Kiln dried pine us safe. Spruce is listed as potentially toxic, but it isn’t clear if that is because it contains something pine does not… or if it simply needs to be kiln dried first like pine does.

That’s a good idea Bam! And you actually reminded me of something. Do they still make those potpourri crock pots? They were meant to melt wax potpourri. Anyway, I had one many years ago that had a decent sized bowl (i.e. it was shaped like a mini crock pot). I was able to add water and dried potpourri to it. The warmer heated it up enough to help…[Read more]

I have only made potpourri with flowers and leaves from my garden. It’s too late in the year for roses now, and store bought roses are not really grown for fragrance, just for looks.

I think any herbs would do great. Rosemary, mint, lavender, chamomille, sage, lemon balm, herb fennel. Some herbs dont have much of a lasting fragrance when they’re…[Read more]

Ha, I actually have no idea! Don’t even remember which one it was. I only saw it because the vet was examining him and I was on the other side of the table so I saw the underside of his paw but his was much more red than your buns’. I was alarmed because thought it was inflamed but I didn’t have a reference point. The vet did say that digit…[Read more]

same for me! she has a lot thick fur on her paws, front and back ones! may i ask, did it normalize on your bunnies?

answering, i just noticed two red beans! the other ones are light pink!

understood! i’ll remove some tiles and invest on carpets, i’ll watch how she’a going to adapt. also her nails are clipped! vet clipped it past week luckly!

when she’s exploring my room, she’ll have access to tiles, regular carpets and wood tile also! but she likes to play with boxes and clothes! and enjoys to sleep in my bed hahaha

Bunnies will naturally develop wear spots on their feet over time. We often think of their back feet (hocks), but you can end up with exposed front paw pads as well. They will often develop a callous in these areas. As long as it isn’t inflamed, red, cracking, bleeding, etc. then it isn’t anything to be too concerned about. You can change up their…[Read more]

Are they actually different from the others or just that you notice the two?

Reason I ask is because I noticed one on one of my buns before and asked my vet, who said it wasn’t an issue. They are normally like that but usually their fur just covers it so one doesn’t notice it. In my case, thinning fur wasn’t an issue as it was an elder bun. May…[Read more]

I couldn’t pin the cage image for a reason, but it’s about 1,5 m X 1,5 M, the “roof” of it is covered by tiles and spaces were she can rest her foot. It has two bottle of water, a bathroom separated and a hay space! It’s were i place her while i’m sleeping or had to go out of the house for hours.

Thanks!

I have used some just in my room and left the rest of the house clear, I reapply every couple days then will likely stop completely in a few weeks when the season ends… For a year anyway.

It does sound the same as what happened to one of your buns! She also had to stay in overnight and Glenn stayed with her at the hospital overnight, I do think he helped her! She actually chewed through her IV after a little while so they switched to frequent subq fluids or something similar.

Oooh a potpourri bowl sound like a great idea! Would…[Read more]

It does sound like a partial blockage near where the stomach connects to the intestine. That’s the most common location for a partial blockage. (One of my buns had that. Vet treated with spasmolytics and iv fluids and pain meds. He had to stay over at the animal hospital).

With a partial blockage like that, the body will pull fluids into the…[Read more]

I still haven’t really found the cause, some signs are pointing to stress (she’s sensitive to even minor things that wouldn’t really bother other buns too much) and fur ingestion, she has long hair and does all the grooming for herself and Glenn (we do trim her) . I may just have to except that sometimes it’s just unclear what causes it, it’s just…[Read more]

Thank you for your response! She’s been munching on Oxbow hay and even completely chewed, ate, and swallowed a whole willow stick without leaving crumbs but just won’t have it with her regular hay. I ordered her a new batch so hopefully it’s just that 🙁 I don’t mind throwing stuff out , just want her to eat normally. Also ordered her a sampler…[Read more]
