Hi again!

Great that yiu found the wifi password!

It’s not really possible to say how often a bun’s nail should be clipped, because it depends on the bun and the bun’s daily activities. Free roam buns tend to need less frequent nail clipping than buns that live in small-ish enclosures – obviously running around a lot wears the nails. Younger…[Read more]

I would say no, not annoyed. Probably just super excited. My bunny will sometimes do a little thump and then zoom. It’s just him being super excited. For your bunny though, a lot of this excitement is likely being caused by hormones. Circling and honking are courtship behaviors. Are you planning on getting her spayed? Spaying is very important for…[Read more]

Have they been getting critical care or other supplement? Feeding critical care tends to lower their water intake because they are getting liquid from the critical care.

I use a BB litter screen because someone likes to dig in the litter box. This one is metal, but it sits directly on top of the litter. Then I put hay on top. Yes, bunnies will much on this hay and you don’t necessarily need a rack. I like to have a hay rack above the litter box, just to help keep things a little more tidy.

Thanks for the reply, Dana! 🙂 I’ll definitely take the advice and try that. I do plan to get her spayed, but unfortunately, I think it’ll be a while until I can since she’s only a little over 8 weeks old right now. Hopefully this new set up will help out more.

When you put hay in the litterbox, is this the hay they will be eating? I won’t need a…[Read more]

What was she getting before?

I’m glad to hear she is doing better. I’m sure it’s a relief to have her home now.

No, she has not been spayed. Unfortunately that’s not an option for me.

That makes sense, thanks LBJ10! I guess she was just super excited to see me! (phew, not annoyed)

No, she has not been spayed. Unfortunately that’s not an option for me.

That makes sense, thanks LBJ10! (phew my rabbit’s not annoyed with me) 😀

Yeah it’s worrisome to hear she has a heart issue for sure, but I am glad that she isn’t symptomatic to hopefully that goes in our favour.

I just collected her from the vets this evening, so I’m super happy to finally have her home. But when I dropped her off with all her medicine, it’s only when I got home that I realised when they gave me back…[Read more]

Is she spayed? If not then I would definitely recommend getting that done! Full litter box training is usually not possible until buns are castrated.

Unfortunately many buns will pee on soft things (like beds and blankets), and dig boxes are remarkably similar to litter boxes from a bun’s point of view.

I think removing the grate was the way to…[Read more]

I’m glad she’s improving! Not great news about the cardiac abnormality but it’s good it’s asymptomatic.

Hi @ChubAndOat, welcome to the forum! Because this thread is about 10 years old, it’s very unlikely that you will get a reply from the OP. I recommend starting a new topic with the info about your bunny, and active members can reply there.

If your bunny is showing signs of altered breathing (especially during rest) I definitely recommend having…[Read more]

Hi, I know this post is old so I’m hoping someone will check it. My bunny is having similar behavior. She’s eating, drinking, pooping, and playing like her usual self, but does seem to be swaying a bit when breathing. I was wondering if you ever took your baby to the vet and what they said.

So she’s back to herself again and has had no seizures since, so that’s good news!

But they did discover an abnormality on her cardiac scan. They noted the right side of her heart seems enlarged and suspect a mass on her tricuspid valve 🙁

not great news obviously, but I know she’s 8 years old. She isn’t symptomatic and it was purely an inciden…[Read more]
