What are some good tips to make a rabbit feel comfortable on its back? I have a large and very strong Harlequin rabbit who doesn't enjoy the trance thingy
Hi HappyBerryShortcake, after getting your rabbit on her back, you can try stroking her head while telling her that everything will be alright. After that, you can covering her eyes with a towel. Note though that you should not have your rabbit in this position for long periods of time - only have her in this position for the required grooming session.
I love you Teeny!! You are the only decent person I can find out in this careless world! You explain everything I need! By the way, I love your rabbits! They are adorable! My story is that I had a rabbit named Caro and either a racoon took her or she got out of the cage. I was very upset and couldnt find Caro anywhere! Its been 8 days since. Im getting a new Mini Holland Lop soon and need great advice and your my hero!! Thanks!!
Thanks doogi2009! =) If you're thinking of getting a rabbit, do consider adopting one from your local shelter instead of buying a rabbit as when you adopt a rabbit, you're actually saving 2 rabbits - the one you adopt and the one that takes its place in the foster home/ shelter.
@epicdoctorwho Hi epicdoctorwho, most rabbits can be tranced like how I tranced Sugar. However, I do need to stress that you should not have your rabbit in this position for long periods of time - only have her in this position for the required grooming session as even though they look rather relaxed, they are actually not.
@epicdoctorwho Because she has tranced him/her. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE DONE UNLESS ITS TO ADMINISTER IMPORTANT MEDICAL TREATMENT. It doesnt mean that the rabbit is sleeping/relaxed. It is an extreme fear response, the rabbit is terrified, not relaxed. If a rabbit in the wild cant escape, hide or run away. What do they do? FREEZE
@Deathenally Hi Deathenally, do visit your local shelter and adopt a rescued rabbit instead of buying one. Because when you adopt a rabbit, you're actually saving 2 lives - the one that you are adopting and the one that can take it's place at the shelter.
@destroyer0700 Hi, rabbits (prey animal) dislike being picked up (liken to being caught by a predator). Sometimes thou, we do need to pick them up (for grooming, vet visits etc). It being something ur rabbit doesn't like, we need to be patient & gentle - so ur rabbit will trust u & let u do it with minimal stuggling. 1st pick ur rabbit up supporting her butt & bring her close to ur body. Then, flip her over quickly & hold her close to ur body - stroking her head at e same time to reassure her.
@MANIACMONKEYSKB Hi MANIACMONKEYSKB, it's best not to overhandle your rabbit when she's pregnant - for fear of injuring mother & babies. FYI, rabbits are also a little more aggressive when they are pregnant. As the gestation period is only 1 month, you can hold off the grooming till she has delivered. Simple grooming (when she's on all fours) like brushing her fur could still be done while she's pregnant. Do sterilize your rabbit after delivery to prevent future unwanted litters.
trancing is really bad for your rabbit. they go into the trance because they're scared and in turn they can have a heart attack or even freak out and snap their spines.
it is NOT nice to trance your rabbit. what teeny says is "relaxed" is the rabbit playing dead. the position her rabbit is in is what bunnies do in a state of EXTREME FEAR. PLEASE do not trance your rabbit! it is not a pleasant experience for your pet.
@1MikalaB Hi 1MikalaB, you're right that this trance position is the rabbit is "playing dead". Rabbits do this when they get caught by a predator so that the predator, thinking the rabbit is dead, will loosen it's grip on it - it's then that the rabbit can try to escape. Trancing is NOT recommended to be done everyday (as say a bonding experience), but might be necessary to clean/ groom your rabbit or perform health checks on it if it doesn't stay still in other positions.
@1MikalaB Hi 1MikalaB, as mentioned, it's not recommended to be done everyday (or for long periods at a time), but when you need your rabbit still and not struggling (for when you need to groom them, apply medication etc), it is a solution. If of course, you can keep your rabbit from wriggling around/ moving around in other ways (on all 4s), by all means. Just sharing my experience as tracing works for Sugar (who's really finicky). =)
@garrison0395 u can bath him but only do it if u have to u can do it with water or you can buy dry bunny shampoo which is like a powder and u put some on them and then brush them hope this helps
@garrison0395 Hi, you can wet a towel with warm water and gently wipe him down. Be sure to dry him thoroughly after (with a dry towel - NOT with a hair dyer as you might burn him) as they can catch chills easily. Rabbits should never be bathed as it stresses them out.
please just tell me HOW DID U MAKE UR RABBIT SO TAME?? mine is a 9 week old dwarf lionhead, he is constantly scared, but would allow me to pet him and pick him up to take him out of the cage.. thats pretty much it. He wont sit still like the rabbit in the video, and i can never groom his tummy/chest which is getting all entangled.. if i lift him up in my arms he panics and there is no way i can turn him on his back, he starts kicking and wriggling.:( WHAT TO DO????
@sektion1 Hi, it's normal 4 rabbits 2 b easily scared as they r e prey animal. & to feel uncomfortable when picked up (as they r ground loving). To minimize their stress, pick em up only when necessary - when u need 2 groom em, bring em to e vet etc. To calm ur rabbit down when u have 2 pick him up, immediately bring him to ur chest firmly (but gently) & stroke his head n reassure him. When he's not struggling, flip him over quickly (wif confidence - as animals can sense it if u r not). Gd luck!
