I agree with what Gleen says. If you have simethicone baby gas drops, you can give 1 ml of that per hour. It wont replace proper vet care if sth is really wrong, but it can be very effective against gas.

As Glenn says, keeping the bun warm is extremely important.

Try to make you bun move around, that helps the intestines move so gas can get…[Read more]

Hey.

How is your bunny doing now and how long has it been since she last ate? Sometimes streas can make them stop eating for a short while. Not eating for 6-12 hours is an emergency in rabbits and you should seek vet attention.

Sometimes rabbits ears can be a little cold when their body is not, but these rabbits are typically still very alert. A…[Read more]

Hi!

Aww its so nice to hear about all these animals you look after and raise. Very sweet.

Before considering breed ect please consider if a rabbit is right for you, unfortunately there are a lot of misconceptions about rabbit care. In short rabbits are not cheap or easy pets. Often cats are actually much easier than rabbits to look after and…[Read more]

I’m a sucker for giant breeds! They’re not that common in the city I think because everyone’s always shocked if they see or hear about her. And yes Tybalt’s a mini lop 🙂

A tooth can get fractured. Something can get stuck between two teeth. Something can get stuck inside the mouth (this happened to one of my dogs, a piece of a stick got lodged from one side to the other, above the tongue. She drooled profusely. I couldnt see what was wrong, but when I stuck my hand in her mouth I of course found the twig and could…[Read more]

One of my rabbits is a lionhead.  He will let you give him a few pats, but that’s it.  We don’t dare pick him up and try to snuggle with him.  Almost no rabbits like to be held, actually.  As prey animals, it frightens them.  They usually will struggle to get out of your grasp and they can injure themselves.  Many rabbits do like to sit besid…[Read more]

She has started to make noises when ever I go near her so I think its a good indication that she is carrying some babies. I’m kinda excited about it  and wondering what colors she’ll have.

Nice cute bunny. I quite like the giant breeds but they are rare in this neck of the woods. Is that a minilop you have too? I have a mini lop who I rescued. Mine is an albino.

For cages and birds its much better and cheaper to buy/salvage some timber and buy some wire and build your own bird cages or aviary. You can do the same with your bunnies, build them a decent enclosure. You have plenty of materials state side to build stuff. You can use a combination of all kinds of things, puppy pen panels being popular among…[Read more]

He let me see it closer when he was cleaning today. However, I still haven’t found any abnormalities even under fur. I will take him to a vet on Monday, hopefully he is going to get better soon!

I’ve seen some creative bunny homes on here. I need to re-build the bunny summer house outside because there has been mice coming up from the outside pipes and building nests under the living room door step and help themselves to the rabbit food. All this needs to be addressed so the existing summer bunny home needs to come down and every thing…[Read more]

Nothing wrong with washing your hands, etc. before interacting with them. But I don’t think you need to avoid them. 🙂

Oh wow! Not what I was expecting. LOL

I’m glad you were able to find a vet to take care of this. Botflies are nasty little things and the larvae are difficult to remove. You have to make sure you get the whole thing. With animals, you pretty much have to sedate them because they have to be completely still for this.

Thanks for the update! It was good you had it checked. We couldn’t really see that in the photo. If there is a bit of an infection, it’s good to get on top of it before it gets worse.

A bun can molt in patches during one molt, and molt like “all over” during the next. It’s still normal, but I agree it can look weird. It’s always good to ask when you notice sth about your bun that seems weird!

thank you guys for your replies! She usually doesn’t go bald like this when she molts so that’s why I was concerned. 

Oh, great! Thank you for the update! 😃 Fingers crossed for his swift recovery, it’s of course great that he hasnt seemed much bothered by this.

Oh, wow 😳 So glad you went to a good vet who knew what it was a could remove it! I looked up  botflies and it seems that maintenance treatment with ivermectin or imidacloprid during fly-season could lower the risk of warbles. Keeping your bun inside will of course be the safest thing, but as your vet says, there’s risk and benefit to take into…[Read more]
