Activity

I know that its important, vital basically that bunnies eat Timothy hay regularly. They need the fiber that hay offers them. they also need lots of water since the hay they eat is so dry.  I was told this by two people, and breeder and my buns exotic vet. Treats need to be limited especially sugary treats. the breeder told me not the give greens…[Read more]

I feel your pain. My heart is broken too. I lost my little angel yesterday, she choked on her pellets and I didn’t know how to help her. I tried but nothing worked. My heart is broken.😢  Buns are such little angels. So lovable!! I am so sorry for your loss too. 😢

Just wondering what did you pick to do?

Thanks! Maybe based on that he wants me to run about like crazy with him 😀 , I can try and mimic that… the chewing his toys with him is going to be less likely!

@LBJ10 that sounds like any two little kids playing together!

Bunston rolling his little ball sounds adorable!

I’m sorry you are going through this, bunny tummy issues are so stressful. 🙁

Some bunnies are very sensitive to particular pellet ingredients and/or veggies. I recall someone years ago (can’t remember who) who said if their bun had a single mint leaf that was slightly browning it would set off a gas attack!

Once she is stabilized your vet might…[Read more]

I’m taking her in again at 3 just for another check up. I’m sick of this and just want my bun better. She’s only 6

I’ll lock this one for now so it doesn’t get mixed up with the current thread.

hah! Glad he’s doing better!

I usually threaten my bunnies with the vet…. “If you don’t start eating we are going to the vet… and I know you don’t want to do that!”. Maybe he was like “OK FINE I’LL EAT”!

Has the vet inspected her teeth? Teeth problems can cause recurring GI-problems. Rabbit molars cant be seen without an otoscope. Rabbits can get spurs on their inner teeth, and the spurs can prevent normal chewing. If the spurs are causing the bun pain, the rabbit might avoid certain types of food or eat less over all.

She ate about a 1/4 of her veggies this morning but we had to hand feed her. I sure hope she’s ok

Yes, bonded pairs can “play” together by doing zoomies, binkies, etc. together. And, as Dana mentioned, they will often enjoy the same toy together… although sometimes that turns into a tug of war where one bunny grabs it and the other bunny takes it back. Mine loved working on puzzle toys together, but that too would turn into a shoving match. 🙄

I’m not going to say this is ideal, but ..

Back in the day (70’s) we raised rabbits, primarily for show.  We fed unlimited pellet and occasionally veggies.  They never saw a blade of hay…though the pellets back then we’re pretty much just chopped hay…not the conglomeration of stuff they make now.  I was just a kid, this is how Mom did it…[Read more]

I don’t know if it will do much for the taste. But what you linked too should filter and also soften the water a bit. I think BZOO is right that the bigger/rougher fish rock-like pieces probably work better.
