Nova’s ears definitely are too big proportionally to be a Netherland Dwarf. Ginki is veering towards that as well. They are likely mixes who have the snout appearance of a Nethie, but will surpass the typical size/weight we’d expect from a Nethie.

And @Bam thanks for the video. I actually found it yesterday when I was trying to research what to do (after it was too late). Elmer is a very difficult to handle bun and absolutely hates me holding him, but just need to do it next time.

Thank you both, it’s so great to have this resource. I thought he was perfectly healthy and still sort of in shock.

I agree with both and a learning on my part, I definitely will take action sooner when a treat is refused. Getting the gas drops in him earlier/ getting to vet sooner probably would have made a difference.

At this point the focus…[Read more]

It’s completely normal for there to be some steps forward and then back, so don’t despair! I think the use of the laundry basket post-fight was a good idea!

I would honestly just keep going as you have been, and try to increase the length of sessions as you can. I wouldn’t pause sessions unless a bun was injured.

So have they fought each night…[Read more]

They don’t look like dwarfs to me, but they could be false dwarfs. How much do they weigh?

It’s really hard to say, but the one time Bun Jovi went into stasis our vet (very rabbit savvy) suspected that ingesting too much hair was the issue in his case as well (he was molting, and when he finally started pooping again there was a lot of hair coming out).

I agree that the vet should have kept him until he stabilized, especially with such…[Read more]

I’m sorry this happened to you and your bun. You undoubtedly saved him by taking him to the ER vet.

This could have started as a gut slowdown, causing a “hairball” to form and block up the intestine. Rabbits are normally capable of passing hair, they always get some hair in them when they groom themselves. If the gut slows down though, hair and…[Read more]

And right after I posted this Tipper groomed Sweetie for almost a minute.

It’s hilarious because he tries to play it off like he’s grooming himself and then licks her head between his paws. He also used her head as a foot rest so he could clean his foot 😂 but she didn’t seem to mind.

They both just seem so stubborn and I do feel that Sweet…[Read more]

And – after they fought I took them in a walk around the house in their dreaded laundry basket and took them back to the “neutral area.” Tipper eventually gave Sweetie a couple of licks on the nose.

unfortunately, I’m so on edge from them getting into fights that I started to make a noise when he put his head over hers to kiss her and maybe inter…[Read more]

Hi again – so after the encouraging long date on Saturday, Sunday and today the bunnies got into a fight (once each night) – I caught it quickly but I don’t understand what is going on with the backwards slide 😕

They actually seem more relaxed around each other now; Tipper is less nippy and seems more content to lay down / eat/ run around S…[Read more]

That’s cool,,  thank you so much on the information!! ♡(≧ε≦o)β

Ouh alright thank you so much for the information!!   ଘ(˵o▿o)♡

Thank you DanaNM. I’ll definitely revisit this again with the vet. Hope all is well in your world.

BZOO you are practically Dr. Doolittle! 😀

Not many people would respond happily if a rat ran up their leg in a park, lol! (But if it was obviously domestic I may have done the same, I know they are wonderful pets!)

Poor baby 🙁

I agree with Wick that this could be dental, especially given the timing with the tooth filing. There could also be something like an abscess that formed around the tooth that’s pressing on sinuses and causing issues.
