Calling All Rabbit Nutters

[ColtHandorf]

Yes. I'm going full on rabbit nuts this year.

Ironic since Trebacles can't go any sort of nuts now...

They each have J feeders

Is that what they are called? I always called them hoppers, or hopper-style.

Ah, well, my bunnies don't exactly look like supermodels when they're blowing their coats

Have you considered getting him a friend? Most of my bunnies won't "play" but rather enjoy lounging on the sofa or exploring. I do love having pairs tho because they usually do everything together and there's nothing more sweet and adorable than two bunnies grooming each other.
What kinds of hay have you tried?

I have thought about getting him a friend. I don't want babies or to put him through the process of getting snipped....so I thought about getting another boy but was worried about bullying, etc. Last summer the cats did a pretty good job of keeping him company but I guess the novelty has worn off and now they don't spend much time in the sunroom with him.

As for the hay, I had him on Kaytee brand Timothy when we first got him and he ate it fine. I switched to Dumor brand Timothy and he stopped eating it. I tried to switch him back to Kaytee but he refused it too. I've tried switching him to Chewy's Brytin brand Timothy but he isn't eating it either.

I haven't tried orchard grass yet. That would be my next option.....

This is kind-of an odd question, but I was curious, do rabbits make any noise? When I was little my parents used to say “make rabbit noises!“ when they wanted me to be quiet. I know they munch and crunch on stuff, but what about vocalizations? I was too lazy to look it up.

Yeah, another boy would either get castrated by Hazel or would try to castrate Hazel. Maybe a fixed girl will come up for adoption

Try horse timothy blocks. Mine love to knaw on them and they aren't as messy as hay. Orchard grass would be a good thing to try.

They scream when they're terrified. That's the only sound I've heard them make except for a deaf rabbit my sister had that would make these weird grunting noises.

They purr and scream. That's it.

When I was teaching my littlest the animal noises, a rabbit "sound" was just wiggling the nose.

They'll chitter their teeth at you. And Ginger the Mini Rex x Indominus Rex hybrid would growl at you.
