Activity

Poor baby! The best thing you can do is give her lots of time to settle in without handling her. Ideally she could be let out to exercise without being picked up, and she should have at least a week to settle in to her housing before you try to interact with her much. She sounds like she was from a very scary place.

At 6 years old, it is very…[Read more]

Wonderful that he’s back to eating! Its just normal if he’s not yet eating quite as much as he usually does, it seems like he’s getting there!

I just meant Dana no doubt will offer great  advice as soon as she sees this and has the opportunity to write. She’s a huge lot more qualified to give advice on bonding matters than I am. I just wanted to…[Read more]

Thanks @Bam! I don’t see @DanaNM Note on the behavior Miu is displaying and what to do… but I am very sleep deprived, so apologies if it’s in plain sight! Maybe you meant the part about taking home from the vet? As he is home not sure.

I haven’t seen any negative behavior yet today,  but she’s been mostly hiding in a box and acting a little…[Read more]

Dusty Buns is exceptionally adorable!

He’s also being a perfectly normal young bun. At nearing 3 months, he’s coming into bunny adolescence, aka bun puberty. It’s great that he used to be perfectly litter trained – this means what’s going on now is due to a hormonal storm. He can’t help it and neither can you.

Your best bet is to bear with him…[Read more]

Thank you for rescuing Emma!

I dont belive she hates you. I think she just doesn’t know that you can be trusted. I think you can convince her, slowly but steadily. With the emphasis on slowly.

I found a fully adult bun in the woods back in the day, my avatar, Bam. He pretty much sat still under the coffee table for a whole year before he -as it…[Read more]

Great that he seems a lot better and is eating more and more on his own! It’s really exactly what you want. CC is a great “topper”.

The ceco you saw is most likely due to his cecal microbiota having been a bit disturbed. This is perfectly normal post surgery. The best remedy for this is hay, water and exercise.

I think Dana can give you great…[Read more]

He is a lot better.  Though, now I really can’t get him to have his CC. Managed 3ml with his meds. He did eat all his salad last night and is eating more hay so hopefully he’s getting a good amount on his own and the bit I gave him will just be a topper. His poops are still on smaller size, but closer to his normal. He did lose a cecotrope. I am…[Read more]

I’m having the same little problem right now! I don’t have a suggestion for litter, but I would suggest to make sure that the litter doesn’t have any baking soda in it. Some store brands put baking soda in there and it’s not good for the buns.

Well done of you to help her! It is unfortunately very common for very young first-time bun mums to not quite grasp the concept of mothering. Very often the kits dont survive because of this. If that should happen, know that you are in no way to blame, it is truly difficult to rear baby buns. It sounds very wise to keep the nest in a dog crate, an…[Read more]

I think it’s so great that you are “writing a book” – in order to fully understand a situation, details, and more details are of the essence.

I’m happy to hear he’s drunk some water and eaten a little! Even pellets, which for some reason often is the last food item a bun goes back to post surgery.

You’re obviously doing great with him.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>My “maybe baby” had her babies, under a pillow on my sofa. I was sad for her. She is just a baby herself. 7 healthy babies that are my responsibility in a house full of Persian cats. They are safe in a Moses basket inside a huge dog cage.  Momma bunny does not really care for the mother role because I need to put her…[Read more]
