Just a quick update we are seeing the exotics vet tomorrow morning 🙂

I’m not in the USA, but I have always had insurance for my buns and no company offers any plan that covers rabbit teeth. It has still been a great help though. The vet must specify what procedures they do and why, and there’s a qualifying period of 30 days for illnesses (not for accidents), so you should look into those terms too before deciding.

I’m so, so sorry.

You could not have done more. Giving him simethicone gas drops etc when he first refused to take a treat would not have made a difference in his case. (Gas drops is just something to start with, really, but it definitely won’t fix anything if there’s a bad underlying cause).

I hope the vets can give you some insights into what…[Read more]

I have Nationwide because a few years ago they purchased a smaller, good insurance company I had. I think they’re the only one now. My experience has been pretty good though. I pay $12/month for one bunny and they have helped with medical bills several times. Once they paid very little, but said they needed my vet’s notes to be able to pay more…[Read more]

To answer your question, the fighting seems like it’s happening earlier (like 30 min in).

I put them in a new room today while I was working (so also during the day). They were together from 9:30-4.

There was regular grooming from both sides (this seems to have progressed from this weekend), with Tipper maybe grooming a little more.

However, t…[Read more]

I got a call they were pleased and sounded like he was in the clear. 5 min later they called back that he crashed and doing CPR. It was over at that point though. He’s gone 🙁

Coats can vary somewhat. I believe there is a “preferred” coat type for Nethies, but some offspring may not inherit that trait. I agree with the others. It’s possible they are what the breeder said they are, just false dwarfs.

I’m only aware of Nationwide.

Unfortunately there isn’t anything outside Nationwide right now, to my knowledge, in the US. I agree that the coverage is not great either. They would not cover any molar grindings Wick had since they were a result of his teeth crookedness, so it wasn’t helpful for me.

If it has been several hours and he is still eating a pooping, then he will probably be fine. Bunnies tend to chew stuff thoroughly when they eat something, so any foam he ingested was likely ground up into a pulp. I would encourage water and hay to help push it through his system. And just keep an eye out to make sure he’s still eating and…[Read more]

Rabbits can definitely have a variety of nail colors, even if it doesn’t seem too matching to the fur! My majority-black Wick has a paw that has some white and some black nails.

Charlie sounds a lot like my StellaBellaBun! Stella is super outgoing and bold like Charlie, food motivated as well, but not super cuddly. I got her from DAS at 14 weeks so I can relate to the adolescent bunny tantrums.LOL

Ever since I brought her home, Stella has never been that scared of me, but she definitely never craved my attention either.…[Read more]

Not sure if this is helpful but I use a tiny bit of olive oil on Stella when she gets little patches of dry skin, fur mites, or ear mites. The first time I put a tiny drop in her ear and I would not do that again because she freaked out about feeling something in her ear and scared me half to death. That said, she was fine, she got over it after…[Read more]

My bunny cinnimon favorite is purses and Ollies is their brush. They also love those tape and stickers too.

Good to have assurance. By the way the new girl is an orange Dutch and has white nails on front paws but black toe nails. My previous bun was a dark chocolate dwarf and even her nails were not as dark. Is it normal?

I have thought about going pellets free but how would I be sure they are getting everything they need? Also, do you know if it would affect the lifespan? I will watch the vid when I get time, Thanks.
