Yesterday, my male mounted one of my females but he looking like he was just above her tail. Is there anyway to tell if that is the case? I am concerned...
This isn't the most scientific method, and I'm probably one of the *least* experienced people on this list to answer this question - but in my experience, you...
I just bought three rabbits the Sunday before last. Two of the three are social, easy to work with and seem to accept me as their new owner..then....I have...
I would suggest handling her every day... Slowly and calmly. Don't waiver . Don't get yourself upset.. But handle her every day. If she doesn't come...

It sounds like the bunny is cage aggressive. Bunnies can feel trapped in the cage and some will behave this way. Handling frequently is important. Does the...
I currently have a Satin doe like this. I was warned before I got her that she likes little girls, but not so much adults. She isn't aggressive to me, but acts...
Wow....I am glad it's just not me.....She is in my home, not outside, and everyday I talk to her, pat her...and take her out. Tonight, for the first time, she...
Kathy, thanks so much for responding....She too is fine once she is out of the cage...she may whimper for a bit, but then she settles down....she gets out of...
English Angoras - I have three REW bucks and two black does for sale born October 08. All are pure bred with full pedigrees. They have wonderful temperments...
In 15 years and many angora rabbits, I've had only two with behavioral problems, both females. The first time it happened, I tried everything from giving...
I would be very worried about restraints making the behavior worse. Also, the bunny might injure itself fighting the restraints. My suggestion is to do...
Yes, I am worried about that too. So, are you saying that you, or someone you know, has actually tried restraints and had a bunny injure itself? Or that...
I'd have to agree with Kathy on this one, completely. Here's how I learned. My boy was so squirmy I thought I was going to go mad! So my friend and mentor...
Ooooops - I just read that you've got 15 years of experience with bunnies - which means you probably have no need whatsoever of the long page of suggestions...
Ah, no need to be embarrassed, as I'm sure this group loves all the info we get and it's very sweet of you to share your info. I'm going to recopy the last...
One of my does is very aggressive in her hutch, protecting her home. Once outside, she can be a totally different girl. I usually groom/harvest in short...
I live in NH and Timothy Hay is purchased either at a pet store or Agway. The hay is usually sold in plastic bags. When I went to my local Agway, he said...
Claudette, Look in your local newspaper for farmers selling hay for horses. NOT FOR COWS !! Horses must have a high quality hay with no mold or mildew, cows...
I always buy bales of timothy hay & orchard grass. It's usually about $5 a bale - way cheap! The only thing is that you have to *always* be very very careful...
Oh, about straw - I think someone told me once that straw, unlike hay, doesn't have any nutritional value for bunnies, so I've always stayed away from it....
Well said! Bunnies as well as other pets tend to trust those that are confident and firm but not rough. Kathy ________________________________ From: Akire...
My female bunny seems to prefer being in her pen (big ferret playpen) when I'm grooming her. If she is in her pen, I can work on her for quite a while.  ...
I think this is why so many folks use a table to groom bunnies on. Mine have not seemed to need it.. I really don't handle them for long periods of time ...

A week or so ago I posted a note here asking if anyone had experience with using tie-down restraints while shearing, like the gals in Australia on a YouTube...
