I too agree. And since is an adult, she will do fine on hay and pellets while you try to cut out vegs -provided she actually eats her hay.

You do the same thing with humans and dogs when you suspect there might be some component in the diet that doesnt agree with the human or dog. Its slow work, but you cant rush it.

Wick makes some good points. There could be something in her diet that is triggering these episodes, especially if other causes have been ruled out.

Those are all rabbit-safe, as you know, so it may be worth eliminating things to see if that makes improvements. Again, some rabbits just develop sensitivities. For example, my Fable has had much healthier poops as less “gurgle” when I switched her from Oxbow to Science Selective. At the same time, my Wick does completely fine on Oxbow.

Have you tried cutting out veggies completely? Especially if there are times they aren’t being eaten, she might know something is up. Some rabbits are more sensitive than…[Read more]

Lol agreed RE the wildness! I might start a new one if the going gets tough.

The immersion thing is probably me using the wrong word, I think you calling it marathon bonding is the type I mean. So our professional bonder that we used before, she starts with a short stress bonding session (a car ride) followed by 12 hours marathon bonding,…[Read more]

Like loud gurgles again. That’s why the doc told us to maybe ween her off the metoclopramide. She’s like perfect for 4 days then has an episode then perfect then episode ugh these rabbits gotta love em
