That looks pretty normal to me. It’s not the ‘usual’ big stretch, but I think the size of the foam tile and the fact that the rabbit is probably sleepy just made him/her not be as expressive in the yawn. If you’re notice other unusual posturing, then I would be more concerned.

Hi

Thank you so much for responding. 💕

There have been several stand offs where my daughters  (whose bunnies they are ) will watch and it usually involves the dominant bunny hopping off or falling asleep as in the picture. (Or the submissive will dart off at any slight movement.)

I know I am more anxious watching them – we take it in turns to w…[Read more]

Grooming stand offs are normal! And the behavior you describe sounds very normal in a pair that is very close to being bonded. They sound like they mostly trust each other but are just finalizing a few things. 🙂

I would try to ease off petting them when these requests happen and see what happens. In bonded pairs, not every grooming request will…[Read more]

Some buns need them cleaned every month or two, but for most buns it’s not as frequent, maybe every several months or not at all. And sometimes after a cleaning the bun does better with keeping them clean themselves.

So I wouldn’t worry about it since you already go to the vet for nail trims. You could have your vet check and do them for you if…[Read more]

Vets can sometimes get a sense based on the teeth and the way the hips are. Young buns tend to have their back feet more parallel, and their feet tend to turn out a bit as they age. It wouldn’t be exact, but could get you in the ball park of young, vs. middle aged, vs. senior.

It’s very good she nibbled some greens on her own. Keep offering her favorite things. The way bunny digestive tracts work, they must eat for poops to be moved through, so after a period of not eating much, there may not be many poops. When recovering from something stressful, calm and consistent supportive care is most important, and improvements…[Read more]

An hour before or after is fine. The closer you can get to 12 hours the better, but there’s a little wiggle room.

I think it’s great that they ruled out parasites and I assume the vet listened to her stomach and she had the appreciate gurgles so that’s all great! I’m also a bit confused about the medication. What is it called? Hopefully one of the members with more medication experience can weigh in on that. My rabbit is making beautiful cecotropes now and…[Read more]

:). I’m probably gonna sound stupid saying this. They said to give oral baytril every 12 hours, like should I really wait exact 12 hours or can I give it to him like an 1 hour earlier. For example I give him his meds at 10:00 am today, instead of giving to him at 10:00pm is 9 pm alright 👁👄👁

Well, supposedly she was born Jan. 1, 2021.

Is there any way to tell if she’s older?  Maybe they “dumped” a non producing female on the first sucker?

That would be my luck.

Regardless, I love her!

OMG! That must have been a bit of an unplanned shock 😂

Binky free Smudge! It sounds like the last week of his life was a great one :-c

Thanks again everyone for ur support.

we gave her the syringes from 6pm to 9pm (well we tried) then she ate some basil! Just a bit.

then we let her rest for the night.
we just woke up (7am) hasn’t touched food or water so we gave her wet basil and bok choy (half her normal salad size typically).
she’s gone back to sleep and still sore and fus…[Read more]

I’ve heard of antibiotics also causing this sometimes perhaps? She’s on baytril right now. Yes I will give the vet a call today and ask about looking into this. I’ve emailed a bunch of vet clinics in the past about rabbits and spays and all of them usually ended up directing me to the clinic I currently take her to :/ I can keep trying thoug…[Read more]

How old is she? Just wondering if she’s old enough to be worried about reproductive cancers…
