Great news! I bonded mine starting 4th of July weekend last year 🙂

Alright I followed my gut and moved forward so I can really solidify the bond before moving. After nearly 2 hours of cleaning I moved them into a shared xpen in semi-neutral space. They seem fine together and are cuddling as I write this, though they both tried to find some way to escape. The real test will be when the zoomies hit.

Hopefully all…[Read more]

I agree that keeping her indoors in an adequately sized enclosure would be the ideal solution. The next best option would be a predator-proof “bunny shed” with an attached run. She could still have free roam of the shed at night.

What Wick is describing is very possible. Sometimes infections can be very difficult to treat. They will “go away” and “come back” because the antibiotic only knocked it back some… instead of fully eliminating it. You may need to try a different antibiotic and go for a longer treatment.

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]
