Blackberries! 😋

Fingers crossed her liver tests come back fine so you can start her on the Panacur.

You could mix some baby fruit puree/smoothie in her CC, but sugar content in those products is still rather high even though it’s natural fruit sugars (commonly banana or mango or pear). Berries sounds ideal, but 7 dollars is quite steep 😳

It could be very stressful if there are dogs around. Many vet clinics offer nail clipping (by a vet tech) for a reasonable fee. (That doesnt guarantee freedom from dogs in the waiting room, of course).

If the nails are white you should be able to see the quick? My bun has some white nails and some black (he has white markings). The white nails…[Read more]

My apologies, I missed the fact that she is 10 pounds 😬That would make it difficult to weigh her in a bowl. (I had a bun who was 6.6 pounds and he really filled out the bowl!)

I was planning to use welded chicken wire when I build her hutch but I can easily use pet-proof screen/mesh instead. I’ll definitely ask my vet about that when I take her in to get vaccinated soon. I am not really in a wet area but there is a riverbed a couple miles from my house and we still get mosquitoes.

She wouldn’t be able to be protected…[Read more]

Ooh, did I figure out how to post pics?

I stopped at the shops and picked up a couple of options, blackberries, strawberries and banana. Will see what she likes best. First and last time I’m paying $7 for a tiny punnet of blackberries, lol.

Wonderful, thank you both so much!  🙂  And yes, DanaNM, I did mean sunflower seeds, sorry about that.  Love to Bun Jovi!  🙂

Good that she got some fluids. Poor girl, she sounds really stressed to be biting you. Fingers crossed for good results.

I can tell you: bananas are bunny crack 😉 One problem though: once they’ve had a taste, you’ll never eat one again without having to share. Or you’ll get THE STARE! Those round big eyes staring up at you: feeeed meeeee!…[Read more]

Yes, i was not thinking before. But now i think to sterilize. The advice on the forum gave me strength. And my bunny behavior has changed. Now it started to poop everywhere. 🤦🤦🤦

Interesting, I didn’t think about providing hiding spots outside of her caged area. I will definitely give that a try.

I’m unsure about clicker training. I always assumed I needed the bunny’s trust to be able to train her. I’m currently trying to teach her “come here” and I’ll offer her a treat if she comes. By now I’m sure she knows the com…[Read more]

Don’t feel bad at all! My Bertha was about 11 lbs at her biggest, and she was still overweight on 1/4 cup food so our vet had us cut it back to 1 tablespoon (and eventually had us just stop all pellets). I agree that the pellet brand can make a huge difference as well, because most feed-shop brand adult pellets are not formulated for maintenance…[Read more]

We’re at the vet right now, they’re just taking bloods. No dental problems, definitely concern about the kidneys. She’s happy to try a course of panacur but after the blood results come back tomorrow to check her liver function first. They’re also going to give her some sub q fluids now to help give her a bit of a boost.

She also recommended…[Read more]

I usually name my rabbits either by planets or anime, how about Jupiter I’ve always loved that name but don’t have an extra bunny to use it on 😂

Hmm… 1/4 a cup does sound like a lot of food. BUT she is a 10lb bunny, so it probably isn’t WAY too much. Probably more like a tiny bit too much. At least when it comes to a high quality pellet. Since you don’t know what’s in these pellets, it’s hard to know how much she should be getting. I would definitely try to find out if they are…[Read more]

I was always told about a tablespoon for oats, but I suppose it depends on the size of the rabbit too.

Hopefully you can get some answers from the vet! I agree that sometimes it’s best to just treat for EC since the tests are not very reliable.
