I would be worried about dosage with adding turmeric and ginger myself, but I did used to give my senior the Oxbow joint support treats regularly. He also seemed to benefit from the Floppers Garden “Old Bones Mix” that had some soothing herbs in it and was formulated by an herbalist. I think a lot of these products are more helpful with prevention…[Read more]

I would stop the pencillin before jumping to euthanasia, personally. Are you syringe feeding her a recovery food (like critical care)? It’s really important to feed her if she won’t eat hay on her own. Cheez its and fruits are only going to make her feel worse.

Amazing thank you!

My female bun has just been spayed and she was chinning everything in her area after I cleaned it and I just wondered if she was wasting her time bless her 🤣

Hi! I replied in your other thread so I’m locking this one!

Thank you for taking this bun in!

She is probably a mixed breed, most pet buns are. Her big ears indicate that she still has quite some growing to do.

Rabbits dont seem to care at all about breed, they arent as “different” personality-wise as dog of different breeds can be. This is probably because they havent traditionally been bred for work.…[Read more]

The glands probably work but the rabbit’s own scent will have changed to an extent.

Neutered rabbits certainly keep chinning stuff. If you have two neutered rabbits living separately and you have them change places (common in pre-bonding), the rabbits will chin the other bun’s stuff. Then when you put them back in their normal places, they will…[Read more]

I think the logic surrounding the extra protein is that senior buns can have trouble keeping weight on, so extra protein may help them maintain. And yes, turmeric and ginger are anti-inflammatory, which isn’t a bad thing for senior buns. There are supplements available though too, so you could give those things to them that way.

Thanks for the response. I haven’t heard that about bioavailability but I have heard that compressed pellets are more of a choking risk. They really like what they’re on so I think I’ll stick with it for now then.

Some say that extruded pellets are better bc the nutrients are more biologically available in that type pellets. Oxbow are compressed pellets. I dont know which type is best, my rabbit savvy vet says any premium quality grass hay based pellet with a fiber content of at least 20% (insoluble) fiber is good. I use extruded pellets for my bun, but I…[Read more]
