Very true Wick!  In a smaller hutch you wouldn’t want to cram too many things in!

Anything starchy can cause gas, so carrot could be the culprit. Celery isn’t known to cause gas, but it’s also not super nutritious for buns (at least the stalk parts).

I would see if going to a hay and pellet only diet helps things, then slowly reintroduce veg to see what the culprit is. Is Smokey a good hay-eater? Sometimes if they aren’t…[Read more]

Oh thanks for letting me know. It’s not an exciting clip but it will be nice to figure it out 😃

I tried opening access to anyone with the link so hope that works.

Thank you for your reply. It is so traumatizing. I couldn’t even imagine doing it twice.

I’m trying to remember the wonderful moments. I probably have thousands of pictures of him I’d like to go through and save to an album or archive, I just don’t  think I am ready to look through them. I’m so emotionally and physically exhausted.

Thanks for…[Read more]

Thanks for all of the kind words, I really appreciate it. Instead of wallowing in sadness and grief the day after she passed I was able to have a good day, minus her death. Making sure I wasn’t super upset the first day has made the grieving process a whole lot easier. I’m doing better now, and I appreciate all of your kindness! I can only hope…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful bun she was, and what a wonderful life she must have had to make it to 11. <3 I think we bond even more strongly with them in their golden years, which makes it that much harder when they’re gone.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁  (((Binky free dear bun))) <3

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve had to watch two of my buns pass in front of me in pain (separate incidents), and it is so traumatizing. When a bun starts to crash there isn’t much we can do, but it often presents like something treatable that we’ve seen before. Try not to feel guilty, it sounds like you did everything you could for him. I highly…[Read more]

Dana provided some great suggestions. I will also add that you need to balance providing enrichment and also providing space to lounge and roam too — sometimes owners pack their rabbit’s environment so full of stuff that it is towards the rabbit’s detriment space-wise!

Says we need access!

They’ve got Napoleon complexes for sure!

Sounds great! Whether you give them some run around time is up to you, I think at this point you can trust your gut. 🙂 I think usually people only have issues with giving too much space when they do “microspace’ bonding methods.

If things get testy you can always restrict their space a little, but I’ve found mine usually seem very happy to have…[Read more]

Sorry I’m just catching up on these things!

It sounds like his teeth could be bothering him? Has your vet looked at his back molars? You can’t really see the back teeth without an x-ray, which is usually fairly quick and simple to do.  I think given the changes in his appetite lately and signs of pain, I would definitely want to get a look at…[Read more]

It def sounds like boredom to me, so providing lots of “boredom buster” toys in the meantime will help. Some of the big hit chew toys at the shelter are: sea grass mats, organic palm plates, and the “Snak shak”. You can also make newspaper or cardboard mats easily and cheaply, that buns love to shred. A cardboard box turned into a hide and stuffed…[Read more]
