Ohhh that sounds good. How do you make mint treats?

I plan to buy my buns some new toys and make them some mint treats!!

<p style=”padding-left: 40px;”>I have romaine lettuce! The stores near me close in a few minutes, I wont be able to make it in time. They are chewing on romaine. I take them out a few times during the day to get excercise, and right now they are junping & doing binky’s like usually! I think they will do fine until tommorow morning. I will moniter…[Read more]

She works mainly with dogs and cats but is also certified for bunnies. The vet checked his teeth, ears, etc. and said everything else looked good. I made sure she knew he was acting normal other than grinding his teeth. She definitely saw a mass in his stomach on the x-ray, and she said it was most likely GI stasis and to get back to her if things…[Read more]

They need something right away. Do you have any greens? Is there grass outside you can pick for them? Bunnies that young really aren’t supposed to be eating much greens but it’s better than stasis. They have to have at least hay available at all times and this could cause them to become very sick.

Yes that is really unusual! Maybe a mis-communication with the vet? Are they rabbit savvy?

Were his teeth checked?

It is very important that they have food, especially at their age… and since it has now been over 24 hours if I read that correctly. Rabbits can develop a build up of toxins in their liver if they don’t eat for more than 12 hours, and bunnies that young could starve. Not sure where you are or what time it is where you are, but they really need food ASAP.

Yeah, he’s pooping and eating normally. He was even before the appointment, which is why the diagnosis confused me. I bought him some Oxbow digestive support treats, so hopefully that will be enough for now along with his regular diet. Thank you so much!

Is he pooping?

If he is eating normally then you don’t normally need to syringe feed. Was he eating normally before the appointment? I’m wondering if if the fluids and pain meds were enough to get his appetite back on track (I had a bun earlier this year that had stopped eating, but perked up almost immediately after some fluids). Gas pain can…[Read more]

Sunlight is good for rabbits, but they don’t need a lot of it, since they are crepuscular animals – ie they are mostly active at dawn and dusk.

Some people take their buns out in a stroller, which obviously needs to have a mesh top so sunshine can reach the rabbits.

Agree with Wick, it’s hard to know how it will go. Also know that it’s very rare for a bond to be completely impossible (about as rare as “love at first sight” bondings). Most are somewhere in between. Getting them spayed is of course the most important first step, and you’re doing that. 🙂

I think it’s best to plan for the worst and hope for the…[Read more]

Sorry for the late reply! I want to take them outside because I heard that sunlight is good and necessary for them.

I think you can approach the situation similar to any other bonding situation. Basic and foundational information can be found here: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/bonding/

Whether or not a rabbit has been around other rabbits, I feel, does not really impact the probability of success anymore than the rabbits’ personalities. Patience is key…[Read more]
