ThunderBunny started the topic Bonding with my Bunny- looking for advise in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years ago
Hey all! I am a fairly new bunny owner. We adopted our rabbit in early June, as a baby. So no previous owners, aside from the breeder. She’s a lovely bunny, and her and my cats get along really well. They play and groom together. I am just concerned about my bunny bonding with me. She gets excited to see me. When she hears my voice or sees me…[Read more]

They range between 20 minutes to 2 hours. Things have been progressing but now we are stuck where we are.

Great that there are positive signs like grooming and willingness to drink the hay tea. I agree that in addition to hydration, you’ll want to try and feed him regularly. If he’s unwilling to eat and it’s been a while, you can make a pellet mash by soaking pellets in water and try force feeding him a bit with a syringe. Again, this is if he doesn’t…[Read more]

I think I’ll wake up every hour during the night to feed him some hay tea and hopefully tomorrow morning as soon as the vet opens we’ll be in. Thank you all for you advice and your time I really really appreciate it

Drinking on his own is very good! And doing a bit of grooming is also great!
I think it would be safe to keep offering him hay tea, especially if he’s drinking it on his own.
You might also periodically offer some favorite herbs or hay strands to see if he will eat a bit on his own.

So I just gave him avout 6 full tea spoon of hay tea and he seemed to enjoy it. He’s doing a semi cleaning right now (laying down while cleaning his nose with his front paws) because a bit of tea dripped on him so at least he’s a bit “aware” and not completely lethargic.

He is still wrapped up in a blanket but I’ll put a heated plush next to him for a bit more warmth. I just started making hay tea so I will try giving him some and will keep updating. He drank about 3 tea spoons of water about thirty minutes ago and he didn’t seem to have a problem with that. I’m not sure what the last time he ate was as I always…[Read more]

Sounds like things are progressing! How long are your sessions now?

DanaNM replied to the topic My bunny's tongue is very cold :/ in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years ago
I see this was last posted a bit ago, how is he doing now?
I haven’t heard of this happening and it seems very unusual, but I agree that it could be a sign of an overall low body temp, which is often a response to pain or shock (especially with the other symptoms you are seeing).
Supportive care until you can get him to the vet will be important…[Read more]

Hi and thank you for the fast answer
Unfortunately going to the vet now isn’t an option because where I’m from there is no vet emergency room open at night
I followed the video’s instruction and didn’t feel anything hard which reassured me because I did give him a bit of water before posting here.
I checked his tongue and it is still cold but…[Read more] -

My bunnies Ollie and cinnimon have been kinda bonded for about 1 week and a half. I do pre bonded and still doing. They are in a c&c cage which has a divider. I bond them mostly in the cage with the divider out now. Before I did bathtub then closet then bathtub again, went to closet then exercise and pen and my sisters room which they haven’t b…[Read more]

Ah, you updated while I was commenting. Here’s the reality of things: ultimately, if a rabbit does not eat for approaching 12 hours, that is an emergency that needs to be resolved stat. Some rabbits experience instances of gas pain (like humans), not eat, and it will pass in a couple hours. Some instances however, waiting will not help and they…[Read more]

“slow” is a bit worrisome. Is it perhaps a time he is usually not so active? Do you see a good amount of healthy poop in his litterbox? Will he take a treat if you offer it? Is it still cold now or is improving?
I have never heard of a cold tongue, but I imagine that deals with body temperature/circulation. In humans, it’s supposedly in response…[Read more]

Little update: I gave him a banana which is his favorite but he didn’t even nibble on it once. He laid back down and I just noticed he’s a bit incontinent. He made 3 little pee drops which he never does. I’m definitely bringing him to the vet tomorrow (it’s night time at the moment so I can’t now) but does it sound really bad?

Yes, bonded before. The most amazing thing has happened.. they are eating together, no fur pulling anymore still bowing heads & no one is giving in too groom the other. But this is amazing hopefully. I tried adding a photo but it said I wasn’t allowed. This is a good sign though, hopefully? X
