It can be tough, but keep in mind that care tasks like medication administration, nail trimming, and grooming are things that take up generally less than an hour within a 24hr day and do not happen often, so you have a LOT of time outside those events. As someone who had a rabbit who would literally wheeze outloud due to panic, I can tell you that…[Read more]

The new environment can definitely cause marking in even the most litterbox adherent rabbits, so overtime as it becomes less new and also as you can observe where she likes to go, you can make adjustments accordingly to increase litterbox adherence.

I changed things on Sunday. Things do seem a bit better today. I was at my wits end yesterday!

I just pluck instead of trying to brush one of my buns Dorian. He seems to have very sensitive skin and he hated being brushed/combed. He however loves being pet so I just sit next to him and pluck the loose hair out. Honestly I think I get more fur than with the comb, and I can do the sessions for longer. That said my other little bun Miu does…[Read more]

thanks. I will just wait until after his check up. I am going to just have his 1 month follow-up appointment be with his regular vet and she has no issues with Miu coming along. She actually has owned bunnies and understands bonded pairs. The emergency vet though I think very capable didn’t seem like they did, and were very opposed to her coming…[Read more]

Hmmm, how long ago did you move her to the new enclosure? A little marking is common when a bun moves to a new place or things get shuffled around, but usually it subsides in a couple weeks or so.

Aww little guys! It’s common for new moms to not be great at carrying for them, they are lucky to have you!

Hi Az485!

This thread is rather old, and the original poster is no longer active on the forums. It’d be great if you started a thread of you own on this topic, with some details about your bun and his situation!

(We ask our members to not reopen older threads, since medical information gets outdated really quickly. )

I’m locking this thread now.

Hey! I saw this post as I was looking for information for my little guy. Did you ever find any resolution for you bun? Our bunny Louis has had almost the exact same thing happen to him recently and we (and his vet) are currently trying to find what the cause may be.

I came across this post and wonder if you ever found what the cause was?

Thanks…[Read more]

My “maybe baby” is a grumpy mama. She does not want to feed them, I am doing an additional feeding with kmr to keep their tummies full. They babies started opening their eyes yesterday. They scoot all over, testing their mini hoppers. I love seeing their ears pop up when I talk to them. Thank you all so much. I will continue to keep updating. Now…[Read more]

Yes, bribery can go a long way. Mine would be angry and couldn’t wait to be put down. But the second their feet hit the floor, they knew to turn around because a special treat was coming.

Aww I know it can be really hard. The first thing to remember is that it is kind of a “tough love” thing. It’s important to groom bunnies during molting so they don’t get sick, so it really should be done. I have a bun (Bonnie) that is traumatized from being in the shelter for 3-4 years, and she just hates being picked up and handled. I compromise…[Read more]

That must have been such a shock, what an awful situation 😥

I’m very sorry for the loss of your little friend, binky free sweet Elmer…

I’m so sorry for your loss… It’s really rare to have such a deep bond with a bun, you did so many things together.

People don’t expect this indeed, if I hear “it’s just a rabbit” one more time, I may start to whack people on the head. Rabbits are definitely capable of deep emotional bonds, as long as you’re kind and caring.

It sounds like you…[Read more]
