The nature center in town had a bunny that looked like a cottontail rabbit (of course it wasn’t because you can’t keep them in cages).

It was there as a demonstration for the schoolkids who took field trips there.

One time I took my daughter there and he was gone.

The workers said he was doing fine the evening before and the next day they came…[Read more]

Only upon cleaning up her room today that I noticed that his poop was uncharacteristically smaller than normal. In hindsight I now recall it had been that way a few days prior as well. I guess at the time it didn’t strike me as anything weird. But now in looking back I’d be easily convinced that this is connected to his death. Upon doing some min…[Read more]

I commented on the wrong post. Sorry for this replay.

You said you never noticed a dewlap on her before the spay? I would take her to the vet. Can you feel the dewlap and make sure its just malleable fat like mentioned above? If it’s hard then it could be something more worrisome especially if it just formed after the surgery. Also is it possible to include a picture of the area?

I would wait a while, it’s good you want to make sure Lilly has the best life possible, but you don’t have to rush to get her a companion right away. Maybe by the time Lilly is old enough and well recovered from her spay you can reapply for that adoption application and show you have much more experience with rabbits! You won’t have to buy another…[Read more]

My Rain passed a year ago, and one day I went out to the yard next to her grave/memorial area. There’s a little table we keep near it that’s covered in dust because nothings touched it in so long. That day I looked over and noticed rabbit pawprints in the dust, I knew they were a rabbit’s because of two small front ones and big long back ones, and…[Read more]

So sorry for your loss.  Beautiful bun.  Hugs to y’all.

Coming home one day I heard my first Pug, Ali, barking along with the other dogs as we approached the door.  She had been gone about a week.

I also felt my Kira press her back up against mine as I lay on my side in bed.  That was her place to sleep, us back to back.  She had also been gone about a week.

Hugs to you and your mom.

I’m so sorry for your loss, he was an adorable bun. 🙁

I think it’s very very unlikely that the smoke or cleaning caused this, so please don’t beat yourself up. Very sadly sometimes buns die very suddenly with very few warning signs. Often the more sudden, the less that can be done to help them.

Did you notice whether he ate his dinner normally…[Read more]

I echo Dana’s sentiment — do not follow pet store recommendations. Employees may be friendly, but their knowledge about rabbit care and their standards are typically much different. Many pet stores employees are told general things about care, like rabbits do better in pairs, but don’t know the important details, like the need for them to be…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your family’s loss. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to know for certain what may have caused the death without an autopsy. Rabbit lungs are more sensitive, but in most circumstances, consequential smoke from cooking and a generally well ventilated home typically do not cause imminent respiratory concerns. I lived in…[Read more]
