This topic is also interesting for me. Sometimes people want my rabbit’s poop from me, to fertilize. How rabbit poop is used as fertilizer? Are you putting the poop directly into the soil? Is the fertilizer preparation process done before?

In the end, it’s better to let our bunnies rest in a way that’ll be comfortable and safe for them. Desks are pretty high up and your bunny might be stressed out from not being on the ground.

Well, since they are fighting, the bond is more or less broken. So separating them probably won’t make them depressed. But if you at least keep them so they can see each other and smell each other they will know the other bun is there, which might be what you want, or need to avoid depending on how they are acting.

You could see how they do with…[Read more]

It’s hard to say…. I think a space can be fairly easily turned into semi-neutral. But to be completely neutral is harder. Rabbits are very smell oriented, so if it smells like home, they will know where they are. So the more foreign you can make it smell the better.

Some very food-motivated bunnies can be like this, it can be very frustrating.

How long have they been bonded? Is there anything else going on with them that might be affecting their bond at all?

I was dealing with this a bit with one of my pairs when they were newly bonded, but it seems like it has gotten better over time. I also started making…[Read more]

I would take him to the vet.  Drinking a lot can indicate multiple things, including a kidney problem, especially if he isn’t peeing more along with it. Sometimes bunnies with dental pain also will drink extra.

The reason she wasnt drinking is because the water in our tap has been sourced differently. We all had a letter locally. So we changed to bottle water which she drinks but only if we keep the brand the same. Whenever we change it she stops drinking. Also when we recently fitted a new carpet the smell distressed her so much she stopped drinking it.…[Read more]

Thank you very much for the answer!!

Yes, she is cleaning herself not touching the incision area. But she is doing it like most of the day. Could it be because she has this shirt on?

Bene-bac is the main one I know of that’s used in rabbits, and it is used for orphaned wild cotton tails when weaning them.

It really is quite amazing how similar horses and rabbits are! Teeth, gastric issues, etc… One of our vets didn’t get formal training on rabbits, but did on horses. Then she trained with a rabbit vet at the practice and…[Read more]

Not eating enough hay is usually the cause of smaller poops and mushy poops.

It has only been a couple days since her spay, so I would just keep up offering her as much food as she will take, especially hay. Once her hay consumption gets back to normal, then her poops should be mostly back to normal. Each bun handles anesthesia and surgeries…[Read more]

Hi thanks yes we do. We do give subqs at home as I have regular injections and know how to give them. This only helps when she is severely dehydrated as when we give her regular subqs she stops drinking as she thinks she hydrated. Then her digestion gets even worse as her stomach contents become even dryer as shes not takng fluids orally

That picture looks like there could be lop mixed in. There are “helicopter buns” which are bunnies with one ear up, one ear down. Since the bunny is young, they could still have control in one of their ears, which is why one of the ears is only sometimes lopped. You might end up with two ears up, two ears down, or one ear up, one ear down.

That sounds great! After the poops are normal, your rabbit should be up and running just like before! 🙂
