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.

Awww, Nico is gorgeous! A very unique colour indeed 🙂 And ears that go on for miles, imagine all the cute things you can whisper into them ^_^

Looks so sweet ❤️❤️ My bunny doesn’t like sunlight. 🙄🙄