@sektion1 Hello, I have a rabbit to, before you pick your bunny up, show him you hands, you have to build trust as well on the floor and let your bunny investigate you and climb on you (mine now has piggy back rides) also you have to make you bunny feel secure, the reason why they don't like being picked up is because in the wild being picked up means being eaten. look on you tube how to pick up a bunny. :)
i just got my rabbits a few days ago and they seem to hate me..they are quite big when i got them around 4-5months old...i had a baby bunny once for 12 years but it passed away and it did not seem to hate me...how do i solve this:(?
@greenappleiceblended Hi greenappleiceblended, your rabbits seem to be aggressive due to them reaching maturity (4-6 months old). Neutering or sterilizing will help make them less aggressive. Rabbits should never be bathed as this stresses them out. Rabbits keep themselves (and they living area) very clean (as they are fastidious creatures). Just ensure that you keep their living area clean and that they are on a healthy diet of unlimited hay, fresh green veges, good quality pellets and water.
hi, Im 14 and want to get a rabbit, i am going to call it thumper just like the rabbit in bambi, can you get them to come to you by calling there name, and can they go up/down stairs?
@fatlizzard19 hi! I'm 15 and got a rabbit in November when I was 14, so if you have any other questions on rabbits, feel free to ask! And my rabbit comes to me when I call him or make noises. Also, it depends on how large the rabbit is for whether or not they can climb stairs. But I would recommend keeping them on one level anyway, since it takes alot of energy for them to climb stairs and they might trip since they hop instead of walking. (:
@fatlizzard19 Hi fatlizzard19, as TheMadiTv mentioned, rabbits r intelligent enuf to beained to come when called. Reward your rabbit (with healthy treats, strokes on the head & praise like "Good boy!") every time he comes to u when u call his name. He will soon associate this action positively. Rabbits like to hop up on platforms (not too high) as it makes life a little more interesting - just ensure that the surface is not slippery and there is enough room on the step for all his 4 feet.
hi teeny, i just want to ask regarding my bunnies. i just worried about my 3 months old bunny coz he have a flakes in his eye lids. is it a mites or skin problem? what should i do? can this flakes affects my other 2 bunnies, which is one is 2 months and the other is 1month old? thank you
@rynclint26 Hi rynclint26, scratchy, flaky skin (with bald patches) is usually a symptom of mites, but to be sure, you should bring your bunny to a rabbit-savy vet. And yes, if it's a case of mites, your 3 month old bunny can spread it to the other 2.
@bobcar714 Hi bobcar714, to get your rabbit in the trance position, first, pick your rabbit up carefully (supporting his chest under his arms & butt) and hold him close to ur body (to make him feel secure) in a cradle position (like u wld hold a baby with the rabbit's face facing the ceiling). After ur rabbit is more calm, sit down comfortably (I like to stretch my legs out in front of me and put a towel on my lap) and lay ur rabbit carefully between ur thighs. Good luck!
@fezirezmy Hi fezirezmy, I'm not sure what that is but rabbits do not secret crystal gel-like substances. When in doubt, do pls bring your rabbit to the vet.
@NatCat1997 Hi NatCat1997, I would suggest brushing her with with a fairly wide toothed (so you don't yank at her fur) bristle brush and follow on with a soft bristle brush. Do remember that if the brush doesn't run easily through her fur, she has matts and that needs to be carefully snipped off. Long-haired rabbits need a lot more maintenance/ grooming.
@superlircha Hi, trancing ur rabbit (where the rabbit lies still like my rabbit Sugar in e video), takes patience and practice. No need to bring it to the vet for this. Also, sterilizing/ neutering your rabbit makes them calmer and less aggressive - which makes picking em up & trancing them much easier. Good luck!
@hameedah87 Hi, it's best 2 use plain water. Other substances like oil & shampoos can cause reactions in rabbits. 4 stubborn matts, u might want 2 carefully snip em off (b careful not 2 snip it's skin as matts can get really close 2 e skin). Re aromatherapy 4 rabbits, I hav heard tt some scents r ok but I personally avoid any of tt for risk e rabbit might not take well 2 it. Really, there's no need 4 aromatherapy - just give ur rabbit lots of massages, strokes & love. That's e best therapy. =)
i just bought my rabbit (age of 1 and half month) today... but he starts to hv a runny poo... last time i bought a rabbit and he hv this he die after a few day... doc said he being stress... pls give some advise... thanks in advance.
@fezirezmy Hi fezirezmy, rabbits who have watery poo is not a good sign at all. It's a sign that something is very wrong with their digestive system. What are you feeding your rabbit? At 4 to 7 weeks, the bunny should be consuming its mother's milk & have access to alfalfa and pellets for baby rabbits. From 7 weeks to 7 months, the rabbit should be given unlimited pellets and unlimited hay. When the rabbit reaches 12 months, to start introducing vegetables gradually. Good luck!
@TeenyTeh Thanks for the reply. i think he's not ready to be separated from his mother. They should haven't sell him yet -.-" I give him a pellets (only) unfortunately he not even try to eat em'. I bring him to Vet this morning, and doc said he has a very low chance to live. poor him... poor me! i love him!
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, you need to build up that trust with her. Do sooth her and stroke her and hold her close to your body to make her feel secure before leaving her on her back. Also, she's a little young (& unsterilized), thus it takes a little more effort. But with patience and practice, you will be able to do it. Good luck!
