I’m glad she seems to be feeling better!

My guess would be that it could be more related to heat stress than ammonia build up. I think sometimes having multiple warm days in a row can really take its toll on a rabbit, so you might not see the effects until later. Usually when temps get above 80 F it can be stressful on the bun, so even if she has…[Read more]

Hmmm I haven’t encountered this issue! Do you know if they came from a particular bag of hay?

I have used food grade diatomaceous earth for insects (ants and fleas) around my home and it is safe for use around rabbits, as long as they aren’t breathing the dust.

I wonder if you could remove all the hay you currently have, put bun in a carrier for…[Read more]

That’s wonderful!! And good job to you! I think fostering is so great for rabbits like Abi, because the foster home can really give the adopter a better idea of what the rabbit will be like in a home environment (rather than the shelter).

I’m originally from the central valley in CA, so I know what you mean about vets and 4H etc.

$400 for a spay isn’t too unreasonable for a complicated spay, but of course $250 would be nicer.

At any rate, hopefully things will get easier when she’s a bit older.

I’m glad he seems to be OK. If he still isn’t eating normally though I would have the vet check him out.

Some rabbits just can’t have fabric in their pens. Grass or paper mats are a safe option.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁  I have noticed that sometimes a serious issue will present like something treatable, and then suddenly the rabbit will crash. It is so devastating, especially in a young rabbit (I lost my bun Moose when he was only a year very suddenly, after we had had him for only about 5 months).

I understand not wanting to get…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the reply Bam!

I will go check the link out right away. I’m reassured to hear you did the interraction over a few weeks as I was worried if our pup stayed too long without seeing them there would be “what are you doing in my house” reactions. I will go slower and post updates when I see ameliorations.

Have a great day and t…[Read more]

Congratulations on your new puppy!

First of all, my advice would be to go veery slow. Dont introduce the dog and buns directly yet. Keep washing your hands before handling the buns after handling the pup. There is no way to stop the rabbits from picking up the dog’s scent, so if you let this happen slowly and gradually, the buns will most likely…[Read more]

Some bunnies seem to have stomachs of steel. Still… it’s not good for them to eat non-food items. If your bunny is actually eating the fleece, you should take it away.

Aww, cute! How big are they?

That’s good. I’ve read that if a gastric distress were to happen, it’d show signs within 6 hrs due to how fast rabbit digestion is. I’d say he’s likely fine at this point unless you notice anything unusual.

Okay. I put fresh hay in his cage everyday, and have a rabbit experienced vet near me. I woke up this morning and saw that he drank a ton of water like eat more than he normally does is this good or bad?

Okay, thank you so much! I feel so relieved. She still eats and poops just fine. I was just worried cause she’s always tired. She runs around the house, does one or two binkies, and she’s done for a while. I was thinking maybe she could be like this cause it’s hot or just plain lazy. I just wanted to get another opinion. Thanks again!
