I’m sure his situation will be much improved with you!

I think with any new rabbit, especially a young one, the most important things are to make sure they adjust to changing diet and have good hay consumption. If you aren’t able to get some of the pellets he’s currently eating, it’s OK to feed hay only (assuming he eats his hay well) and very…[Read more]

She will probably be fine on both counts, although I’m sure she thinks she deserved some corn flakes as payment for the lost whiskers.

Push extra hay and water to keep things moving along in her gut, and keep an eye on her poops. She might have some gas or some soft poops. If she seems gassy you can give her a tummy rub and simethicone (baby gas drops).

Treats from well-meaning family members can definitely cause problems! I have counseled very sad owners whose children gave their bunny too much fruit and it got poopy butt and ended up with fly strike, which is truly horrifying. Unfortunately that bunny did not survive, so too many treats can really become a life or death situation.

Hi everyone! Lucy has her spay surgery tomorrow, I have to drop her off at the vet in the morning. Please keep her in your thoughts and send good vibes our way! I am hoping for a smooth recovery for her.

Any kind words or advice is always appreciated! 😀

Ohh that’s a good idea. She won’t be happy about it but it might be easier.

Loss of lip color due to oxygen deprivation is very serious, and I would think that if that was the cause, your rabbit would be showing more severe signs of difficulty breathing. That being said, as mentioned, the picture does not show much detail so if there are concerns and worrying signs, I suggest seeking a vet’s opinion after an examination!

Hi, I had the same issue with my rabbit. He is very difficult for me to pick up. What I would do for bonding, is have someone help me corner him (or if alone I could usually trap him somehow), then force him into a carrier. That was much easier than actually picking him up, even if only to carry him a room away.

Thank you! The other symptom I have noticed is louder breathing at times, for like two seconds, and then back to being quiet breathing. But it will happen several times throughout the day. He is over 6, so it could be age, but like I mentioned his lip has become darker so I wonder if he is getting less oxygen right now. With all that said, he is…[Read more]

Is it possible that my bunny doesn’t like curly endive? He is not eating at all. ☹️☹️☹️

He chews apple sticks chew toys made of hay such as hay cubes. He does not have access to cardboard at all. In my opinion, he seems to be very stubborn. He is such a cute little well mannered bunny except for the fact that he dislikes hay. I might have spoiled him a little bit too much because I used to give him what he wants if he doesn’t eat h…[Read more]

So basically you should rinse off the lettuce, an give your rabbit a few leaves. Since lettuce wilts easily you should put whatever he doesn’t eat and what’s left over in the fridge.

What kinds of things are he chewing in his free time? Some rabbits may need limited access to cardboard and such because they ingest too much, making them not eat as much hay.