@dcanrius Hi dcanrius, I personally have not heard of that remedy or tried that myself. I would still suggest though, if your rabbit has ear mites or any other problems, to bring him to a rabbit-savy vet. The last thing we want is to try to diagnose the problem ourselves (espeically when we are not professionals in this field) and self-medicate. The problem might be due to something else - which we cannot see with the naked eye or a result of something more serious.
@sophia9876543210 Hi sophia9876543210, check out my "How to pick up a rabbit" video on picking up your rabbit. Remember to be firm but gentle in your hold. Then hold her close to your body and gingerly flip her over on her back and hold her close to your body. Sooth and stroke her head to calm her down if necessary. Then place her carefully on your lap. Do note not to have her in this position for too long as contrary to how it looks, she's not relaxed and totally comfortable. Good luck!
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, when a rabbit is shedding, lots of loose fur will come out when you stroke her with wet hands - even when your hands aren't wet. Thus, she's not really going through a shed. The little fur you see on the edge of the cage is just her normal day-to-day hair fall.
@sophia9876543210 Hi, ur rabbit shld keep herself clean (as they r fastidious groomers) as long as u keep their living area clean i.e. clean litterbox regularly, wipe living area daily etc. If rabbit's feet r dirty, put ur rabbit on her back (like e vid), use a tissue (wet it with water) & gently wipe to get out e stains. U might have to trim her stained fur to remove stubborn stains + poo tt has stuck to her fur. Careful not to snip too much off as she needs the fur for padding.
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, that doesn't sound like normal rabbit urine. Is it like runny like raw egg yolk or chalky-looking like cooked egg yolk? If it's chalky, it means that there is too much calcium in your rabbit's diet. So give your rabbit more hay and cut down on pellets and veges rich in calcium i.e. kale
Teeny I think you misunderstood what I mean is she doesn't move when she's outside like sit there. And when I feed her she turns away. Then once I put her back in the cage she eats again.
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, she's probably resting and chilling when she's let out - she probably feels comfortable (& a bit lazy). She doesn't eat cos she's probably not hungry.
Lol! Thx Teeny anyway I trance her once but she was extremly scared and one more problem umm when I take her out of her cage and let her walk around she stays there. Then when I feed her food outside her cage she turns away. Why is rhis happening?
@stephylove10 Hi, yes rabbits in a trance r not relaxed. That's why u shld only trance ur rabbit when u need 2 groom her/ clip her nails etc - not on a daily basis. When rabbit is out of her cage & she stays outside, it cld be tt she doesn't want 2 go back in cos she's not done playing/ exercising? Also, is cage large enuf 4 her 2 prance ard? Rabbits do not want 2 go back 2 small spaces as it's uncomfortable. She may turn away frm food if she's not hungry or if she's not feeling well.
I have problem getting my rabbit in a trance! When I put him down he just immeadeitly flips back over! When I cut his nails my friend has to hold him! Help me Teeny!
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, trancing your rabbit takes practice and patience. Is your rabbit sterilized/ neutered? If so, that will greatly help as it will make him less aggressive and more calm. If you like, I can hop over to your place to teach you how to trance him. And as I have been getting numerous requests on a video specifically on how to trance a rabbit, we can make a video and you can teach other beginner rabbit owners how to trance your own rabbit. Let me know! =)
@stephylove10 Hi @stephylove10, I just realised that you're based in Canada! Embarrassing!!! Not very possible to swing over to your place to do the video then - as I'm based in Singapore. Let me know if you have any luck with the trancing. =)
@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, I don't have a cheap hay contact. I get my hay (Timothy, Orchard Grass etc) from Pet Lovers too. Expensive yes, but quite fresh. Plus now that I only have Sugar, she doesn't consume that much hay (about $40 a month). But maybe you can go into the HRSS forum and ask around? Good luck!
wow teeny, thats pretty big space. i've gt another qn about hay, my fluffy is about 2 mths old. i've been feed her timothy mix alfafa hay. But she seems to be picking out only alfafa to eat and wasting alot of hay. she will throw them all over the litterbox, & she wont touch them anymore. is there a way to stop her from wasting hay & What do u do with those hay that they dun eat?
@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, it's normal 4 Fluffy 2 pick out alfafa hay -it's sweeter than timothy hay. Fluffy (at 2 mths) is still a baby & shld be eating alfafa hay instead of timothy hay. When Fluffy becomes a "teenager" & goes into adulthood (at 4-6mths), do start switching her 2 timothy hay, orchard grass & oat hay as they r higher in fibre. Older rabbits need 2 consume more fibre than baby rabbits to keep em healthy. For hay they dun eat, use it to line e litter box (on top of e litter).
hi teeny, thkz for the advice. It really takes quite 'some' time to train her. she stop shitting on my bed already =). I always wonder where u keep ur bunnies. The background of video seems very spacious and neat, are they kept in a play pen? Btw, do u have any msn or email so that i can seek some ur advice about my bunny?
@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, congrats on getting bunny 2 stop pooing on ur bed! Sugar stays in e kitchen extension within our apartment. It's impt 2 keep ur rabbits in a place tt u r likely 2 frequent - so there isn't a "Out of sight, Out of mind" risk. My husband build a little playground 4 her (shown in video) so she can run & hop up & down & hide under (when she's scared). Total living area is approx. 6ftx6ft or 2mx2m - with playpens 2 prevent her frm coming into e kitchen when we're cooking.
