Oh I see now I only answered your first question!

Two rabbits will be happy together even if you’re away from home much of the time -but since the bonding process can be long and rather difficult, an already bonded couple would be ideal.

From what I gather, you’ll be home to check on them every day? Even if on some shifts you just come home to…[Read more]

I moved this for you since it was in the Read Only section.

So, these have all been injections? Amoxicillin can only be given by injection, but the other two can be given orally. To me, it sounds like none of these have been given long enough. If antibiotics are stopped too soon, the infection can rebound. It sounds like the Baytril has had some…[Read more]

That’s a good idea Bam. Bunnies tend to like berries and they do tend to have less sugar.

I agree that force feeding should be avoided if it’s stressful for the bun. If he’d be willing to take CC from a plate, it’d be another story. Sometimes buns will eat cc mixed with canned plain pumpkin.

Oats are good as long as he still eats hay. Oats alone have too little fiber to sustain a bun, as I know you know. You will be able to tell from…[Read more]

Hi thanks for the info.. Yes she is still growing as shes almost 2.5 months now..

Looks like a larger breed to me. How old is she? Did the vet give you an estimate? If she is young and still growing, then I would probably guess Flemish or New Zealand. However, I see some tufts around the face… could be a little bit of lionhead in there.

As long as the oats aren’t causing stomach issues/soft poops, I don’t see why he can’t have more. And force feeding him at this point seems a bit unnecessary. What you’re describing sounds like the normal aging process. They just stop wanting as much food and their body slowly shuts down. If it were me, I would just give him whatever he wants. If…[Read more]

I think you would be able to still feed them (pellets and/or veggies) morning and evening. If the exact time varies by an hour or so, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. Hay and water would be available 24/7, so they wouldn’t ever “starve”.

It’s best if you can get someone else to help hold him for you, while you do the cutting. You often only have to cut halfway into the mats, then the rest is often possible to disentagle with your fingers. You pull out the “dead” fur and leave the rest.

@RabbitLover908 – OMG, yay! I’m so happy for your new baby! ♥ 

Thank you for the replies; everybody peanuts hair does grow back quickly because he is only a year old. When I cut the mats of how do I keep him still because he bites when I try to keep him still, and he also tucks his legs in

What does he weigh?

I’m not sure if I followed the timings correctly, but I think the main thing is that you wouldn’t want to routinely leave a bun (or pair) alone for 24 hours at a time (not saying that would be the case, I’m just confused by the shift schedule!). If illnesses (such as gastric stasis) aren’t caught in the first 12 hours they can become emergen…[Read more]

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 😉
