Welcome to Binkybunny Francis! This is an old post (from 2011), so you’re likely not going to get replies back from the OP. I recommend creating your own topic in the forum instead. I will be locking this topic since it is old.

Directly to your question for now though, a picture of his set-up would be helpful. Rabbits often pee while they’re…[Read more]

One bathroom without a changed pad should be fine.

You can do a butt bath and towel off or use hair dryer (being very careful, I keep one hand on the area I’m drying so I know how hot it gets)

Usually pens are most successful, so if you’re able to limit the area (especially if there is a broken limb), hopefully that will get you some success. When rescues I’ve worked with go out for catching a stray (domestic) rabbit, we tend to bring some xpens and use some to block off areas as well as narrow some things, though depending on the size…[Read more]

I don’t have it yet, but I’m thinking the little one like you said. That’s what I’m afraid of. I have an extra xpen.. I think it can get wet (raining here). I can try that. They didn’t tell me much about treating. I described the injury and they just said they could loan me a trap :/ Not sure if they plan to rehab or humanely euthanize honestly. I…[Read more]

I have no personal experience with cartrophen, but I know of one bun who’s getting it and it seems to work very well. He’s a French lop, so a big bun. I don’t know if he’s on meloxicam too. What does your vet say about cartrophen and meloxicam?

Hi, we are having on going issues with our bunny, been an issue with him since very early on.

He will pee and either stay where he is, or go and sit in his pee. Seems to like the “odour pee”. He also goes and pees if we annoy him.

He has no issues eating, drinking and moving around. Grooms himself regularly (more than his female friend).

He…[Read more]

What kind of trap? Bunnies don’t usually go into those little cage traps. I think people have better luck setting up a pen with food and then closing the “door” with the bunny inside. You have to work up to it though, getting the bunny accustomed to finding food in said pen.

Is he on any meds for the arthritis? My very senior bunny was just on meloxicam continuously after he reached a certain age. But at that point, it was better to make him comfortable than to fret about possible side effects.

I use a combo of the “fur buster” comb, hand plucking, and a lint roller 🙂
