Hi all,
First, thanks so much for all your advice on the forum – I have been lurking and reading a lot since adopting my first bun in the fall. I recently adopted a friend for her and they have bonded pretty quickly, and honestly act like they have known each other forever. My new boy is very food motivated and always looking to eat. My girl is a…[Read more]

I definitely wouldn’t want to confine them to a space that small for a long time but it is absolutely the best way to go for this pair. I made them go in the kitchen with me and cook Sunday in a tiny little square of pen and they were perfectly nice the entire time. I also made the living area smaller and I think that’s part of the progress. I…[Read more]

@Wick has experience with ringworm.

And yes, cultures can be unreliable. I would think especially so if you had already been treating the area.

I love the picture! Glad they can at least exist in a bunny pile peacefully 🤣

OMG that picture is hilarious!
I haven’t had great luck with small spaces personally, but I have heard of people basically confining the buns to the litter box only during bonding… I wonder if that might work with your three since the box seems to be a sticking point?

I want to start but saying I’ve never had an animal with ringworm so I have no idea how to ID it or if you’re providing the right treatment. I would definitely suggest seeing another vet along with any documentation including records from the first vet and any pictures you have. My concern is that rabbits can be very sensitive and what is safe for…[Read more]

Hello!
I’m looking for some advice on what to do for my poor girl.
About 5 weeks ago, we noticed circular bald patches on Tundra’s back while brushing her. It looks nothing like mites or mange. We have dealt with ringworm on guinea pigs in the past so I researched how to do so for bunnies and proceeded with at home treatment.( 3 years ago when our…[Read more] -

I’m glad you’ve seen a vet and had her checked out!
It sounds like a good plan to up her daily CC. In order for her to regain interest in eating, she needs to be strong and have energy. Critical Care is, as you know, very good stuff.
It sounds like this is mostly about patience and endurance from your side now. Recovery from stasis can be…[Read more]

Susanne replied to the topic to bond or not to bond in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 3 months ago
Hi, I spontaneously got my first bun, so I also started reading about bonding online and felt like with how social they are, I should get him a friend. I was spending a lot of time with him at first, and I know he was happy. I was more thinking about the future and when I travel, etc, so he does not get lonely. He was about 3 when I tried and I…[Read more]

MomBun78 replied to the topic Bunny moms help!! Stubborn rabbit recovering from stasis in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 3 months ago
hi! Thank u for the reply! She went to the vet on Friday and her teeth and ears were fine. She was well hydrated. And becuz she is eating on her own a bit we decided on only 10-15 ml of CC a few times a day to allow her to want to eat on her own. I just don’t see an increase in her appetite. And she is a very normally “hidey” rabbit. She usually…[Read more]

10 ml of CC is too little, she needs more to sustain her weight and keep her energy up.
It can take quite a long time for a rabbit to bounce back from stasis. The cause for the stasis should be looked into once the bun is stable. It is often about pain. Rabbits are as a species very sensitive to pain.
The first thing to suspect is a molar…[Read more]

Hi there! First time posting. In need of advice. My 2 year old lop got a little stressed last week and stopped eating. She never showed signs of pain or discomfort. So we went about the business of stasis mode/ critical care, syringe fed water, gas drops for good measure. She started eating and pooping relatively soon but she flat refuses pellet…[Read more]
