There’s no rush, health wise. Most, if not all, intact buns will get spring fever in early spring, when the light starts to return. It tends to subside, at least to an extent. It sounds great that he isnt spraying now! Spraying is pretty much the least nice thing about bunny puberty.

And I also tried putting a plushie but he had no interest in it 😅

Hi, thank you all for the replies.

I haven’t got him fixed yet as all my vets are booked till June, but he has stopped with the circling and honking and is currently 6 months old. I’m very happy he isn’t spraying at all and is litter-trained😪 Moreover, he doesn’t show any aggression or destructiveness so I hope it stays like this. I still do want…[Read more]

I’m going to try the nic grids. I was thinking of getting a kiddie pool and to add clean soil(nothing added) or to use eco earth. Does anyone know if it can be toxic/enjoyable to bunnies? I want to get her a stuffed animal too🥺 I was also thinking of getting a very light misting bottle for when she does something bad. (Like a light light mist, n…[Read more]

Are you using the add media feature to upload photos?

Hmm… what you’re describing is very interesting and puzzling. I’m glad your bunny is feeling better now. I would be concerned though too if his stomach filled up with gas like that. Bloat is not a common condition, so it probably wouldn’t hurt to take another x-ray. Perhaps the vet can…[Read more]

I’m having a hard time posting a picture of his X-ray when he had surgery, but what he had was indeed a true bloat, his stomach was about four times bigger than the normal size

I’ve read that article, it’s really good, but the thing is that when he had it, his stomach felt really soft, just slightly bloated, by the end of the day at the clinic it looked liked he had swallowed a balloon and his stomach still felt pretty soft, he also looked really relaxed, laying stretched out and everything so this is very confusing to…[Read more]

He’s beautiful! And lucky to have such a wonderful, loving owner. 🙂

It doesn’t look real bad. Perhaps some memory foam bath mats would help cushion his foot.

This article gives a good description of bloat: http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_diseases/Bloat/Bloat_ena.htm

True bloat is when the stomach rapidly fills with gas and becomes distended. The stomach will feel hard. The condition is extremely painful and rabbits are often euthanized when suffering from it. I’m not sure what the problem was with your bunny the first time around, but a soft belly doesn’t match up with true bloat. When it’s “just gas”, there…[Read more]

I was going to suggest a fresh grass. Wheatgrass (aka cat grass) is perfect. For dry hay, you could try orchard grass. It tends to be softer.
