sneezing rabbit

feeds@yuku.com (roadired) — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:57:20 GMT

Help! I just bought by GD a young bunny at the sale barn. Coat looks luster and full eating well drinking well. Does have an occ. sneeze. Doesn't seem ill except for the sneeze. Nose isn't runny. It did have to drink from a bowl the first 3 days here. Now we have a bottle any reason for concern? Please let me know as rabbits are new to use. Thanks, Renae

A couple of weeks ago, I went out to pick up Zoo supplies and this "little" fella had been dumped at the shop. He was in a 10g fish tank ...couldn't even turn around good, much less stretch out all the way.. and of course, my "Lollipop" kicked in. LOL
I named him after one of my professors.. Giorgi! I didn't tell her, though ....so shhhh! k?

Everyone knows about the chicken tracrors....but why not a rabitt one? Can they not be on the ground or is it that maybe they could dig out? I have an inlaw with bunnies on the ground in the yard and they do good

Lionhead Rabbits

feeds@yuku.com (Tyson and Perdue) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:40:04 GMT

I would like to buy a lionhead baby rabbit. I live in New Jersey (near Great Adventure). My husband and I love all animals and we both fell in love with the Lionhead rabbit because of its small size, looks and mellow temperament. We will be keeping it indoors with the possibility of showing it. I do not want to buy from a pet store.

Does anyone know of any lionhead breeders in NJ, PA or NY (or surrounding areas)???? Thank you.

what diseases can rabbits and chickens share?

feeds@yuku.com (patandchickens) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:07:35 GMT

Working on a magazine article, but am basically ignorant about rabbits (tho the ones I've met I've really liked... we have too many housecats though...). So, I keep reading that rabbits and chickens can get some diseases from each other (esp. chickens giving things to rabbits) but am having heckuva time finding out exactly WHAT. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Thanks!,

Ducks and Rabbits

feeds@yuku.com (unclejay) — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 23:52:45 GMT

Ok I'd really like to have a couple Rabbits in with our ducks for our girls to enjoy. What problems might I have to worry about? Will they get along? Will the rabbits dig out and let the ducks out as well? What about feeding them since they will both have access to both food sources? It'd be adorable to look out and see bunnies and duckies playing together but quite something else to explain to my 3 year old why that duck just pecked out the bunnies eye. Please advise.

Is it okay....

feeds@yuku.com (P0U1TRYP3RS0N) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:31:28 GMT

Is it okay for me to put my english lop (Ramona), the one who had the abcess removed last month, with my other bunnies now? The vet said wait a couple weeks after she went off meds to see if the abcess would come back, then it would be alright to put her near the other rabbits. He also said if it was pasteurella it would try to come back after she went off antibiotics, and it's healing (knock on wood). It's been almost two weeks since she finished her...

Help with Guinea Pig, Please

feeds@yuku.com (newchickenmomma) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:57:03 GMT

Hi all, my daughter got a few guinea pigs from someone about a month and half ago or so, they are a bit older and I need to find out a few things. I have never had guinea pigs before. We have a long hair and a short hair. Male and female, but the male is fixed.

1. Do guinea pigs shed ALOT, like nonstop all the time. I cleaned out the cage today and I could not believe the amount of hair that was mixed in with it.
2. The male I noticed seems to be wheezing quite a bit, but is...

Underbite???

feeds@yuku.com (iluvmychicks) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:23:28 GMT

I have a 4 month old Lionhead buck that has an underbite. His lower jaw literally sticks out further then the top creating what looks to me like an underbite. His teeth are not able to wear down naturally because of the way his bottom jaw sits. I do not plan on using him for breeding, but selling him as a pet. In the mean time I would like to do something about his teeth. Is there a way to cut them or file them down?? Or should I just leave it??? I was also wondering where this fault comes...