one thing I would like to add is that if you have a long haired rabbit or a lionhead, it is ok to use a slicker. Thier fur is extremely thick and long so it needs a slicker.
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove, it is unlikely that there will be big bald spots during a shed. Also, when your rabbit is shedding fur from all areas of its body, it's most likely experiencing a shed. A bald spot at a specific area (of a few specific areas) is probably due to mites and you should bring your rabbit to a vet asap. Good luck!
hi teeny i like to ask how do u litter train ur rabbits? i had a netherland dwarf abt 6 wks old already. she seems to be well litter train only in her cage. but when i let her out in my room daily. she shit and pee on my bed all the time.. even if i place a litterbox near by with hay n her fav food, she wouldnt use it at all. What should i do to change this behaviour?
@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, ur rabbit (who is not spayed yet) is just marking her territory by pooping & peeing in areas outside her cage. It's entirely natural. What u can try 2 do is 2 put her poop & pee in e litter box u provided (so her scent is in e litter box). Be patient though - it may take a while. What will also help is when she reaches sexual maturity i.e. 4 - 6 months - spay her. Spaying her will reduce e incidence of this "marking" and will make it much easier to litter train her.
hi teeny.. i would just like to ask if you know any cure to my pet rabbit who's currently experiencing ear mites and it's starting to get all over his body aside from visiting a vet.. and does virgin coconut oil helps to soften and remove the crusts?? thanks so much.. ^,^
@chris012094 Hi chris012094, I personally hav not used coconut oil on rabbits 2 cure ear mites. However, I hav heard tt some people do tt - reasoning is e oil suffocates e mites & kills em. However, I wld still advise u to bring ur rabbit 2 e vet as e vet is e best person to identify e problem & administer e correct medication. Rabbit's ears r very sensitive & e last thing u want to do is 2 administer something tt's harmful (rather than beneficial) to him. Suggest u bring him to the vet asap.
Teeny I have a question, I see that your bunny has a very organizied and comfortable room, I am about to get a rabbit, so I want to know where I should keep my rabbit and how can I make it as comfortable as yours?
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, it is important to ensure tt ur rabbit lives in an area big enough 4 him 2 stretch, play & run ard after his litter box, water bowl, feeding bowl, hiding place, toys etc r placed in e area. Some possible areas r in e living rm, bedrm, kitchen etc - as long as it's indoors. Or e best wld b if u cld let him hav full run of e entire home - just need to ensure tt e whole place is bunny-proofed b4 tt happens (ensure no running wires, poisonous substances etc).
teeny my names ellie im 11 years old and 1 of my three bunnys wont eat and he wont eat anything oh he is a french lop bunny but a small one please right me back on my page becuse im so worryed about my baby oliver
@lolgogo9 Hi lolgogo9, a rabbit not eating is a clear sign that it is not well - it could have GastroIntestinal Stasis, which means that the intestines become static. This can be due to a lot of factors like stress, dehydration, pain from another underlying disorder or illness, an intestinal blockage or, insufficient dietary crude fiber. Left untreated, the rabbit could die a painful death. Do send it to the vet as soon as possible. Rabbits which do not eat for even a day can die. Good luck!
i have a white rabbit who loves to sit in her litter box so her feet are very VERY dirty. And because shes white, it looks bad. How can i clean her paws?
@AyNeKy Hi AyNeKy, you can clean her paws by takin a cloth soaked in clean water & gently wiping her paws & feet (she may not like it thou cos these areas r rather sensitive). What u can do to prevent her paws & feet frm gettin dirty again is to ensure that her litter box is kept clean & dry at all times (change her litter regularly i.e. once every 3-4 days). The thing with rabbits is, as long as we keep their living areas clean, they'll do the necessary grooming to keep themselves clean. =)
@mynamemaru Hi mynamemaru, try covering her eyes with a cloth - that should help calm her down. Do stroke her head to soothe her and tell her everything will be ok - this should help calm her down too. Do note not to have her in this position for too long as it's not too comfortable for her. Just get her in this position, clean the necessary areas and get her upright on all fours asap. Good luck!
@germagic2 Hi germagic2, if your rabbit is kept indoors, it should not have fleas. But if it is kept outdoors (which it shouldn't in the first place as rabbits should be kept indoors) or is brought out in the open, it could have caught fleas from there. Do bring your rabbit to the vet for further examination. The vet will probably apply some medication on the back of your rabbit's neck and give you some to apply periodically to get rid of the fleas. Good luck!
@tazio998 Hi tazio998, the trance is indeed not a rabbit's natural position & it is not at its most comfortable. We shld not hold them in this position for too long - just long enough 4 us to do e necessary nail clipping or grooming. The reason why rabbits go into this type of trance, is cos when they are picked up by us & held upside down like this, they think they are being caught by a predator and pretend to play dead - when they find a suitable opportunity, they will struggle to get free.
Thanks for the words of encouragement guys - really appreciate it! =) Will be uploading the next part of this video i.e. "How To Trim Your Rabbits Nails" in the next couple of weeks - so stay tuned. Do also let me know if you have any particular topics you want me to cover. Till the next video! =)

