Ohhh I so hope he’s feeling better!

Yeaaahhhhh the vinyl is working great for Nora and Fresno because they don’t chew on the pee pads that are covering it, but Quincy chewed up her pee pad, so I put a fluffy bed in there instead to cover the edges, but then she chewed that up, so I put a flat bath mat in there hoping she couldn’t grip her teeth on it which worked for a while but the…[Read more]

Give sticks and wood to chew on. Is straw or grass available?

Of course! This is my favorite illustration by oblyvian. We had a post about it on facebook a year or more ago, though I’m not sure you can find it again. It was humorous, but basically if you know your bunny’s date of birth you can read up on that sign’s traits and see if it applies.

Any update on Dorian?

Sometimes they also clean up after themselves. Our bun is a senior and almost 9 years old. Sometimes he’s a bit slower on the way to the litter box and drops a few pellets while walking to it. He cleans them up himself. It looks like your rabbit may be doing the same. Alto sounds healthy and properly spoilt 😉

You can place a water bottle wrapped in a towel near him, so he can cuddle it if he needs to. When Bun Jovi was really poorly on a Sunday night a few…[Read more]

I know you want the best for him, so let us know how it went.

I’m sorry no one responded to this! How is your bunny doing now?

I think bunnies can go through phases of being more mellow, or they may get a little bored with their environment. Maybe you could give her some enrichment toys for feeding times?

Also for giving oral fluids, I have a much easier time using the 1 mL syringes (thanks for the tip Moonlightbunny).

Can you take his temp?

If he pooped, I wouldn’t be worried about a blockage. I am not a vet, but personally I would syringe feed. It doesn’t need to be a ton, but you could do a few mL and see how he responds. Since you said he’s molting he prob just has some excess fur he needs to push through. I would keep up the tummy rubs and do another dose of simethicone.
