Calling All Rabbit Nutters

Ok I've been educated. It means r****d.

Here's the dummy I get to take care of for the weekend. His name is Buddy, he's my niece's pride and joy. She enters him in the fair and they did pretty good this year! Her family went up to their cabin for the weekend, usually they take him but didn't this time

I’m not mom but broccoli should be fed sparingly too...more random unsolicited advice heading your way.

And look up oxalates and rabbits - the veggies with those should be minimal. My go-to is organic red lettuce...they love it. Dandelion greens too - Whole Foods have them (other cheaper places may too), or you can pluck them out of your yard if you don’t use weed killer. I give mine a vitamin that I use a dropper in their water to give, and a probiotic mixed in with their pellets. Who knows if either are really necessary, but when bunnies have GI issues, they can be deadly so I think the probiotic is a good add. Speaking of which, keep some liquid gasex on hand and a tiny syringe.

When he starts to blow his coat, and actually you can do this every day or so anyway, brush him. When they blow the coat, if they ingest too much fur while cleaning themselves, it can cause an impaction.

So much to know about these little tiny animals!

@EmmaRainboe was actaully just sharing some great grooming products

Dried pineapples work good for their GI tract and help to keep their hair from getting to blocked up.

When he tinkled outside of the box earlier I soaked it up with the napkin and put the napkin in his litter box.
I just cleaned the litter box because that is too much poop for me.

So dumb. My heart's gonna explode.
