Oh dear, that is difficult!
I only trimled the hair rust around my Vilde’s eyes, becsuse the fibe fluff irritated his eyes. But you’d probably need someone to help you hold your bun for that type of trimming. Accidentally hurting his eyes would be far worse than eye boogers and it’s no guarantee trimming hairs would actually help, there could be…[Read more]

Yes, I’ve been wondering if I need to trim around his eyes more. This bun is super furry so trimming him is required but for his face, I only trim his nose/between eyes area. Might need trim his cheeks/outside of eyes but I didn’t want to accidently trim whiskers.
Maybe because I have to trim him monthly, even though he’s super…[Read more]

Warm (not hot) compress perhaps, I’d try warm plain water/saline first, but I know some ppl add some weak chamomile tea. Let the booger soften for a bit and then wipe/remove with your fingers?
My very fluffy bun Vilde got eye boogers/crustiness around the eyes unless I cut the hair around his eyes. Not all of it, not so he looked weird, just the…[Read more]

As long as it’s naturally occurring as opposed to an ailment, I think using your fingers/nails is fine.
It can come from less grooming behaviors for age. I do wonder if it may be like with humans, where when you have a stuffier nose, you also get more eye gunk?

Hmm… you may want to make sure he doesn’t have a problem with his tear duct. As for removing, I always just used my fingernails but nobody ever had really big eye boogers. They were always small ones. You could try grabbing it with two fingers over a wet paper towel, allow the water to soak in a little, then try to work it out.

Any ideas how to more easily remove crusty type of eye boogers?
My massively furry boy gets large eye crusty boogers. Someone recommended using water or saline and wiping but the water wipe did absolutely nothing. I’ve been just using my nails and fingers to gradually work it out. The problem is that I end up removing a tiny bit of fur. Not a big…[Read more]

BrunosMama replied to the topic Drinking water in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 days, 15 hours ago
We switched our buns to bottled spring water a couple of years ago. Our tap water where we live was developing a strange chlorine/chemical-y taste and my husband (who is kind of anti-tap water for drinking/cooking to begin with) decided we should maybe switch the buns to spring water.
We buy the gallon jugs at the grocery store for around $1.39…[Read more]

I’m so glad this story has such a happy ending!
Unfortunately I missed the original posts when you had written them, but I’m glad that you were able to find the support you needed to handle your first bunny! And it sounds like you have quite the friend now. 🙂
Bunnies make incredible companions. We have both cats and buns, and I really feel like…[Read more]

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for the update! I’m glad to hear that things are going well and you have what sounds like a very special bond with your bunny. Animals can definitely be healing. They give us a reason to get up in the morning and to do the things we need to do. Despite your reservations, you decided to give things a shot and…[Read more]

Bottled spring water is usually just a municipal well, so it may not be much different than your tap water. The concern with municipal tap water (if there is one) is more often contamination from lead pipes, etc. Now if you have a private well, that is a different story and there is the potential for all kinds of contaminants. I agree that it may…[Read more]

I’ve been giving my bunny Poland spring water, my husband wants me to give him either tap water or filtered water. Keep in mind we don’t drink our tap water we drink Poland spring.
I’m concerned to switch because I really believe the tap water is what gave my other bunnies cancer last year and they both died months apart last year.
any thoughts?

My husband is a landlord and yes allows pets. We had a tenant who had a rabbit and no damage done.
I have a bunny who I let free roam but I have to 100% supervise him because he can get into some trouble like eating our couch or biting our mop board. That’s if I am not right there.
when I can’t let him free roam he has a huge cage that I got fro…[Read more]

As long as you are absolutely sure they are both female, then you could just monitor the situation. If you see signs of things escalating, then it may be time to separate them before fighting occurs.
