Hi, from what I’ve read you’re up to a dangerous temperature for rabbits. If there is a portable A/C or anything for her room it would be good. I think they are at a pretty serious risk of overheating over 80 degrees F, and you’re at 86.

There are different views on this. When my bun Vilde was slowly recovering from a long bout of stasis, my rabbit savvy vet told us to stop Reglan (metoclopramide) without tapering. I asked about it, because I had read that it needs tapering, but the vet said they never recommend that for their patients. My bun recovered without tapering.

It can…[Read more]

Foraging mixes are not treats unless they have added pieces of dried carrot etc. Apple twigs don’t have a lot of sugar unless there’s been sugar added to them. My bun Bam went crazy for apple twigs too, he was allowed them by his bunny savvy vet when he was on a diet. He got fresh twigs from my garden, so there was absolutely no sugar added.

I’d be happy with any amount of rabbits but my boyfriend wouldn’t to for more than 2 so you’re lucky it you have someone who is on board with so many!! Rabbits are the best ❤️

You can dip your hands in cool water and wet her ears with your wet hands. Rabbits thermoregulate in hot weather primarily via their ears.

It is like 35 degrees of Celsius outside and inside we have like 30. So it is really hot.

I gave her frozen water bottle but she won’t lay next to it. The only way we cool her down is a fan in a room and wet towel

Really hot, it is like 35 degrees of Celsius outside. Inside we have like 30.

We try to cool her down but she won’t lay next to frozen bottle only when I cool her down with my hand and cold wet towel.

She is not letargic at all so I doubt it’s a health issue

How old is she? Some rabbits regulate to a “chill” activity period during the large majority of the day, as that’s when they usually sleep. It can be a very different energy-schedule than a younger rabbit who, like a human child, defies the laws of when they “should” be asleep versus awake.

All this being said, it is best to first discount health…[Read more]

The heat can be really hard on them. How warm is it?

You can give her a frozen water bottle or some cool tiles to lay on. Mine buns tend to start getting really uncomfortable in the high 70’s, and around 80 buns can start overheating.

Have there been any changes in her diet?

Hmm, I’m not sure as she is okay now in the evening.

Its true that something did upset her tummy because she had softer stool. Kinda like cecotropes. But besides that she acts normal.

Maybe it is really the heat. But she is just all day alone in room. Before she at least laid next to me in another room.

Fantastic, thank you for all the replies

Aww bummer! But little hiccups are normal at this phase. You really haven’t had very many dates, so they are just still getting comfortable with each other and establishing their relationship terms.

Never mind! I sat back (well hovered) and tried to let them sort it out. And guess what? Wolfie fricken groomed her! It was a hard groom at first but then was soft. So happy! Issue now is that she keeps torpedoing him for grooms. He will alternate between hard grooms where she occasionally flinches and soft grooms. also does this thing where…[Read more]

It sounds like you are doing exactly what I like to do!

So that sounds exactly like a grooming request. I like to do lots of petting at first in the early dates, esp if they seem tense. Then once I have a better sense of how they are doing, I will start to ease of the petting, or I will try to wait a second or two before starting to pet.

Since…[Read more]

Sounds like a plan, good luck!
