Activity

I just want to add, that when I weigh my bun, I put the scales and bowl on the floor. This is because if the bun decides to jump out of the bowl during the weighing, the distance to the floor will be quite manageable.

I always use the C-grip that Dana mentions. And remember, as long as you get some of the CC into the bun, it’s a win!

I agree that you should keep trying to get the CC into him until his hay consumption is back to normal. He is prob drinking less since he’s eating less hay.

I found this video on syringe feeding to be my favorite. https://youtu.be/8iGZVYVm5Bg

The bunny in the video isn’t struggling much but she demonstrates the “C hold” and syringe placement…[Read more]

I agree with Bam, if she’s getting plenty of adult pellets and alfalfa hay (along with grass hay) you should be OK. Young bunnies should have almost unlimited pellets.

Also in my experience, when rabbit pellets are sold in bulk, they are often alfalfa based pellets that are sold for breeders etc. So they might actually be more similar to young…[Read more]

She looks very young so it’s hard to say, but I don’t think she looks like a dwarf or a rex (she doesn’t have rex fur). She is very cute though!

The difference between junior pellets and adult pellets is mainly that junior pellets contain more protein and calcium than adult pellets. Both protein and calcium are very important for young, growing mammals.

You can however compensate by giving your bun a larger helping of adult pellets. If you refill his bowl when he’s emptied it,  he wont…[Read more]

You are very welcome to ask many questions! 🙂

The difference between fresh vegetables and CC is that fresh veg is low in calories and protein and also comparatively low in fiber. Its absolutely great that he eats a lot of veg by himself, but it may not be enough to sustain his caloric needs. This means he could lose weight, which would be…[Read more]

I’m back again with another question if that’s ok! Herman is eating a reasonable amount of greens – celery, fennel, parsley and mâche (I think that’s lambs quarters in English?) and nibbles on hay. I don’t feel like it’s enough but he absolutely hates CC! I’ve 2 different flavours the aniseed one and the fine ground fruit one and he hates them b…[Read more]

Both these poops are normal and good. The shape is very good and doesnt indicate any gut slowdown. If the bunny gut slows down, you tend to see misshapen  poop and poop stuck together.

Darker poop can for example occur if the bun has been eating a bit extra fresh greens, because fresh greens contain a lot of moisture. Any change in diet will…[Read more]