@MANIACMONKEYSKB Hi MANIACMONKEYSKB, it's best not to overhandle your rabbit when she's pregnant - for fear of injuring mother & babies. FYI, rabbits are also a little more aggressive when they are pregnant. As the gestation period is only 1 month, you can hold off the grooming till she has delivered. Simple grooming (when she's on all fours) like brushing her fur could still be done while she's pregnant. Do sterilize your rabbit after delivery to prevent future unwanted litters.

emelia1996 7 months ago
@1MikalaB Hi 1MikalaB, you're right that this trance position is the rabbit is "playing dead". Rabbits do this when they get caught by a predator so that the predator, thinking the rabbit is dead, will loosen it's grip on it - it's then that the rabbit can try to escape. Trancing is NOT recommended to be done everyday (as say a bonding experience), but might be necessary to clean/ groom your rabbit or perform health checks on it if it doesn't stay still in other positions.

@1MikalaB Hi 1MikalaB, as mentioned, it's not recommended to be done everyday (or for long periods at a time), but when you need your rabbit still and not struggling (for when you need to groom them, apply medication etc), it is a solution. If of course, you can keep your rabbit from wriggling around/ moving around in other ways (on all 4s), by all means. Just sharing my experience as tracing works for Sugar (who's really finicky). =)

@garrison0395 Hi, you can wet a towel with warm water and gently wipe him down. Be sure to dry him thoroughly after (with a dry towel - NOT with a hair dyer as you might burn him) as they can catch chills easily. Rabbits should never be bathed as it stresses them out.

