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]

Hmmmm, maybe her arthritis is starting to make her feel like sleeping in her box instead?  Do you think she could be older than 3?

Many buns sometimes do this, it’s not uncommon and usually not a cause for concern unless it’s paired with other symptoms. Also many buns don’t eat too much during the day as they are sleeping, so that’s also not…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss. 🙁

No one can really tell you when is too soon, as that is going to be different for everyone. But in my mind, if you are finding yourself wanting another bun, then it is not too soon. There are so many rabbits in shelters that need homes, so I don’t think of it as “replacing” the bun, but as giving another bun in…[Read more]

I would avoid fruits for now. It’s really important to get good hay-eating habits established, which will lead to healthy teeth and healthy gut flora. You can start introducing greens though, very slowly. Usually no more than 1 new green per week, starting with a small amount and gradually increasing. Most people start with romaine or other types…[Read more]

Thank you very much for both of your replies, i appreciate the advice and knowledge. He is indeed 4 months now and starting to notice him being a lot more chewy with things around the house and including our clothes that we’re wearing! What is the best way to discipline a bunny?

We had thought about taking away the digging box we made him but he…[Read more]

Hello again –

The last few days have been a whirlwind. He went to the vet and stayed there for general observation and investigation.

There is nothing wrong with the bun and pain has been pinpointed as the cause. Even with his painkillers increased, I have been told that it is not uncommon for some rabbits to take a little more time than…[Read more]

I am so so sorry for your loss. 🙁

I completely agree with Bam, it sounds like something was very seriously wrong with your sweet Henry. I lost a bun very similarly years ago and it was so traumatizing. There can be so many serious things wrong with rabbits that all present the same way (liver torsion, a twisted loop of the intestine, etc), you…[Read more]

I am so very sorry you lost Henry.

You did the right thing when you took him to the vet. The vet told you to take him in. If you hadnt done that, the likelihood is very high that he would’ve passed at home that sane day, and then you would  always wonder if maybe he could’ve been saved if you’d taken him in.

You didnt betray him. Its very clear…[Read more]
