Thank you for your help, I have had them double checked when I got them from the previous owners and they were both indeed female. They haven’t faught yet but I also don’t know when to know it is fighting. Snowball only circles when she is bored and when I let her in her playpen it stops. They normally sleep during the night when I do too.

How’s he doing today?

It isn’t possible to see rabbit molars without an otoscope, due to the anatomy of the bun’s face. During a simple physical exam, a vet will only look at the incisors and how well they are aligned. Some vets test for molar spurs by gently sliding the lower jaw from side to side to feel and listen for teeth uneveness.

Vets can get it wrong even…[Read more]

Looks like normal poop to me.

Rabbits do not acknowledge family units so while being from the same litter can be helpful, it does not actually guarantee getting along through puberty. Rabbit parents and siblings do mate and fight each other when not fixed.

The safest recommendation I can make is separation, as a stranger on the internet. At the minimum, separation when you…[Read more]

Thank you for letting me know, I will for sure keep an eye on it. And they I got them from the same litter when they were babies. the smallest one thumper hasn’t been very dominant but the bigger one snowball is starting to be, I’ve only seen mounting 3 times now but I noticed it stopped since I put them in their playpen during the day. Then today…[Read more]

I totally agree, give another round of meds first.

Thank you so much for all of your input and suggestions!! It’s reassuring to know that there are people who’ve had buns with similar experiences who can offer their time and help.

The vet did look at his teeth last month and said they appeared fine. Could you tell if there is something wrong with his teeth just by a visual examination or would that require something to the equivalent of an animal endoscopy (I’m not sure what the proper terminology would be)? Because he eats/chews as he always did.

Okay, by later tonight I…[Read more]

If this is a one-time occurrence, it’s not worrisome– however, if it continues to occur (you see her bottom/tail consistently wet with pee), this can be a sign of a UTI, bladder issue, or even dental issues (some rabbits dramatically increase water intake to deal with teeth pain, leading to peeing a lot more = peeing on themselves…[Read more]

Thank you so much!! 💓

You may not need a ramp at all, and typically a small platform to jump on mid-way is a lot more space-effective and rabbit-friendly. Ramps tend to be too steep and/or not covered in a texture/material that is pleasant for rabbit feet.  Ramps that are gradual enough (i.e. not steep) tend to take up a lot of space because they are so long.

All those beans look consistent and healthy! Each rabbit, depending on size and hay consumption, may have a different baseline in terms of the size of the poop. Generally, we always want all rabbit poop to be dry and round, just as we see here.

Oh how wonderful!
