I loved the Howcast videos! & I am into a new bunny channel, especially one that is less judgmental, but also not just making your bun do things like dance, dress them up or stuff just to be cute for clicks (nothing against the occasional outfit, but when the bun looks like they are miserable I am not a fan). Please share if you get something going!

Can relate! Myra is about to go through a big molt and I’m bracing myself for a grumpy bunny (she is gets hit the worst, prob because she has such a luxurious coat).

More fiber and more water helps move the hair through. So getting creative about offering hay in dif ways can help, or even offering a different type in addition. Feeding veggies…[Read more]

Yes, I posted about the possibility of a UTI on the other thread similar to this because my rabbit had urine all over him and he had a UTI. The vet cleaned him off and gave him antibiotics & a pain med, he was back to fluff in no time!

Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Cilantro, Parsley, Spring Mix.

This morning his entire face to his eyes was soaked wet. It was terrifying. I did a deep clean of his x-pen and made it smaller. I’m going to try to make sure he’s eating and drinking water normally as he’s acting very different.

I got an appointment with another vet this Sunday so hopefully…[Read more]

@CottonTheLop – thanks for your input. Flystrike has been a concern for me, as it is getting warmer in these parts.  I never thought of a possible UTI, so thanks for that.

Amazing thank you @DanaNM for the links and your help 😉 the screen + pine pellets will be a good thing either way, should get him checked as well. I never see urine outside…[Read more]

I’m so sorry you lost your little fuzzy bun. She sounds like a wonderful friend, and friends are important.

I hope shes getting blueberry and banana in bun heaven now 💗

I’m so sorry for your loss 🙁

She sounds like an amazing bun that was dearly loved and had a wonderful life with you.

To me that looks more like urine staining than anything from poop, but that could be because it was cleaned recently. If there is constant wetness from urine that could cause poops to break apart. Does he pee outside the box often or seem to be dribbling urine at all?

I use pine pellet litter, which is really good at absorbing urine. You might…[Read more]

Have you talked to a vet about the urinating? It’s not really normal for a healthy bun to get urine on their legs, etc, so I’m wondering if he could have a UTI or another bladder issue.

It’s true that some bunnies just have very sensitive tummies and can’t have pellets or certain veggies. You can try an elimination diet (chat with your vet first)…[Read more]

Hi! So it appears that another person has commented about a same trouble on the “Behavior” thread — (they too have a lop!!)

Here is the link to that thread. The responses could help you there: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/mucky-bum-paws-what-im-doing-wrong/

I responded on that thread about my lop and the same problem. You can see my…[Read more]

Interesting, what veggies do you normally feed?

Hi! So I feel the need to respond to this since I had a rabbit who had issues that looked just like that on his paws but it was on my rabbit’s tail too. First, I want to inform you about flystrike. Flystrike can happen when urine or sludge gets on your rabbits paws. This can burn their skin and cause flies to, practically, eat at their skin. Th…[Read more]

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. She is actually doing much better now, and have reintroduced pellets (we don’t have Sherwood in Canadá and although we only live one hour away from the boarder, I will need to wait to do the switch), her vet said we can try switching her diet slowly, I think the ox ox hay is just fine (luckily), and in the meantime we…[Read more]

@DanaNM – forgot to answer your other question…he’s totally not a digger. At least I’ve never seen him dig in the litter pan. He used to claw at the carpet prior to being neutered and I haven’t seen him do that since. I will try the litter pan screen insert, DIY option. Thanks for that.

OK I’ll have to check out the scent glands and give them a…[Read more]
