I have 2 buns 1 male 1 female both spayed and neutered. I give them small pet select 2nd cutting timothy hay (unlimited supply) and oxbow essentials adult rabbit food. I think the problem is…[Read more]

Hi there.

This exact same ordeal happened with my 2 year old male. I am a first time bunny owner and it was very alarming.

Long story short, we syringed water into him, bugged him to move around a bit.

After 6 hours he was his usual self.

On reflecting back on the whole day, I came to the conclusion I had put him into a state of…[Read more]

it can just go away on its own? I thought these things are deadly and need treatment

Sounds like a bit of gas to me. Gas pain can manifest in a variety of ways. The stomach does not need to be hard and gurgling sounds do not need to be heard for it to be gas-related.

Oh yes, I remember Kuro. He had a tough time for sure. Obviously, we have no way of know what truly happened to your bunny. But Bam is correct that there are congenital abnormalities or defects that can cause something like this.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I’m sure it was a shock.

I’m very sorry about your bun.

A former member here had a bun, Kuro, who had weird blood vessels. He had several health issues, and the vets didnt recommend neutering him. When he had acute abdominal surgery for a blockage, the vein in the ear where the IV canula was put (they often put a canula there in case the bun needs rapid resuscitation…[Read more]

A few days ago my beloved bunny, Brenda died during her spay. She was almost exactly one year old and appeared perfectly healthy and super active. The vet did a bunch of blood tests before the spay and they came back normal except for a ‘mild increase in LE’s’, which the vet said was common and not an issue. Right after the surgery, the vet called…[Read more]

I was wondering if anyone has experienced sth similar. My baby suddenly didn’t want her usual veggies last night at around 10.30 PM. She just sat there in the corner by her litter box where she never usually sits, and just stares into space. I tried everything—food, treats, fruits, oats, nothing compelled her. She didn’t even want to run aroun…[Read more]

This is not something done very exactly as most pet rabbits are mixed breeds, so growth trajectory will not really be predictable nor standard considering any two NDs or Holland Lops or Flemish Giants will, in the background, have other genetics at play. Even show standards for breed weights are arbitrarily set.

I know rabbits grow at different rates but I was wondering if anyone had actually every tracked them?

IE if you have weights for your bun from X age to X age and to see if there is an average amongst breeds?

I have just adopted 2 mini lops and since they are 2 or 3 years old I won’t be able to do this experiment myself – so just wondering if…[Read more]

The move might actually be really helpful because you will have all new territory at your new place. If they don’t fight in the car you could even have them ride to the new place together.

Another thing to try is a larger space. I’ve always had terrible luck with small spaces, with things tending to escalate to fights much more quickly. So I…[Read more]

We brought Circe home on April 27, so it hasn’t been terribly long. We’re in the process of moving, so I’d love to do as much bonding as we can before then but understand I might not get far before.
DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding New Female to Existing M/F Pair in the forum BONDING 1 year, 2 months ago

I think focusing on the two girls is a good plan. I have a failed trio that was the same combo… girls can be really tough. My two girls just were not make any progress after working with them for months, even though they easily bonded with males.

How long have you been working with them?
MountOlympus started the topic Bonding New Female to Existing M/F Pair in the forum BONDING 1 year, 2 months ago

Hi there!

We’re bonding a ~1 year old female named Circe to our existing M/F pair (Zeus and Persephone, both around 4 and bonded for 1.5 years).

Bonding Zeus and Persephone was a breeze, and we’ve been trying the same techniques we used the first time with the trio (stress bonding with a car ride, petting everyone in the bathtub/small box, inc…[Read more]
