Poor Wick, I can imagine that must be so frustrating for him and you!

I think the fabric strips are a good idea, or even make them out of paper to encourage him to chew them. I was thinking you could do something similar with palm fronds or bamboo leaves (or some other safe branches), make a little hanging forest for him to nibble on and…[Read more]

That sounds like a good plan! And yes the thumping etc. is all because she’s upset that her territory has been invaded, but should start to ease with time. I feel like on average I’ve started to see improvements after about a week, and then after a few weeks they seem very relaxed around each other.

I think once pre-bonding is going well, your…[Read more]

Ah ok!  “Floating” is the term usually used in horses when they need their teeth filed, and the points would be molar spurs. Bunnies and horses actually have remarkably similar medical needs! So that could be the source of his food issues, pain, and even the excessive grooming of his face.

I would just keep up the supportive care (pain meds,…[Read more]

Thank you! Thought I would reply to say Fudge is doing find now!

He’s binkying. flopping and eating – so all happy 🙂

theres a mix of different hay types, so im unsure of what type it is :<

My Bam spent a lot of time gnawing the bark off of apple twigs. He perfected this skill, we used the  stripped twigs as kindling.

A bun can go through quite a lot of twigs, so it would require access to actual trees, and they obviously must be pesticide free.

Thank you very much for this report! This is so very helpful for other bun owners.

Fingers crossed he just need a couple of weeks more of PenG.

You could cut out the pellets again and put her back on the hay and water diet. There could be something in the pellets that doesn’t agree with her, or it could be that you didn’t keep her on the hay and water diet long enough for her gut to reestablish a sturdy gut microbiome.

Some rabbits are prone to GI-upset. The probiotic you have been…[Read more]

Such a cute bun ❤️

Hey thanks for replying. It’s been a week and her fecal droppings are still intermittent. She’s been on a hay & water diet. She still eats her hay and drinks water. Her energy has changed a bit tho. Not as playful as when she was okay. I reintroduce her to her usual pellets (momi complete-a for young rabbits https://www.kohepets.com.sg/products/mom&hellip;[Read more]

Looks like a molting line to me too. Perfectly normal, and nothing to be worried about.

Oooh now I see it! Aww best sink bunny-buddies ❤️

Hi, I just wanted to update on Theo, for posterity as well since I haven’t seen this issue pop up as much on the forum, and it might be useful.

So he’s been through 6 weeks of penicillin, and stopped his doses a week ago. Three weeks ago there was crusting/sores around his mouth so the vet definitely thought it was syphilis. Now, after 1.5 months…[Read more]

I’m afraid to give him anything that will encourage vigorous digging 😯 , considering he already does it during recovery periods anyways… But I can try! I have an incomplete one I really need to spend time finishing up.

I did the fabric strips and hung up a treasure barrel toy which seems to be a success if I fill it with pellets.

Yes, a curtain made of fleece strips might be fun. You said he likes food… what about one of those forage mats?

Looks like a shed line to me.
