Hello,i've decided to move my indoor bunny outside.I'm using my grow out chicken pen.It's has 2 in.thick insulation in the walls and floor.The floor isnt even(it was built with garage door sections) so i was wondering what i could use on the floor so she's comfortable.She's litter box trained so...

Hello,i was given 2-2 week old orphaned baby new zealands.(mom died i think from the heat) They are now 1 month and the vet said they should be out of the danger zone and should be ok.Well after raising these to,i've become attached.They are so cute and affectionate.I think they think im their...

I havent updated in a while,so i thought i should.The last 2 are doing great.If the people who gave them to me were some what accurate with their ages,they should be around a month old.The vet said if they make it a month,they should be fine.Still deciding if i should keep them.People around...

Thanks everyone.Its nice to talk to people who are like me with the animals.My dh's family think im nuts.:lau So far their poo's look ok to me.They both have pretty good appitites and drink water.They really dont show to much nterest in the pellets,but they seem to really love the quaker...

Thanks,i appreciate you saying so.I really didnt have alot of confidence she would make it but i tried.Still say something was going on in her hind end.Just didnt seem right.Im alot more confident about the other 2.I'll keep you all updated..

Bad news everyone.I just lost the little runt.Poor little thing had such a rough start,but at least i no i did every thing i could.I think she went peacefully in her sleep.:hit The other 2 seem to be going strong.

No,they like to sit in their food bowl.lol I have the waterer that hangs on the side.Before i put the litter in,i could see they were going potty.Just keeping an eye on the runt and crossing my fingers.:fl

Thanks so much,i'm doing my best.It worried me because the one i did loose had some thick slimy stuff coming out of his privates when he died.This is what i thought it was and had dried.I will definately keep and eye on her privates and keep them clean.

Finally got around to getting a pic of the three.I think the runt may have something wrong with her back legs.She seems kinda stiff when she move,and i had to soak her little private parts in warm soapy water.Her fur was stiff back there and i couldnt see how she could go potty.Oh well i'll just...

See another person helped.This site is great..:D

Thanks for all the info.No im definitely not trying to have a vet bill.Thats why i was asking you all.I couldnt imagine breeders taking all their rabbits to the vets.I also do not give any of my animals anything unless i no whats wrong and i usually get the vets input,but i've never dealt with...

I hear ya.We dont give the chickens anything unless we have to.Im just thinking if i end up keeping them i'll have to get them fixed.Ilove my vet,but sometimes they dont understand we are not made of money.I have alot of animals to take care of.I certainly didnt ask for these three babies,but if...

Pets,although i shouldnt really keep them,people will start calling me a hoarder..lol

Thanks,i will definately try to get some pics.I ended up buying the recycled biodegradable stuff at the pet store.Also my vet said he wanted to check them for parasite,whats everyones thoughts on that?

Iwanted to let you all no the babies are still doing great.I still havent seen the runt eat or drink,but i assume because she's still active and going to the bathroom that she must be eating and drinking some time,right? My shih tzu poo has become their nanny.lol He watches over them all the...

Thanks,i have them in hand towels and they seem perfectly content.The only one i havent seen eat or drink is the runt,but i dont get up until around 8 or so,so she could be eating early in the morning.So far so good.I'll keep everyone updated.I appreciate all the advice,keep it coming..:D

Thanks everyone.I actually ended up calling my vet.He told me to stop the formula and put pellets,oats and timothy hay n with them.The biggest one went for a little bit of everything,the middle sized one ate but hasnt drank yet,but the smallest one hasnt done anything yet,so im a bit worried...

Thanks for the advice.I think i will put food water and hay in with them.I guess the worse that can happen is they wont touch it...

I have 3 2week old orphaned babies,and im wondering when they can be introduced to pellets,hay and water? They are a larger meat breed that lost their momma to the heat.Thanks

Yes they are up and moving around,and their eyes are open.When should i start to introduce pellets and water? Also when should i add hay? I have 2 adult rabbits but i got them at 8 weeks so not sure what im doing hear.They wouldnt go near the nipple,seemed afraid of it.So i used a syringe.At 2...
