Coping with Rabbit Allergies
Two new House Rabbit Journal articles on allergies. Living with Rabbit Allergies
and A Fosterer's Allergy Experience. Reader Photos
Photos: new cute bunny pix from our readers. Useful Tip: Sock Toy
Take an all-cotton thick athletic sock and split the top in half
with two vertical cuts through the ribbing. Put about 3 Tbs. of
hay in the toe, followed by 1 Tbs. of oat groats, followed by 1/3
cup pellets, followed by 1/2 to 3/4 cup hay (depending on sock
size). Then squeeze the fat part through the top of the cage
and tie the sock top around the wire in a double knot so just
the fat part is hanging in Bunny's cage. For more info on fun
rabbit toys, check out our Toy FAQ. Previous tips of the week... Archives of What's New 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996
