That’s rough! But yes I agree it’s puberty and will get better. I think an enclosure is the best solution for now.

My Bertha was a very determined carpet chewer so could never roam unsupervised. What worked best for her was to cover any problem spots with heavy ceramic tiles, and give her grass mats and cardboard cat scratchers to chew instead.…[Read more]

I’d hold off on the buprenorphin then. It tends to make them very zoned out, which can be a bit scary to see, plus it slows the gut. It is good for severe pain, and should absolutely be given if the bun has severe pain, but it doesnt seem like Pinky is in any sort of severe pain. If I see my bun pressing his tummy and shifting positions often, I…[Read more]

Please don’t blame the bunny, as it is completely normal for rabbits to lose litter habits when they start to hit puberty, as well as when they are around rabbits that they aren’t bonded to. You have both of those things happening, so it’s pretty expected in my mind. (I also have the utmost empathy, as I am currently getting ready to attempt to…[Read more]

Since he isn’t a huge bun, you might try cutting back on his salad a bit (maybe go to half a cup twice a day) and see if that helps. But again, do monitor carefully because it’s important that he is eating something. You could also prob half the amount of pellets and see if that helps.

How’s he doing today? Is he eating a bit more?  The fact that he’s exploring and was fighting the syringe is a good sign.

To do the C-grip, you use your non-dominant hand to hold the bun’s head, so your fingers are under their jaw and your thumb is over the top of the skull. Then you would use your dominant hand to feed from the side. With this…[Read more]

Yeah she will have a enclosure just in two weeks maybe, we are reorganizing the flat haha.

But yes thank you for advice, I guess I just have to wait until she is spayed.

I’m glad it is nothing against me because sometimes it feels like it.

He is 3.5 pounds and has 1 cup of veggies in the morning with 1/4 cup of pellets (5am) and 1 cup of veggies in the evening(5pm).

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]