ABCESS! HELP!

feeds@yuku.com (P0U1TRYP3RS0N) — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:30:04 GMT

I bought a english lop doe at a small stock show on saturday. I noticed saturday afternoon she had an abcess (my fault for not checking her before I bought her ). I talked to the person I bought her from Sunday and she offered to take bunny back and give me my money back....But I just couldn't give her back- english lops are so hard to find. She said just use an injectable- L.A 200.
Someone experienced in rabbits lanced it for me yesterday, and it doesn't feel "hot" anymore....

what type of rabbits will/can defend themselves?

feeds@yuku.com (poison1981) — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:41:06 GMT

My cats are really tough coons possems skunks foxes hawks all respect them and give them a wide birth

anyways my neibours rabbit was killed by a possem! I was shocked I didnt think a possem would go after a full grown rabbit, they heard screaming in the shed and caught a possem in the act!

Anyways i know my cat can give a possem a good beating they wont even go near her so everything works out great but I wonder is there a rabbit that can co exist with all these predators? A...

rabbits free ranging with chickens

feeds@yuku.com (poison1981) — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:27:20 GMT

anyone here let their rabbits out on their land along with chickens?

A farmer nearby here does it i was shocked they had at least 100 rabbits free ranging all kinds of colors! Anyone else seen this done? How do you get the rabbits to come in at night? OR not run away? I guess they stay near the feed? BUt what about the winter?

Mini Rex/Velveteen lop cross?

feeds@yuku.com (P0U1TRYP3RS0N) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 13:49:05 GMT

I have a pair of velveteen lops that have been bred twice. Neither time did the doe take, and I think she may be sterile. I also have a mini rex doe. I was thinking about maybe breeding the mini rex to the velveteen lop buck? The velveteen is pretty small (4 LBS) and the Mini Rex is big (6 LBS). She had one litter this past summer and was a really good mama. I'm just wondering, is a velveteen too big to cross with a mini rex? Opinions please!
Oh, and the reason I would breed them is I...

Anyone ever had a rabbit with a prolapsed rectum?

feeds@yuku.com (P0U1TRYP3RS0N) — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 22:22:19 GMT

One of my mini rex starting showing signs of prolapsed rectum at just two months old. She got better but then relapsed a couple weeks ago and past away. I'm wondering if anyone else has ever had a rabbit with prolapsed rectum, and if so did they live? How common is it?

What's the best breeding age of a Mini Rex?

feeds@yuku.com (P0U1TRYP3RS0N) — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 22:18:34 GMT

You may remember that my Mini Rex had a litter last July, and the doe I kept (I kept two but one died of a prolapsed rectum) is now almost 5 months old. What is the best breeding age for a Mini Rex?

first winter with my outdoor bun, tell me everything

feeds@yuku.com (kellyfg) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 12:24:39 GMT

here on Long Island we will be at or below freezing starting in a few weeks. I have one large mixed breed buck. He's a year old & has been living outside in a large hutch inside my chicken run since spring.
The hutch has an indoor area with a solid floor, I keep trying to put different types of bedding in there for him to snuggle up with but he keeps moving it all out.
I'm very worried about his water freezing, any tips on that?
Also are there any changes I can make to his diet...

Tattooing?

feeds@yuku.com (P0U1TRYP3RS0N) — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:06:18 GMT

I just bought a tattoo kit and have been trying to tattoo five of my rabbits. I didn't press hard enough the first time and the ears healed and you couldn't tell they were ever tattooed. The second time the same thing happened- even with my brother punching the tattoo pliers as much as he could. They left a series of dots in the ear, but no blood.
Also, has anyone every had a bunny scream while tattooing? My little holland did and I am so upset I don't think I can ever tattoo...

Expecting babies soon...UPDATE

feeds@yuku.com (mothergoose) — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 16:23:53 GMT

We have 2 mini lop does that are due soon. Lily is pulling fur, so it is getting close.
We also have 2 guinea pigs that are over halfway there. Due the 2nd week of November.
I will let you know how things go!
