My 3 year old dutch rabbit Eddie just died! It was really sad, he was probably the nicest rabbit ever not to mention brave. He would love to be held and pet and he was great with kids. He would jump into my arms when I opened his cage and I would sometimes hand feed him cheetos. Just last year when I let him run in his pen in our back yard when I was gone a hawk came down and snatched him up. He was struggling and eventually fell, he had a giant gash on his neck and an ulcer on his eye everyone thought he wouldn't make it, even the doctors, but my Eddie made it! He died 7-21-11 from my plott hound Sophie who chased him in 100 degrees and he eventually had a heart attack :( I miss him! I also have another dutch Bonnie (black and white and 2 years old) Willow (tan and white less than a year) and willow has 4 babies Pancake, Squirt, Sugar, and Pippi (pip).
A white lionhead named Maisy who has 3 babies which are a dutch and lionhead mix named Pepe, Romeo, and Humpfrey (is that how you spell it?).

You have a houseful.

I'm very sorry to say your rabbit just died. Mine died in June and he was a really soft white rabbit called Peter. I'd had him since I was 6. I've had him a few years, more than half my life and he got cancer and we had to put him to sleep because he was in pain and suffering. We had some great times together-rabbits make great pets. Eddie sounds so nice-oh my gosh how awful! I miss my rabbit loads too, but I'm glad you have some more. Rabbits are amazing pets and I highly recommend them to everyone :)

Do lion heads live in Melbourne? And are they allowed to live in Melbourne? If they do, please post a "Link" with Lionhead bunnies for sale. Since my daughter's bunny died, She wants a "lion head" bunny. I can't find any results for lion head bunnies in Melbourne..

I recently had an accidental mating between our new mini rex which was supposed to be male but I didnt double check and my lionhead buck Mufassa.. If you are still looking for a bunny they will be available in 10 weeks. I live in Vero Beach Florida and go to Melbourne frequently. Flwrgrl0224@yahoo.com

How long do STO's live? A couple of days ago, I noticed my STO wasn't eating and now she seems to be wobbly if she tries to walk. I have made a vet appointment but can't get in until late tomorrow morning. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Their life expectancy is about 5 years. Keep her warm. Put a heating pad on low wrapped in a towel under the cage. You can place drops of pedialyte water or gator aid on her tongue to try and keep her from dehydrating.
Janice - 2012-09-07
Thank you. She's already at the vet now and they gave her fluids and will continue to do so to see if she will eat. They did mention Pedialyte if I took her home but I left her there. I did see on this website that they live 4-8 years. We'll see how she does--will let you know :)

Well, my rabbit, Alice she was pregenet and we didnt know, but she started getting so mean, and she just had her babies at 2:12 pm and we finally realized she was being so mean becauuse she was pregnant, I hope this helps(:
Charlie Roche - 2012-02-26
I don't understand the question.
Erin - 2012-03-01
Sam, Was she possibly in labor or did she have her babies shortly after she was acting funny? Sometimes my does will act funny. Sometimes aggressive or extra lovey and sometimes they don't want to be touched.

I have a fuzzy Holland lop with cottony hair... What is the best brush to use to get the tangles out?

I don't know what 'best is' but I liked a reular womans hairbush with the metal bristles and the rubber tips on the metal bristles. Less expesive, easier to hold and worked just great.
Erin - 2012-10-19
I have lionheads and I really like those slicker brushes with the bent wire bristles.

Thats great! I've just got my 4 week old rabbit and am busy training it to use the box by putting him in regularly. Any tips how you did it?

Sad to say,my bun Fuzz is now in heaven. :( But I can tell you how I litter trained her: I put the box where she did her business:) and she eventually learned to go in the box!

Rest in Peace, Fuzz
Mariah - 2011-08-27
Its so sad to hear of dear Fuzz...I hope you do get another one and also enjoy her as much! My potty-trained bunny has taken to spraying in the house and with sadness I say that I have to banish him outside.
Rest in peace, Fuzz...

Yep, they are.

I have several mini lops but I expecially like my little 3 week old broken black female. I raised her since she was 1 week old. She is fully lopped and is so cute. she follows me around and I have started to litter train her. I named her Muffin and recommend a mini lop to every one who likes cute adorable things. Mini Lops are very cute rabbits.
