I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so horrible when they are so young. 🙁

It’s clear he was very loved and had an amazing life with you, short though it was. And that’s so wonderful that he inspired you to become a vet to help other bunnies. <3

((((Binky free Cotton)))

I second palm plates!

What types of greens have you tried? Fragrant herbs like cilantro and parsley are usually very popular. Dandelion or fresh grass is also usually a huge hit. You could try growing wheat grass/cat grass, I bet she would love that, even as an occasional treat.

Greens are not strictly necessary, as the vets have said, and some bunnies actually are…[Read more]

I was also going to suggest memory foam bath mats. I think some people also will just faux shearling rugs, and those beds that are meant to be used in dog crates.

Putting down some fleece blanket or towels so that they are bunched up will also help, as the uneven surface takes pressure off the heel.

You’ll want to keep an eye on things for…[Read more]

I second Wick’s suggestion about food spacing, as well as trying a different hay type or source. I normally get hay by the bale, and when I was traveling recently I had to get some pet-store bagged hay (from a reputable brand) that looked great to my eye, but all my spoiled buns turned their nose up at it.

Oh wow! Poor little guy, that’s so wonderful that you rescued him. I hope they other bunnies were taken to a shelter and not something worse.

Very interesting!

Regarding Winnie’s behavior change, it’s great that you are seeing positive changes. That might shift a bit when Leo hit’s puberty, but hopefully not. I don’t think she feels threatened. She could be smelling Leo on you and wanting to check that out. She also could be comforted by the presence of another rabbit around,…[Read more]

Hi there,

There are definitely some hormonal fluctuations for the few weeks post-neuter that can make buns extra crazy.

As for the rug digging, does he have any safe alternatives to chew and dig at instead? My diggers really like cardboard cat scratchers, paper mats, and sea grass mats. Phone books and boxes stuffed with shredded paper can also…[Read more]

Oh bunnytowne, hello! 👋🏼

It’s very nice to hear from you. I think you did tell us you got a cat after Cotton passed. What is it’s name?

I do hope you know, you can visit & post here as much as you like even if you no longer have a bunny. 🙂

I have 3 buns now. One single boy and a pair. They’re all seniors. 🥰

I’m also bun sitting 5 others.…[Read more]

Aww sorry to hear about Wick. Sending good vibes that he heals quickly.

Hi! That’s him at around 4 months old and he’s not a dwarf breed he is just a holland lop:)

I agree with LBJ. Chlorfeniramine is antihistamine. Its bunny safe and it is fast-acting (within hours). If your bun is still having these breathing sounds, it indicates that this is not about an allergy.

One possibility is that your bun has a chronic thickening of the nadal mucosa, due to a long-standing sinus infection. This would take a long…[Read more]

Hi Bunnytowne! Great to see you here again!

I hope you and your kitty are well! Covid really is a pain, thank goodness for pets. I think they help keep us sane 😃

I know this is about cats vs. rabbits, but I grew up with at least 4 dogs in the house and I feel like having our 1 rabbit has been the work of having 4 dogs lol.

The reason my husband and I decided to get a rabbit was that he grew up with cats and as I said, I grew up with dogs. One of our friends had a rabbit and we both loved it, so we thought…[Read more]

Yes! I always feel so guilty when I have to get up to go to the bathroom or need to move to get more comfortable lol. My husband loves that our rabbit, Winnie, does this because it remind him of his cat but it also reminds me of when my dogs would snuggle endlessly. Lap buns are the best!
