Yes I am! It isn’t finished yet as some things are custom ordered and I’m waiting on them to be complete. If it goes to plan it is going to be hilariously adorable.

It is 115f here today and my air conditioning is struggling. I put all the small animals and reptiles in the coolest area of the house. Tater and Spud of course are loving getting the run of a new spot in the house.

Ok I will leave the new hay out for the few days. He eats the leaves out of any kinds of hay. It’s the stalking stems that causes the problem

Make sure to give each hay a fair chance, in terms of keeping it out for several days. Until a rabbit is willingly trying it and then is able to make an educated decision, I try not to swap things out too rapidly. I want my rabbit to try the food before telling me it’s nasty, haha.

He’s gorgeous! Love his hair do!

Thank you so so much for your advice it is deeply appreciated!

Just a lot of stuff that contradicted my own…[Read more]

I’m so sorry you lost Bun.

The meds your vet prescribed plus sub q fluids and the examination incl x-rays to make sure there wasn’t a blockage is the correct way to treat stasis. I’m sorry it wasnt successful. It’s sadly not very uncommon, but it’s still so, so sad.

As you know, stasis is a symptom rather than an actual illness. It can be a…[Read more]
