two days ago my rabbit kat started to develope another eyeball...... it was really scary and i started to cry my own eyes out and i do not know what to do help me!!What do you do if your rabbit is growing another eye?
Well, I would be getting myself to a psychologist, since animals do not spontaneously grow eyes. You're either pulling our leg, hallucinating, or your rabbit has an open sore that needs vet attention that you seem to think looks like an eye.What do you do if your rabbit is growing another eye?
That's impossible... That's like chopping of a tree's limb and watching another one grow back in the same exact place. If your rabbit had three eyes it would have to be born with the third eye already there. The only think it can really be is a weird scab or some other kind of injury. If you even thought your rabbit was growing a third eye you would have brought it to the vet instead of posting about it here. Also, judging by the other questions you ask I know this is fake.
If it is an eye, take it to the vet, they'd love to do a scientific paper on the bunny. The media loves this stuff too.
If you're just horsing around--you could come up with a more bizaar thing happening, I'm sure.
Oh don't worry... me myself had a third and forth eye growing outta nowhere, i didn't worry much... and now my rabbit is taking the habit from me, maybe I'll stop him at his fifth one... who knows...
SERIOUSLY DUDE WHAT IN THE HECK WAS THAT QUESTION ABOUT???????????????????????????????
that is not possible sorry, I am a vet. If such a freak of nature happen the animal would be worth millions. I think you are pulling you are joking around with the people of this forum. Sorry.
Are you sure its an eye? It could be something else. But whatever it is it could be dangerous to the rabbit's health, Vet ASAP
I have no idea what that might be, get that rabbit to a vet as soon as you can!
DOES ANYONE KNOW A GOOD VET????
YOU SHOULD RUSH HIM TO THE VET, TO GET A CHECK-UP.
It's the Devil!!! Sacrifice it as necessary!
maybe its not an eye ! it could be something else too but i have never heard of that sorry
Another eyeball? I guess put it on Ebay
scary..
Do you mean a real rabbit??
this is so freaky lol.
add more details.
yeaa i agree that is scary. are you sure your not jokinng??
take your three eyed bunnt to the vet. that is just not normal
are you joking?
why are you asking us???
you could be at the vet now!!!
GO!!!
wat r u waiting for????? GO TO THE VET!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!

How do you tel if your rabbit has worms or not?
Thx.How do you tel if your rabbit has worms or not?
Rabbits don't suffer from the same parasitic worms as dogs %26amp; cats do.
The most common worm a rabbit can get is pinworms, but usually only if the rabbit has come from a dirty environment. Pinworms are tiny, cannot be transferred to humans and go away on their own if the rabbit lives in a clean environment %26amp; their litter tray is changed daily.
Rabbits do not need to be ';wormed';. Never use any worming treatments intended for dogs or cats on rabbits as they can be toxic.
If you're worried about your bunny, visit an experienced rabbit vet for a checkup.How do you tel if your rabbit has worms or not?
I have never known of worms in rabbits before, I would suggest taking him/her to a vetinary practice, they can take a poo sample or a blood test and give you a prognosis..
It is rather hard to detect in severe cases they have severe dirrahea.
i have a rabbit too and the only way u can tell is to take it to the vet...
is it scooting it's butt on the carpet? if yes, wormy..

How do you cure mange on rabbit?
You take it to the vet and let them properly diagnose and treat your rabbit. Then you follow closely whatever treatment regimen they prescribe.
Add: Your vet may know of a natural treatment, particularly if you choose a holistic vet to take your bunny to. HOWEVER, there are different types of mange with different treatments. Your vet needs to diagnose which type through a skin-scraping before you will know whether there is a holistic treatment that will cure it.How do you cure mange on rabbit?
at the vet. they will do a series of dips most likely.

What does it mean when my rabbit licks me?
is it a sign of bonding or somethin?What does it mean when my rabbit licks me?
i have 3 rabbits and yes licking you is a sign of bondingWhat does it mean when my rabbit licks me?
eww.. naughty bunny . lol.. no they just need a salt lick.
When your rabbit licks you it means heor she love you its being affectionate towards you. yup you got it right its a sign of bonding
She's licking your sweatt. hehe.
I had a rat who always did that. [:
She died a couple months ago. ]:
He's probably licking the salt from your body. Pet stores have salt mineral blocks to hang in there cages.
They lick your skin b/c of the salt.
It likes the salt on your body
I think it is more likely she is tasting either the sweat on you or trying to see if your food. Does she have a salt lick? If not it's probably the sweat.
Well its loving hehe but yes it usually means she/he needs more salt mineral. Try buying him/her a nice salt mineral block lick from the feedstore.

