Got another koi Betta today, lots of orange.  Named him Horatio.  Will get pictures asap.

Never seen one with orange, hope he doesn’t darken too much.

I just use plain hay in the bottom of the box, but that is kind of bad for smelling, but you could just use a large litterbox and clean it out more often.

I think that would be just fine! I have 2 bunnies who are 2 1/2lbs. and 3 3/4lbs. Their pen is 20 sq. feet and they have free roam time in a huge outdoor area several times a week. I would give them as much free foam time as possible though.

I know this isn’t a ‘real’ answer, but I think at least sending this photo to a rabbit-experienced exotic vet (rabbit.org/vet-listings) would be good. It really looks like a finger/toe pad, the little that rabbits have, but if it is really between two nails, it may be a growth. It’s small so hopefully not harmful and perhaps could be removed, but…[Read more]

yeah it is hard to tell it like a pink little lump and this photo is of the bottom but the lump is in between two nails but I can’t find anything that it could be

thanks

Thank you both. I will schedule an appointment ASAP. Thank you Dana, he is a sweet lil guy.

Thank you so much 🙂 I will pass your hug to her!

I think I was in a battle between heart and mind – selfishly wanting to get her through surgery and recover to have more time with her. But if I really think about how much stress, fear, and pain she would be in… She wouldn’t want that. Cried long and hard yesterday, but I have finally admitted…[Read more]

Thank you for your kind words <3

She is doing a lot better today, I finally feel comfortable leaving her for a bit to go out and run errands. She is eating all her greens, eating some hay, although not quite as much as I want her to. Her poops are a bit dark but I will take what I can get!

I think you’re right about needing more information to…[Read more]

I second Wick about dental x-rays. The first vet I took my Vilde to when he fell ill saw nothing wrong with his teeth. The rabbit savvy vet I took him to the next day did a full xray of his teeth, and from them it was beyond any doubt clear that he indeed had a dental problem.

Fresh grass, if you can get pesticide free grass, has very good…[Read more]

I agree that getting it to a level now that is a bit more manageable via shaving would be good. If you have not done this before/are not comfortable, definitely request a rabbit-experienced exotic vet to do it; not a pet groomer. See here for a list: rabbit.org/vet-listings

Once at a more manageable length, regular maintenance/grooming would…[Read more]

The best thing would be to have the vet do a “sanitary shave” of the bad areas so you can just start fresh.

Also I have to say he is so ridiculously cute!!

I miss my Betta’s. My favorite was a Mustard Gas Dragonscale male. Bettas can be surprisingly finicky when it comes to water. Everything can seem fine even the readings can be fine but something will just set them off and they die.

It may be worth doing an x-ray to get a nice visual of the teeth. X-rays don’t need to be done under anesthesia — a light sedative might be enough in some cases, depending on the rabbit (though I’ve never had a rabbit’s head x-rayed; only other parts of the body). If it is dental, I’d lean more towards the surgery since the current eating habits…[Read more]
