You’re welcome! 🙂

During pre-bonding, I would actually swap full sides every day or two, or litter boxes if that’s not feasible. You really want them to get ALL up in each other’s scents and start to lose track of territories. LOL

Did you vet give you pain meds? It is important to get some food in her soon. If you can’t feed her yourself, the ER vet could possibly feed her for you. Personally I would try to get the food in myself as it would be less stressful than taking her back to the vet, but if that’s not possible, she does need to eat at this point.

I usually will put…[Read more]

It can be frustrating to convince people that rabbits are not like dogs or cats (where not eating for a day can just mean the animal is tired of its food). 🙁

I’ve found that many people are more aware of the fact that horses have sensitive stomachs and that GI issues in horses can become emergencies (many people are aware of “colic” in horses),…[Read more]

Thank you for the advice I’ll try somethings and update if I remember. It’s nice to have someone else’s opinion because when I’m concerned about my bunny my parents don’t seem to take me seriously and never what to take her to an emergency vet or regular vet after previous experience with other rabbits. I’ve at least convince them to let me take…[Read more]

Wow, thank you for the insight! Yes, their living spaces are directly next to eachother separated by an expen border so they can see and sniff eachother. I’ve also been swapping toys and towels every few days. What you said about the not projecting actually really makes sense because I didn’t think of it that way! Rummy is always more anxious, so…[Read more]

Rabbits are at risk of heat stroke when temps get between 80-85 degrees F, so if you can keep temps below 80 that would be safest for them. But if that’s not always possible, there are some good tips for helping them keep cool here: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/cooling-tips/

I didn’t have AC in the past and my bunnies really appreciated…[Read more]

1/2 a cup is a lot of pellets. Even though some people feed unlimited up to a year, many people start reducing the pellet amount and transitioning to an adult diet around 6 months or so, unless it’s a giant breed.

Ingesting lots of fur can cause some digestive problems and molting in general can cause some bunnies to have some gi issues. I would…[Read more]

He doesn’t look like a checkered giant to me at all (not the right body shape, coat texture or pattern, ear size or head shape). His color pattern can be found in many different breeds though.

Could be something like a lionhead (or an angora or wooly, as LBJ10 suggested) crossed with something like a New Zealand. New Zealand rabbits can be pretty…[Read more]

Her poop looks ok I’ve been noticing hair connecting some of her poops but I’ve seen that with other rabbits before. She is eating some hay but not a ton and she is still eating veggies but she just isn’t as exciting about food or treats. Her food bowl has measurements printed in it and I usually fill it up to the 1/2 cup mark since she is still…[Read more]

The fur texture definitely looks different. That’s why I was thinking wool was mixed in there. Lionheads, however, are very diverse in coat texture and appearance.

Yes, more information is needed. Is she still eating hay and veggies? Is she pooping OK? How many pellets is she getting and what type are they?

Our AC is set at 78 in the summer. No issues.

I agree with Dana. She may be uncomfortable, but it probably isn’t an emergency. As long as she’s still eating/pooping, you should be OK to wait until the vet appointment. Baby oil may temporarily relieve the itch, but it won’t cure the ear mites. And yes, ear mites can affect one ear before spreading to the other and inflammation can make the…[Read more]

His fur wasn’t clipped that I know of.

I doubt they would do that. His previous owners fed him dog and cat feed and didn’t care for him.

That’s wonderful! I’m glad they warmed up to you. 🙂

I’m looking at his fur texture. Was he clipped? Maybe he’s an angora mix.
