Sonn started the topic Afraid of Strawberries? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years ago
Okay got a weird one here. I realized today that Tater had never had a strawberry (he’s a banana and papaya kind of guy) so I cut him and Spud a strawberry up. Spud went to town on his strawberry. But Tater started thumping and got wide eyed every time I would come near him with the strawberry. I thought he was upset with me but I put it down…[Read more]

Ert000 started the topic Cookie has a lung infection in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years ago
Hello to everyone,
Cookie got lung infection 😢😢 I want to tell the events from the beginning.
1 month ago Cookie had sterilization surgery. Cookie couldn’t clean himself because he had a cone on his head and he got an eye infection. Then he got treatment for his eye for 10 days and he got better.
10 days ago Cookie started sneezing 1-2 times a…[Read more]

Update:
Thank you all for your responses! Fortunately, my bunny, even though spayed, is surprisingly recovering very well and fast. She’s right back to eating her hay and drinking her water (which is great because force feeding really stresses both of us out), and she’s active and trying to get out of her pen lol. She doesn’t seem to be showi…[Read more]

Thank you for adopting this rabbit!
It normally takes some time to bond with a rabbit. Rabbits are not like puppy dogs, rabbits are flight animals whose instincts tell them to be seriously cautious, or else they may become someone’s dinner. What you describe sounds perfectly normal, especially since she was spayed quite recently. (A spay throws…[Read more]

Hi Mp and the beautiful people!
So I’m really slow unfortunately, but there’s small progress. They look like they really like to be near each other when there’s a fence. Dorian already made 2 windows in that fence, the big guy has a strong jaw. The strange thing is that Pi sometimes really sticks his face where Dorian bites the fence, as if on…[Read more]

So I just got my rabbit on the 31st of July and I just need help. I feel like I’m doing everything wrong and that I’m off to a rocky start. Astrid is 10 months and she was surrendered to the shelter on the 22nd of July and she got fixed on the 26th so it hasn’t been long (two weeks)
I feel like I’m having so much trouble bonding with her and I j…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Rabbit is eating normally, but not drinking…? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years ago
Hay eating generally increases water consumption. How long has it been since she drank? I honestly probably only notice my bunnies drink once or twice a day (but then I’ll notice the bowl go down a lot overnight, prob since they eat the most hay then).
I agree with Bam, if she’s pooping normally (and peeing) if does mean she’s getting fluids, and…[Read more]

prince dorian the bun replied to the topic My bunnies love the heat? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years ago
they are so cute! If they can come in and get cooler and you don’t let them out at all in the midday I think they should be fine. Maybe put an frozen water bottle or cool tile out there with them and see if they use it? Oh and sure you are already, but make sure they have plenty of water. I wonder if the infection is partially making them like the…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic New Holland Lop Owner-Baby bun questions in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years ago
I tend to think of bunnies, especially young ones, as a lot like puppies!
They need exercise and stimulation for sure, but also to be in a safe secure area when unsupervised (and the exercise area should be bunny proofed).
To answer your questions:
- Is it bad not to allow him to free roam the house for his own safety?
There are varying…[Read more]

Oh boy, I’m sorry this happened. Don’t blame yourself, these things can happen very quickly, bunnies are sneaky. 😉 Thank you for saving her, she’s lucky that you took her in!
What is the temperature like where you’re keeping her? Is she still staying in the garage? If she is, could there be fumes from cars or anything like that that she might…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Rabbit spayed but sent home with only one dose of pain med in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years ago
I agree with others, so very lame of the vet!
That said, don’t panic. Keep your bun calm and as comfortable as possible, and make sure she’s eating. If she doesn’t eat on her own, syringe feed her.
We have had members who’s vets didn’t give them pain meds at all (!) and the buns were all OK. It is so horrible to think of our bunnies in pain for…[Read more]

Moonlightbunny66 replied to the topic UPDATE, please read: Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Outbreak in North America in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years ago
Does anyone know if the vaccine will be available in Canada? It would be nice to prevent infecting more rabbits here before it spreads all over. ): I keep worrying about it every day, even though I can’t find any reported cases in my province. I’m still scared that it will spread here soon. I want to protect my bunnies.

DanaNM replied to the topic Snuffles? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years ago
Thank you for rescuing her! Accidents happen, so it’s great you are looking out for both mom and babies!
Since it has been ongoing for a while and given her history, the best thing would be to have a vet check her out. It could be allergies, but usually that diagnosis comes after ruling out all other causes. Perhaps you could explain to your…[Read more]

Please no judgment I just want to help my bunny. To preface this I should tell you that the rabbit in question, mustache, a sixth month old large mixed breed bunny, just had an accidental litter of kits around 12 days ago. During the heatwave that came through my town about a month and a half ago we had to move all of our bunnies to the garage…[Read more]
