Those medications are safe for use in rabbits. I’m usually OK with a vet flipping a bunny if needed to do medical procedures (vs. some people just carrying their rabbit around like “a baby”). There are ways to hold them not completely flipped to do those things, but some bunnies struggle a lot.

All of that said though, if you didn’t have a great…[Read more]

Also just to circle back to something that was said earlier in the thread, you might talk to your vet about treating for E Cuniculi as a precaution given the urinary incontinence issues. The medicine for it is very well tolerated, and the tests for it are really unreliable, so many vets will opt to treat for it if there is any suspicion.

There are stories of such bonds, but they are not the norm. Wick is correct, any bond that develops between a neutered male and unspayed female is going to be less stable than if both individuals are neutered/spayed. Hormones have the tendency to get in the way of bonding. Not only would the female feel territorial, she may experience false…[Read more]

From what you’re describing, I would say it is likely the water bowl too. You could try a shallower bowl to see if that helps. As Wick said though, it never hurts to bring something up with the vet. If they don’t know something is a problem, then they may not pick up on it during an exam.

For the future, I always recommend mentioning everything to a vet. Them not mentioning it can simply be them not noticing/not realizing it is unusual/abnormal– they have so many things to check during a general exam, so it’s good to let them know when there are particular things you have noticed. You are with your rabbit the most, so you can…[Read more]

Ah sorry I forgot to attach them here!! So I noticed awhile back that he had a small spot on his chin but it never grew or anything. I’d pat it with a towel to help him out and our vet never mentioned anything during our wellness exam a few months ago. So I figured it was the bowl. I checked right before I left a month ago and it was still the…[Read more]

The wooden parts of their pen, tape off boxes, and paper. 🙄

I do not recommend trying any bond where one rabbit is not yet fixed. Hormones may not only impact the intact rabbit, but also the behavior of a fixed rabbit as well. Hormones are invisible and unpredictable, therefore ‘bonds’ that include at least one intact rabbit is naturally going to not be as secure and stable as one with all rabbits…[Read more]

No photos appear, but I notice you posted on RabbitsOnline and saw them there!

There is dampness just on the chin; not the corners of the mouth. It is minimal with no apparent fur loss.

Based on this, my first thought is actually the water vessel your rabbit drinks from. Rabbits do a pretty good job at drying water bowl drip, but it can take a…[Read more]

Thank you so so much Bam, I really appreciate this information it has helped so much!!!

Some rabbits can be free-fed and there are pellets (like Sherwood) that are designed for that. However, this doesn’t work for a lot of bunnies. As Wick said, it can lead to not eating enough hay. So the answer really is… it depends. If your bunny is able to have the free-fed type pellets and still eats plenty of hay, then I don’t see any harm in…[Read more]

Ruby’s is pretty general, but she really does love baseboards and door frames! She will still make attempts through the 3 layers of masking tape but gives up quickly. She also loves to tear up any fabric. Bottom of the futon, blankets, clothing….her nickname is Ruby Chew.

As mentioned in the BB diet overview (https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/healthy-diet/), transitioning to limited daily Timothy pellet serving is recommended for rabbits older than 6mo.

If I’m understanding correctly, you are looking at pellets that are advertised as free fed for serving. I and many others caution against that because for many…[Read more]
