I’m not familiar with these clear grids. What are they normally used for?

One thing to try might be a smaller bowl. If you have to provide 2, that’s OK. Having a smaller bowl, preferably one that mounts off the floor, can prevent extra bunny parts from making it into the water.

You can always try a water bottle to see if she still drinks enough (assuming she takes to it, of course).

I just wanted to check in. How is Rain doing? And how are YOU doing?

What kind of pads are you using? I wonder if, since it’s under a grate, you could use the kind with activated charcoal in them. I agree that vinegar can just make things smell worse. It doesn’t mix well with urine smell.

Some other thoughts – Have you had her checked for a UTI? Symptoms can manifest in different ways, so it might not be a bad…[Read more]

He does eat his hay,  I just bought him a nice bag from a local farm and he really loves it.  I keep stashes around the house for him to encourage him to eat it more.

Thank you for the reply! I appreciate all the advice I can get 😀

It is great that she is eating and is active!

A loud tummy means the intestines are moving, which is very good. She  likely has some gas. You can give her 1 ml simethicone baby gas drops once per hour for 3 hours, to help will that. (Simethicone is not absorbed into the body, it stays in the GI canal until it gets pooped out. It doesnt interact…[Read more]

Hi! I actually have a bunny, a 9 yr old named Brody, who’s had the exact same situation for almost a year now. Our local vet gave the eye drops, which helped for around a day, but even to this day he still releases cloudy liquid from his eyes. Honestly, and this just based on Brody it may differ for your bunny, as long as they continue to eat,…[Read more]

mods – would it be at all possible to modify or delete this thread? I hoped to edit it, but can’t find the option any longer.

On a side note – after posting this I thought, and realized maybe the odor issue could be because i’m using too much vinegar actually (using it every time i change her pan). i just changed her pan again and just used…[Read more]

Sorry for double posting, but I have a new question.

He started Baytril on 3/15. He got one dose that day due to timing. So by now he’s had 9 doses with another coming in 2 hours.

Prior to his vet visit, he took to randomly thumping every now and then while in his cage. This was totally new to him so I’m assuming it was due to the pain. Then…[Read more]

Also I should have added, she is spayed.

It’s not really known why some rabbits eat their own round poop. I’ve seen it in my bun when he was coming out of a bout of stasis. There is the theory that the bun needs the fiber thats in the round poop, or the good bacteria the round poop contains. (Some vets suggest feeding a poorly rabbit poop from a healthy rabbit, to help reestablish a…[Read more]
