I’m very sorry for your loss– your options were limited and there was no option that doesn’t leave sadness. I hope you find comfort in knowing Biscuits is binkying pain-free across the rainbow bridge. As for Hopper, rabbits will grieve in their own way. As long as she’s still eating and has energy, that’s the best you can hope for. Rabbits can be…[Read more]

Yeah, the original plan was a trio, but the house had been stable for a while, we were considering just keeping the new status quo. Hopper really hates Bubblegum, our old black and white cat, but when she had Biscuits, she didn’t act out on that hatred, she tolerated him wandering through the living room.

But Cinnamon, upstairs, really has no…[Read more]

That’s true! It’s a challenge and requires daily monitoring. I feel somewhat relieved, in a way, knowing that her not-so-low weight is actually a reflection of the megacolon and not some unknown or untreated illness hahaha. The good thing is that she’s not a picky eater and will eat hay like a horse XD

I don’t have a megacolon bunny. But I do know that it can be hard to keep weight on these bunnies or get them to gain weight. The problem is a lot of the typical things people do to encourage weight gain in, say, elderly bunnies does not work for megacolon bunnies because it can make symptoms worse.

I’m so very sorry, RetroSquid. It’s a horrible decision to have to make, but there was no good option.

Hopper is probably “just” reacting. It’s good that she’s binkying even if, as LBJ says, it’s not always a sign of happiness. Physical “exercise” relieves stress. She’s dealing in her own rabbit way. It can take some time.

You’ve really have a rough time with things the last year(?) or so. It never gets easier losing a bunny. Non-bunny people don’t understand the bond you can form with them. We were talking about this is another thread.

I remember you had originally wanted a trio. Did that every happen? Could Hopper go back with Cinnamon? It sounds like she is lost…[Read more]

Yeah, no matter when it happened, there wasn’t really anything we could do. An experimental procedure that, so far, had a 100% failure rate wasn’t really an option.

Honestly, I think I’m still in shock. He was such a friendly, gentle, loving wee boy and… Now he’s just gone…

Hopper, his companion, has become quite unpredictable. She’s…[Read more]

RetroSquid – I’m so sorry, I don’t know how this one slipped through the cracks. I didn’t see it until now. 🙁  We have been having issues with uploading media in general lately. There seems to be something wrong with the site.

I’m very sorry to hear about Biscuits. It seems these things always happen over weekends and holidays. However, it…[Read more]

Wow, I’m glad you got some answers! Poor Nellie, I’m sure the injury has just finally caught up with her. :/

Thanks for your reply! So incase anyone is wondering my exotics told me they are fine to give together but work better when spread out.

Also things with Nellie have changed quite significantly since this post! She finally got a referral to a full exotics specialist hospital and the doctor was amazing! She had yet a third relapse a week ago today…[Read more]

Update: So I tried ordering Small Pet Select and it never came. Out of desperation, I picked up a bag of Oxbow at the store. This one didn’t have alfalfa in it! But… someone decided he didn’t like it. Of course…

Out of desperation again, I ordered a box of Rabbit Hole. And no alfalfa either! That is just so weird! At least he was happy with it.

Does your bunny ever flop? Sometimes lazy bunnies (or less active buns) prefer the flop to show happiness versus a binky since it seems to take less effort haha! One of our buns (who we suspect may be older in age, he was adopted from a rough background so his age is unknown) never really binkies, but sleeps a lot and flops often.

I agree with…[Read more]

Yes, I would like to know as well. Some bunnies are just… lazy. I had a bunny that never binkied or did zoomies. Never. He slept a lot. My current bunny runs around like a maniac all the time.
