It’s pretty much impossible to teach rabbits not to chew wires. It is in their nature and those wires in particular are so thin that even a nip without intention to break would still damage them. You must keep the wires out of reach of your rabbits.

Thanks, we still want to have a rabbit. We love to give our love and care to rabbits

I lookslike a sore gock to me too. Here is an article on sore hocks, from a trusted source:

I’m glad you got a proper diagnosis so you know what you are dealing with.

Amputation sounds a bit drastic to me, especially since he doesnt seem to be in pain, and he has regained quite a bit of function in the affected limb. It may be that the foot will always point out to the side, but that doesn’t have to be a disaster. Did the vet and you…[Read more]

A little wet nose is as a rule tot a sign of a problem. Since healthy rabbits only breathe through their noses, not through their mouths, moisture in the air may condense around the nostrils, especially when the rabbit has been physically active, or if the ambient air is humid.

What you dont want to see is snot around the nostrils or felted hair…[Read more]

Hi folks, my husband took our rabbit to the new vet today and I’m here to update. BTW, my rabbit’s name is Richard.

The new vet clinic looks more professional than the old one. The vet x-rayed Richard’s swollen back leg and find the left ankle dislocated. I quote from the instruction: “There is still a significant amount of swelling in the area.…[Read more]

How is he now? Were you able to syringe feed him or give him some simethicone?

Hmm… looks like a sore hock.

Also I forgot to add that she does creep up at him and when he looks at her she darts away. I don’t know if she is teasing him or scared of him, but I think she is scared of him. It is a good thing she is faster than him.

My vet does sanitary shaves without sedation… but I suppose it depends on the bunny and if they will remain still or not. She doesn’t shave too close either. Anyway, sometimes it’s better to just “start over” by having it shaved.

Yes, rabbits will molt ear fur too, though it’s usually not as noticeable because the fur is so short. I think your new vet’s explanation is very plausible– it takes a while for rabbit skin to get back to norm after something happening, and flaking tends to be a natural part of that process, just like with humans.

Dollar tree has cat scratchers (just the cardboard) that last my bunnies a while). I have a destroyer and a laid back bunny as while. Oxbow play garden is also great. Apple sticks are good too.

When I had to syringe feed my bunny I put banana on the tip of the syringe which helped a lot. As soon as you can I would take him to the vet. If he starts eating again like normal then you don’t need too. Is he drinking water?

I am not sure what it is, but I would take him/her to the vet. It could be nothing but just in case.
