anyway) selling premium hay. www.bunnybale.com . I think the hay
they sell is just as good as oxbows or APD, plus it is alot less messy to
handle.

I was wondering what are the symptoms of a bunny having a abscess? I ask
because my bunny has this strange line down the front of it face above his
nose. He's a Dutch so it's in the white part on his face. He has started a
heavy shed and I don't know if it's due to that and his hair ...

Can anyone tell me where I can get grass mats and untreated wicker that's
safe for my bunny? I am starting to have a real carpet digging and chewing
problem and that's not good for him or me because I live in an apartment.
Rabbitcentral had some, but they are out and I need some ...

I think the APR vibes are getting through!  
I was so scared to go and look in Ellie's room today.  I was worried
about what I'd find.  First thing this morning, there wasn't much
difference to how I'd put her to bed last night.  She was very keen

Mercury appears to no longer be an uppy eared bunny... His left ear is
getting more and more droopy.  Now today it has almost lopped. He looks
silly. haha! Cute, but silly.

Well, after Venus health scare last week I just thought I would post an
update.
Venus is back to full health for her and if anything is even better than
she was before she was sick.

I chaged Munchkin's page around a bit and added some more pictures of
her. I guess she'll be my Easter bunny this year, still can't stop
thinking about her.

Roger appears to have overcome whatever it was that got him. Rosie has been
a positive poop machine since Roger's down on one story now - and when it's
his out time he's being sure to return the favor.
I have no idea what was wrong with him - we've stopped the metacam and are

I have read a lot of fuzzy-rabbit and HRS about what is good for rabbits to
eat.
However the sites usually talk about plants with their common US names.
This makes it hard for me as most seeds here go by the plants Norwegian name

I don't know how many of you belong to any Yahoo groups (I belong to quite a
few), but they did a big overhaul of their look and IMO it is awful! Someone
started this online petition to get Yahoo to change everything back. Check
it out if you are interested.

Ellie's very sick.  I'm really not sure if she's going to pull through
and I'm absolutely beside myself.
It started yesterday when yesterday evening I had a feeling she wasn't
quite right.  She was eating OK (like a horse, in fact), no diarrhoea
