I’ve been holding him in 10 minute intervals on an electric blanket and he seems comfortable I know electric blankets can be dangerous. He’s more lethargic than he has been with other episodes. My bunny is Frank Junior, he’s almost 10 years old, his diet is predominantly fresh things from the yard and garden, he eats lots of fresh grass, and other…[Read more]

We have a Goffins cockatoo that loves country music, which I cannot stand.  His previous home must have played it.  Sometimes I let him listen for a few moments, but that is all I can stand!

I’m sorry your bun isn’t doing well. 🙁

If you can keep him warm, on top of the other things you have available, that will help keep him stable until you can get to the vet, because pain can cause rabbit’s temps to spike and then drop. You can wrap a warm water bottle in a towel and place it near him, so he can cuddle it if he wants.

Keep us…[Read more]

Also, sorry for the many many typos. I would fix them but I can’t seem to to find an edit button on my phone. So, I apologise. Honestly, I’m doing several things at once while trying to take care of this wee one. So again, pls excuse the typos.

Reminds me of my dog. When she was very old, she didn’t want to eat anything except for cooked chicken. Things don’t taste good when you’re old.

1 – Chewing is a very natural rabbit behavior, so it’s likely he would chew any liner you use. Someone recently posted a way to potentially overcome it with cord protectors: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/cord-protectors-to-make-rabbit-not-chew-pee-pad/

2 – Wood stove pellets are common and popular. I use it and it does not “clump”, but the…[Read more]

It wasn’t on purpose we found these bunnies in a box beside the rubbish in collection day. We found them mere moments before the lorry came. We took them in loved and cared for them and within a very short time less than a month and baby bunnies. I knew from the doe Violet she was going to drop. I was prepared. All went well. Until now. We have a…[Read more]

Recurrent gastric distress is of concern, as a healthy rabbit should not be experiencing it so often. Can you provide detail on what labs and assessments your vet has run specifically, as well as the vet’s expertise (ex. exotic)?

Sometimes recurrent gastric distress can come from an unagreeable diet– some rabbits have certain sensitivities. Can…[Read more]

Please note I made slight revisions to your topic. As a reminder, the topic of intentional breeding is prohibited on these forums.

I’m sorry to hear about what’s going on with one of your baby rabbits. Since our forums do not permit discussion of intentional breeding, the experience of our members (including myself) is quite limited. We will…[Read more]

The ingredients for the novomectin say: sterile solution containing 1% ivermectin, 40% glycerol formal, and propylene glycol q.s. ad 100%.

I believe that both of those other ingredients are fairly inert at the amounts that you would be giving, but the safest bet is to ring your vet and make sure they gave you the right medicine (because mistakes…[Read more]

Giving wet greens during breaks should be enough, especially if he is good about drinking once you get to your destination.

How long is your total travel time?

All he wants to do right now is lay on his tummy with legs stretched out.  He obviously feels terrible. I haven’t tried giving him critical care yet, I will, but he’s not really willing to swallow what I put in his mouth. So this really hard. He did swallow the pain meds but not so much the simithicone.

ugh. I’m so worried. I though this would…[Read more]

I know that ivermectin has oral (the paste) and injection (suspension) options but I didn’t think you could give the injectable one orally y’know? I thought there was a difference between the two and it seemed really weird to me. Seems like the equivalent of just swallowing insulin rather than injecting it which wouldn’t be effective. I’m a littl…[Read more]

i can’t believe it’s already may 😀 louie’s gotcha day is coming up on the 10th… has it really been a year already??

Not sure where you are HipHop, but in CA we used to see hooded orioles in the bottle brush trees with the humming birds. I think all orioles are nectar feeders? They are so pretty!
