I have always been interested in rabbits and after adopting two rabbits in early 2012 my addiction grew. These pages are here for quick reference and storage of information, most are a mishmash & hodgepodge of info. They are of random topics that I wanted answers to or found very interesting. I hope you find some of the Oryctolagus cuniculus info useful.

Megacolon (MC): Some rabbits with the (En/En) English spotting gene can have a "predisposition" for megacolon. They are mostly white with light spotting on the body, circles around the eyes, and a broken nose butterfly. Any breed of rabbit that inherits two of the dominate English spotting genes (En) can possibly get this syndrome. The page has all of information I have collected on the MC. If you think your rabbit has MC please take him/her to see a rabbit savvy Veterinarian! Megacolon info page. |

A Rabbit's Vision. What can they see?
I was interested in how much my rabbits could see. The information is from many studies, books and webpages. I was not sure if rabbits had any depth perception or could see any color... yes & yes. The page is a mishmash - hodgepodge of information on a rabbit's and some human vision, it answered most of my questions. Rabbit's vision info page.

Dewlaps: "A dewlap is a longitudinal flap of skin that hangs beneath the lower jaw or neck of many vertebrates." "The dewlap is found mainly on female rabbits, although, in certain breeds, the males are also allowed a small one. Its purpose is to provide another area for the doe to pull fur from when she is making her nest for her kits" It seems to be related to bigger breeds (genetics), but smaller ones can also get it. Overweight rabbit (even males) can get them. Dewlap information page. |

Mary E. Cotter & Amy Sedaris - Introduction Videos to Rabbits: Howcast.com (and now Youtube) hosts 49 Videos totaling 1.4GB. There are 3 hours, 10 minuntes of videos (enough to fill 3 DVDs.) These are a great resource for basic rabbit information. On Howcast.com & Youtube there is no real order to the videos. I did a quick page to sort the videos into 3 groups and some basic order, along with other information surrounding the hosts & videos.

Wood Stove Fuel Pellets: Wood pellets can be a great replacement for pet litter and they can save you a lot of money. There are a few things to look for before you buy stove pellets. Number one is to make sure they are safe... no accelerants, chemicals, etc., added. Check to make they are rotary drum or kiln dried, this will help remove the phenols. Make sure your rabbit does not think they are candy. The pellet page has a few details on some brands of pellets, along with information from the manufactures via email. Wood stove pellet page. |
