HulknEllie started the topic Kidney stones in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 4 months ago
Hi everyone,
We had to take my 8 year old Netherland dwarf Rabbit, Ellie, to the emergency vet tonight after we horrifically noticed her pee blood. It only happened once and she wasn’t showing any signs of pain up until that point (eating, drinking, playing with her brother). After an xray the vet found one kidney stone, and some small calcium…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Grooming comb in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 4 months ago
I use a combo of hand plucking, the hair buster, and sticky lint roller sheets. I’ve also used soft bristle brushes (more to desensitize the bun to brushing) and the kong groom zoom (it works, but the fur kind of flies everywhere). My buns all have slightly different coat textures, so different combs work better on some (and they tolerate…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Not drinking after stasis in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 4 months ago
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear this. 🙁
If he’s getting critical care and wet greens, that might be enough fluids for him, especially if he’s not eating hay on his own (which usually makes buns thirsty). If he’s urinating normally, I think he’s prob OK for now. You could syringe some water or hay tea if you are worried.
I know I’ve mentioned this…[Read more]

I need a bit of help. I know that the hairbuster is probably the best comb for rabbits when molting but I want to know if there are other kinds of combs/brushes that I could use that would be just as good or at least decent enough until I can get a hairbuster. Also, how long should I brush for? I read/heard for 45 minutes to an hour but I also…[Read more]

Pinky went into a form of stasis on Wednesday. He was lethargic in the morning and only had a few bites of his lettuce so I took him to the vet and got there in the afternoon. They did x rays, no obstruction but lots of gas, especially in the colon. We were going to take him to an animal hospital by referral (they can do a ct scan) to try to…[Read more]

6-CanadianBuns replied to the topic Elm and maple wood safe? in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 4 months ago
Hi, everyone
I am wondering if there might be a list somewhere listing what branches need to be dried out prior to giving to your bunny to those that can be chewed anytime?
I have Maple, Poplar, oak, and pine in my yard.
also how long in a dehydrator would it take to make it safe to chew? Hard question I know.
I know my boy Loki loves…[Read more]

anyone know a connection to BB store from Canada? Every time I order something from the States, I get hit with an extra shipping from fed ex , (excluding BB as I have not ordered yet from them.) I have tried hop on line but I have been waiting almost a week for a price to shipping. I did not realize how difficult it is to get stuff from th…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Scale-like scabs on outside of bunny ears in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 4 months ago
It’s normal for buns to scratch their eyes sometimes of course! 🙂
It doesnt look too bad to me, but it could still be fur mites. It could also be related to shedding, it’s not uncommon for buns to get some “dandruff” when they shed. I think I’d just keep an eye on it for now. You can brush the ears with a very soft baby brush to help him get rid…[Read more]

Archiethebunny replied to the topic Scale-like scabs on outside of bunny ears in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 4 months ago

Thank you for your reply. Here is an image of Archie’s ear. It may also be worth noting he is sorta in between costs right now, and shedding daily. Maybe that has something to do with it? He does itch his watch from time to time (every 2-3 hours or so) but it hasn’t seemed excessive or damaging. -

Bam replied to the topic MY RABBITS GOT HOLD OF A PLASTIC BAG! HELP in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 4 months ago
I had a bun who over a series of years ate a plastic cat toy, big chunks out of a hot water bottle and the rubber lip of a dustpan – among other things. Even if you think you bun proof everything, rabbits always find ways to get themselves into trouble 😨🐇

SvenandGigi replied to the topic MY RABBITS GOT HOLD OF A PLASTIC BAG! HELP in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 5 months ago
Ok thank you so much!
I have brought them inside (don’t worry there isn’t a big temperature change from their home outside) so that I can keep an eye on them and check they are eating and drinking and pooping ok
they eat veg so I will use your advice in order to try and get extra water in
thanks again, you have helped put my mind at ease a bit!

“Scales” sounds a bit like it could be fur mites, even though they are more commonly found at the nape of the neck/ between the shouldblades our at the root of the tail. Rabbits can get reinfested with fur mites, or…[Read more]

Hey,
my bunny Archie has these odd scabs of dead skin on his ears, they almost look like scales. When he came to me I had him treated for a fur mite infestation, which he fully recovered from. He developed visible pinworms after being neutered which was triggered by the stress of the operation (the vet said he was likely born with them and they…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic MY RABBITS GOT HOLD OF A PLASTIC BAG! HELP in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 5 months ago
If they only ate some of it, they will most likely be just fine. Keep a close eye on how much poop they produce and on their appetite. If they stop pooping or refuse to eat even their favorite food, you should contact a vet.
Rabbits chew what they eat because they cant swallow big chunks of stuff like dogs do. This is good because it makes it…[Read more]
