I’ve just read Bonny’s story. I’m so sorry that she passed due to a possible medical malpractice. My Tootoo as I mentioned in my post also required frequent molar spur filing in her last years. Luckily she didn’t require any kind of sedation; the vet was able to just snap the Spurs directly. I would have been so worried if she had ever needed…[Read more]

How is your bun doing now?

Lowpile is fine, but it’s still important to check the bun’s feet regularly, of course. (That’s important regardless of flooring).

The ones I found were low pile. Would that be okay?

This is so, so helpful!  Thank you so  much! I am going to consider your ideas for the next few days, always good to keep at it and try new things. Yesterday they had a marathon. I took them to the rescue about 1 hour away and they did fine in the car ride, at the rescue, and on the way back home. My boy even licked my girl twice during the r…[Read more]

There are some plants that are listed as being toxic to animals that rabbits can nibble on and appear to have no ill effects. There have been bunnies on the forum that have chewed on “toxic” house plants and seemed fine afterward. As Bam said, acute toxicity would manifest in a matter of hours. So if enough time has passed and he hasn’t shown any…[Read more]

Awww I love bettas! I’m sorry about Sterling. 🙁 It’s never easy to euthanize a fish, even when you know it’s the right decision. And I had a string of bad luck with them, so I know what you mean. My first I did not take great care of (in retrospect), and he lived 5 years, healthy and happy as could be. Then more recently I had really great…[Read more]

I agree. You should notice a problem (if there is one) within 24 hours.

Thanks y’all.

Not done yet, apparently.  Had to euthanize one of my Bettas, Sterling.

He had a growth.  Treated it a few times, but didn’t help and he had stopped eating. Ugh.  He was a beautiful Silver Dragon.

Noticed tonight one of my others is very thin.  He eats well and seems fine otherwise.

I’m a sucker for Bettas, but it seems that the…[Read more]

Yes, we have a strong connection to have been in the minority to see our babies live to be 11 years old.  Although Bonny navigated quite well on her own, we couldn’t help but to guide her, as she would pause at various spots as she navigated about.  We were just “too soft” and couldn’t bear to watch her when we saw her make a wrong turn (not o…[Read more]

Thank you for your kinds words. It’s ironic to say that I’d always been worried about her whenever I was on vacation and dreaded it but now I miss it. I told Tootoo that one day we will meet again and I hope she understood it.

We have a connection. They both were our first bun. You are right. Tears might come unexpectedly and I tried not to mess up my makeup. I’ve read somewhere that lop eared bunnies have a lifespan of 7-8 years. Glad to find out that it is not necessary true. I do intend to adopt more rabbits and wish to have them for a long time like I had with T…[Read more]

I’m not familiar with fake grass carpets, but I probably wouldn’t want anything that might encourage the bun to chew carpet, so low pile or flat would be the safest bet (as others have suggested).
