I suggest you should modify his living situation before resorting to rehoming. So many rabbits end up in shelters because people expect to be able to free-roam them when in reality some rabbits (maybe most rabbits) need at least some supervision to be able to free roam completely. Are you 100% sure he’s fixed? Could “he” be an unspayed female?

Hi there @Rae

You should definitely be taking precautions where you can. RHDV2 is not going away and has spread throughout both wild and domestic rabbits in CA. It seems to especially like arid climates (such as S CA).

The biggest transmission risks for an indoor rabbit would be from contaminated feed (veggies most likely, as hay is aged long…[Read more]

@DanaNM may be able to shed some light on this since she was in southern California during the outbreak.

Okay so I was unable to get ahold of the vet today. Just wondering, if they cannot or are unwilling to get the vaccine, should I be taking extreme precautions against the disease?

My current situation: Agoraphobic renting a room where Gus lives free-roam. I only leave to go to dr’s and grocery shop once a week. Is it possible that I could come…[Read more]

Thank you soo much for  your replies. We ended up having to find a new vet that could see her asap. Got her on Panacur for 1 month along with 5 more days of Meloxicam. The vet said some bunnies just live with their limb wrapped unfortunately. He did say colloidial siver was good to use on it. We’re putting it on her one front foot pads now, too…[Read more]

The water bowl and hay rack are in the small cage section, there was hay in the tp roller but she ripped it all out already by that pic, and obviously there was a bunch in the little box that she kinda just mixed in there so i’ve since switched the hayrack to in front of it and use two tp rollers as extra hay holders/toys. I’m home all day so I’ve…[Read more]

I can’t really help but I’m having the same issues with Thumper except he’s not neutered (I’m having trouble getting him fixed along with Blossom, everytime I get enough money something happens).

I agree with LBJ. It is quite common for rabbits to act up this time of year. It has to do with the rapid increase in daylight hours. Temperature is also a factor, although less so for house buns. Some buns act up in September/October as well, when daylight hours decrease rapidly -but the “worst” March madness tends to occur in the spring. There’s…[Read more]

I don’t know if they’ve tried or are even aware of it, I just called asking if they had it and they said no. I’ll give them another call tomorrow and see if they are willing to order it.

I would suggest not letting the dog groom her. And not let them around each other unsupervised. I’m not saying your dog would intentionally hurt your bunny. I’m just saying accidents can happen, especially when you have a larger predator animal with a smaller prey animal.

As for the setup, what is the dog crate for? If it’s meant to function as a…[Read more]

Yeah, it does sound like something is wrong, but it would be hard for us to guess. I’m just speculating here. My thought would be something is going on with her ability to swallow. Or she aspirated something already and this is somehow connected. Again, that is just me speculating. I agree with Wick that you should talk to your vet to see if there…[Read more]

From what I read online, they will no longer be importing vaccines for RHDV because there is now a US-made vaccine that has received authorization. How this translates to supply in the short-term, I’m not sure. Vets can order the vaccine directly from the manufacturer. It’s made by Medgene. Can your vet try ordering it? Or did they try ordering…[Read more]

It could just be spring. Or as some people call it, March madness. The changing light and warmer temperatures can trigger hormones, even in spayed/neutered bunnies. It sounds like he is frustrated and he is testing the limits of the enclosure.
