Hi

We have started the week long bonding process – 😳 in hope to cement their relationship.  Oddly enough Louie seems to chase Milo way more than he ever has. I will keep an eye on this. It is the reason we didn’t do an overnight last night as I had read you should wait until no chasing or nipping before moving to that stage. So we are trying ag…[Read more]

If the wound is uncomplicated, keeping it clean will be enough. It’s probably not much point in putting on antibiotic ointment if its on the lip, because she’d just lick it off. Inspect the wound daily.

A deep wound or a wound that splita the lip should be seen by a vet. If you are able to take pictures it would be very helpful.

You must make…[Read more]

I have a bun named Cooper too! 🙂

So, it’s always good to have a back-up plan in case a bond doesn’t work out, and plan for bonding to take a while. That said, most bonds do work out, and male-female (neutered and spayed) is the most common and usually most successful combination. Sometimes you need to do more work than you planned to bond them…[Read more]

That’s good to hear he’s improving!

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 ❤️
