Yes, as long as she is making progress, I wouldn’t be too concerned. As Dana said, you can always contact your vet about your concerns just to be safe.

It sounds like they are almost bonded, but not quite there (with the fur pulling).

How do they do in completely neutral territory? Can you move them into a 100% neutral space for 48 hours or so and see how they do? I think that would be a safer bet for making sure they fully cement their bond. The bickering might escalate since you are in…[Read more]

<3 Teddy ! <3

I think Bun Jovi’s eyesight has really deteriorated recently too. His was not great to begin with since he’s an REW, but lately I am not sure he can see much at all. I sometimes have to wave the salad bowl right under his face to get him to come over to it.

Do you think he may be eating less greens if he’s feeling satisfied from…[Read more]

Are you in the US? I know this isn’t your question, but I mention because there have been recent and spreading cases of RHVD, which is a very contagious and dangerous disease specific to and only rabbits. Although there are no cases in my state, our chapter of the House Rabbit Society is cautioning anyone who plans to have their rabbit…[Read more]

If he is still eating, there shouldn’t be some kind of health issue wrong. Oats and sunflower seeds are good. I would just suggest giving his pellets right up to him if that is what’s working. He’s getting older and maybe it doesn’t feel as convenient for him to go over to his pellets, especially if he is in a large area. I’m sorry I can’t offer…[Read more]

Yeah, I was gonna say the same about the hygrometer!  We have a simple one (like $10 I think) about a foot off the ground in Teddy’s area, and then use an evaporative humidifier to keep the humidity above 35%.  Hope this works for you and your bun!

Okay thank you so much! Yes I talked to my local rescue, replaced the ikea bed with a blanket and made the pen smaller after I made the post. I’ll call the vet tomorrow and ask them how long I should keep him in the pen, the receptionist who brought him to my car didn’t really say anything about post-op care but I do have a care sheet. I got…[Read more]

That’s wonderful! Lovely snuggly Luna 🙂 <3

I might have to get one of those for my buns next winter (and maybe myself LOL). They all liked the cold in California, but they’ve never experienced a New England winter!

I think as long as she is slowly improving, then things are OK. But of course if you are concerned you can give your vet a ring, especially before we head into the weekend.

Did they say how long they want her to wear the shirt?

I noticed that Cooper was REALLY un-satisfied with being in a pen in our old place, as well as all the motels we stayed at on our drive (constantly rattling the bars and trying to jump out), but in our new place he is in a NIC cube condo when unsupervised, and he seems much more at peace with it all.

There are a lot of variables that changed,…[Read more]

He sounds to be recovering well! Licking the IV area is no problem.

At the shelter we keep the buns hay boxes as they are normally after their neuters, and they are kept in a restricted space for 2 weeks (much smaller than the pen pictured). Jumping up or running full speed could cause them to pull a suture open. But neuters do heal more quickly…[Read more]

I’m so glad it’s not just me who experienced this! I thought people wouldnt beleive me. What animal would rather die of thirst than drink tap water! The tap water in my part of the UK is the hardest in the UK on a map we seen and is disgusting. I’d rather go thirsty than drink it myself. My mums dog refuses to drink it and prefers to drink out of…[Read more]

Hehehe, spoilt 😉 My BF’s previous rabbit wouldn’t drink either when he moved to another part of the country. She hated the taste of the tap water here! He needed to get her bottled water as well, and slowly mixed in the tap water so she could get used to it.
