Monitoring it is wise, if it really is mites, it will get bigger, with more and more dandruff. Revolution (selamectin) is the best and safest remedy for rabbit mites.

(PSA: Never use any compound containing fipronil on a rabbit. Its sold OTC under many different brand names, f ex Frontline. It can be deadly toxic to rabbits. End of PSA!)

Ok thank you, I will just monitor it to make sure that it continues to heal well! I just don’t know what else could have caused it… hopefully, I am right and it wasn’t her partner.

Does your rabbit eat hay at all? Selective eating can be a sign of dental problems, in that foods that require more teeth grinding and effort to eat become painful/uncomfortable to eat, therefore they stop. I ask about hay because that is usually the first food to go when dental problems arise, and also because hay is the number one food item to…[Read more]

This doesn’t look like mites to me, it looks like a wound that is healing over and has formed a scab.

Hi there,

For pre-bonding pen set-up, I usually like around 4-6 inches between the fences. 6 inches is usually enough…[Read more]

Some bunnies are mellow. 🙂 It can be tricky at first to learn what’s normal for you bun, and what’s a symptom of them not feeling well. You might find your bun comes out of his shell a bit and gets more adventurous with time, or he may just be a cuddle bug.
