Meg replied to the topic Picky elderbun now eating less: If he's eating hay and oats, does he need CC? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 2 months ago
Thank you so much, LBJ. I think we talked about this earlier and that does make sense. And I do want to give him more oats and other things he likes now because I think that’s a privilege of being this old. 😉
But the fact that he went from eating like 70%-95% of his pellets/greens on average to almost none so suddenly makes me concerned it co…[Read more]

If you feel that this is best for you and your other rabbit, I say yes, you are making the right (but tough) decision! As long as she goes to a home where she is loved and wanted then go for it 😉

Hmm… reminds me of when my dog got old. She just stopped wanting to eat certain things. Near the end, all she wanted was plain cooked chicken. She didn’t want her dog food, etc. I often wondered if maybe nothing tasted good to her anymore. Could this be what Teddy is doing? Maybe pellets just don’t taste that great to him anymore. He’s still…[Read more]

I’ve had very good luck with azithromycin. People say it may lead to a reduced appetite, but that wasn’t my experience. This particular antibiotic is recommended for difficult to treat URIs.

My 2 year old rabbit suddenly stopped eating/drinking and pooping. Since last night, he’s been acting different – he isn’t as playful and spends hours just sitting in the corner of his cage He won’t touch his hay or pellets, and won’t even eat his favorite treats. He’s also not drinking his water, though I’ve been providing him fluids through a… -

Thank you Bam! He is doing great! Very active, playful and he’s also eating very well. Called the vet today. He suggested that we switch to azithromicyn. Starting tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Any experience with it?

Hey everyone!
So our beloved 12-year-old 3.5-pound Lionhead, Teddy, had been getting pickier and more variable with food over the past few months, but the last 2 days has nearly stopped eating pellets/greens, and we started subQ fluids last night (he already gets twice-daily meloxicam, cisapride, simethicone, and famotidine as part of the senior…[Read more]

NalaBunny replied to the topic Staying cool in the summer in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 2 months ago
Another thing you can do is take a wet cotton cloth and hang it on a part of the cage and put a fan facing it. This is almost a makeshift ac just of the bunnies. Just make sure there’s an area for the bunny to get away from this cold in case it’s too much. Also, you can make a snug-a-bun but with frozen water bottles. If you can’t do that then I…[Read more]

If you decide to go with a grated pan option make sure you check your rabbit’s feet a lot. Rabbits can develop sore hocks from stuff like grated pans. I honestly would use the hay option as it seems like the best option for the bunny.

Hello, I need help, I’m in a rough situation with my bunnies. My bunnies did not bond as one rabbit was constantly chasing and nipping the other rabbit no matter what I tried. I tried 24/7 bonding both small and big spaces, table bonding, and stress bonding. Nothing worked but I can also not keep the mean rabbit as she tries to hurt my other…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Rabbit has mats on back of front legs in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 2 months ago
I’d cut them off with scissors. Don’t cut too close to the skin (obviously). It’s way less hassle for both you and the bun to cut off mats and start “afresh” with a good brushing routine. The hair will grow back (again, obviously), but how long it takes depends on where in his hair growth cycle he is, rabbits don’t have continuous hair growth like…[Read more]

Hi everybody, I just got my first rescue bun peanut just over three weeks ago, and we are just getting him used to being groomed. My rabbit peanut has some mats on the back of his front legs that I can’t get off. I brush him on top of a large blue cabinet I have, but today, he jumped off the cabinet when I was trying to get the mats off.
So does…[Read more]

Thanks 🥰 We always found that her blue eyes were so pretty, and I have a friend who always thought it looked like she had pants because of her dark bum and legs haha
