Yes, it’s hard to tell when it is dried… but that does look like some kind of mallow to me as well.

I love the drawing!

Hmm… could you take down the upper panels and use them to make a maze-like area? Steps aren’t safe… what about an enclosed ramp (i.e. so he can’t possibly fall off)?

Has he sneezed since? Perhaps a big glob of stuff came loose and he was getting it out.

I honestly never noticed that one until you and SweetPotato pointed it out! I was looking at the white splotch more closely towards the center of the picture, it looks like a white lop to me.

Wick and Dana,

Thank you both for your suggestions! I immediately bought some nose guard grids and set their cages up right by each other and so far they haven’t seem to hurt each other as a result (today is the first day).

It’s difficult to gauge their reactions to each other. It seems like O (the main aggressor) is hyper aware of eve…[Read more]

Thank you for your concern.

He seems to be doing better. He’s still isn’t back to 100% but he’s at least heading that direction. Today’s the last day of medications so we will see how he does off them. He only had enough pain medicine for a half dose this morning and I’ve reduced the Metoclopramide to once a day (figure weaning him off it to make…[Read more]

Thanks so much 💜 She was just so sweet, and you’re right that deep bonding happens with seniors. Her and I were so close after all the years and some health scares, and it was really special for sure.

Going 5 days without symptoms is a great sign. Recovery is rarely a clean, straight trajectory. If you notice things getting progressively worse, then I’d be more concern.

Unfortunately I do not have much information on this. I have seen dig boxes with soil and sand, and have also read what sound like legitimate concerns for both. I would think the most natural, chemical-free soil would be safest, as that’s what rabbits who are housed outdoors are constantly exposed to and get their paws on…

If a bun eats its pellets too fast it’s better to scatter the pellets on the floor than serving them in a bowl. That way the bun has to “forage” for the pellets and can’t gorge on them.

Some rabbits are prone to gas, so it’s wise to do an elimination diet like the others have suggested. Some vegs will probably work better than others, but there…[Read more]

That sounds like a good plan to me! Usually the rule of thumb is to wait 48 hours once they are in their final home. Then I would go with your gut. If you let them out and they seem a little testy, I would restrict the space a bit, or give them some time free-roam and some time in the pen, until you feel confident they are doing well.

In my…[Read more]

How’s he doing now that it’s been a few more days?

It can be tough when a new bun throws a wrench in the works! My first house bun (Bunston) was super destructive and I had no idea what I was doing with bunny proofing. He even taught our other bunny that chewing the carpet was the best thing ever. Many holes in the carpet later we sort of got a system down (heavy tiles + cat scratchers).

Then our…[Read more]

Thank you for the responses!

I have been playing with the idea of just doing a hay/pellet diet, and seeing if that helps. I actually put this test to action just a few days ago when I went on vacation. I had my pet sitters just give them hay and pellets, which worked out well, until a few days ago. They’d told me that Smokey had been eating her…[Read more]

Fingers crossed it all goes well! Sorry your back isn’t cooperating. 🙁
