I think if you are ready for the process, then it’s not too soon. Even if you don’t bond them right away, he might benefit from having a neighbor and a long pre-bonding period. This will help you bond a bit with both bunnies individually before starting the bonding process.

Do you know if he was previously bonded to a male or a female? Two…[Read more]

She will be OK until you can get to the vet. The vet might even be able to prescribe something over the phone (Revolution is one of the common treatments).

Since you have a reply in the other thread I will lock this topic so things don’t get confusing. 🙂

Young Rabbit with Mites

Agree with others, lionheads might be prone to certain issues like dental problems, but not so much that they would have a dramatically shorter life span. They also could be including unspayed females in that calculation.

I don’t have any experience with this, just want to say I’m sorry you are going through this.

He sounds like a fighter and you are doing all you can to give him a shot.

It’s true that sometimes the runts of litters have issues in their development, so they don’t always live very long. If his treatment plan or outlook could change with a visit to…[Read more]

I found a paper documenting two rabbits who have this condition. I’ve linked it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nXnerlWoSDBjZTRaRvNRhz6SSGbsHYKb/view?usp=sharing

The last page has the treatment and response from treatment. It seems improvements were seen with topical treatment over a course of a few weeks.

Thank you, it works now! 🙂

The reason why I posted it twice is because the reply didn’t show the first time. I’m having some problems with my phone as well, so I always copy my text before submitting. When the page loaded but I didn’t see my reply, I copied it and replied again.

Hi Ellie 🙂

I went ahead and fixed it. The reply was submitted twice with little time in-between, so I think our system flagged it as spam as a result. We know you’re not spam and your reply is now public! Sorry for the technical mishap there.

It’s very natural to have mixed feelings about things — she helps your anxiety when you watch her binky and hold her, and at the same time, she seems to be a big source of anxiety right now. There’s a lot that goes into taking care of a pet rabbit, and if you feel you may not be able to take care of her right now, I would recommend rehoming her.…[Read more]

If he was bonded before then we know he’s a normal bunny (there are the odd bunnies who just don’t want a friend). I would say it isn’t really too soon as long as the buns you’re looking at are neutered. If not maybe the shelter can neuter one and keep him for you for a couple/few weeks until you can bring him home to do prebonding? If not it’s…[Read more]

Please try not to worry.

When corn kernels become popcorn,  the corn kernels burst because the starchy contents expand when heated. A bun will survive eating pop corns. It’s not an ideal food for buns, but its not outright lethal. It’s very wise to avoid feeding rabbits whole dried corn kernels, but I have a bun who lived on rabbit muesli mix…[Read more]

Rabbits ideally shouldn’t be fixed until they’re fully grown to allow the skeleton to develop properly. This is especially important for giant breeds like Flemmies because of their weight, they don’t stop growing until they’re 9-12 months old. Early neutering can cause developmental abnormalities which can in turn cause issues like hip dysplasia,…[Read more]

Ive seen similar mucus in my bun’s poop. He was prescribed 5 days of metronidazole (an antibiotic) and it went away with that.

Mucus in poop may just mean the intestinal lining is irritated.
