Dwarf rabbits

[Gin4us2]

Does anyone on here own rabbits / dwarf rabbits?

Anyone?

We have two mini lop/ netherland cross rabbits.

I do... He is lovely, a house rabbit. What's your question?

Hi yes I have a dwarf and a big lop bunny how can we help?

Hi sorry for late reply, I'm looking for advice on how to make them house trained? There two males and there baby's I think, is there anyway to stop them going to the toilet on the carpet? Surprisingly they haven't yet but I am not expecting it to always be like that?
Also, is it expensive to get them spayed//neutered? Is it a good thing to do?

:)

What a gorgeous bunny!

Yes DEFINITELY get your bunnies neutered as young as possible, particularly as you have two males together.

Do your bunnies have litter trays? They will need one each and they will need to be full of gorgeous hay to encourage them in as bunnies often like to eat and do their business at the same time!

Litter training my bunnies was never more complicated than getting trays, putting them in the places where the bunnies like to go to the loo and sweeping any stray droppings/wet bedding into the tray to show the bunnies that was their new toilet.

Good luck!

We have house rabbits and they have a tray each. We use a large size cat litter tray with newspaper on the bottom and filled with hay that they use for eating and as a toilet. We don't have any problems with them going anywhere else apart from the occasional droppings when they have a run around!
I think it advisable to get rabbits neutered, especially females who are otherwise prone to cancers.

You'll need to wash out the trays every day as the urine can be a bit smelly!

I bought one rabbit tray yesterday and placed it in the corner of there cage? Should I take it out and place it on the carpet? How much did you pay to have your rabbits neutered? :)

I clean there cage out pretty much everyday where they have gone to the toilet etc and top it all back up, but I was told to keep a bit of there old hay to keep there scent in the cage?

I don't know how much neutering costs - ours were rescue bunnies and had already been done by the animal sanctuary. I think vets usually have a price list and will be happy to go you the information. Yes I think it's a good idea to keep a bit of the used hay so that your bunnies get used to the new routine. I think as long as they have easy access to the tray it won't matter where you put it.

Hi there !
What a gorgeous rabbit . I have one , she just turned one last month . She has a big open house in our garage but is still litter trained . So she will only go to the toilet in a little tray we bought and we just put pellets in , then the rest of her house is clean. What we did was whenever she went for a poo, we picked one or two of her droppings up and put them in the tray. She eventually after just one day, realised that she should poo and wee in the tray only .
She associated it after we put droppings there:) good luck! X

Oh and to be neutered/ spayed pets at home do it for £60

Neutering is definitely advisable as usually the advice is to get a boy and a girl as they will get on better, boys often fight. They will need vaccinating too so you are looking at about 100+ each for neutering and vaccination

I would get them a tray each and place them wherever they seem to like going to the toilet. You can move them gradually if you want it somewhere else eventually. Is it a nice big one? My dwarf rabbit has an under bed storage box! I put some bunny safe litter and newspaper in under the hay and I clean it out every other day - it's not smelly at all.

Seconding the PP who suggested vaccination. They will need two yearly vaccination, nobivac and filovac to protect them from both strains of RHD and myxo.
