My bunnies’ staple favorites are: organic palm plates plus the willow baskets and seagrass mats from the BB store. They also love love love the fresh willow wreaths from the BB store when they are in stock. (Basically any of the willow stuff from the BB store has been a winner with mine, relative to willow stuff from other sources). They also LOVE…[Read more]

Hmm the picture isn’t showing up.

If you pull the mats from the sides this can often help break them up without pulling the skin. If things are really bad it might be best to have the vet do a sanitary shave.

That’s great! So happy he’s doing better!

It’s great to have metacam on hand as well, assuming you have some left over.

I use the same method as Hazel for bum baths, usually in my bathroom sink. If you put a towel at the bottom (in the water) it helps them not slide around so much and makes things a bit easier. Then towel dry really well…[Read more]

Yeah, that does sound so hard, having such a lack of access to rabbit-savvy vets and also bunny supplies.  🙁  I’m so sorry!  I guess you could just try to be as proactive as possible in your situation, right?  Like there are 3 avenues available to you and you could pursue all 3:

1) Finding sources for supplies as resourcefully as possible — I j…[Read more]

I was going to do that, but I didn’t have any hydrogen peroxide and I couldn’t just leave it like that for her to get her paws dirty, so I wiped it up. Her poops are all normal, it’s just the cecotropes that aren’t solid. That dark stuff didn’t look like liquid cecotropes to me, though. Yesterday there was some white, thick, sticky discharge and…[Read more]

He used to usually sleep next to me, now he sleeps in his room. Also, he used to be with me in the house, now he usually hangs out alone in his room like a teenager. 😐😐

SO glad he’s doing much better! 🙂  Every time I’ve used Simethicone with my bun there was a fast and almost miraculous turnaround. That stuff is magic.

About his poopy butt, one of my previous bunnies struggled with that a lot. If it had gotten stuck to him where it wouldn’t come off easily, I would put him in a small tub with an inch or two…[Read more]

What time is “half the day”? Rabbits typically sleep for the majority of the day naturally, so it may just align with Cookie’s sleep time.

We had a trust problem with Cookie after the surgery, now he trusts me again and is not afraid of me, he lets me caress him and sometimes sleeps with me.

But here’s the thing. Cookie wants to be alone more than before. He wants to be alone for half the day. Do you think this is due to hormonal changes after sterilization, or does he feel lonely…[Read more]

“cow pile” is a name  that is sometimes used for the “wet” version of megacolon. It tends to cause wet unformed poops and weight loss because the cecum isn’t functioning properly.

I’m sorry you don’t have any rabbit-savvy vets in your area, that makes things so hard. 🙁

That dark liquid is concerning, can you put some hydrogen peroxide on it to…[Read more]

Some of Binkie’s favorites are loofas, applesticks, and palm and willow toys! I got her a whole forage basket full of them and she loved it. I bought them off a seller called WinnieGuineaPoo. In their range they have cute little cupcakes, willow chews, treat pots and so much more. They were off Amazon but I’m sure they’re on Etsy too. Here’s what…[Read more]

Is she refusing food? If a bun stops eating  you shouldn’t let more than 6- 12 hours pass before you see a vet.

If she is a good hay eater, you can put her on a hay only diet. If she isnt a good hay eater you should just taper down the amount of daily pellets, ot she might starve.

If you have simethicone baby gas drops  you can give her 0.5-1 m…[Read more]

@Kanin, how is he now? Have you spotted anything yet? ♥

Update: I saw this dark-brownish red spill on the floor when I went to check on her this morning. I had given here a raisin and a little alfalfa hay the previous afternoon, but this looks like a leak right? It doesn’t look like urine to me. I don’t know.

This is what she look likes now… she is definitely underweight but you can’t see it too…[Read more]

Thank you everyone.
If I put them down near him he hops away from them. He will occasionally nibble at lettuce:

He did enjoy them at the beginning. I guess I will keep trying and if he wants to eat them he can – if not they won’t go to waste. He has a friend who loves them!!! 😉

thanks again.

That’s hilarious.  My rabbit has been known to too water bowls over.

Our vet recommended adding a little fruit juice, to get her to pass some sludge years ago, to the water. It helped and when we tried to go back to water she would stand next to the bowl and stomp! Hahaha
