TheWarren replied to the topic Rabbit is suddenly not using the litterbox in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago
Sorry for my long text but I forgot to add that I have also tried keeping him in just the pen in order to decrease space and re-establish one corner, but it didn’t work. He also is somewhat aggressive towards people who invade his space, but he doesn’t spray like territorial markings, just normal pee.

I’ve tried pretty much everything available in the grocery store here: 5 or 6 types of lettuce, cilantro, parsley, basil, dandelion (just last couple days but she has stopped even coming near them, haha), kale, spinach, and any other random thing I’ve tried for Elmer like Carrot tops, mint, chard…etc. Last summer my friend grew broccoli and…[Read more]

Hello everyone. I have an almost nine year old senior bun named Hopper. He has been neutered for 6 years, and was moved into my room permanently after living in a hutch. I know it wasn’t ideal, but now he is spoiled and is given free roam in a decently sized bedroom during the day. At night he has to stay in a cage, but it is a large exercise p…[Read more]

We’re going to get Blossom spayed soon (bloodwork will be done first to make sure she’ll be a good candidate for surgery) and I want to know what some of your tips for spaying. We will be getting her back that night as well so tips on that will be appreciated as well!

Ugh, this is so sad. I hope they are in a better place now, but I don’t have a good feeling about it. 🙁 Could you ask them what they did with the others?
I’m glad you were able to rescue the little boy. Poor thing, all those scars on his face and his ear. It makes me sick how some people treat their animals. Why even keep them if they don’t…[Read more]

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

DanaNM replied to the topic Rabbit who won't eat veggies in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago
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]

DanaNM replied to the topic Sore hock or callous? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago
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]

DanaNM replied to the topic Any tips on encouraging hay eating? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago
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.

DanaNM replied to the topic Nothing crazy…just curious… in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 7 months ago
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]

DanaNM replied to the topic Recently neutered bun acting different in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago
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]

Hello I’m new to this forum group.
I have 2 boys Charlie and Leo that live outside. I have a problem that they have started banging at night. I’ve been watching them on a camera I have and they seem very chilled and relax and then randomly one of them starts banging. It happens at different times of the night, some times it’s one or 2 bangs then…[Read more] - Load More
