I have a small shitzu/ yorkie mix thats obsessed with my bunny. Is it ok to let them hang out? The dog is very protective of our bunny and wont let the cats come near. Can they be friends?
im having a hard time grooming my rabbits. any tips?
I have a pet bunny, I also have two dogs that LOVE bunnies, not in a good way. I always make sure to keep them as far away from the bunny as possible, and it's working out fine. I was just wondering if your bunny needs exercise once in a while. True?
my rabbit is ridicolous but a cute rabbit who always make me happy

i have a bunny but i have no idea how to take care of it.
and my parents think its my job to take care of it!
could you help me?
I just read your what to feed and not feed. You contradict yourself about feeding broccoli (which i don't), but you say absolutely not to but then in your other paragraph you say in small amounts broccoli can be a snack. Using your quote about not eating arsenic in small amounts, why would you feed broccoli in small amounts? Just dan observation, maybe you should proof things before confusing new bunny owners? Sorry to sound like a bitch but I've been a bunny owner for the past ten years and work for a bunny rescue.
