We are thinking about gettin one since now that I have gone gluten free I am not allergic! YEA! :lol: We live in a small house with a fair yard ( but pestisided unfourtunately, I wouldnt take him/her out there though :unsure: ) We have been reasearching dwarf rabbits for a while now, and we think we have the correct home for one. We were hoping to find an extremely small one that was litterbox trained. I need to know how you would go about getting electrical wires away from the little one. I also wanted to know if there was a gluten free rabbit pellet or if they could just live off of veggies, fruits and timothy hay. I also wanted a few good tips about having one. :D

I've been on vacation or I would have responded sooner. I had a rabbit when we lived in a small townhouse. Great pet. They need time out of cage but need to be confined if you are not there. We pushed the furniture up against the wall so he couldn't get the wires behind them. I'm not sure what was in the pellets but mostly alfalfa or timothy hay. Timothy hay is better for adults as alfalfa has a lot of calcium for young buns if I remember right. Mine wasn't a fan of most fruit, but they do love veggies. Don't give watery things like iceburg lettuce or the red part of watermelon. Where we live there are rabbit rescue groups that can help you, too. We made a large enough cage to fit a litter box & give him room to move. No wire bottom as that is uncomfortable for little bun feet. He figured out how to open the cage & it took 2 or 3 different tries to find a closure he couldn't open. They love sweets like chocolate or cinnamon liquor (would lick the drips on the bottle on the bottom shelf.) I'm not saying to give that to him/her but as a warning. We took him out in our tiny yard to eat the grass but didn't put anything on the grass. Tried to eat any flowers I planted. Good luck!

We are thinking about adopting 2 dwarf rabbits for my kids to do 4H showing.

We only had our previous rabbit out when were able to watch him. They really are little fur balls of personality and fun. He loved bananas.

They have some listed on www. petfinder .com but the adoption prices are really high.

Good luck with your bun bun! :D

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
