Bam I’m not sure about switching positions often, but he does do that stretch sometimes and presses his belly on the floor a bit. I told the vet about it, though.
He eats all his meds off a spoon and his critical care. The vet advised 6.5tbsp of critical care a day for him. It’s harder to get him to eat it during the day, he eats it better in the…[Read more]

She has hit puberty, so what you see is the effects of raging hormones. It’s nothing personal against you and it’s nothing that can be disciplined away.

Could you make her a (temporary) enclosure? Until she is spayed and has healed, an enclosure + supervised play time could perhaps work better for you. Many of us want to give our buns free roam,…[Read more]

If he shifts position often, and if you see him “stretching”, like a human who is doing a pushup but cant keep his back straight, then my guess would be gas pain/discomfort. How is his appetite?

Flopping is often a sign of relaxation and happiness, but practically all rabbit behavior must be interpreted in context.

Aww thank you ! XD.

He has maintained 4 Lbs for the last 6 years.

He is fuzzier and most of the pictures, when he was younger I frequently trimmed his fur (not shaved). He is indoors only , but when I am outside gardening , I do have him and his mate (Flemish Giant Named Michelle) outside with me. During the summers I do trim his fur around his…[Read more]

Thank you guys. I really wanted to leave syringe feeding as the last thing to try because it’s so stressful, but the vet was also concerned he would get sick with no food going through him. And yeah the stress is why we stopped after only a few mL. The vet also had to wrap him up and syringe it to him.

Yeah I didn’t want him to be held either but…[Read more]

Thank you everybody for the answers, is soo good to see so many bunny lovers helpeing each other 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Lionhead fur type can vary a lot! From these pictures, I would say he’s probably a lionhead. He has the telltale mane and beard of a lionhead. He’s just more fuzzy looking (as opposed to wispy).

With hay it should smell fresh (not musty) and have no signs of mold. Other than that you are good to go, as long as it’s a grass hay. 🙂 Rabbits and horses have very similar digestive tracts, so things that are good for horses are usually good for rabbits.

Agree with LBJ10, more stress is prob not going to help at this point. A calm, quiet, and small-ish space will help.

I will say that if you do need to syringe again (like if he fully stops eating or pooping), I wouldn’t recommend holding him, as that contributes to it being stressful. My preferred way (and they way my vet showed me) is to put the…[Read more]

Its a mini-bale that I can fit inside a tub in my garage!

I wouldn’t worry too much about hiccups. They are common, especially in young bunnies.

It’s just laziness, really. LOL
