Rabbits will mate with their parents if given the opportunity, or any other rabbit for that matter. So no, I wouldn’t think that’s the reason.

for such a little bun Breintje sounds very feisty!

Cooper sounds a bit like Dorian with the nail trims versus cuddles. Though Dorian is more about snuggles & lap time on his terms, and just downright pulls all the drama for nail clippings. He actually will squeak and act like I have severed his paw when I am not even clipping yet, it makes the…[Read more]

gotcha, thank you so much for the advice 😀

Yes but watch your rabbit while they’re adjusting to it. I use pellets with baking soda and it’s fine as long as the rabbit doesn’t eat it. It can expand in their stomach if they eat it though so you just need to watch carefully until you’re sure your bun doesn’t think it’s food.

Dorian had another incident yesterday. It didn’t seem as bad, but he took longer to recover… I was just about to give him his 3rd dose of gas drops and he perked up and started running through his tunnels.

One thing like last time when I massaged his tummy, poops would fly out (twice this happened last night and a little under a dozen normal…[Read more]

Jeeez Ellie, that’s awful! Consent is key for everything! Hopefully some signage will help… maybe you can add some electric wire if not!

So very sorry @Sonn , just lost my Dad too and not sure how I would deal with losing Dorian on top of that. Seriously sending you a big hug and please take care of yourself. Binky free sweet Joey.

Yep, frisee/endive/chichory are all good staples.

The main thing to watch out for are veggies that are high oxalate (beet tops, chard, spinach, parsley). Many veggies that are high in calcium are also super nutritious (like carrot tops, which are also very high in vitamin A).

Dr Frances Harcourt-Brown has an article discussing veggies and…[Read more]

Unfortunately it didn’t seem to help him very much, but we think he had a chronic issue due to his genetics. I also had a hard time getting cecals from my healthy rabbit, so I think we only successfully did cecal shakes once, but did poop shakes with regular poops for maybe a week?

That said, my vet would only ever do things that worked for him…[Read more]

You’re welcome! I’m so happy to hear she is on the mend!

Seeing a bun nibbling hay after a stasis episode is just about the best feeling in the world.

Grabbing at your bags and coat? And debit card?! I would just assume someone’s trying to rob me in that situation, geez! How can anyone think that’s appropriate? I’m so sorry you have to put up with people like that. Putting a sign on your wheelchair is a good idea, that should help. And maybe put something sticky/slimey on the handles, they’ll…[Read more]

Yes, it’s really crazy. Some people also try to push you out of the way, like an abandoned grocery cart. What shocked me is that it’s mostly older people who cross the line. I’ve had about 60 incidents in the last 3 years, and only 4 people were under 60.

Some people with a disability already started putting spike bracelets on their wheelchair…[Read more]

Poor guy, but you’re right, it’s a good thing he didn’t have to spend a lot of time in a place he hated before passing.

I can’t believe people push your wheelchair around without your permission, that’s crazy. It’s incredibly rude, but I guess it’s like you  said, they think they’re “helping”. But they need to at least ask first, and certainly…[Read more]
