Did you ever find out what was wrong with your bunny? Mine is doing the same thing but no sign of mites

It’s never happens daily, it has only happened randomly. It actually first started when a friend of mine and I started a small rescue and I now have 2 babies at home in a separate room away from my bunnies. The little spats started happening when my mom held my boy bun after holding the babies and my girl started chasing him, I threw a towel with…[Read more]

Buns do this. It’sprobably some sort of grooming reflex. Rabbits are hard wired to groom other buns when they feel good and relaxed. They can lick a pillow or a crinkly tunnel (I had a bun who would groom his crinkly tunnel daily) or your hands or arms.

my bunny does that too, i don’t think it has any particular meaning to, it maybe he’s just marking the territory or maybe he’s so used to doing that he started doing it automatically ><

I just heard back from the vet about her xray. No masses, which is good. Kidneys etc are definitely fine going by xray. Her lungs are good too, there is some concern with her heart. She said in terms of size, her heart should be an 8.5, but it’s a 9. Meaning she has mild increased heart size which could possibly be due to heart disease/failure…[Read more]

When my girl bunny was spayed, the vet reassured that I could pick her up the same day. After the surgery, the vet said she wasn’t eating or pooing/peeing despite support feed and gut motility meds, so he wanted to keep her overnight. Unfortunately, like your vet, there would be no supervision. He strongly recommended against bringing her home.…[Read more]

I agree with Dana. Same thing happened with my buns when I was bonding them. At some point they stopped fighting/humping and seemed to get along, minus the occasional nip and chase. They aren’t 100% bonded yet. I basically spent more time with them together and tried to prevent them from nipping by saying “No” loudly and firmly just before they’re…[Read more]

I’ve seen my bunnies do that. I think they’re either licking their hands or licking the fabric that they’re lying on. Maybe your bun is licking the carpet because he likes it.

Well they gave her a cone to wear for ten days but i couldn’t do that so i gave her a shirt. She needs her stitches removed so until then I will leave the shirt on.

She would like to go out of her xpen, can i let her free roam in one room or is it too much? I saw some bunnies free roam on second day after spay but some were kept in cage ten days…[Read more]

Oxbow Garden select.

Avoid foods with sugar, corn, wheat, soy.

They are both. You can apply it before going out. Just remember that rabbits can metabolize these faster than other animals. So you may need to use it more a little more frequently than the directions indicate for cats/dogs. However, this will also depend on the bunny.

Are Advantage and Revolution treatment or prevention? Should I start applying it to my rabbits before we go out?

Nope, not in US. Should have specified.

I used the banana as a “telling treat” of sorts, to see if he would eat it and he did. I give my rabbits banana as a special treat and keep it in moderation, as I know the excess sugar can negatively affect their health. I did give him a belly massage yesterday which he seemed to enjoy a lot. I gave my rabbit-savvy vet a call yesterday (he was…[Read more]

Thank you both so much!!

Yeah, it could be that he’s full.  And yes that was a lot of greens, as I only realized this year, haha — ironically we’d tried reducing them like a month ago or more, and that didn’t go well because he didn’t drink more water to compensate.  Now he is drinking more water, so that’s good.  But maybe he is outsmarting me…[Read more]

Yes, RHDV is spreading. Definitely something to keep in mind. As for actual flea medications, Advantage and Revolution are safe for bunnies. Never use any products containing fipronil (ex: Frontline), since this is toxic to rabbits.
