VERY cute bunny! I love the grey ones, they always look extra-soft.

Just wondering, do you have something for your bun to lie on in its cage? The wire can be really hard on their feet. A piece of wood or cardboard for them to lie on takes the pressure off their tootsies from the wire.

Sweet bun.

Am I correct in saying that your bunny is a Rex? I have one too aren't they soft? I also have a mixed breed they are both females and they share a cage. Rex rabbits especially have very sensitive skin on the bottom of their feet and can easily get sores and I agree they need something to rest on in their cage if it is wire. It can be anything from a piece of wood to hay.

Put down a big slab of carpet, that's what I did with mine. It's fine for them to chew and rip apart. Your rabbit doesn't actually eat blankets.

Your bunny is cute! I used to have a mini rex too.

i dont but if i give him somthing to lie on he will eat it Rabbits need to chew, it's good for their teeth. A nice piece of wood (make sure it's untreated) would provide a nice place for him to get off the wire and it's something that he can safely chew.

That sounds like a good idea, I might do that for Cad. I keep hay on the bottom but I might start trying a piece of carpet and see how he likes it; cause Ive been thinking the hay might be 'hot' in the summer time.

Actually rabbits need hay in their diet so why not line the bottom of the cage with it. And actually some rabbits do eat carpet and it can cause intestinal blockages if eaten I wouldn't risk it...

If you put carpet in there, just watch VERY carefully. Some rabbits do ingest the yarn they pull up, and it can be fatal. As long as your rabbit isn't eating it, it's okay, but a piece of carpet with the edges bound is safer.

That's a great idea as long as her bunny is litter box trained. If he's not litter box trained he'll be going potty on the hay that he's eating.

Just put the box in the corner that they usually go in, and they should start using the box. That is what the ARBA says, and it worked for my Oslo.

I miss my holland lop to this day, maybe someday i'll have another.

a cube cage would give space and be cheap and fun to build.
