Wick & Fable replied to the topic Itchy ears in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 1 month ago
I would not recommend cleaning her ears, as (like with human ears) you could potentially damage the internal structures by trying. If it visually looks clear and absent of gunky, gross stuff, it may just be a strand of fur or something your rabbit is trying to sort out (especially if she is molting right now).
I would give it a few days and if…[Read more]

Charlotte started the topic Tips for smelly buns! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 1 month ago
Although my buns are generally very clean and I change the litter tray regularly, at times (especially in hot weather) the hay and litter box can leave an odour.
I know that air fresheners generally contain harmful chemicals that aren’t safe to use around bunnies. I have in the past made natural air fresheners using essential oils. Does anyone…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Soft cecotropes in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 1 month ago
It is possible, but its not good. She should be eating at least some things by herself now. Favorite greens, fragrant herbs or some hay.
It’s not unheard of to have to syringe feed this long, but it indicates that there is an underlying problem that hasnt been adressed. Did the vet check her teeth? Rabbits are prone to molar sours, which can put…[Read more]

She isn’t eating by herself after 5 days. Is it normal?

Hi, is it possible that after 5 days she is still not eating on her own? :/

Bam replied to the topic GI Stasis in bursts? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 1 month ago
I’d try simeticone baby gas drops too. 1 ml every hour for 3 hours, then less often. It often helps within 30 minutes or less. Gas is painful for rabbits and very common after a bout of stasis.

Luna and Mateo started the topic Itchy ears in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 1 month ago
We have two free roam indoor rabbits with no other animals that they are in contact with. I’ve noticed that since yesterday one of our bunnies seems to be shaking her head/ears more than she typically does, followed by scratching them (mostly the right one). I haven’t noticed any other changes out of the ordinary – eating, drinking, pooping, r…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Litter training in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 1 month ago
I recommend not allowing him on the bed. A big part of litterbox adherence is being neutered, as the hormonally-driven urge to mark territory is drastically reduced. That being said, even among spayed/neutered rabbits, the bed is a very common place for rabbits to mark. It is soft and is full of scents to mark over and claim, and rabbits love…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
I have a five month old holland lop bunny, and I just adopted him in March. This is my first bunny (I’ve had other pets before), so I’ve been relying heavily on information from the breeder, vet and anything online. He is not neutered yet because I was told to wait till 6 months. I’ve been trying my best to litter train him, I h…[Read more]

I was just thinking perhaps the people working at one of these stores would know of someone (private individual) selling hay. Sometimes they will have a phone number to give out.

Might just be gas. I’d try Simethicone and see if that helps.

Your husband just doesn’t realize that some rabbits are more difficult to handle than others and yours might be one of them. I think it’s a great idea to take them a couple of times and you can watch what method works for your vet with your rabbit. You can also have them show you how far to cut so you don’t have to worry about that.

Thank you Wick!! I just try to be cautious.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Oxbow toys safe? in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 1 month ago
I haven’t used these ones specifically, but they are considered rabbit safe. Rice glue is not toxic (it’s made of rice) and the quantity that’s used to compose these toys (in terms of rice content) is generally harmless, in my experience with toys that have used it. I would think they’re harmless, even for a rabbit with some intestinal issues.…[Read more]

Lemski replied to the topic Having trouble cutting nails in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 1 month ago
Our vet does them too and I’ve been thinking about taking them there. My husband made me feel like a bad bun owner saying I should be able to take care of it myself etc. I told him people take their dogs to have their nails cut all the time so how is this any different. How often do you take them? I was also thinking of taking them once or twice a…[Read more]

I know a lot of people like oxbow products. I’m wondering if these toys are safe. I believe the apple ones are just made from Timothy and rice glue? That’s what I found on the ingredients list along with jute which I think is the string. Has anyone used these toys? These are the ingredients.My mom picked these up for the bunnies and I’m…[Read more]
