I like the idea of filling a bag w/ some hay and hiding a broken up treat inside– perhaps cut some slits in the bag so they can really go at it!

Thanks for the responses! I will see what I can do about getting the fluffers into a vet.

Hopefully it’s nothing and they are just super excited about their food. lol.

I also learned that the head shake ruffle thing they do is a head binky… I had no idea that even existed! 😲

Why are bunnies just so adorable?! 😫

I agree. I would be wary too if this were something new. Yes, some bunnies are very vocal. But it’s one of those things where they have “always” been that way. Considering they are 10 and they just started this, I would at least have their vet check it out. Just to be sure.

Yes, chronic sneezing doesn’t happen for no reason. There are some conditions that cause chronic sneezing, like problems with the sinuses and tooth roots. I had a bunny with this problem. But that certainly isn’t the norm. Usually, chronic sneezing is caused by a URI and antibiotics can clear that up. Most vets will simply prescribe a…[Read more]

It’s very possible that she is sensitive to something in her diet. I could be the veggies she is getting or it could even be the pellets. This will take some time to figure out because you’re going to have to eliminate things and then give one thing at a time to see if the gas comes back. That would be the only way to pinpoint exactly what is…[Read more]

I recommend seeking veterinary consultation before starting any treatment. Re: the antibiotic, there would be no point in changing it at this point since it’s never been tried before– I was just mentioning that if you tried it and it didn’t work, it just may not be effective toward the particular strain your rabbit has.

If your vet already…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the quick reply. Yes the wet sound is typical for him except the days he has less congestion it is more regular sounding sneezes. The sneezing happens all the time, but especially during drinking and eating hay. I clean the water bowl with soap once a day, and rinse and refill multiple times a day, and feed Oxbow prime cut hay…[Read more]

7 sneezes per hour isn’t really typical, and while rabbits w/ smooshed faces can have respiratory issues, I personally don’t attribute it to random, chronic sneezing. If the sneezing is generally always associated w/ an action, like eating hay or drinking water, then I’d be more inclined to say it’s normal external irritations. If it’s happening…[Read more]

Hi Meatloaf and Bunnito!

Some buns are naturally vocal, but since this is sth new for you buns, and they are 10 years old, I think I’d like for a vet to listen to their lungs. My bun Bam started making squeaky noises, when he ate, especially when he ate sth really delicious. They werent very loud noises, but quite noticeable, and it turned out it…[Read more]

That sounds like a good plan.  🙂  If you adopt a bonded pair then you can give TWO bunnies a home and they can keep each other company while they are boarded. (haha sorry i’m a bad influence) 😉

Yes, I wouldn’t be concerned unless there are other symptoms. Lots of bunnies think their litter box is a comfortable bed.

Fewer pellets and more hay is your best bet for weight loss. You can try splitting up her ration to make it “last longer”. Or, you could encourage movement by putting her pellets in a toy or treat ball.

Unfortunately the only person i trust to do so will be gone with me at the time. The vet is a bunny vet and they do have special quiet bunny only places. But i know my bun never liked going to the cage since she was 100% free roam. I’ll reach out to the local SPCA and rescue folks and start looking at fostering, soo many bunnies that need love and…[Read more]
