I don’t have that product but I’ll sure ask my vet about it. I have a thermometer but it’s meant for adult humans so I’ll just get a baby one.

Thank you so much!

I’m very sorry you lost Siena. She sounds like a wonderful bun.

You’ve gotten great advice from Dana already, so I’m more or less only chiming in.

I recommend spending time in the bun area listening to audiobooks or reading aloud yourself. You shouldnt force yourself on the bun (as Dana says), just sit there and read or whatever. Rabbits are…[Read more]

That is super helpful, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me! Siena was definitely very rare. She liked me to pick her up and hold her on my chest with her head in the crook of my neck, and I’d just kind of lean my head on hers and tub her back, and her right fingers would wrap around my pointer finger and she’d just relax and purr.…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss of Siena 🙁

Every bunny has a different personality. Siena sounds like a very special bun, and you’ve found that Charlie is special too, just in different ways. Charlie may never become a snuggler, but I still think you can form a strong bond with her. You mentioned she loves playing and learning tricks, so that…[Read more]

All very good points! I think some of the commenters in the threads I linked also mentioned that they only did harness work indoors as well.

I think it would be OK as long as they are doing well in it! If things start to get bad in the longer sessions though, I would move to a fully neutral spot for longer sessions. I’ve noticed with some of my pairs the buns would do great for a while in less neutral space, and then at some point they would get aggressive (but that wouldn’t happen in…[Read more]

That is so wonderful to hear!

Do you happen to have simethicone in your bunny first aid kit? It can be helpful when you suspect gas, and doesn’t do harm if it isn’t needed.

Some other good things to have on hand are a thermometer (a soft one, like for oral use with babies), supplies for syringe feeding, and even lactated ringers (from your vet).

This map also show confirmed cases and is updated: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?fbclid=IwAR27ZBZ1KjbXa-tuBa7QvoeVXPSWBSC3ECn2kYYAnEQpA4-4MnYAqWDvsyw&mid=1OPrtnwm1Bk-CmjW3pPCpzEw1sv2S_OPC&ll=39.06356966942758%2C-107.75364545&z=4

Thank you C&O for highlighting that harnesses can indeed be less risky for particular rabbits paired with proper training. At the same time, we must always be vigilant for the exact dangers C&O mentions, like birds, ticks, and fleas.

You will find access to the most current map and information by state here: rabbit.org/RHDV

They tend to update this page fairly often.
In terms of vaccinations, if there are no cases in your area, it is likely you will not find vaccines. They are currently in limited supply and are prioritized for areas with reported cases.

That is so great to hear. This will also be nice to have public, as cold tongue is not a symptom commonly reported, so this experience may help others in the future. Thanks for keeping us updated!

Thank you Wick & Fable and Dana!  And agreed Dana, it’s so frustrating!  Sierra is still acting fine, and even did a flop about 2 hours after the fall so I am optimistic.  But I will continue to monitor very closely, and maybe I will bring her in tomorrow or the day after, since she needs to have her nails cut soon as well.  There is only 1 vet…[Read more]

The space sounds great! I bet the bunnies would love a bunny friend. The size and age difference doesn’t matter. Good luck!

My bunnies are both harness trained. I did it because they are very active and curious bunnies. They love it. I take them around the house only because of RHDV2. My bunnies are fine with a harness and it is safe for them because I trained them very slowly and carefully. They have H harnesses which would be the way do go because it put they least…[Read more]

Sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is really hard. I wouldn’t be able to live without my bunnies. I think that the teeth check would be a good idea. In the meantime I know they make hay pellets. They are just hay but in pellet form. It would give your bunny some hay but they chew hay and pellets differently so it wouldn’t wear down the teeth they…[Read more]
