Hey guys. Unfortunate news, she did pass away last night. She wasn’t wheezing or anything but she was extremely weak. I’ll miss her but I am glad she isn’t in pain anymore or feeling sick. My dad was with her when she passed so she wasn’t alone. Thanks for all the help and the best vibes to you and your bunnies

I’m so sorry for your losses!

Thank you for this post. 🙂 Sometimes the truth can be as beautiful as it is painful, making it hard for people to bring themselves to find it. One thing is for sure, though: we can’t blame ourselves for things that our out of our control. We could try all day, and come up with a million possibilities as to why we c…[Read more]

That does look alarming. How long have you had her? Could she have been bitten by another rabbit before you brought her home?

Where are you located? Are you in the US?

Some bunnies take longer to recover from the stress of a car ride and vet appointment. Rapid breathing can be a sign of stress. Does she look like she’s having trouble breathing at all? Tipping her head back or a wheezing sound? Anything like that?

You said he stopped sneezing when you tried a different hay? I’m not sure what the blue label is, but I know red is Timothy. Can you try orchard or oat? Those tend to be less dusty.

The wound doesn’t look horrible in the picture, but it’s hard to tell. How deep is it? Was it just the top layers of skin? Or is it more like a puncture?

Ha, yes, and I think most bun bondings turn into a saga 🙂 I started marathoning in the neutral large walk in closet I used for their dates. As part of the saga, they were gone for a week and I replaced the carpet in it to vinyl, so it was as neutral as I could get (Elmer had been in my entire place).  I would definitely not do it where their…[Read more]

I am not sure if that will need additional treatment but I did want to say that at some point if you decide to put an antibacterial ointment on it, it has to be WITHOUT pain killers. The lydocaine that’s used as a pain killer in those can stop their hearts.

The wound doesn’t look too awful luckily and that’s a cute rabbit!

I can’t really help out much on the medical side (neither a vet nor bunny expert), but I do love to research things. Per your question at the end, bunny ears are designed for thermoregulation. So you’ll see bunnies, like jackrabbits, in hot climates with very large ears, while small bunnies like Netherlands dwarfs have have adorably tiny ears to…[Read more]

I absolutely agree with @Wick… this looks serious. Please take her to a vet immediately. You really don’t want it to end up blocking her nose, and leading her to suffocate. Poor baby ♥ 

Bun’s often get exhilarated when presented with more space to roam. My bun was used to limited space when I got him, and I think his excitement over more space contributed to his sore hocks. After a while, when they’ve explored their area and properly chinned it to let all the other (albeit non-existent) rabbits know who’s boss, they dont feel the…[Read more]

That’s a good idea about the hay!

I’ve tried them with various sizes from about 4ft2 (so there was just enough room for their litter trays) to 8ft2

Yes I think that’s it the food is just a distraction
