Got ahold of Zimba’s foster mom. He was solely on alfalfa when he was with her and drank a lot of water. Explains why he’s so picky on non alfalfa hay.

My understanding of rescue remedy is that it’s homeopathic, so it’s mostly water (it says on the label that it’s impossible to give too much for that reason…)? which means it is probably just a placebo LOL. But a lot of people do swear by it so who knows? it would be good to check it with your vet before trying though, just in case.

Similar to what’s been mentioned, if she has not been a chewer of fabric in the past (digestive issues you don’t need) I wonder if a life sized stuffed animal would comfort her to rest against. There’s a large bunny puppet in the Binkybunny store, or a soft plushy toy from a toy store, like ones safe for babies. You could sleep with it to give it…[Read more]

Hi Dana

Thanks again for your input.

I think pet remedy could really help but I wasnt sure if I was safe to try it with the medications she is on. I was wondering if anyone on here has used it while their bun was on metacam or gabapentin. With it being herbal I was wondering if it’s generally safe as it doesnt say on the description that it’s…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your reply and for those links. I will look through them in some detail. I like the idea of a sound machine or even playing music she is familiar with in the background. We have used this technique with fireworks and she never experienced any anxiety after that. Though we dont find noises upset her. The fire alarm wenwent off…[Read more]

Poor baby 🙁  what a tough situation.

have you tried rescue remedy? It’s rabbit safe and a lot of people swear by it. I tried it with my buns when I moved, not sure if it made a difference but didn’t seem to harm.

I’m sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but have other medical issues been ruled out? Your description makes me wonder if som…[Read more]

It sounds like they are doing well! I agree with just one tuft it could have been molting, or possibly a nip, but prob not an actual scuffle. I think you hunch is correct that the slight issues we prob from returning home.

i think keeping an eye on them as you are is the way to go!

I’m sorry for the lost fish 🙁 Have there been any changes in your water? Like even the city doing maintenance? Might be worth having your water tested. I was having all these issues with my office tanks a few years ago and turns out they had replaced some plumbing with copper pipes. I was essentially poisoning my tanks with each water change. I l…[Read more]

I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through and you have been so wonderful and working hard in doing what you can.

The Disabled Rabbit site is a great resource and they have good information for blind rabbits specifically. Things like the strong smells are mentioned so hopefully their knowledge can be both overlapping but also additive to…[Read more]

My Bettas tend to darken up, so we’ll see what changes await.

When I got Burt, there was a stunning koi Betta that was shimmery pearl with one golden square.  Wanted him too.  Went back a day later and he was gone, darn it.  Hope he got a good home.

So hard to choose!

Ah, rabbit molting… classic. The tuft could definitely be from that, haha!

The main difference is that guinea pig food has added Vitamin C, since they can’t produce it on their own like rabbits can. My hunch (not a vet/professional) is in the short-term, a slight increase in Vitamin C is likely fine, but I think the time it’d take to go through a 10lb bag is much too long. Vitamins are great, but we know too much of…[Read more]

Colorful and lovely. I’m sorry you lost Garcia and Leroy. I can’t advise of fish, but I can say those are wonderful names and you having them was probably better than being in a store somewhere.

Hello Joel! I didn’t know there were koi beta.

Hi –

So it looks like Milo is actually shedding. He only just went through a huge moult a couple of months ago but it seems like he is again. 🙂 Now I am thinking that the tuft may be because of this? It was just a single tuft so I will continue to keep an eye on them.
