If it’s just a one-time incident, she should be able to clean herself. If the fur is stained, even a butt bath isn’t going to get the stain out.

Hmm… well, he could be painful. Or he could just be a cranky old man. My bunny would bite when he wanted to be put down. He pretty much just accepted being handled though in his old age. Maybe he was just too old to fight back at that point. Haha!

I have meloxicam and gabapentin for him. Have to admit not consistent in giving it to him. He was really good about taking his meds but these days, he sometimes just refuses and I stopped forcing him to. As far as I can tell, the meds doesn’t seem to make a huge different in his behavior (he stretches quite a bit)
The vets said his arthritis is…[Read more]

There is concern with using the two together since they both slow blood clotting and can (in theory) cause bleeding problems. I would ask your vet if it’s something that would be OK short term and what the risks are.

Yes, I would definitely try the xpen route over a little cage trap. And even if they do humanely euthanize the bunny, that’s better than it suffering.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Another flooring questions in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 2 days ago
The main thing is wanting something soft that doesn’t slip around. A lot of owners will put a towel, fleece, blankets, etc. directly on top of slippery floors, so it is not helpful for traction/padding, in addition to making it an easy target for digging up and chewing. A couple options come to mind:
- A larger rug that covers a big area so it’s…

Have an senior/elder bun who needs soft flooring. However, his friend is a much younger girl who loves to dig and rip things.
My default flooring is flannel on top of something or other. The girl completely destroys it so I’ve been laying scored cardboard on top since I have tons of packing boxes. This saves the flannel a little bit and it’s…[Read more]

Welcome to Binkybunny Francis! This is an old post (from 2011), so you’re likely not going to get replies back from the OP. I recommend creating your own topic in the forum instead. I will be locking this topic since it is old.
Directly to your question for now though, a picture of his set-up would be helpful. Rabbits often pee while they’re…[Read more]

One bathroom without a changed pad should be fine.
You can do a butt bath and towel off or use hair dryer (being very careful, I keep one hand on the area I’m drying so I know how hot it gets)

Usually pens are most successful, so if you’re able to limit the area (especially if there is a broken limb), hopefully that will get you some success. When rescues I’ve worked with go out for catching a stray (domestic) rabbit, we tend to bring some xpens and use some to block off areas as well as narrow some things, though depending on the size…[Read more]

I don’t have it yet, but I’m thinking the little one like you said. That’s what I’m afraid of. I have an extra xpen.. I think it can get wet (raining here). I can try that. They didn’t tell me much about treating. I described the injury and they just said they could loan me a trap :/ Not sure if they plan to rehab or humanely euthanize honestly. I…[Read more]

Hello everyone so my rabbit Luna was using her litter box today and when I got home from work, my mom forgot to change her pee pad.’Now she has a wet bum And I was trying to use a baby wipe to clean her, but it didn’t work. She’s an indoor house rabbit so I’m scared of her getting fleas or something. Any advice?

I have no personal experience with cartrophen, but I know of one bun who’s getting it and it seems to work very well. He’s a French lop, so a big bun. I don’t know if he’s on meloxicam too. What does your vet say about cartrophen and meloxicam?

Hi, we are having on going issues with our bunny, been an issue with him since very early on.
He will pee and either stay where he is, or go and sit in his pee. Seems to like the “odour pee”. He also goes and pees if we annoy him.
He has no issues eating, drinking and moving around. Grooms himself regularly (more than his female friend).
He…[Read more]

What kind of trap? Bunnies don’t usually go into those little cage traps. I think people have better luck setting up a pen with food and then closing the “door” with the bunny inside. You have to work up to it though, getting the bunny accustomed to finding food in said pen.

Is he on any meds for the arthritis? My very senior bunny was just on meloxicam continuously after he reached a certain age. But at that point, it was better to make him comfortable than to fret about possible side effects.

My 13+ bun is increasingly not comfortable with me. He was the most chill bun before, the one I’d let little kids hold without issues. Now, he’s peed a couple times while I try to pick him up or in my lap. He’s also bitten a few times which he’s never done before and was unthinkable behavior from him until recently.
My vets think he’s still the…[Read more]