please just tell me HOW DID U MAKE UR RABBIT SO TAME?? mine is a 9 week old dwarf lionhead, he is constantly scared, but would allow me to pet him and pick him up to take him out of the cage.. thats pretty much it. He wont sit still like the rabbit in the video, and i can never groom his tummy/chest which is getting all entangled.. if i lift him up in my arms he panics and there is no way i can turn him on his back, he starts kicking and wriggling.:( WHAT TO DO????
sektion1 8 months ago
@sektion1 Hi, it's normal 4 rabbits 2 b easily scared as they r e prey animal. & to feel uncomfortable when picked up (as they r ground loving). To minimize their stress, pick em up only when necessary - when u need 2 groom em, bring em to e vet etc. To calm ur rabbit down when u have 2 pick him up, immediately bring him to ur chest firmly (but gently) & stroke his head n reassure him. When he's not struggling, flip him over quickly (wif confidence - as animals can sense it if u r not). Gd luck!

@sektion1 Hello, I have a rabbit to, before you pick your bunny up, show him you hands, you have to build trust as well on the floor and let your bunny investigate you and climb on you (mine now has piggy back rides) also you have to make you bunny feel secure, the reason why they don't like being picked up is because in the wild being picked up means being eaten. look on you tube how to pick up a bunny. :)

btw can i bathe them or are they too young?
greenappleiceblended 10 months ago
@greenappleiceblended Hi greenappleiceblended, your rabbits seem to be aggressive due to them reaching maturity (4-6 months old). Neutering or sterilizing will help make them less aggressive. Rabbits should never be bathed as this stresses them out. Rabbits keep themselves (and they living area) very clean (as they are fastidious creatures). Just ensure that you keep their living area clean and that they are on a healthy diet of unlimited hay, fresh green veges, good quality pellets and water.

fatlizzard19 10 months ago
@fatlizzard19 hi! I'm 15 and got a rabbit in November when I was 14, so if you have any other questions on rabbits, feel free to ask! And my rabbit comes to me when I call him or make noises. Also, it depends on how large the rabbit is for whether or not they can climb stairs. But I would recommend keeping them on one level anyway, since it takes alot of energy for them to climb stairs and they might trip since they hop instead of walking. (:
TheMadiTv 10 months ago
@fatlizzard19 Hi fatlizzard19, as TheMadiTv mentioned, rabbits r intelligent enuf to beained to come when called. Reward your rabbit (with healthy treats, strokes on the head & praise like "Good boy!") every time he comes to u when u call his name. He will soon associate this action positively. Rabbits like to hop up on platforms (not too high) as it makes life a little more interesting - just ensure that the surface is not slippery and there is enough room on the step for all his 4 feet.

rynclint26 10 months ago
@rynclint26 Hi rynclint26, scratchy, flaky skin (with bald patches) is usually a symptom of mites, but to be sure, you should bring your bunny to a rabbit-savy vet. And yes, if it's a case of mites, your 3 month old bunny can spread it to the other 2.

@bobcar714 Hi bobcar714, to get your rabbit in the trance position, first, pick your rabbit up carefully (supporting his chest under his arms & butt) and hold him close to ur body (to make him feel secure) in a cradle position (like u wld hold a baby with the rabbit's face facing the ceiling). After ur rabbit is more calm, sit down comfortably (I like to stretch my legs out in front of me and put a towel on my lap) and lay ur rabbit carefully between ur thighs. Good luck!

NatCat1997 1 year ago
@NatCat1997 Hi NatCat1997, I would suggest brushing her with with a fairly wide toothed (so you don't yank at her fur) bristle brush and follow on with a soft bristle brush. Do remember that if the brush doesn't run easily through her fur, she has matts and that needs to be carefully snipped off. Long-haired rabbits need a lot more maintenance/ grooming.

@superlircha Hi, trancing ur rabbit (where the rabbit lies still like my rabbit Sugar in e video), takes patience and practice. No need to bring it to the vet for this. Also, sterilizing/ neutering your rabbit makes them calmer and less aggressive - which makes picking em up & trancing them much easier. Good luck!

