So my experience when it comes to kibble is,

So I gave 2 of my rabbits Young Oxbow Rabbit food up until they were 1 year old and just followed the instructions on the bag when they were 6 months for the amount.

When I got the 3rd bunny my other 2 were already 4 years old and on Oxbow Garden Select Adult Kibble at the time… I was a naughty…[Read more]

I agree with LJB10.  This is temporary.  It will take time for him to heal.  His hormones will settle. (It can take 6 weeks or so).   The hormones that were driving him to mate — which makes him circle and other behaviors that could be seen as play and affection may be less, but he seems very comfortable with you and will still like to get affe…[Read more]

Hopefully your mom will understand that if he does have an ear infection, it won’t get better on its own (same goes for EC).

I gotta share something that happened about 51 minutes ago. I was giving the buns fresh water for the night and my nephew followed me in to my room (he’s 22 (1 year and 10 months) old) and was just walking around my room. Well he got near Blossom and I saw movement from the corner of my eye, it looked like she jumped and I asked my mom if she…[Read more]

Goodness sorry for the late reply!! Reading what other’s have said, and I thank them for their help as well, and seeing that he is a lop bunny, it might be an ear infection. It seems the most likely out of the two since he doesn’t really have certain symptoms of EC, but like you said, you can’t be sure until a vet sees him.  I wanna get him to a…[Read more]

Thank you all very much.

I think there’s a blood test or something they can run to see what levels of hormones are coursing through the rabbit. It is possible that this may be hormonal. I understand resources (both for you and the vet) may be limited, but it may be something to explore.

I will share that my sociable rabbit, Wick, has different types of teeth purrs. I’ve…[Read more]

I used chlorohexidine to treat my rabbit’s ringworm, but my exotic vet advised me to just spot-clean the spots. I used a system of wet towels and q-tips to wet the area slightly, apply and slightly scrub in the soap, and then rinse and dry using more towels and qtips as needed. At no point is water being poured or sprayed on the rabbit, and I…[Read more]

Thank you for the response! I’m sorry I find it hard to use this website in the mobile version,  so I can’t fix any typing errors 😅

So:

Re: the petting and then the “snap”, it makes me wonder if she actually is enjoying the petting in that instance.

There are times she’s super sweet, she’ll, you know, teeth purr because she enjoys it (I thin…[Read more]

The active ingredient is chlorhexidine. Diluted chlorhexidine is “safe” to use on rabbits, but some individuals are sensitive to it and can suffer chemical burns. As Dana pointed out though, baths are not recommended except under very extreme circumstances. There are many treatment options available for ringworm. Medirabbit has a nice article…[Read more]

Sorry for being unclear but I bond them in a neutral space ( a closet ). I didn’t do pre bonding because my dad didn’t want me to. They have interacted though cage bars like I put in my first post though.

Thanks for filling out the template! I moved your response over to this topic.

I notice two things that are missing/not mentioned which tend to be fundamental in the beginning of any bonding, which is pre-bonding and using neutral space.

Pre-bonding is an important step prior to starting bonding dates and throughout the bonding process. It means…[Read more]

Completed by OP:

Spay/Neuter
Are your bunnies spayed/neutered? YesIf so, for how long (for each)? Both for 2 months

Are you aware of reproductive cancer risk in females? If not, please read about it here.

Housing
Please describe your bunnies’ current housing set-up (living together, as neighbors, etc.). My female is in a xpen a…[Read more]

Left the bunnies for an hour or so unsupervised. Came back and everything seems normal. They were sitting near each other. Milo went to the spot he likes to be and Louie hopped up on the sofa.
next thing I know – Milo comes out louie jumps down towards him- Milo thumps and runs and hides underneath the hutch in a corner. I picked Louie up. He…[Read more]

I dont know, I had a bun who fell over when he had fur mites (I had just found him abandoned in the woods). The fur mites were between his shoulderblades, where he obviously couldn”t reach, but he really tried to. (I of course got him treatment and the mites never returned).

That same bun later fell over backwards in anticipation of a treat, esp…[Read more]
