Hi Ann! Welcome to BB! This thread is very old, I doubt the OP is still around. My guess is that they joined the forum to ask this question since they only ever posted 7 times. I would suggest starting you own thread since digging up old threads just causes confusion. If you need help doing that, let me know. I’m going to lock this thread now so…[Read more]

Are they any updates about your bunnies nipping problem? I’m dealing with a very similar problem. During the bonding session two males all fixed, months of introducing, fence to fence all that stuff. Now I’m in the step they hanging out without a fence, eating together, sharing toys. Lately one bunny lays down and the other is trying to bite the…[Read more]

We certainly want to help you. I’m just concerned because rehoming Rain would not solve what you are going through. What I mean is, you feel guilty and feel like rehoming her would give her the life she deserves. That may or may not be true. My guess is that this neglect is probably not as bad as you perceive it to be. Is she safe? Is she fed?…[Read more]

Thank you both for the very kind and considerate responses. At the moment no, I do not have any chances of getting help for depression or anxiety, nor have I ever sought professional help. My parents are very much convinced that there is nothing mentally wrong with me and that it is an adolescent phase. It has been constant issues for 3ish years…[Read more]

Oh, I’m so sorry you’re going through this! <3

The pandemic has taken a huuuuuuge toll on all of us, so I have a lot of empathy right now. Know that it’s not just you going through this, that there are others experiencing the same things, that there are people who understand and can help you. 🙂 If you ever need someone to talk to, for advice, a…[Read more]

I have the same issue with Mila. She has had a few episodes and each time it’s more frequent. We have spent well over 5k dollars only on emergency vet bills. She is now on simethicone, metaclopramide and another medicine daily for life and she still gets the go stasis issue.

indeed she is sick right now and it’s very hard for me to keep spe…[Read more]

Before we discuss rehoming Rain… you said that you don’t see anything changing anytime soon. Are you able to see someone about your depression and anxiety?

Rabbits can be given Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or Chlorphenamine. However, it seems Chlorphenamine is difficult to find as a syrup (children’s formula). I have experience with using Benadryl, but like Wick, it wasn’t for allergies.

Thank you for the reply! It is quite frustrating. Unfortunately if I do give him a head pat he’ll usually sprint away and not find it very soothing. I do give him a treat each time afterwards which he knows to expect now. Every once in a while if he’s relaxed enough I can give him a scritch for a second or two so maybe I’ll try scheduling his…[Read more]

Hello! That sounds quite frustrating. One question: have you tried doing the whole head pat and pick up then treat thing? Because I know that that’s troubling, making you feel like your the only one in the world who has this issue, but your probably not, and also if it works, then it’s worth it! 🙂 Sorry, if I can’t be of much help! But wish you luck! 🙂

Phone books (at least where I live) have soy-based ink, so they are safe. I don’t know if this is true of all phone books, this is just my experience. One thing is for sure, they aren’t as easy to come by nowadays. As for the cat scratchers, catnip is perfectly safe.

One of my rabbits, Fable, is being treated with an antihistamine. I wrote about it here: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/childrens-benadryl-tx/

Based on my (abundant) experience with long-term antibiotics for URIs with my other rabbit Wick, both myself and my vet decided not to go with trying antibiotics because Fable’s symptoms are not…[Read more]
