[Muslimah_For_Life]

Hmmmm..... Cute girl, handsome boys.... I do wish ever so.... To bad the boss would murder me if babies suddenly appeared *sigh*

[Muslimah_For_Life]

Bunnies LOVE mango!!!! And they sound SO CUTE when they eat it!!!! I love mango too

[El Muslima]

Hmmmm.... kids been hassling me for rabbits ....

[ButterNut]

I didn't know bunnies liked mango - ours has been limited to broccoli, carrot and if he's been a good boy, a cucumber lol

And finally, after weeks and weeks, he has finally stopped shedding. I thought it would never be over.

[El Muslima]

So, where do I start ?

[Muslimah_For_Life]

El Muslima, start by educating them on rabbits. You know, basic stuff; don't pick them up by the ears or neck, don't feed them bread or other 'human food', be quite around them ect. I recommend getting a rabbit from a shelter. And rabbits can be litter trained too

[Muslimah_For_Life]

Lol ButterNut, Oreo and Cookie are still shedding a bit. It sucks because every Monday I have to take them to their new class and talk about them and how to take care of them, and then for the rest of the day, I'll be covered in rabbit fur. And it gets in my mouth.

[El Muslima]

We are getting rabbits vry soon, InshaAllah ! This weekend ..

MFL, how would you litter train a rabbit?

[El Muslima]

Can't believe I read every post in this thread

Get a litter box and put cat litter (must be non clumping.) I recommend 'Breeders Choice cat litter' it's made of recycled paper and can be used as a surface mulch. We were using it but the rabbits prefered wood shavings for some reason, so we use that. Just put some of their solid droppings in and hope they use it. Clean up any accidents using vinegar for the pee. Sometimes rabbits choose their own 'toilet' and its best to just put the litter box there, if you can. Have fun!

Are you getting them from an animal shelter?

[El Muslima]

No, getting them from a friend in this forum.

[El Muslima]

And we'll use wood shavings in the litter tray. I just need an enclosure thingy so the rabbits have more room to run around.

[Muslimah_For_Life]

Make one! Thats what me and my dad did. They mow the lawn very efficiently. And they ferilise the lawn! Rabbits also make great indoor pets, just be carefull of the electric cables!

[El Muslima]

I was thinking of having them indoors but not anymore because of teh electric cables around

[Muslimah_For_Life]

You can buy covers for them or hang them out of reach. Or both.

[El Muslima]

phone cables around the rumpus area plus tv cables ...hmm

[Muslimah_For_Life]

You could give them limited access... Be careful what your kids feed them, they might want to share their lunch with you rabbits.

Rainy day. Rabbits staying indoors & getting lots of cuddles.
