If the sore is open and wet, the bun might need systemic (oral) antibiotics. This is important, because infection can lead to bone degradation if it’s not properly treated. For this reason, open sore hocks require vet attention.

My rabbit had sore hocks after a long bout of GI problems. When he recovered and regained his energy and lust for life,…[Read more]

Is she spayed? What you’re describing sounds like hormonal behavior to me.

Thank you so much, everyone!!  🙂  🙂 🙂

Wow! What an experience 😂😬😬😂 My former bun Masha used to only drink a certain water brand (I forget which one), and if we *dared* to give her tap, she would throw her bowl across her cage 😂. Bunnies truly are funny little furballs. Gotta love ’em! ❤️❤️❤️

Here’s some name suggestions 😉 (not all of them are exactly good XD)

1. Cinnabun
2. Azul (means blue :D)
3. Okeley (means blue sapphire)
4. Oreo
5. Pepper (?)

Now that we have figured out the problem we do see the funny side of it too. Shes a funny little thing. Shes doing very well at the moment, considering. Shes not perfect but much better. I’ll look into the filtration thing. Thank you!

He’s so pretty!!!

I do notice the pattern 😂 I’m adding Crinkle and Waffle to the list.

Happy birthday Teddy!

I like Fry (like French Fry) or Crinkle (like Crinkle Fry) or Waffle (like Waffle Fry)… notice a pattern here? LOL

Yep, bunnies love willow. Just make sure it isn’t treated with chemicals if you’re collecting it outside.

Taters and Fries that’s definitely going on the list. 😂

I’m adding Checkers and Wafer to the list!

The whole one will live out the other thing is what I am most worried about. I have been looking for older rabbits for months and I haven’t had much luck.

Most of the rabbit breeders in my area are rabbits that are more livestock than pets and they are often large breeds. I’ve been looking for a small or dwarf rabbit so it could be more olafs size

I’m unsure what resources/accessibility you have in your area, but if it’s a Craigslist like resource, perhaps try searching for rabbits that are being “rehomed” or “needs a new home”. Breeders and others will advertise younger rabbits of course. If you want a rabbit that’s older, it may come from someone giving up their rabbit for one reason or…[Read more]

My rabbit had sore hock a few years ago. I caught it before it got terrible so it healed up nicely.

Make sure the flooring is soft and comfortable. Foam flooring/foam puzzle pieces with fleece blankets help a bunch. I wrapped his foot in vet wrap and put a little bit of cotton in there. It made a slipper kind of thing. My rabbit chewed it off…[Read more]

Hi! Sorry to post again, but I found another website on how to bandage sore hocks (its near the end, under the title of: Treatment)
