The smell is getting so much better, thank you. Though I think this is a combination of both her urine health improving, as well as my own physical health. I do think I was dealing with some olfactory issues that was effecting my sense of smell. That is getting better.

I have ordered her those Oxbow urinary supplements, and she still has her…[Read more]

Well I’ve been to three vets with my rabbits and all agree about spaying. Actually I’ve never read it’s bad and always read and heard from vets and rescues how likely that females will get cancer if not. It’s not really a contraversial subject.  I think a breeder would sadly not keep rabbits as real house pets long term to know.. a rabbit just…[Read more]

That great! But… is the smell getting better? LOL

i’m still doing research on the spaying, but i’m a little hesitant to trust HRS’ advice (from what i’ve heard from breeders i’ve talked to is that it is basically the PETA of the rabbit world; not trying to spark any arguments here, just stating my views on them). i’m not super trusting of the study DanaNM is referring to either, since to my…[Read more]

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear Rain is doing better. Hopefully she will like the new hay. And I’m glad to hear that your parents have agreed that therapy could be helpful to you. There is no shame in getting help and I think it will help you sort out the issues you have been having. I know Rain was causing you a lot of anxiety so hopefully…[Read more]

Hello! Sorry I got caught up with things and forgot to send updates. The vet identified that Rain had mild G.I stasis, and I think whatever gut infection she had last time hadn’t fully gone away. I asked her about potential root issues because of the aversion to hay and she said she’s pretty certain that it had to do with the gut infection and not…[Read more]

You could also just handfeed him some of his regular pellets. He won’t care that it’s not technically a “treat”, they love their pellets, especially alfalfa. With real treats you would only be able to give him one or two a day, with pellets you can just keep them coming and get much more bonding time out of it.

Hey sorry to keep bugging you guys about this issue, but I wanted to update this thread in case anyone with a similar problem ever stumbles upon it. The consistency of my rabbit’s pee has really changed – i changed her pan again today and her urine was normal again, i can’t believe it. none of that milkiness to it that had been so bad. i have not…[Read more]

Oxbow makes several biscuit type treats.

Rabbits sneeze, just like people do. It’s only an issue if he sneezes a lot and/or has a discharge from the sneezing.

I just want to echo everything that Wick said. I’m not sure where the breeder got the idea that spaying shortens the life span, because the opposite is true. Reproductive cancers occur in about 75% of rabbits over age 4, and the rates just go up with age.

You will want to spay both buns, then wait for their hormones to settle before you start…[Read more]