@hameedah87 Hi, it's best 2 use plain water. Other substances like oil & shampoos can cause reactions in rabbits. 4 stubborn matts, u might want 2 carefully snip em off (b careful not 2 snip it's skin as matts can get really close 2 e skin). Re aromatherapy 4 rabbits, I hav heard tt some scents r ok but I personally avoid any of tt for risk e rabbit might not take well 2 it. Really, there's no need 4 aromatherapy - just give ur rabbit lots of massages, strokes & love. That's e best therapy. =)

fezirezmy 1 year ago
@fezirezmy Hi fezirezmy, rabbits who have watery poo is not a good sign at all. It's a sign that something is very wrong with their digestive system. What are you feeding your rabbit? At 4 to 7 weeks, the bunny should be consuming its mother's milk & have access to alfalfa and pellets for baby rabbits. From 7 weeks to 7 months, the rabbit should be given unlimited pellets and unlimited hay. When the rabbit reaches 12 months, to start introducing vegetables gradually. Good luck!
TeenyTeh 1 year ago
@TeenyTeh Thanks for the reply. i think he's not ready to be separated from his mother. They should haven't sell him yet -.-" I give him a pellets (only) unfortunately he not even try to eat em'.

@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, you need to build up that trust with her. Do sooth her and stroke her and hold her close to your body to make her feel secure before leaving her on her back. Also, she's a little young (& unsterilized), thus it takes a little more effort. But with patience and practice, you will be able to do it. Good luck!

haha that u gotta massage the neck and below the ears...
Anyway just a tip on my rabbits and dogs...If their ears stink, or their skin get rashes and those irritations...I have a $1 solution.
1. Get an aloe vera... you can buy aloe vera leaves at NTUC.
2. Juice it up, including the green portion.
3. Apply to affected areas.
I personally use aloe vera on myself if I get rashes. And also for my hair. Aloe vera promotes hair growth and helps to fight dandruff.

@dcanrius Hi dcanrius, I personally have not heard of that remedy or tried that myself. I would still suggest though, if your rabbit has ear mites or any other problems, to bring him to a rabbit-savy vet. The last thing we want is to try to diagnose the problem ourselves (espeically when we are not professionals in this field) and self-medicate. The problem might be due to something else - which we cannot see with the naked eye or a result of something more serious.

My bunny is sheding bug when I storke her with water nothing comes off and when I clean her cage I see many tiny fur on the edges.
stephylove10 1 year ago
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, when a rabbit is shedding, lots of loose fur will come out when you stroke her with wet hands - even when your hands aren't wet. Thus, she's not really going through a shed. The little fur you see on the edge of the cage is just her normal day-to-day hair fall.

what do you do if your rabbit has really dirty feet?
sophia9876543210 1 year ago
@sophia9876543210 Hi, ur rabbit shld keep herself clean (as they r fastidious groomers) as long as u keep their living area clean i.e. clean litterbox regularly, wipe living area daily etc. If rabbit's feet r dirty, put ur rabbit on her back (like e vid), use a tissue (wet it with water) & gently wipe to get out e stains. U might have to trim her stained fur to remove stubborn stains + poo tt has stuck to her fur. Careful not to snip too much off as she needs the fur for padding.

stephylove10 1 year ago
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, that doesn't sound like normal rabbit urine. Is it like runny like raw egg yolk or chalky-looking like cooked egg yolk? If it's chalky, it means that there is too much calcium in your rabbit's diet. So give your rabbit more hay and cut down on pellets and veges rich in calcium i.e. kale

Teeny I think you misunderstood what I mean is she doesn't move when she's outside like sit there. And when I feed her she turns away. Then once I put her back in the cage she eats again.
stephylove10 1 year ago
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove10, she's probably resting and chilling when she's let out - she probably feels comfortable (& a bit lazy). She doesn't eat cos she's probably not hungry.

stephylove10 1 year ago
@stephylove10 Hi, yes rabbits in a trance r not relaxed. That's why u shld only trance ur rabbit when u need 2 groom her/ clip her nails etc - not on a daily basis. When rabbit is out of her cage & she stays outside, it cld be tt she doesn't want 2 go back in cos she's not done playing/ exercising? Also, is cage large enuf 4 her 2 prance ard? Rabbits do not want 2 go back 2 small spaces as it's uncomfortable. She may turn away frm food if she's not hungry or if she's not feeling well.

