Activity

I have heard of people doing both (trying to stop as little as possible vs. staying at a hotel halfway through). I have never tried this personally. But, from what I have heard, bunnies tend to sleep during long trips. Stress level varies though. Some bunnies start to chill out once they realize ordeal is going to be for an extended period of…[Read more]

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. I agree that fluffy bunnies can be hard to stay on top of. Some fur types are definitely worse than others.

I always had better luck with smaller trimmers. Ones that are for “personal grooming” on humans work better. I found the ones made for pets to be too large and too loud. The smaller trimmers for people…[Read more]

Fluffy buns can get out of control so quickly, even on a good day!

My old bunny Churro (a Fuzzy Lop) was a constant battle against mats. He was extremely matted when we adopted him (even after the shelter shaved a lot of them) and it was an uphill battle his whole life. I had some luck with grooming scissors (the kind with the little ball at the…[Read more]

Hello!

Sorry to hear that you have to travel with cats lol! And that you have to make such a long move.

Your plan for Gustavo’s setup sounds pretty solid. It sounds like you have all bases covered!

I made a 17 hour drive with my bun Georgia when she was a baby. I was worried how she would do, but she honestly just slept most of it. When I…[Read more]

I’m sorry you’re gping through a rough time. It’s wonderful that you can deal with your rabbits’ fur and nails now, bc it must mean you’re gaining back some strenght and energy!

For matted fur I’d cut with scissors first. You can hold your fingers as close to the skin as you can and cut “above” them so you don’t risk nicking the skin. It’s obv…[Read more]

Yeah, my one bun, Arthas, acts like he is straight up being murdered when its bunny spa day lol. Little drama queen!

I’m not sure if it’s like this with all buns, but I noticed that when the nail had healed, it never really grew back like the others. It just remained a short, uh, stub (for lack of a better word). At least in my experience with…[Read more]

Thanks both of you! It looks like it was just her nail. She is very much a diva about her nails, so I admit I tend to put it off longer than I should.  Her very fluffy feet hide it, too. Still was scary walking I. And seeing her little nose all covered in blood.

Luckily, she has forgiven me and has been booping about without any issues. Keeping…[Read more]

Ah, this makes more sense now. If the nail is much shorter than you would ever try to trim, then I’m going to guess it was already broken and bleeding. Especially if it wasn’t bleeding a lot at that point because a freshly broken nail is going to bleed A LOT. I can totally see her trying to nurse her wound and getting some blood on her nose.

Sorry to hear about Miu! It sounds like it could be possible the blood on her nose could have come from her nail if it was broken and/or bleeding. She could have been licking her paw and gotten a bit on her nose.

Longer bunny toes seem more prone to breaking, especially in free roam buns because they can be more adventurous and more places to…[Read more]

Oh and the dried blood is on bridge of nose. Doesn’t look like it came from inside nose.

Tried to upload a photo of her nose, but it’s not showing up in my media and wouldn’t let me do it directly.  Her and Dorian seem fine with each other at least. Trimmed both their nails. Miu is traumatized by that now. Going to try and give her space and just monitor.

They are freeroam. There’s a willow basket she could have scraped on, but not really anything else.

I went to go check that the wound wasn’t somewhere else and noticed that her nails were way to long. Got worried she could break one & started trimming and one looks very short and bleeding.  I may have done it accidentally as she wasn’t…[Read more]

What is their enclosure made out of? Could she have cut her nose on wire or grid? Did you examine it closely? It does look like a scratch and not possibly coming from inside her nose?

I haven’t been active in a while either as things just dropped off as it wasn’t as active, and guilty of being back because had a question.  It really is an invaluable resource.

I miss the photo threads!
