Thank you for the advice. You seem to be so far correct in saying that he will be just fine. I will continue to monitor him.

LBJ makes a good point: rabbits have amazing tolerance. Our bun needed medication, and he had to get the same dosage as a dog 10 times his size!  😯

It looks like you did everything you could do. How is he doing now?

That’s so sad, I’m sorry for your loss. It’s indeed important that her group members had the chance to say goodbye, and maybe it’s some comfort that she didn’t die alone or in a strange place.

Popcorn free, little Josie!

Hydrangeas contain a type of cyanogenic glycoside. This is a toxin that is produced by plants as a defense mechanism. It would make a dog or cat sick if they ate it. However, rabbits are a little bit different in that they can tolerate a higher level of toxins produced by plants because they are adapted to eat a variety of plants. Could a rabbit…[Read more]

That can be a bit of a shock when your bun is overweight, because they’re so fluffy it’s difficult to notice. I was so embarrassed when the vet told me he needed to lose 20% of his bodyweight to be healthy again 😯 Our bun got fat after his neuter because his energy levels dropped a bit. The vet told us that rabbits have a metabolism that’s…[Read more]

Sorry for your loss 🙁  She sounds so unique and beautiful. My piggy Chico passed away probably 8 years ago now and I still think about her often (especially when I open the veggie crisper drawer).

Rest in peace little piggy. <3

It seems the potential is there, but there have been no documented cases in either wild or domestic rabbits. The reason they know the potential is there is through lab experiments… but it should also be noted that none of the test subjects actually exhibited symptoms. It was just shown that they were capable of shedding the virus.

Here’s what…[Read more]

She is going to be primarily outside because of my living arrangements but I will also be bringing her inside periodically. This hutch though will permanently be outside.

Is this for outside or inside? CC cages are very popular and easy to build, if you’re keeping the bun inside (which I would suggest). Or x-pens.

Agreed, 1/4 cup is a lot of food. Just for reference, my bun weighs 3lbs and gets 1/8 cup.

Hugs to you.

Thank you so much! 🙂

Fingers crossed your bunny will be fine, and you of course! I hope you will have a quick recovery and no lasting symptoms.

1/4 cup of pellets is a lot. How much does she weigh? I would cut down to 1/8 cup or even a tablespoon and see how that goes. Adult bunnies really don’t need many pellets, some vets don’t recommend them at all, esp if a bun is overweight (when my Bertha needed to lose weight my vet told me to just stop all pellets). You can start weighing her…[Read more]

I’m not sure if it’s becoming more common or we just have a name for it now. I recall some older threads on this forum where some people recalled having bunnies with chronic tummy issues that were likely megacolon, but just never diagnosed. It’s tricky to tease apart, because rabbit medicine has advanced so much in recent years.

My Bertha and…[Read more]
