Lol, @SweetPotato – I can see it too! I’m sure it’s on the top left of the sink, but you can just see the lil’ bun’s ears. That’s cute ♥ 

Thank you!

That’s what I was thinking… Split the room into 3: two quarters sectioned off by pens and the other half left open for free. And I will switch them every day again/every time they go out for exercise or for bonding dates.

It sounds like she is prone to gas, which some bunnies just are. It would be difficult with 3 bunnies living together, but you could try eliminating everything except hay and then slowly reintroducing things to see what her triggers are.

OK, thanks for the additional info. They may or may not be able to do a needle biopsy. I guess it would depend on the consistency of the mass. Your description does suggest a cancerous tumor. Lipomas can sometimes grow rapidly as well.

Yes, if the tumor grows very rapidly, it can grow faster than the skin can accommodate… leading to rupture.…[Read more]

When Smokey has a bout of bloat, typically it’s where she’s hunched in a corner and doing the standard pain positions. When that happens, her litter habits also fall out the window, too. Some smithicone and tummy massages clear up her bloats fairly quickly, though, and she’ll start eating normally again soon after. There have only been 2 times…[Read more]

Oh, I am so sorry!

Take a deep belly breath. Place your hand on your stomach, and feel it go out as you breath in, and in as you breath out.

You did everything anyone could have done for him, so please don’t blame yourself. You gave Edward a long and wonderful life, full of companionship and love – two of the best things there are. 🙂 You are…[Read more]

The vet and a rabbit savvy groomer ruled out abscess as it’s grown in a weird shape uncommon to abscesses (they said abscesses are usually rounder in texture but the growth he has is a firm odd shaped lump. As if it’s a cloud it has different protruding areas) and it has no wound / scab showing. They did take an XRAY to look at it but no biopsy was done..

The vet advised against it as the mass is attached to the shoulder and neck where the sensitive nerves and veins are, his old age, the possibility of not waking up from GA, and the possibility of  the wound from surgery not healing properly if it is cancer. Will skin rupture from tumour? I have not heard that from the bunny community I’ve ta…[Read more]

Can you describe what you’re seeing as ‘bloat’?

Thank you for your kind words. I didn’t know if posting about this experience would be helpful, but it seems to provide some relief knowing I’m not alone. These little creatures are so special to everyone of us. He provided so much love and comfort to me, I hope he knows I never meant to cause him pain and his passage to the other side was a…[Read more]

Hmm… I think I see it 😀 Is it by the top left-ish corner of the sink?

Oh no! I am so sorry for your loss!!! Edward sounds like he was an amazing bun 😭❤️ I also just recently lost my 7 year old bunny, and it felt beyond terrible. But you did everything you could for you sweet boy. And now he’s crossed the rainbow bridge where he’s doing everything and anything he wants! He also wants to see you happy. Sending prayers…[Read more]

I think he has a wool block, he had his first hard poop in 24 hrs and it was full of hair and upon further inspection it was just a ball of hair covered in poop.

I have been making hay on my own from bermuda grass which my rabbit only nibbles at.

I’m so sorry! She looks beautiful. Binky free <3

Try not to be too discouraged. I know that’s easier said than done but setbacks happen and they can usually be overcome. If you put them in the office side by side, when one bun is out playing let the other go in their space, kind of like prebonding again. That will help with making the territory belong less to one of them.

Thank you both so much for being so helpful and responsive! They’ve been together for four hours so far and no issues. Wolfie just flopped over and is getting groomed. In this stage do I have to keep them largely confined, or can I let them run around?
thanks again!

Surprisingly in my experience, Nethie’s have a similar personality to English Lops. He acts so much like both my previous EL’s Oliver and Moonshine.
