Wenny replied to the topic Early transition from alfalfa to grass hay?? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 4 months ago
He’s a very picky bun when it comes to food but I think oaten hay is rather sweet for his palate. From the beginning he’s never had too big of a preference between oaten and alfalfa, and right now I’ve chosen to just feed him the grass hay. He’s eating it just fine but I think the sudden transition is making him a little stressed (or maybe its his…[Read more]

Awww, it’s so cute when they wash you ^_^ Is he a kissy bunny often?
I always close my eyes a bit when Breintje grooms me. I’ll go into “relaxed bunny mode”: eyes relaxed and half closed, relaxed muscles and slow breathing, and purring softly. Breintje started to groom me more often when he got feedback like that 🙂

You are very welcome to make several posts, of course 😃
You can wean your bun off alfalfa now. Normally the recommendation is 6 months, so 5.5 months will be fine. The problem with weaning a bun of off alfalfa is that grass hay isnt as tasty, so that’s why its recommended to do a slow-ish transition. It’s great that your bun has had oat hay as…[Read more]

<p class=”p1″>Hi guys,</p>
<p class=”p1″>so sorry for making several posts in a few days, it’s been a bit stressful in the bunny household recently lol. So basically, I don’t know what is going on with the alfalfa hay around my area but I’ve been either finding small white mold spores on the hay, strange coloured bugs crawling inside the bag,…[Read more] -
Ellie from The Netherlands replied to the topic baking soda in paper pellet bedding in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 4 months ago
Baking soda is fine, although I’d choose an acid to neutralise rabbit pee smells and stains. Rabbit urine is quite alkaline (up to pH 8,8 😯 ) because it’s concentrated and has a lot of ammonium compounds. That’s why bunny pee really stinks when exposed to air for a while: the compounds fall apart and release ammonia gas. We always clean urine…[Read more]

We believe in evil eye. I am not saying you have bad eyes, do not misunderstand me. People look to the person they love most. We say Masallah the things we love and like very much😄😄

I’m so happy to hear that! More appetite and better poop ^_^ It’s cute that she comes to you more often now, and it makes me less worried. A rabbit in severe pain or discomfort would avoid others. It also shows that she loves to eat, which is another good sign 🙂

Do rabbits hiccup? 😄😄 But there is no sound. There is also a very strong spasm, even the seat is shaking. Will hiccups be so strong? I hope it’s hiccups. Because it doesn’t hurt. Thank you for compliment. In Islam, we say “mashallah” so that there is no evil eye.. I want my son, mashallah😄😄😄😄

Hi, @Wick , @LBJ10 , @Bam I caught a new video. I can not upload to the site. I created a video upload link. Do you see if this is a spasm? But it doesn’t hurt

DanaNM replied to the topic GI Stasis help! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 4 months ago
Is he getting unlimited pellets because he doesn’t eat hay, or has he always had that many pellets? I think even if a bun is not eating hay well, unlimited pellets won’t really help the situation.
Have his teeth been checked thoroughly?
I do think that the lack of hay is at the root of the issues, but it would be important to rule out a dental…[Read more]

BenBentheBun started the topic Abscess and Bicillin (Marcy E. Rosenfield (Moore) ) in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 4 months ago
4 days after Bentley’s neuter, I discovered a quite large swelling above the neuter incision. I emailed the vet and brought him in the following Tuesday. The vet mentioned that it’s likely a abscess and prescribed baytril, metacam and gabapentin. I don’t think the baytril will do anything honestly but so far he is eating, pooping and alert. I will…[Read more]

If the scabs don’t look irritated or “angry”, then I wouldn’t be overly concerned. It isn’t unusual for there to be scabbing after a neuter.

Having a really tough time with my foster bunny, who was saved from a neglect situation. Since I got him months ago, he has had no interest in eating hay, and if I try to encourage him, he just breaks a piece off and spits it out. Over the past few weeks, he had been getting mad when I put him up into his pen at night and dug like crazy until he…[Read more]

this sounds cute, may have to give it a go. I have tried flopping next to Dorian… he usually looks startled for a second then gives me a quick wash.

jerseybunnies replied to the topic Jumping Jack's New Pen in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 4 months ago
Yes, mine is made for large dogs so it is very heavy and strong as well as tall! I’m my opinion it is easier than NIC Grids since all you have to do is kind of mold it into your desired shape! Also provides room for the bunny to binky / zoomy and it will let them feel comfortable as there is no roof over their head!

Hi! Two weeks ago (tomorrow) we had our 8month old lop neutered. He tolerated surgery well with no pre op concerns. Until today. I just had him out and noticed there are scabs on both testes. I haven’t noticed any licking of the area but he has been avidly humping things, which I thought was just something he had to get out of his system, but I…[Read more]