Is it possible to have offspring of mating between a cat and a rabbit?
please answer if you know certainlyIs it possible to have offspring of mating between a cat and a rabbit?
Cats have 38 chromosomes, while rabbits only have 22. In order for two different species to be able to mate, they not only have to have a similar number of chromosomes (usually the same but sometimes a difference of two, as in horses and donkeys) but also have other factors in common such as size, gestation time, etc. If chromosome numbers are similar and a fetus is created, it will likely not survive if the two mated animals have significantly different birth weights or gestation lengths.Is it possible to have offspring of mating between a cat and a rabbit?
No. In order for two different species to interbreed, they must be closely related. Generally, animals within the same genus can interbreed - for example, that most famous of hybrids, the mule, is a cross between a male donkey and female horse, both of which belong to the genus Equus (the offspring of a male horse and female donkey is called a hinny, incidentally). Depending on how closely related they are, species in different genera but the same family can sometimes interbreed too - for example, the puma and the leopard both belong to the family Felidae, but the genera Puma and Panthera respectively, and can interbreed to produce a hybrid known as a pumapard.
Being closely related basically means that two species share a greater amount of genetic material with each other than with other animals. Beyond family level, two species cease to share enough genetic material for the egg and sperm to 'recognise' each other, which is why you can't breed animals from different families like, say, a dog and a cat - a dog sperm simply wouldn't be able to fertilise a cat egg, and vice versa. Rabbits and cats are not only in different families, but different orders. There is no possible way they could produce offspring together.
By the way, it is not necessary for animals to have the same number of chromosomes to interbreed, as some of your answers seem to suggest. Horses and donkeys have different numbers of chromosomes, for example. The difference in chromosome number between the parent species is the reason many hybrids are sterile, since it means they cannot produce functional sex cells, but it does not prevent the existence of the hybrid itself.
No.
The chromosomes wouldn't match therefore, it's impossible.

Where should I buy my pet rabbit or pet guinea pig from?Not a shelter though?
I need a place that sells healthy animals and isent overpricedWhere should I buy my pet rabbit or pet guinea pig from?Not a shelter though?
First of all, in my opinion any animal that u get, wether you adopt from shelter, or from a person or you pay for it at a pet shop, you are still saving him and still giving an animal a home that without you would not have one, why does it have to matter so much about where it came from? That is just ignorant! Saving an animal is saving an animal, if you are truly an animal lover then why are you punishing the poor animals that end up at the pet shops, just because someone is charging a fee for them, it is not the pets fault!!! Anyway to answer your ?, try looking on craigslist.org in your city, they have a lot on there! Good Luck and don't listen to people about where u get it! They are just talking to hear themselves talk!!Where should I buy my pet rabbit or pet guinea pig from?Not a shelter though?
pet shops are good places to start
I would suggest looking at craigslist for your local area or do a search for a list of breeders close to you. The American Rabbit Breeders Assc website can give you a list of breeders in your area. Breeders will sell you a healthy animal. Just make sure to do a little homework on the breed that you are interested in so you know what you are getting.
Did you also try doing a search for a bunny rescue to see if there is one in the area that you are willing to travel?
Get one from the newspaper! Thats wat I did with my rabbit! It's cheaper than pet shops!Also if you like cute you might get to see 2 week old rabbits ! aaaaah!Although there are healthy animals in shelters. And some from shelters are cute and it's kind to get them from there.
The best place to buy a rabbit or cavy (guinea pig) is from a breeder.
You can breeders of rabbits and cavies at an ARBA rabbit show.(Many shows also have cavy shows at the same time)
Go to the ARBA website and look in the show section for a show near you.
You can buy a rabbit from a breeder for much less than a petstore. You also get the added benefit of a very healthy rabbit that will be purebreed with a pedigree.

What do you do if your rabbit gets diarrhea..?
Any other solutions instead of going to the vet?What do you do if your rabbit gets diarrhea..?
Take them off their food IMMEDIATELY! For the next few days, try and get them to eat just hay/ straw for roughage and make sure the rabbit has all the water it needs. If it does not stop after a few days then you do have to take the rabbit to a vet cause this may be more then a small case of diarrhea. Also while treating him make sure the rabbits cage and butt is always clean. A dirty cage/butt can ge the rabbit even sicker or give them more problems.What do you do if your rabbit gets diarrhea..?
Remove all food except good quality hay and water. Keep his cage absolutely clean and be sure that no flies get to him. If he gets really messy give him a quick butt bath (basically just wash his back end. Hold him in your arms like a baby and put his butt under a warm running tap). Do be sure to dry him off really well as staying damp will not help matters. It can take a week or two before he's back to normal, when he is introduce his normal food slowly.
It would probably be wise to get him checked anyway as there can be a number of reasons for diarrhoea, some of them not very nice.
