I would use faux fur with caution. Depending on the type, the fur may shed more than you would like it to.

I don’t think your relationship was damaged necessarily. She sounds like a perfectly normal young bunny that is blossoming. 😉  She’s 3 months old, so I assume she isn’t spayed yet. As her hormones kick into high gear in the coming months, be prepared for more of this type of behavior.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be overly worried. A little bit of matting/tangling is to be expected in that area.

Red urine isn’t unusual, I wouldn’t be worried. The color isn’t always linked to veggies. Things like alfalfa can cause red urine as well.

I’m sorry to hear about Tilly. 🙁

To be honest, I would not move him. At least not yet. I think it’s helpful to keep the same routine when one of a pair passes away.

Sounds like discomfort to me. It looks like it’s been awhile since you posted this. Did you make it to the vet?

Are you able to “sit” on her? That’s what I do when I only have 2 hands. You sit on your knees and place bunny between your legs. Tuck you feet in so they can’t wiggle backwards. This makes it much easier to hold their head and insert the syringe in their mouth.

If it’s a small amount it’s fine and she can’t groom herself.  I dont think itd be disruptive enough to need a water rub.

That looks normal to me. Rabbits urine can vary in color and be perfectly healthy, there is a wabbit wiki page that explains in detail if you are interested.

Alright thank you Wick, and yes she has been shedding especially around her face which I’ve been trying to keep clean as much as possible. She won’t take gas drops or pain meds from the syringe or on treats, so I’m wondering if like dabbing small amounts on her feet will get her to ingest some since she is still grooming herself? I know that’…[Read more]

I cannot think of a time gas drops have been harmful, so I think simethicone is worth trying.  Poops that are stuck together or mishapen — are they potentially influenced by fur? Is Rain shedding? Fur digestion can lead to stomach blockage, which can explain the discomfort and lack of appetite, in which case yes, the emergency vet is the best…[Read more]

To add to that her stomach feels unusually hard on both sides and she keeps pressing her tummy to the ground. I want to try and get her to take gas drops but I’m worried if they can make it worse since she’s on an empty stomach?

Thank you all for the responses and suggestions, I will definitely look into talking to a school counselor. As of now Rain does have a consistently safe environment and plenty of time to roam. The issue with her diet is that she refuses to eat hay of any kind and its starting to take a toll on her body I think. She’ll eat her veggies, pellets a…[Read more]

Absolutely lovely to hear! Thank you for the update! ☺

It is a common area for some matting, but as long as its not dirty or wet, I dont think you need to worry.

It’s really great that you’re so observant!
