Bam replied to the topic Quick question about collars in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 2 months ago
The danger with a collar is that the collar could get caught on something, causing the bun to panic. That could lead to the bun snapping its neck. For this reason, I would advice against using a collar on a rabbit. Cats are way, way less fragile than rabbits.

illyria07 started the topic Quick question about collars in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 2 months ago
So, I’ve found several posts about not keeping a collar on a bunny, but they all talk about it like it was a dog. As if the bunny would always have it on. I have a small lionhead. I’m trying to teach him to free roam and have been slowly introducing new areas for him to explore. The problem is because he’s so small I can sometimes loose track of…[Read more]

HoneyBunny replied to the topic Bonding broken after desexing in the forum BONDING 5 years, 2 months ago
Thank you. Jack seems a bit calm down today. To be honest I don’t mind letting them live side by side as long as they are not fighting every time when they free roam and meet each other. I stay at home most of the time so I can watch them. Because when I browse the posts here these days, I’ve found the bond could be broken at any age, not just 6 m…[Read more]

What treatments has she already had? I assume you tried some different antibiotics to try to clear it up? Did your vet suggest a nebulizer?

I supply plenty of large cat scratchers and other toys scattered about to hopefully redirect the carpet chewing energy.

Sorry for your loss. Been thru this many, many times
This was your final gift to him. You stayed and held him and that meant everything.
I have had to do it for animals that weren’t even mine because their people were going to just drop them off and leave because they couldn’t deal. It’s not about us, it’s for them.
When you’re ready, I ho…[Read more]

I’ve ordered vinyl flooring from home depot, they can cut you pieces by sq ft. I’ve noticed if my buns have access to the edges they will chew them though.
That might not be as practical for covering your whole floor though. For my carpet chewers, I’ve had the best luck with putting heavy ceramic tiles (the biggest ones I can find) over the hot…[Read more]

Yes. Dont compensate for the missed dose by giving him extra. Just give him the next dose as you would have normally and adhete to the treatment protocol like the missed dose never happened!

– so my rabbit is on my baytril and I’m supposed to give him two doses a day, 12 hours apart. but I forgot to give him his first doses today. And I still have to give him another at night today. Is it okay if I accidentally miss the first doses?

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Bonding broken after desexing in the forum BONDING 5 years, 2 months ago
I personally would keep one away structurally (like in a pen) while the other is free-roam out. Like swapping free-roam time. I understand it might seem upsetting to cut the free-roam time for buns who are used to being free-roam majority of the day… but they’ll survive. I see it as being worth that tiny sacrifice, especially if it’s eliminating…[Read more]

HoneyBunny replied to the topic Bonding broken after desexing in the forum BONDING 5 years, 2 months ago
Hi Wick, thanks for the reply. Yes I’ve been starting to swap their stuff now. What about exercise time? This morning I let Jack out for a while when Josh was busy with the hay. And in the afternoon I let Josh out when Jack was sleeping. And I didn’t let them out in the evening as I can still see them being aggressive now. Jack keeps chewing car…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss! And I’m so sorry you had to deal with this gut wrenching decision! I’ve unfortunately had to face many times before — about four times over the course of my life. I hope it’s ok if I share my thoughts and what I’ve learned.
Our job as caretaker is to be selfless and put the needs of the bunny/cat/dog/etc. above our…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic bunny drinking a lot of water? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 2 months ago
She could be drinking a lot to cool herself, but polydipsia, as it’s called in medical lingo, is generally thought of as an observandum. It shouldbe invesrigated, especislly if she has an incontinence problem as well – ie if she pees pretty much everywhere and frequently.
Causes range from innocent to grave. It can be about about a UTI or e…[Read more]

Thank you! His eye doesn’t seem to be actively watering today, but I will keep an eye on it. Must’ve just been irritated. After all these years of having a bunny I’m still a nervous wreck when something happens to him. Doesnt bode well for my future children!
