So… why do you not want the bunny in the office? Is it purely because you don’t want to “share” with your sister? I love my bunny to death, but there’s no way he would be in the same room where I’m trying to sleep. LOL

LBJ10 replied to the topic Cataracts surgery for bunnies? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 11 months, 1 week ago
What kind of cataract is it? Front or back? Also, cataracts can be caused by EC so you may want to take that into consideration.

Can you wean her off of it instead of just stopping?

Miu still isn’t really eating post vet visit, despite not having anything obvious wrong. I am guessing gas and pain from that initially. Now not sure, but vet sent her home and she seemed to be improving a bit and ate a tiny bit of hay and pellets, but not enough and she refuses critical care. Just will not swallow. I have tried a few things,…[Read more]

I tried lint roller, but it’s a big NOPE! from Dorian and didn’tevenworkas well as damp hands. I wish it did!
(Also I don’t seem to get emails on replies even though I thought I had set it that way. Should check)

So very sorry, that is so rough and I get how you feel, been there too, but you are not to blame! (Sadly the people who might be rarely feel guilt). I also get not being up for dealing with more loss, so if you find it easier to let your sister have her and give yourself some time to grieve before considering another bunny that is valid. But m…[Read more]

I am sadly at the vets again, this time with Miu. I suspect its gas, she was in a lot of pain and not eating. Luckily she doesn’t seem to bad, but I didn’t want to risk it. Right now waiting for blood work and hoping I can take her home soon.
During the initial exam the vet mentioned she had cataracts, which we suspected, but figured nothing c…[Read more]

Yes, peeing on the bed can and likely will still occur even when spayed/neutered. It’s important to keep in mind that rabbits are not “litterbox trained” in the same way cats are– rabbits tend to eat, poop, and pee at the same time, so it happens to be if you set up a box with hay, they will use it consistently. This does not stop them however…[Read more]

Hi! Thank you so so much for replying quickly.
My parents understand the whole bunnyProofing thing, they love helping out when I petsit. We also already have an x-pen so I already have an area like that! But it takes up a lot of space in my room and what I want to do is to keep the bunny in the x-pen for the first while and once I feel like the…[Read more]

To be completely honest, I most often recommend people who still live with their parents (and those parents are not completely on board nor knowledgeable about rabbit care) to wait until they move out and have more control to get a rabbit.
While the free roaming arrangements sound fine, there is a lot of money and trial and error needed to…[Read more]

Hi!
I am 15 and looking to adopt a bunny. I live with my parents, obviously, and I’ve almost convinced them to let me keep a bun, but they still have two concerns. I’m putting together a presentation that I can show them, to fully convince them! The bunny I’m looking to adopt is coming in my area on September 13, so I want to convince them as…[Read more]

Thinning shears have the teeth on them. They just thin out the fur. Trimming shears would be more like regular scissors. I think you could try the thinning shears and see if it causes the fur to mat. Like I said, they did not work well with wool. But lionhead mane fur is a different texture.

Yes, that’s what I meant by shears. I guess I’ll just try and see. I actually saw a video where they just trim all around similar bun with normal scissors 😯

LBJ10 replied to the topic Poked Eye With Hay in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 11 months, 2 weeks ago
She could just be wary of that eye since it got poked… and then rinsed… and there was a lot of fuss. But I would have her seen by a vet soon if it doesn’t seem better after a couple of days. Sometimes a simple poke can cause a lot of damage, especially if a sliver of hay was left behind.

My baby poked her eye on Friday night. I rinsed her eye thoroughly to make sure there’s no foreign objects in it. After I made her eye wet her bottom eyelid started drooping downward, like it couldn’t stick to her eye anymore. I’m thinking it was because it was so wet though, cause it went back to normal in like 5-10 mins. I’m hoping that’s…[Read more]

I’d like to thin out my Lionhead’s mane, basically all around face, but the sides the most important (ahhh, whiskers!). It’s much much thicker than other lionheads I’ve dealt with. I don’t think there’s guard hairs in mane. Very little gets hairbusted out; tons of fur from rest of body with hairbuster. I have other brushes too but I don’t think…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Looking for shears in the forum DIET & CARE 11 months, 2 weeks ago
It depends on the fur type. What are we dealing with? If it’s wool with guard hairs, then I would not recommend the thinning shears. Those seem to just make matting worse. I would use trimming shears that were basically just like regular scissors. Like I said, you need to be very careful though because there isn’t any kind of guard to prevent you…[Read more]
