On no 🙁  I’m so sorry. 🙁

Are you in an area with RHDV?

With very young rabbits it could have been a number of things, they are very fragile, especially if taken away from mom too soon.

Very sorry for your loss. 🙁

Oh no, I’m so sorry. 😥

I second what Dana says. I had a bun who refused hay, I gave him fresh grass on his vet’s orders. It was a bit tricky during winter, but since we rarely get snow here, it was possible, albeit with some effort. I used to go out in the dark and cut grass behind a school building 🤣

In actuality, male to male bonds are possible, but male-female just tend to be easier. There can definitely be male-male bonds that work out easier than some male-female bonds– there are many factors at play with bonding, so don’t let the sex match-up dishearten you.

This sounds a lot like my pair Wick (male) and Fable (female) in many ways!…[Read more]

I’m unsure, but something does not look normal. It could potentially be splay leg development, but the legs themselves seem small, so it may be something else. I would highly recommend taking your rabbit to an exotic, rabbit-experienced vet to have this assessed. Since you have pictures, you might be able to send them for a quick consult as well.

Unfortunately, my female rabbit died this morning. I woke up and checked up on her and she was limp and not moving. It breaks my heart how I just made an appointment for their check up the night before. I couldn’t rush her to the vet since the clinic I found was a 2-hour drive.

She started having seizures a few minutes after I picked her up. I k…[Read more]

Thanks I did another post with photos – wouldn’t let me upload to here I had to make another forum sorry …

There are some nutrients (I believe Vit A?) that develop when the hay cures in the sun. A variety of hays is even better (anecdotally I’ve heard that a combo of timohty, orchard, and bermuda seems very good for bunny tummies).

Fresh grass is also good, and can be especially helpful with tummy troubles because it is hydrating. Fresh grass can be…[Read more]

thanks!  Do you know if hay is better than fresh grass?  does being dried improve the benefit to their gut?

That’s great!

I’ve used Bene-bac before (the pre-made gel, not the powder). Can’t really say if it helped or not, but the bunnies liked it and a lot of people here have used it for their buns.

That said, the best thing for the bunny gut flora is hay hay hay hay. 🙂

Did her first tea bag and took it like a champ 😉

he continues to act more normally every day 🙂  Thanks everyone!

And I’m still interested in a probiotic recommendation from anyone!  THANKS!

Also, be careful that he isn’t eating too many pellets.  At 6 months of age, he should start getting only a measured amount of pellets each day.  Too many pellets can cause weight gain and can cause soft poops, which are more likely to get stuck in his fur.  Cutting back on the pellets  might make him eat more hay too.  Since he doesn’t like Timo…[Read more]

Ok you guys are the best. Going to try the tea bag thing tonight.

I agree, I’m not seeing what the problem is either. From this picture, the eye appears normal. Maybe a sliver of the third eyelid showing, but that isn’t a cause for concern.

Her eye doesn’t look that bad in the pictures. Just a little watery. What’s concerning is the white stuff you are seeing every now and then. Like I said above, a clear and watery discharge suggests something is irritating the eye. White discharge could be just a clogged tear duct, but it could also be an infection. Either way, if it doesn’t clear…[Read more]
