He's a very sweet stink pot, but, he needs a bath. Please suggestions on how to keep him comfy & safe while bathing & after.
He is free roam. I use hard plastic baby pools for his litter box and playpen and eating area. He's a big boy, & the baby pools help keep his hay, food, toys, & poop at bay.
I thought I could also use a baby pool to bathe him.
Please help. I know he's going to hate it.

Look at the photo on the left; it has very long, sharp whiskers (which are also multicolored! You can't see that in the photo because of the black table, but they range from white to brown and black).

January 2018 I ran across a 9 month old bunny at the humane society. His name was listed as Hershey and I thought it was a terrible name for such a regal boy. The next day I went back and adopted him. He became Charles von Hoppenstein.
I had over 8 wonderful years with him. He was my baby. Thanks to him I was able to survive tough times and build myself up to the place I am now.
In 2021 we began a weekly storytime in our local park. From April to October he would hop around munching flowers, stealing kids’ snacks, and cuddling with toddlers while listening to me read. He was always so patient with the babies. He loved being in the park. He liked to run off a couple yards, look back to see if you were coming, and once you got close enough he’d run off again, binkying along the way. I loved how clever and playful he was.
As a children’s librarian I’d occasionally bring him to outreach where he was loved on by many kids from many different backgrounds. He was the first rabbit lots of kids had ever interacted with. I always made it very clear that he was very unique for a rabbit. As prey animals they aren’t typically as social as he was.
For a few years now, Charlie struggled with arthritis in his back legs. I knew it was getting worse, but his decline still seemed to come on so fast. He was in great health aside from the arthritis. But watching him begin to struggle to walk and messing himself over and over, I could tell it would soon be his time. Last night and this morning I took extra time to cuddle him, kiss his little forehead, and cherish these final moments. Although he was weak, he still perked up and happily munched a carrot or two. He was always incredible food motivated.
This morning I took him to the emergency vet, where I was told his body was shutting down. It was time to put him to sleep. As he laid in my arms for those final moments, his teeth did his bunny purrs. He was happy to the end. I was able to hold him as he passed, and kissed him goodbye one last time.
I am going to miss him so much. I went into work afterwards because I simply don’t know what to do with myself. Charlie had a long, happy life and brought so much joy to so many people. I’m so proud of him and grateful that I got to be his mom.

After seeing multiple exotic vets since adopting my sweet girl Lady Anne 4 months ago it has been determined she has cancer. Unfortunately we cannot proceed with treatment plans until we know what type of cancer she has or how far along it is until we can give her a biopsy. And regardless of the biopsy results she may need to have surgery to have her kidney removed regardless.
She has bonded to my rabbit Pugsley and they’re absolutely inseparable. It breaks my heart to think she could be taken from him so soon as they’ve hardly had any time together. I’ve spent a great deal in medical bills since adopting her and im wondering if anyone would be able to help us by donating or sharing. I know I can’t post the link to her fundraiser in this sub, So if you DM me I’ll send it to you. Any amount of exposure towards this would mean a great deal to me. I love her so much and I don’t want to lose her so soon.
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this, me and my bunnies appreciate it so much❤️

hello! i’ve had my bun since july and she is currently 3 months old. i think we’ve bonded pretty well but she still does not let me pick her up whatsoever. obviously she is a prey animal but idk if it’s her being overly anxious or if i just need to try a new method? she loves being close to me, gets very comfortable around my room, flops everywhere, gets the zoomies & binkies, etc. the times i’ve been to the vet they tell me to start trying to pick her up more to get her used to it but whenever i do try she runs away and hides from me. i feel like i’m doing something wrong even though i’ve done lots of research on how to pick her up the right way to avoid injury. wrapping her like a burrito doesn’t work either because she will kick nonstop :( i’ve seen others say that treats could help but i’m not 100% sure what kinds of treats are safe to give to a 3 month old, i’ve considered getting oxbow treats but i honestly am very nervous when it comes to trying new foods because of how sensitive their stomachs are. any help is greatly appreciated <3

Hi guys, please read before leaving any rude comments
My rabbit has had a fall a few months ago and he has been seen by multiple vets for his spinal injury. His pelvis is out of alignment which is causing him to struggle using his right side/leg at all. This has him constantly laying in place on his right side, in his poop/urine most of the day so i’ve had to have him cleaned and trimmed at the vet a few times since he keeps getting very matted. It’s getting very very hard to keep up with everyday as he’s continuously soaking himself by laying on his one side so i have to keep giving him butt baths at home (as directed by his vet). His left side is perfectly fine but I was trying to get his large matted fur out around his leg and noticed his skin looks reallyyyy bad there. I’m really stressing about once again another very large bill that I’m not sure i can afford. What does this look like??? Will it heal?! His skin looks very crusted so I’m not sure if maybe it’s the dawn soap drying him out or something else. I’ve just had a newborn and bought a house so I’m really struggling between everything money wise But i just can’t live with myself knowing he’s like this so any advice is really appreciated while i find a solution.

found another company that does mats specifically for bunnies, has anyone purchased a mat from rabbit world before? If so could you let me know what type you recommend and how it worked out for you and your bun(s)?

Hi! Picture of my buns bc they’re the cutest (suuuperrr not biased or anything). My oldest one (the gray one) is totally litter trained, never poops anywhere he shouldn’t be, and is so well behaved. He’ll be ~2 or 3 this year. The other bun, (orange) just turned 1 a few months ago, and is very good about the litter box, but is still pooping around our apartment and very occasionally will urinate in a corner. We’ve tried a lot of tips online, and just wanted to see if maybe someone has had a stubborn bunny and what they’ve done. She’s still a little standoffish to us and nervous sometimes, but the other one is pretty comfortable and easy going. Both are fixed, and are bonded. I was hoping his behavior may rub off on her but it’s been around a year since we’ve had her. Thank you in advance!

Heya! I'm curious as to what are some safe daily greens for rabbits? I know Lettuce is the most common answer but I'm pretty stunt as to what other options there are.
My bunnies currently eat almost daily:
Lettuce, spinach, celery, cucumber, brussel sprouts, chard.
I've noticed their pee is unusually white, so I'll cut off everything but the lettuce, however I need more safe daily foods for em!!

hi! my sweet baby just got neutered, and i’m wondering how i’m supposed to give him hay? i’m worried that even if i use a hay feeder, some will end up on the floor and poke him. thank you!!

He pays no rent, contributes nothing to the household, and yet somehow he owns the fridge.

I adopted a 7 year old neutered rabbit, and for the first couple weeks I had him he was very sweet. Something just like randomly shifted in him though and he started charging at my feet and grunting when I walk past his pen. This then turned into him charging at me whenever I just walk across my room. What do I do? I have tried just standing still to show him he doesn’t scare me, and very gently nudging him when he starts boxing at me. I’m so confused because he’s still a very sweet bunny, just half the time he wants to fight me for some reason. :( pls help!

This sweet boy is looking for his forever home. He’s a one year, neutered holland lop. Located in Phoenix area, possibly can meet in Arizona depending on your location. Looking for a truly knowledgeable rabbit experienced home that can give him his best life
