I think Insta stories only show for a limited time, so I couldn’t find it.

You can email me pics of your bun and I’ll put them up in your thread. I’ll send you a DM with instructions!

I’m so sorry to hear about Biscuits! Its amazing how one bunny can change the whole dynamic of the household (both for the good and the worse, although I’m glad he was a good anchor for everyone else). I hope your home will eventually find a rhythm again as you all work through the loss.

Binky free, little Biscuits xx

She is beautiful! I love her markings.

Her ears and head shape don’t quite seem like a Nethie, but she could be mixed if she is on the smaller side. 🙂

I can’t seem to attach photos here but I posted a story on my Instagram @lanathelop

She appears to be Vienna marked, which is a different gene than the Dutch gene but can create Dutch-like markings and blue eyes. Not sure on the breed, but she doesn’t look like a Nethie. Probably a mix of some kind. How big is she?

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]
