i love rabbits i have one there so cute... this is my rabbit http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...x/103_1628.jpg
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.
i dont but if i give him somthing to lie on he will eat itQuote:

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

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.Quote:

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.
