Yes, Bonny is the lop ear bun.  I do not have any more rabbits.  Bonny was so very special.  Thank you for the kind words.  Your bun is also very cute!!  Bonny is the only bunny we had since we brought her home in 2009.  I am sure part of the deep, deep bond we had with her was further reinforced when she became 100% blinded two years before her p…[Read more]

HipHop, that’s just too much bunny goodness I want to squish them all!! So happy to see all three are still getting along!

@Sonn for some reason I can’t see your pic.

That’s great!

If you mean a lathyrus sweet pea (the kind that is grown for their pretty flowers), it is toxic, but intoxication is mostly seen when an animal has a habit of grazing on them. A little bit on one occasion will probably not harm your bun.

Acute toxicity as a rule manifest within 6 hours. Of course call a vet if your bun becomes lethargic or…[Read more]

My rabbit does a sigh type thing when I’m petting him sometimes, it ends with a high pitched squeak type noise, and sometimes I’ve heard it randomly when he is relaxing.. Maybe that is it?

Hello! An update, I’ve been giving Abi all of his food while wearing oven mitts and I think it’s helping! I just try not to flinch when he lunges and tries to bite, 🙂

I’ve moved his enclosure to the corner of my dining room, and I think that has helped. When I give him food he’ll only hop up to me and sniff my gloves. Now I just have to work on…[Read more]

I just watched the video of bonnie. Unfortunately that’s not the noise, my bun makes one singular very high pitch mouse squeak and then I don’t hear it again for a while haha.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁

What a wonderful job you did with her to get her to 11, especially with the problems in her last few years. Often when a bun starts to crash, it presents similarly to a problem we’ve seen before. It sounds like you did a great job managing her pain and symptoms to help her be more comfortable, and I think it was a…[Read more]

Hi, it always happened whilst in relaxed position. In fact it literally just happened now. They’re both flopped in one of their hide outs. I’m glad it’s a happy noise but so strange I’ve had them both well over 2 years and now only have they started making it now (I can’t distinguish which one is being vocal haha). Thanks guys

I’m so sorry BZOO 🙁

The little pets are so hard, because others don’t really understand it. Plus their little lives are so short, so you just never get enough time with them. One of my best friends kept rats for many years, but eventually stopped because the heartbreak was just too frequent.

((( HUGS )))

Awwww HipHop I love that pic of all three of them smushed together!

It’s been on and off hot here. I got some extra fans and the buns love laying in front of them. 🙂 Especially Myra, she has the thickest coat!

Ooh good call on the CC Bam. I heard about that critical care shortage.

And wow Sonn! That’s really impressive!  I’ve never been able to grow enough of things to make them useful for the buns, except one year when we planted WAY too much kale and chard. But then the buns can’t have that much kale or chard, so it wasn’t really that helpful!

It could also be a dental issue. Sometimes when a bun’s mouth hurts they drink more to sooth it (and then pee more as a result).

I wonder if something like endive/escarole might be better? Red leaf and romaine prob aren’t all that different.

Some buns seem to do better with “natural” forage, like dandelion, plantain, mallow, and other safe weeds. Fennel is also supposedly very good for gas, so maybe starting with that would be good? Dandelion is very nutritious in general.
