Bunnies&Piggies replied to the topic Need help – new bunny mum in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years, 6 months ago
Honestly, we wouldn’t want to buy a bunny anyway given how many are abandoned by their owners or neglected.
I have now started her on critical care until we get her to the vets. I have been concerned about her dental health after doing lots of research beforehand but she seems to be fine with her veggies and nuggets. She’s already a picky eat…[Read more]

Thank you for rescuing her!
For now I would focus on making sure she’s eating, even if it’s too many pellets. Adding critical care seems like a good idea to make sure she’s getting the nutrition she needs. For a rabbit that was eating unlimited pellets, being that thin is concerning. She could have a dental issue which is preventing her from…[Read more]

Hi all, I very recently rescued a Netherland Dwarf from a very sad situation. She was being neglected, only being fed unhealthy veggies, unlimited nuggets and only very small amounts of hay. She’s two years old.
She’s been with us for around two weeks now and she seems to be settling in well but is refusing to eat hay. We’ve lowered her nugge…[Read more]

Most buns don’t like being picked up (and might not ever learn to like it), but I agree it’s too soon to tell if he will learn to like pets. Lionheads know they are gorgeous and make you work for their love! LOL
I don’t think you traumatized him! Keep laying on the ground with him and yes, play hard to get! Beat him at his own game 😉

It’s too soon to tell if he will become a cuddly bun. Most buns do like being pet, esp on the forehead and around the ears. It often takes time though.
Right now Dusty Bun is starting puberty, which means he can have mood swings, be extra skittish, pee and poop mark, display courtship behaviours and just generally be rather restless.
This is…[Read more]

Hi this is Dusty Buns!
I have a question about bonding with your rabbit:) How long does it take? Will he ever be cuddly and love pets or is it his personality?He is 3 1/2 months old male, I’ve had him since January. He is super skittish and it seems like he doesn’t like to be pet or held. After the first couple weeks I saw a good sign that he…[Read more]

I made some cardboard tunnels with hay or hay cubes inside which he now loves! Thanks for the tips about dark spaces!

Thank you everyone for your replies!
A lot of these helped a ton!
1. No giving in even though he’s cute!
2. I tried to spray my perfume( this didn’t help too much) 3. Distracting him with toys and giving him treats for play with the right ones 4. Keeping him entertainedNow he will only try once or twice in the mornings when he first comes out…[Read more]

Oh! That’s a good idea Dana! I like that idea. Hmm…. maybe I need to try that.

It does sound like he is improving. Yes, not all abscesses are equal. The ones that are in the bone are the real nasty ones that you hear horror stories about. If it’s an abscess that formed because of a wound, then those tend to heal more easily. Keep up the good work! His 2nd abscess may just need more time (longer course of antibiotics).
Since…[Read more]

I agree with Dana. My mind went immediately to a bladder issue.

Ok thank you so much for the advice. I will do cage swapping and if that goes well start with shorter sessions and let you know how it goes 🙂
