Oh no! That’s no good. :
What about having 2 litter boxes?

Update: I spoke too soon… 😔 We moved Pekoe and Lottie out to their final living space (living room) and expanded every 24 hours until they had half of our living room. I thought they were doing so well that I gave them the other half of the living room too and that, in combination with a cleaning of their litter box and enclosed area, must have b…[Read more]

We went to a Exotics practice and saw a bunny specialist due to needing a new vaccination that we could not source from our regular rabbit savvy vet. A full thorough health check was carried out and the verdict was we have two healthy bunnies doing great for their age!
I will obviously keep an eye, we haven’t noticed any breathing stuff since but…[Read more]

I’m having trouble finding safe foods. Veg fruit herbs for bunnies.
My friend just got a sweet bunny around 3 years neutered.
She hasn’t had a bunny in years. Needs to know bun safe foods.
Thank you

Yes, definitely let us know! How aggressive you want to be depends on a lot of factors. You definitely want to take their age and overall health, as well as how easily stressed they are into consideration. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to, say, try some antibiotics just to see if there is improvement (as opposed to jumping into invasive tests right…[Read more]

He’s be his normal self the last 24 hr aside from a very light snore while he was fast asleep that I noticed once today – I wonder if he could also be developing a bit of a snore, anyone noticed this in their buns before?
We have actually had a new type of hay for a couple months, they get some nice long stem green Timothy from a hay supplier and…[Read more]

Hello! Glad to see you. 🙂
It could be allergies, but I would definitely rule other things out before coming to that conclusion. URIs can present in different ways and they can become more likely as a bunny ages simply because their immune system isn’t as good as it once was. If it is the hay, you could try a different type and/or try to…[Read more]

BrunosMama replied to the topic Aging and sensitivities in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 1 week, 2 days ago
Hey! Good to see you and glad the buns are generally doing well!
I’m wondering if the type of hay could have anything to do with it. Like if you have changed brands or something? I know some are more dusty/crumbly than others. I know different cuttings of Timothy hay have different dust levels as well.
I wonder, too, if he could be developing a…[Read more]

Hi!
Glad to hear your bunnies seem to be bonding nicely. Just an anecdote of encouragement – when I bonded my long term boy to my most recent rescue girl, for the first year they cuddled and showed one sided grooming, after a year (and 3 years later) they now both groom each other and are supper snuggly buns. I guess he was just very stubborn! So…[Read more]

Hey!
(update)
It’s been a while since I’ve posted and been on the forum – life has been increasingly busy during my post-grad. Hope everyone is well. Glenn and Nellie are doing well generally! For anyone that remembers the GI struggles, Nellie hasn’t had a stasis bout in a year!

I was looking for some advice on aging bunnies.…[Read more]

That’s so very true Brunosmama. When they are very sick, it is more expected. When it comes out of nowhere, it is much more confusing. This is the price we pay for loving bunnies so much.
Raelinn – I commented in your other post, but wanted to comment here too. I’m very sorry for your loss of Gus. He was such a handsome boy and I know you did…[Read more]

Oh my gosh, I am so so sorry to hear about Gus!! I know how much you loved him and it must be devastating. <3 I have lost bunnies suddenly when they seemed otherwise healthy. Its heartbreaking and confusing and maybe hurts a little more than losing a bun that has been chronically ill. My heart goes out to you, Raelinn. I know you were an awesome…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Gus died tonight. I dont know why. I am distraught. in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 1 week, 3 days ago
I’m so so sorry this happened.
There are so msny things that can go wrong inside a bun, and they pretty much all first manifest as stomach problems. You did everything right (I read your Rainbow post just now), which means there was sth really wrong, not “just” a bout of gas or sth else that the owner can manage at home. I’m so sorry the vets…[Read more]

It’s been one day, and I am still crying a lot. Anytime I stop actively doing something, I begin crying over him.
He was like a child to me, I raised him up since he was a baby. I used to put him on the desk and hand feed him veggies when he was a tiny boy.
This forum, and the people on it, did a lot for Gustavo over the years. You guys taught…[Read more]

It depends on the cover, but some are thicker like a pee pad. I would think that would at least slow him down enough so you would have time to stop him.

Oh, I’m so sorry. That must have been awful finding him like that. As tough as bunnies are, they can also be very fragile. It’s hard to know what happened. You were doing a good job with him, so please don’t think this was somehow your fault.
