Mange is less common, but can cause white-ish scales around the toes: http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/Skin_diseases/Parasitic/Mange/Sarcoptes.htm

And yes, it is contagious to other animals and people. Are you able to have a vet take a look? If it’s mange, it needs to be treated with Ivermectin. Do not use anything containing fipronil (Frontline,…[Read more]

It seems to me that your bunny’s sudden change in behaviour has been caused by you rearranging your furniture. My bunny is very sensitive to any changes in my room, even me putting the chair or the shoes in a different place or leaving some clothes on the floor. When I come to think of it, he pretty much checks the whole place out almost every d…[Read more]

I am so sorry for your loss.  I okay ow how hard it is to lose someone you love so dearly.  Over time it will get easier.  I recently lost my baby so I know exactly what you are going through.  I am so sorry about your bunny!  It is so hard when you think that they will be ok because every other time they were.  I send hugs and nothing but good…[Read more]

I’m really grateful for the response. The page that LBJ10 linked looks really different from the ones with my rabbit. It’s hard, white, and really dry. I don’t think it’s ringworm.

But I will try your suggestion of cleaning the litter box more frequently before everything gets really soaked.

I can’t really find any other post online with the s…[Read more]

That’s great about the adoption and clean bill of health! Thanks for the update! 🙂

It depends on how big the box is, and whether your bun tends to pee in one corner or more dispersed. When I just had a solo bun, I would clean the box every other day. But if it looks like one spot is getting very saturated, you could scoop out the wet spots daily. Un-neutered bunny pee stinks more, so I would prob go for every day to keep odor…[Read more]

Yeah I agree, I don’t see a physical possibility for those poops to go through the plastic holes. And he also eats his cecals from the source. I just wonder how many days the bedding can have pee in it before changing it. Does everyone play it by ear or is it something to do once a week?

Alright thank you both so much! This makes me feel a bit better because Ive read so many different articles about this online that at this point I’m just stressing myself out. My plan is to steam clean the carpet in the room she was kept in and sanitize my x-pen and anything else she came in contact with 10% ammonia just to be cautious.

I’m sure the progress you make with her will really help her become more adoptable! Be careful though, that was my goal with Bonnie and we just fell in love with her. 🙂

Oh man, I feel that! I’ve feel like I’ve spent the last few months of my life just rearranging bunny pens! I have 2 pairs and moved twice since December. woof.

You’re welcome! It can get overwhelming and there is definitely some conflicting info out there.

Just to add my experience, I’ve used a variety of screens (knitting mesh more recently, as well as metal ones, both homemade and the kind BB sells) with no issues. Wire flooring or mesh flooring tends to be an issue when it’s all a bun has to stand on (such as in a wire floored hutch). I usually put a layer of hay over the top but not always. If…[Read more]
