I use rodent shavings. It absorbs the smell very well. Using shavings may help you.

Hi,

I traveled 2 times long with my rabbit. You should take a small break in travel. Feed your rabbit with vegetables at the break. If you want, put hay. But my bunny has never eaten hay.  Pay attention to the music, the sound. If your rabbit ate nothing for the first few hours when he came home, give it one of it favorite foods. If it is u…[Read more]

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply.

Both my boys were neutered about 4 years ago and we moved in 2018 so it’s been a few years. Before the biopsy the vet just assumed it was either stress related or boredom since it’s rare for rabbits to have allergies. We have changed hay, laundry detergents, blankets, filters, etc. but none…[Read more]

Yep, once they are removed from the environment that caused the staining, the problem eventually resolves itself one its own when the fur grows out.

I’m curious about not using the Benadryl as well. If it is an allergy, an antihistamine should help. I think that would be more sustainable than bathing in an anti-itch shampoo. As you know, bunnies do not need to be bathed. However, there are a few circumstances where it may be warranted. This may be one of those circumstances, but I’m afraid…[Read more]

I agree that trying Benadryl could be worthwhile. I used a generic brand liquid Benadryl, as described in my topic.

I’m curious about what markers drew the conclusion of bacterial infection due to allergy. From my research experience with Wick (not Fable, who is my Benadryl rabbit; Wick had ringworm and syphilis issues going on) I know that…[Read more]

Bunnies are tricky little creatures, because they can be quite fragile in some ways, but they are also incredible resilient and adaptable. It is very hard not to feel guilty when a rabbit passes, but try not to beat yourself up. Rabbits can die suddenly and young for many reasons, through no fault of the owner.

One thing that might help your…[Read more]

You might try feeding a little less of the dried flower/herb mix, and scattering it in his hay so he has to forage for it.

How’s his hay consumption now? He could have just been adjusting to his new environment as well.

Coincidentally, forum leader @Wick has been giving her rabbit Fable Benadryl for a different issue. She has some info on the experience here:

This also reminds me of a bunny that is currently at the rescue I volunteer at. He overgrooms his chest to the point where it was red…[Read more]

I’m not sure about rabbit groomers, but here are two links to lists of rabbit vets in New England: https://www.hopline.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/HRC_Vets_CT_MA_NY_ME_111320.pdf and https://www.rabbitnetwork.org/education-resources/vets/

Thanks for the helpful info! We’ll be sure to have them at a safe distance when the time comes…

I’m sorry I just noticed no one has replied to this. How is your bunny doing now?

Hi there, welcome 🙂

You’ll want to separate them at 12 weeks to avoid pregnancy. The good news is that babies don’t really bond, so when you separate them it won’t be like breaking a true bond. Buns have been known to mate through cage bars, so you can house them next to each other, but you should have a bit of space between. You might be able…[Read more]

That all sounds very normal to me. 🙂 He might appreciate a hide in his favorite corner so he has a safe zone to rest and nap.
