I definitely would NOT use the Chew stop.  Label says to avoid prolonged exposure to the vapors, which a rabbit would not be able to get away from in a hutch.

Hopefully she can become a house rabbit… problem solved!😃

I’m so sorry for your loss. Something else was definitely going on. 🙁

I think that’s fine!

I wouldn’t say it is impossible, as there are always exceptions to the rule. But Wick is correct, it would be extremely difficult to successfully bond him to another rabbit. Hormones have a way of getting in the way… even if he is “chill” when he is alone. You just never know how he will react to another rabbit and how that rabbit would react toward him.

I assume that is a probiotic of some kind?

If the growth is growing rapidly, then there is a risk of the skin rupturing. Your vet is sure it isn’t an abscess? Why is removing it not an option?

Megacolon symptoms can vary when it comes to poop. Other symptoms are weight loss and lethargy. A severe case of cecal dysbiosis can lead to weight loss as well. Since we don’t know what it is for sure, I think your best bet would be to try to do a “cleanse” of the gut. That means a hay only diet for a while to see if the gut can rebalance itself.

Thank you so much!

She does look like she could be a cross between a rex and a lop. The rex fur gene is recessive, so that would explain why your bunny doesn’t have a rex fur. And the ears do look very lop-like. Lop mixes will often have helicopter ears, some more than others. As for the color, she looks like she is broken agouti. The broken pattern is common in rex…[Read more]

Hey Wick,

Thanks once again. I’m so desperate to do the right thing and feeling so lost that I really appreciate any advice.

Do you think it would be okay to move them into the office (Monkey’s old room) in side by side enclosures, and also let them take turns free roaming in there? If so, I think that’s what my gut is telling me to do. I would…[Read more]

I saw that you posted on another rabbit forum (I am active on both, haha), so I’ll keep my replies here.

Firstly, I am very much a proponent that there are multiple “right” ways to go about bonding. The only “wrong” decisions are leaving rabbits together unsupervised or introducing one into another’s territory, in my opinion. Everything else is…[Read more]

That doesn’t look too bad! It’s good that there is still some fur coverage, because that’s going to add some cushioning.

I think aside from flooring and checking each day, you can simply continue to monitor the situation.

Thank you, Dana! In an hour it will be 48 hrs! They sleep together and cuddle and there hasn’t been any aggression or chasing. I feel they just needed that 24 hr exposure to firm up relationship, instead of separating them at night (but obviously necessary during the bonding process).

So here’s another pickle I’m in. I’ve been bonding at my fa…[Read more]

That’s really great news!

I usually like to wait at least 48 hrs in each step. But the good news is that once they are solid in one space, you don’t need to supervise as closely in that space. So I’ve always tended to leave them in the neutral space longer than probably needed, but will sometimes leave them alone for a bit during the day when…[Read more]
