How old is he? The tear duct may be blocked. This can be caused by a lot of things, but the thing us bunny-owners think of first is tooth root problems.

The broom sweeps the floor, i don’t think it’s very clean. I am very cleanly. I don’t want to give it the broom for chew. But I will try to introduce😃

My bunny calms down when i put down the broom. It doesn’t bother my bunny if he stays in the room. When I put down the broom, it comes to me. Sniffs me and sits beside me. As if not sharing me.😃😃 I’m brooming when it is in another room. My bunby hears and understands it brush voice. Getting aggressive again. It calms down when it sees me. Is it…[Read more]

Rexs are prone to sore hocks. They don’t look super red or cracked, which is great. I would keep monitoring and ensure that you’re keeping your rabbit at a healthy weight and that she is getting space to exercise and move around on flooring that is flat and soft. Uneven flooring, like wire bottom cage floors, or overly rough textures can be…[Read more]

Thanks will try mashing them up and will buy critical care tomorrow.

This is a total guess, but allergies?

I’m also thinking he doesn’t like the hay rack that came with the cage.

Anyone have a recommendation?

I would feel free to give her extra greens to make sure she’s getting enough to eat. Can you try offering some pellet mash or critical care? If you have fresh grass available you could also try that.

He said she was very good at letting him open her mouth and was able to see/feel around at the back. She is normal and active in all other ways, except you can tell she’s hungry.  Will call the vet tomorrow. Thanks

Was your rabbit treated for the mites?

That doesn’t sound normal to me. She could also have an injury, not just the mites. Is your vet rabbit savvy?

It does sound like a dental problem. Did your vet do a deep oral exam of the molars? Is your vet rabbit savvy? Sometimes an x-ray is needed, because you can’t usually see the back teeth without anesthesia.

Are there any other symptoms of pain or behavioral changes?

Ok gotcha!

I like the 24/7 method, but I usually like do a few short sessions first, just to get a sense of how things will go. And of course have back-up plans in case it’s not going well. There’s nothing wrong with taking some breaks if you need them (or especially if the bunnies need them). If you’re going to do it alone, it can be hard to…[Read more]

I do think some rabbits perceive the broom as another rabbit. A broom is hairy, it moves, and it intrudes into the bun’s territory where it messes with the bun’s poop. Buns have territorial poops that they mark their area with. The broom tries to remove this poop, which must be regarded as an act of hostility. The fact that your bun starts to poop…[Read more]
