You can make a slurry of pellets and syringe feed it to her. She needs food in her tummy and nutrients to regain her health. Antibiotics can have inappetence as a side effect.

It can be difficult at first to syringe feed a bun, but you will get the hang of it. You need to be even more stubborn than your bun. Dont wear any nice clothes for the…[Read more]

I mean she’s eating but not much 🙁 she’s been on her meds for 3 days

The antibiotics she’s on is Enrofloxacin. And what do I syringe feed her? I read you can crush up pellets and make them into a slurry for the syringe

Generally placing it between them when it seems one is going to nip? I’m a little lost following how the panel should be used in bonding sessions, but I’ll keep it in mind once I get a better understanding of it. In this session, there wasn’t really any fighting; Shadow just got annoyed of Zelda when she tried to hump him and I think also nipping…[Read more]

OMG that looks like it went AMAZINGLY!

I’m so excited for you! I have actual tears in my eyes seeing them all relaxed together. <3

I might try that too whenever I get a chance to buy some x-pens. Roughly what were the dimensions you used?

Update! I did our first bonding session earlier. I was fully planning to cut it after a few minutes depending how it went, but I ended up keeping them for an hour and a half.

I thought it went really well! Not love at first sight or anything, but I think they’ll be able to work things out after a couple weeks or so. I purposely did this during…[Read more]

That sounds like a good plan, with the garage as a back up.

I’ve actually had the best luck using really large spaces for bonding (Margo DiMello of the San Diego HRS also recommends large spaces). I love using at least 2 x-pens linked up. It seems like it gives them the ability to interact a bit more naturally without things escalating, as they…[Read more]
