Activity

I agree, I hope the forums will liven back up, too!

I originally joined years ago, then had to drop off for a good while due to some personal reasons. I’m trying to be more active here again, though, because I really enjoy the bunny community that hangs out here. 🙂

Its also great to see so many familiar faces still around. I know the forums…[Read more]

LOL I don’t know. GirlBun is the youngest bun I’ve had, at 4 months when she arrived; she is the only bun that has grown in my care. For other buns, NewBoyBun was the only bun that I was told 1yr+ vs 2yr+ (same shelter). Can they grow after 1.5yr? I thought at 1yr, they should be set in personality (assuming fixed) and growth. I actually googled…[Read more]

I glad to hear your bunny is doing better now. 🙂

Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply! My bun ended up accepting greens very willingly so I would sneak some critical care onto his greens and he would happily eat it! He’s gotten so much better, and is almost back to normal! Thank you!!!

Thank you for the update! Wonderful that he’s doing so much better! 🐰

Hi! Thank you so much for your reply, sorry I’m replying so late ive been so busy.

Yes, he was quite feisty and speedy which I took as a really good sign!

Me and my dad tried having one person hold him in a bun burrito, and the other feed, but it only worked about half the time, and it would take a long time which would stress muffin out even…[Read more]

I should’ve thought of those that’s so smart! I think the burrito made it much more stressful for him, so I’ll definet;y try that if I need to next time. I don’t have to force feed my bun anymore since he’s almost fully back to normal, he’s been doing great! Thank you so much though I really appreciate it!

Oh yay, I’m glad to hear Muffin is doing so much better! 😀

Thank you so so much for your reply! Sorry I’m replying so late I’ve been so busy!

I also tried putting some on a banana slice, and he did the same thing 😂. But I ended up mashing some into the mixture instead and he took it willingly! I also gave some CC with his greens as he started eating those!

I’ll definitely try doing that and sit…[Read more]

I’m sorry it’s still not working. 😥

So he did grow? So he was younger than you thought?

Different buns had different ways they prefer when forcing syringe. I’ve had some buns do much better outside of a burrito.

Can try no burrito and just sit bun on lap with bun facing sideways. Hold bun and bun’s head firmly against your body. Usually get a lot on myself but somebuns thrashes less being a bit more comfortable with you hold so …[Read more]

Stasis can be scary! But, I agree with Bam – a feisty bunny is a good sign. 🙂 In my experience, it usually means they are on the mend.

I have had some luck with putting a bit of (thicker) CC on a small banana slice, although after the first time, the bun got smart and ate around the CC lol. But, I’ve also mixed in a bit of apple juice, which…[Read more]

It can be very tricky to syringe feed a rabbit. That he’s feisty is considered a goid thing though, weak rabbit dont have the energy to make a fuss.

Maybe you could mix the crirical care with something that makes it more appetizing. Canned pumpkin for example (not pie filling mix that has spuces and sugar). A tiny amoynt of apple juice…[Read more]

🙁 They still can’t get along.

I forced them together for about three weeks in the larger/open area. It progressively got worse ending with… They were eating pellets just fine but when NewBoyBun hopped away, GirlBun went to nip and NewBoyBun squeeked; I could not find any injuries so I think he was just terrified. I thought I’d just let…[Read more]

If he’s eating something and still pooping (even if they are small), then I wouldn’t stress so much over the force feeding. If the vet gave him sub-Q fluids then he may not feel thirsty at the moment. Have you tried making the Critical Care thicker and putting it on a plate? One of my bunnies would eat it off of a plate. I also hear that Sherwood…[Read more]

Thank you for the update! I’m happy to hear it worked out!

A half spay is unusual, they’re not done on rabbits where I am, but they are sometimes done laparoscopically on guinea pigs.

I have read about half spays where only the uterus is removed. It was suggested it could be good for the rabbit, she’d get to retain her “natural”…[Read more]

That’s awesome to hear! It sounds like both buns are very happy together. 😀 So glad you (and the buns!) were able to work things out.

I have never heard of a half spay, either. I wonder what the logic/purpose of that would be for bunnies?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks so much for the update (and sorry about the technical difficulties).</p>
A half spay is a first for me, but that would definitely be a barrier to bonding, so it’s wonderful she got through that process with you and there’s a happy ending. Your hard work paid off!!
