	RE: Myth or fact? Posted By FrankieFlash on 02/06/2012 09:35 PM Oh my gosh you guys I totally jinxed it. He's been circling us still and its super cute still but if we let him circle for a while we notice a strong BAD odor.

	RE: Problem!! Posted By Elrohwen on 02/07/2012 02:50 PM I think it's a shame when people assume poor treatment of animals must be the best for them. If someone said "I keep my horse in my living room" I would be shocked, but I wouldn't say "Oh, all horses need i ... by BB in THE LOUNGE on 02/07/2012 03:06 PM
	RE: Problem!! This is not uncommon. I have come across so many people who just are in a completely different world when it comes to their view of having House Rabbits -- or just rabbits as pets, like a cat or dog. And those people will think we are just out to l ... by BB in THE LOUNGE on 02/07/2012 03:09 PM
	RE: Our new little bunnies... (Kafrn and JG) I'm sorry to hear of the loss of Pekoe. You have done some much to try and save them, and so I am sure that was very difficult. Binky Free Pekoe.

	RE: would you trust these people with your rabbit? I agree that those plastic covers would offer protection. Go check it out and talk to them about your concerns. I think though they sound like a great option. I"ve boarded my bunnies before with the house rabbit society and they took such good ca ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/05/2012 10:30 AM
	RE: any advice on picking up rabbit? I need to make a correction.... i failed to say with my left hand, I scoop them up. So the sentence should have read, "I first pet the bunny, then with my right hand (I am right handed) I gently pin down shoulders while with the LEFT hand, I scoop ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/04/2012 11:10 PM
	RE: Blood still in urine-been on meds for about a month now Is it a symptom of urine sludge? Jack did have blood in his urine but it was due to bladder stone. He had it removed and though we dealt with sludge, we were able to keep it at tolerable levels with sub q fluids and diet changes. And he did not have blood in his urine after that. ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/05/2012 10:33 AM
	RE: Dangerous Thumping & Running When he was checked out by the vet, was this issue brought up or was it just a regular check up? Deaf or blind bunnies may not be overtly obvious unless the vets attention has brought to it. If you move something in front a blind bunny can be not ... by BB in BEHAVIOR on 02/04/2012 10:47 PM
	RE: Jelly - Tooth root abscess / update LHM - This is what they did for Rucy with her first two abscesses. Though some do say the beads may not help, Rucy was abscess free for two years by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/04/2012 10:29 PM
	RE: Jelly - Tooth root abscess / update This was a long time ago so if I am remembering right I don't think it was obvious to me. I do remember though that my vet at the time attributed it to previous nasty abscesses and the fact that part of her jaw bone was scraped (not sure of right t ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/04/2012 10:05 PM
	RE: Health Question! Help Please! Im having a hard time getting visually orientated with that photo...are you talking about the little white bumps?

	RE: Water Bottle!!! I also use crocks. I don't worry about fur because there is enough space for mine to roam and they rarely get fur or other debris in the water dish. However, if due to confinement and/or you have a problem with your bunny getting a bunch of gunk i ... by BB in DIET & CARE on 02/03/2012 10:37 PM
	RE: any advice on picking up rabbit? Jack hated being picked up and if you didn't let him down after about 20 seconds, he give you a nasty bite. Jack was a bigger bunny (not huge) but around 8 - 9lbs. It's much harder when you have to pick up a bunny from a cage set--up, but regar ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 10:20 PM
	RE: Myth or fact? Posted By bunpooperpants on 02/03/2012 09:54 PM My Bighead still circles and honks as much as he did before he got neutered. I did receive a circle spray once from him (on his first day home from the shelter). He now sprays by the litter bin wal ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 10:05 PM
	RE: Nail trimming video As Sarita said, you do have to buy the video as it is for purchase only -- but I have watched that video and it did really work. It teaches you how to trim bunny nails with out turning your bunny on its back. Instead it is a more stress free way fo ... by BB in DIET & CARE on 02/03/2012 10:02 PM
	RE: Cleaning anal glands? Posted By Pandorachik on 02/02/2012 02:18 PM I have actually never cleaned mines out because he does it himself. He can actually clean the little anal pockets out by himself??? by BB in DIET & CARE on 02/03/2012 09:48 PM
	RE: Lady's sick maybe. So typical! The moment that bunnies find out they are going to the vet....they stop pulling the "sick" trick. It's happened to me where Rucy would make me worried for one thing or another, I would drag her to the vet for her to act perfectly fine, ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 09:44 PM
	RE: Is catnip bunny-safe? My understanding catnip is it is a mint, and it is also non-toxic (though I don't know about it in the fresh form???). I have never tried it with my own bunnies but the link that led to Dana Krempels' explanation says that most bunnies don't l ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 09:42 PM

	RE: Nibbler is getting spayed tomorrow! If you said your vet though said to give tonight, then that's okay. They may have only given pain meds that would last to the end of the day, which is why they suggested tonight. Is it that you just aren't sure they said give tonight or just many ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 09:19 PM
	RE: Jelly - Tooth root abscess / update Rucy had thinning bone on one side --- so much so that it easily got a hairline fracture during a nasty little fight between her and Bailey. It healed okay and I think it was then that I discontinued trying to bond them indefinitely. I am also no ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 09:11 PM
	RE: Question about peeing out the litter box? It's so strange because different bunnies react in different ways. Vivian rarely pees on her beds and blankets, but my previous bunny Bailey peed on soft bedding every time, and sometimes Rucy would too. Jack wouldn't pee so much on his bedding bu ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 08:45 PM
	RE: Lady's sick maybe. That is good about the poops. Keep us updated about her eyes. Could be just an irritant or a clogged duct -- hopefully it is something simple. by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 08:40 PM
	RE: Nibbler is getting spayed tomorrow! Posted By Nibbler on 02/03/2012 08:24 PM Haha yes around the time I knew the procedure was going on I could not focus at all!

	RE: Any way to tell if a female bun has been spayed? I don't know about the tattoo in the ear as some bunnies have tattoos from breeders which has nothing to do with neutering/spaying. Bailey was spayed before I got her by the San Francisco Animal Care and Control and they somehow added a permanent b ... by BB in HOUSE RABBIT Q & A on 02/03/2012 08:19 PM
	RE: Alfie has Crossed the Rainbow Bridge What a cute bunny Alfie was. I know it has been a torturous and heartbreaking week for you.
