Are your stairs timber or carpeted? Timber stairs are very slippery for bunnies because they don’t have any paw pads for grip. In addition, rabbits struggle going down stairs because of the way they hop, it risks them tumbling over. My rabbit used to fly straight up the stairs, but was always much slower going down and used to take each step more…[Read more]

Thank you. Unfortunately after closer supervision today I realised her water intake has increased. I watched them all afternoon from the time I got home from work and she drank 5 times in the time Apollo drank twice, and she drank for longer times than he did.

I know it’s not diabetes because with her weight loss at her first vet visit I…[Read more]

Any sudden temperature change above 10 C is dangerous, even if just for a few hours unfortunately. You sure are in the RHD danger zone there. 🙁

Is she going to stay in the hutch only while outside or is there going to be a free roam area she will have access to?

Please let us know how he is!

Agree with Bam. When I pick up my rabbit (I only do it when there’s no way around it), I start at the head and slowly slide my hands over the top of their body, my fingers going underneath while my thumbs stay on top. This helps to keep them from jumping up or forward.

Hi Az! I’m very sorry to hear Luna isnt well.

As LBJ says, weightloss without a marked decrease in food intake does make one think of really bad things. I think its very wise to supplement her with CC. How is her water intake? (Diabetes would cause weight loss but also a vast increase in thirst and urinary output).

EC is a possibility, but when…[Read more]

I have two cats and two rabbits. I got my cats as kittens after I already had the rabbits. I never allowed any contact from my cats because I didn’t want to encourage anything. I allowed them to sniff noses, but any paw lifting from the cats, any hint at play behaviour and they were immediately told off and separated from the rabbits. As kittens…[Read more]

My understanding is that a liner is specifically made with an absorbent layer in between outer layers of fleece. Very common in the guinea pig world.

Personally I just use plain fleece fabric and just fold it in half so it’s double layered.

I don’t like pee pads. He has access to them but unless it is very cold or raining he goes out to potty. He’s actually gotten to where he loves going out and will stand at the door and howl if I go to slow getting my other 2 dogs ready to go out.

Its actually a good sign she seems mad and offended. Is she taking the treats? Does she move her legs normally?

If she is just angry and scared, she will forgive you. Rabbits do that. They can be miffed for a few hours though. I’d try not to fuss over her too much, but keep a close eye to make sure she’s physically alright.

Sometimes we have to…[Read more]

We saw an opthamologist for her cataract after our regular vet, he mentioned EC but didn’t think it looked like an EC cataract, which of course doesn’t mean it definitely isn’t one. He said that one eye was unusual as well (age related are usually both eyes or shower onset) but in terms of overall eye health otherwise there was nothing to be…[Read more]

I didn’t mean that I would bring her in for days at a time, just for a couple hours every few days. I’m not sure if that’s unhealthy.

I am simply not allowed to have her in the house overnight, nor am I allowed to let her free roam at any time. It’s not my house so that isn’t anything I can change. I do plan on getting her vaccinated in the next…[Read more]

Haha, i love it 😍😍 I lost myself while reading, thanks 😂😂

Update

Shadow had a tooth extracted and some trimming on Saturday morning. The vet said his tooth was loose and they had to extract it. Since then he is feeling a lot better. He no longer dry heaves or drools. I’m glad they figured out what was wrong with him. They also took out the mass on his cheek. I chose not to send it out to the lab since…[Read more]
