I’m sorry that happened 🙁 Rabbits are beautiful pets but also very fragile and you didn’t necessarily do anything wrong. They can take a turn very quickly. You took him to an emergency exotic vet and that was the right move.

In the future I recommend watching every meal so you know immediately if someone isn’t eating like normal. I also would…[Read more]

Hmm, are you sure this is happening with both bunnies, or is it just one?

Do their other poops look normal? As in, are there normal poops + excess cecotropes, or does it seem like all the poops are soft?

Have you reached out to where you adopted them from to see if this was a problem before?

Sorry for all the questions!

Agreed, I like the hard-sided carriers sized for a large cat. There are some now with both front and top openings, which seem ideal for bunnies.

You want one that the bun can fit in comfortably, but not so big that they will slide around a lot if there is a sudden change of direction.

I will echo what LBJ10 said and add that I find it a lot easier to get rabbits in and out of a carrier with a top opening.  There are some carriers that open both on the side and the top, and some with just the top opening.

Hi everyone,

They have full time access to the carriers andd they recieve treats in there. They also get a handful of alfalfa after the torture of sitting in the car for two minutes XD Nova is very sensitive and has very good intuition, he knows that I plan to use the carriers before I touch them.

Thank you for you concerns. He is free of…[Read more]

There arent always two incisions for a neuter, they can remove both testes through the same incision.

Thank you for the input Dana!

I’ve tried all kinds of cardboard including a cat scratcher. They didn’t care about it at all. lol

Just looked up the snak shak. If it’s classed as a treat, is it safe to let them have extended access to it? As in several hours?

Luckily I work from home so I’m with them the entire time they’re around the carpet.…[Read more]

I’ve only ever used hard-sided ones with a towel or blanket. It seems a lot of the soft-sided ones are not sturdy enough or bunnies chew on them. But that’s just me.

Nibbling is fine. You will want to discourage actual eating of the litter though. Large amounts can cause an obstruction. Have you considered a litter screen?

I recommend cardboard cat scratchers for carpet chewing, and using heavy ceramic tiles to block the “hot spots” that they like to chew the most. I also have had really good success with the “snak shak” log for my most active buns. It lasts a long time because it’s super hard. I usually reserve mine so they can only access it during exercise time,…[Read more]

Thank you, the litter helped. I used to use just hay and a pee pad, apparently that wasn’t enough for her white fur. But is it okay for her to occasionally eat her litter? I notice she does that. BTW I use Oxbow Eco-Straw Litter.

Wouldn’t there be two incisions?