@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, I don't have a cheap hay contact. I get my hay (Timothy, Orchard Grass etc) from Pet Lovers too. Expensive yes, but quite fresh.

wow teeny, thats pretty big space. i've gt another qn about hay, my fluffy is about 2 mths old. i've been feed her timothy mix alfafa hay. But she seems to be picking out only alfafa to eat and wasting alot of hay. she will throw them all over the litterbox, & she wont touch them anymore. is there a way to stop her from wasting hay & What do u do with those hay that they dun eat?
zellzhou88 1 year ago
@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, it's normal 4 Fluffy 2 pick out alfafa hay -it's sweeter than timothy hay. Fluffy (at 2 mths) is still a baby & shld be eating alfafa hay instead of timothy hay. When Fluffy becomes a "teenager" & goes into adulthood (at 4-6mths), do start switching her 2 timothy hay, orchard grass & oat hay as they r higher in fibre. Older rabbits need 2 consume more fibre than baby rabbits to keep em healthy. For hay they dun eat, use it to line e litter box (on top of e litter).

@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, congrats on getting bunny 2 stop pooing on ur bed! Sugar stays in e kitchen extension within our apartment. It's impt 2 keep ur rabbits in a place tt u r likely 2 frequent - so there isn't a "Out of sight, Out of mind" risk. My husband build a little playground 4 her (shown in video) so she can run & hop up & down & hide under (when she's scared). Total living area is approx. 6ftx6ft or 2mx2m - with playpens 2 prevent her frm coming into e kitchen when we're cooking.

one thing I would like to add is that if you have a long haired rabbit or a lionhead, it is ok to use a slicker. Thier fur is extremely thick and long so it needs a slicker.

During a heavy shed you said there might be bald spots. How do I know if the bald spot is heavy shed or mites?
stephylove10 1 year ago
@stephylove10 Hi stephylove, it is unlikely that there will be big bald spots during a shed. Also, when your rabbit is shedding fur from all areas of its body, it's most likely experiencing a shed. A bald spot at a specific area (of a few specific areas) is probably due to mites and you should bring your rabbit to a vet asap. Good luck!

hi teeny i like to ask how do u litter train ur rabbits? i had a netherland dwarf abt 6 wks old already. she seems to be well litter train only in her cage. but when i let her out in my room daily. she shit and pee on my bed all the time.. even if i place a litterbox near by with hay n her fav food, she wouldnt use it at all. What should i do to change this behaviour?
zellzhou88 1 year ago
@zellzhou88 Hi zellzhou88, ur rabbit (who is not spayed yet) is just marking her territory by pooping & peeing in areas outside her cage. It's entirely natural. What u can try 2 do is 2 put her poop & pee in e litter box u provided (so her scent is in e litter box). Be patient though - it may take a while. What will also help is when she reaches sexual maturity i.e. 4 - 6 months - spay her. Spaying her will reduce e incidence of this "marking" and will make it much easier to litter train her.

@lolgogo9 Hi lolgogo9, a rabbit not eating is a clear sign that it is not well - it could have GastroIntestinal Stasis, which means that the intestines become static. This can be due to a lot of factors like stress, dehydration, pain from another underlying disorder or illness, an intestinal blockage or, insufficient dietary crude fiber. Left untreated, the rabbit could die a painful death. Do send it to the vet as soon as possible. Rabbits which do not eat for even a day can die. Good luck!

AyNeKy 1 year ago
@AyNeKy Hi AyNeKy, you can clean her paws by takin a cloth soaked in clean water & gently wiping her paws & feet (she may not like it thou cos these areas r rather sensitive). What u can do to prevent her paws & feet frm gettin dirty again is to ensure that her litter box is kept clean & dry at all times (change her litter regularly i.e. once every 3-4 days). The thing with rabbits is, as long as we keep their living areas clean, they'll do the necessary grooming to keep themselves clean. =)

germagic2 1 year ago
@germagic2 Hi germagic2, if your rabbit is kept indoors, it should not have fleas. But if it is kept outdoors (which it shouldn't in the first place as rabbits should be kept indoors) or is brought out in the open, it could have caught fleas from there. Do bring your rabbit to the vet for further examination. The vet will probably apply some medication on the back of your rabbit's neck and give you some to apply periodically to get rid of the fleas. Good luck!

tazio998 1 year ago
@tazio998 Hi tazio998, the trance is indeed not a rabbit's natural position & it is not at its most comfortable. We shld not hold them in this position for too long - just long enough 4 us to do e necessary nail clipping or grooming. The reason why rabbits go into this type of trance, is cos when they are picked up by us & held upside down like this, they think they are being caught by a predator and pretend to play dead - when they find a suitable opportunity, they will struggle to get free.
