Hi DanaNM,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond to my post! Buddy was taking 0.20cc (100 mg/ml) of Fenbendazole once daily for 28 days. He was on two rounds of Fenbendazole, once in September and once in November, with still no changes in his e cuniculi numbers. Our vet mentioned that depending on how severe the e cuniculi…[Read more]

I too use pine pellets. They are more absorbant than paper litter, but they compost a great deal slower, so they’re not a good option if you’re planning to dispose of the litter in a compost bin.

This forum has helped me so much in finding information & I finally decided to make an account because I wanted to hear people’s views on neuters because of my experience.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Reactions to anesthesia are very rare, but they do happen. Even in people. He was a beautiful bun. You were doing the right thing by having him neutered, especially since you wanted to get him a friend.

Most people enjoy the Tractor Supply Co pine pellet litter (US) which is sold 40lb for $6-7. If your rabbit begins eating it or there are concerns about comfort (they are hard pellets that breakdown when wet), you can put a litter screen on top.

I’m very sorry for your loss, and it makes sense that this terrible experience generates hesitation to consider neutering another rabbit. As Bam mentions, rabbit anesthesia combined with a healthy rabbit and experienced rabbit vet is very safe, but there are sometimes things we cannot foresee, even with doing bloodwork or things ahead of time.

I’m very sorry you lost Milo. He was beautiful.

Rabbit anaesthesia is a lot safer nowadays than it used to be, but adverse reactions still occur, albeit rarely.

Testicular cancer can develop spontaneously. It’s not a common form of cancer in rabbits, and the reason why the incidence has risen these last few years is simply that rabbits live…[Read more]
