I see thank you so much I’ve never heard of the brand beaphar before is it sold in the US? If so where do you get it I definitely have to look into them thanks again and I can’t wait to get them either sadly the Runt passed away  She had a weaker immune system and with the cold weather and the heating went out it just took a toll on her but the…[Read more]

I definitely cope better with things knowing what’s going on, even if it’s something I can’t do anything about.

I just heard from the vet, his blood work is amazing, no concerns there. She said at this stage age-related epilepsy is most likely, whether that’s brought on chemically or physically by growths is unknown.

On the plus side, if I…[Read more]

Thank you so much, everyone!  Teddy was doing stellar until today, when he was more similar to last Sunday.  Not as bad off and not necessarily doing the tooth grinding thing (but maybe? at one point it was hard to tell if he was doing that or actually chewing), and he’s now started eating a little more (kale and pellets) on his own, so I’m g…[Read more]

It happens. I wouldn’t be overly worried. Yes, he could be “craving” something… but he probably just likes his poop.

Were her normal poops soft, or did she just have extra cecals? It’s pretty normal for young rabbits to have extra cecals because the diet is more rich.

And yes it would be ok to just provide some alfalfa along side her timothy, and give a bit extra pellets. I would also weigh her regularly and feel along her spine and hip bones to make sure she…[Read more]

Oh Thank You! This is good to know. I think I will play it safe and stick to the healthier snacks for them 🙂

Most junior pellets say they are up to 20 weeks though, so i transitioned her from her junior pellets a couple weeks ago as she will be 20 weeks soon and didn’t want to buy a whole new bag of junior pellets. I think I might get her some alfalfa hay and she can have it alongside with the hay she is eating now?

And about the unlimited pellets, I…[Read more]

Thank you that’s really helpful 😀

I think it would be best to just continue with the set-up you have, with one change. As cute as it is for them to give kisses through the bars, that can easily turn into nose-nipping, which can create some bad feelings and make bonding more difficult. I’ve also seen some bad injuries to buns faces from noses being bitten through fencing.  I would…[Read more]

I would syringe feed her if she refuses to eat on her own. Fluids are awesome but she does need some food going in so she doesn’t go into stasis. And definitely contact your vet and give them these updates.

If she is only 4 months old she should have a source of alfalfa in her diet. Most people prefer to feed a junior rabbit pellet with alfalfa, rather than having alfalfa hay, because it can be harder to transition to grass hay when a bun has been getting only alfalfa. But, you can give adult pellets and some alfalfa hay instead. At her age she can…[Read more]

https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Pellets#How_can_I_tell_if_a_pellet_is_sufficiently_nutritious?

Take a look here for multiple recommended parameters for a nutritious, good quality pellet.

Science Selective is a good quality brand though, so generally anything you get from them will be fine in appropriate quantities!

To be honest, I didn’t read everything (I’m commuting right now, haha), but direct to your question, I wouldn’t start do anything aside from maybe doing prebonding stuff, like swapping litterboxes and having them housed close to each other (but no touching).

Of note, how rabbits interact across bars is NOT a reliable indicator of how they will…[Read more]

Generally, many treats made by “lower quality brands”, let’s say, will rely more heavily on rice and such as binders — as you mention, it’s not ideal reliative to something nutritious, but it’s not instantly toxic or anything. In small quantities, it can be fine.

Potato is a no-go though — the plant itself and unripe fruit are indeed toxic to rabbits.

Thanks for the info!! How do I know if I have a high quality pellet? Right now i’m feeding selective adult pellets and giving about 2-3 spoons a day split into two feedings but she wont settle down unless i give her some veg too and she also eats all her hay. I seen somewhere that younger rabbits up until 7-8 months need slightly more pellets so i…[Read more]
