Activity

Such a fun surprise! I remember taking my boy to the vet for a pre-neuter check up. They checked his sex and I was beyond shocked how tiny his penis was. He was just a baby then but I still think about it 5 years later 😅

So great to hear of the improvement in both your bunny and the vet’s knowledge. It sounds like you’re very knowledgeable yourself, which is always helpful. As you noted, just keep an eye on her. Eating, drinking, normal pooping, and normal activity are always a good sign. Good job, bunny parent!

So glad to hear! I don’t think you were being dramatic but you were being vigilant and a good bunny parent. Even if you were being dramatic (which you for sure weren’t), I can guarantee that each of us bunny owners has been there. GI stasis is a scary beast. You will learn to read the signs and symptoms of discomfort for your bun as time goes on.…[Read more]

Hey all!
just wanted to update and let everyone know after a stressful 24 hours umi is eating, pooping, peeing, hopping and definitely in the clear 🙂

I may have been a bit overly dramatic – I think because a bun I followed on Insta recently passed from GI stasis I was on high alert.

worst part now is the next 2 pain meds syringes. But just so…[Read more]

Yes, she’s eating plenty of hay! She ate some at the vet while we were waiting. She’s been on the hay diet for about 4-5 days now, and I think I’m seeing lesser liquid cecotropes. The vet did listen to her stomach, and said he felt a few gas bubbles, but she’s acting and eating okay. They checked her eyes, ears, nose and weighed her. The…[Read more]

Hi

in response to the power play- do you think the submissive rabbit is deliberately lowering head in response to being groomed as a way to try to be dominant? He lies absolutely flat the the ground and freezes. If the other bun backs away he relaxes like a loaf and reverts to flat if he tries to lower head for a groom again?

the submissive will…[Read more]

If there are hard marble-like bumps on either side, then that probably means his scent glands are clogged. That stuff can become very hard and is difficult to get out. Sometimes people have to use a water-based lubricant on a cotton swab to ease it out.

I don’t think you’re experiencing anything unusual. Baytril can make bunnies not want certain foods, but as long as he’s still eating something then it shouldn’t be a big deal. Keep in mind that antibiotics don’t taste very good. They try to cover it up by mixing it with a syrup… but some bunnies can still tell. So if he doesn’t like the taste…[Read more]

Yep, I wouldn’t worry too much. I’ve found a “forgotten” one here and there. It generally isn’t a sign that anything is wrong. I would only be suspicious if it was excessive.

Long lost sisters perhaps??

Sounds like a good plan! I usually don’t introduce litter boxes until I get into the really long sessions anyway (and I use a huge low sided one), so what you’ve been doing is on par with what I do. 🙂

Oh now! Well… I guess they really are twinsies then, huh?

I’ve also used the recovery food from Sherwood (I have both on hand because some bunnies prefer one or the other), so you might look into that one if you are trying to avoid soy. Bonnie and Cooper both seem to really like it. 🙂

Sounds like she’s improving! Yay for poops! Keep up the good work 🙂

Critical Care ordered.

Wish it didn’t have so much soy in it.  Ugh, soy and females, usually not good combo.

Hopefully won’t need it for too long.
