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.

Thank you for the reply.
yes it was a small tuft bunched up with like a dry tag on the end.
we returned home over a week ago and the nudging out of the litter tray happened that night and that was when  I kept a close eye for most of the evening and night.
I haven’t seen anything worrying since until this tuft.
their area is not small.  The pen…[Read more]

Oh, sweetie, you are much too hard on yourself — as all of us pet lovers who have lost them are.  These little ones, especially when so young, are sooo fragile and they hide their issues.  Out of all pets to own, bunnies require the most care because they “are” so very fragile.  May God heal your heart.  Your post here shows your human rem…[Read more]

I assume you’re talking about like, a fur tuft plug? With not a chunk of flesh/skin at the end, but it is bunched up? Unsure of all the names people use, but these can be really easily plucked off normally, even by rabbits grooming themselves or others. Since it was a single, it could have also just been a small warning nip or something that ended…[Read more]

Hi

I just wanted to update and ask a question.
Louie and Milo have been living together since beginning July.
We went away for a weekend and had someone come over and watched them and they were fine.
we recently boarded them for over a week and they seemed to do well. The lady said they were fine together.
When they came home I noticed Louie…[Read more]
