Glad he likes it! There is nothing nicer than a bunny happily tucking into his hay 🙂

It could also be fur mites (different from ear mites). Fur mites can show up in that location sometimes. Same as with a fungal infection, they can flair up if a bun gets stresssed or has a weakened immune system.

Yes, my Masha used a litter box like that all her life, and we never had trouble. We just potty trained her how everyone does, and it worked. 😀

My rabbits have never had trouble. It’s less about the presence of litter and more the presence of a secure place (i.e. box with sides) and hay that will trigger a rabbit to poop and pee in a spot!

Hi all,

Still taking it slow, there’s progress. Sometimes I can get them to sit nose-to-nose, and while I was petting them both they were calm. I can also usually finish the date on a good note.

As mentioned, I have a fence between their areas, and it looks like they also behave a lot better over the fence. Dorian, the big guy, sometimes still…[Read more]

Thanks! But is he chubby, or fluffy LOL. He is very soft for sure 🙂

It could be the spay stressed her body (which is absolutely natural), so it created a window where a fungal infection could “stick”. Younger rabbits are more prone to fungal infections (if I recall my past research correctly when my Wick went through a fungal infection) since their immune systems are still developing. It’s impossible to figure out…[Read more]

Hi Wick,

Yes she was spayed right before she developed all of these symptoms.
She was spayed on May 4, and I brought her back to vet on the 6th because the ear symptoms developed.

I really think it might be a fungal infection but have no clue how she would have caught that.

I hear back from the vet today.

Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

Thank you for your help.

No the vet did not test her for any fungal infection when I brought her in 2 weeks ago.

I should be hearing back from vet today (as we have just been conversing over email so far because of covid). I assume she will want to see Annie to test for possible infections.

It could be the start of some sort of fungal infection– and that’s treatable, so don’t worry. It can be stubborn though.

Also, did she go through any stress lately? Sometimes the immune system can be tired after a stress, making a rabbit susceptible to a fungal infection. Fungal spores are ever-present in the environment and can be on any…[Read more]

@Louiethebunny– Your two look very relaxed and adorable. I love the shelves/them on the shelves, I may have to try that for mine.

@ anyone who was talking about birding earlier- I saw some Cedar Waxings! I found a new hot spot and just on one tree there were about 15 types of birds over an hour, but the highlight were the Waxwings. There were at…[Read more]

Ohh ok, thanks for the advice! I started feeding him ryegrass yesterday and he’s been loving it lol <3

Welcome Spud! I have a feeling you and Tater Tot will be very happy.

But this isn’t over Dana! Not by a long shot!

The scale reminds me of a fungal infection. Did the vet check for ringworm or a similar fungal infection?

That’s wonderful! Glad to hear she has a treatment plan and things are looking up!

HAHA agreed! they are adorable together and @Wick , yes they do occasionally make it to the third 😀
