Activity

Thank you so much, a really appreciate,

she is doing well, in the morning her poop is soft and a little strange but then at night she is very active and happy and her poop looks solid but a little small, today she looks much better, she use to have some gas but that stop 2 days ago, the other problem that I have is that she is not eating hay,…[Read more]

What you describe is known as “necklace poop” or “string of pearl poop”. The “strings” are hair. Is your bun shedding? Does he eat a good amount of hay?

It’s good to brush the bun when it’s shedding, just so it doesn’t ingest too much hair when it cleans itself. If your bun eats fresh greens, you can serve them freshly rinsed and dripping wet,…[Read more]

It’s great she is wanting to eat now, you can let her eat and drink as much as she wants, especially encourage hay. Even offering extra wet greens can help with hydration.

Agree with others, it doesn’t look too bad. That said, alfalfa pellets and hay are one of the most concentrated sources of calcium for buns (a small scoop of alfalfa pellets more than meets a buns daily requirement for calcium). At 5 months you could start transitioning him to timothy hay for sure, as they only need one source of alfalfa while growing.

He will most likely be OK, since rabbits do chew up the weird things they eat and that’s not a huge amount… How is he doing today?

Best to just keep pushing hay and water on him as the vet said. You prob won’t see anything in his poop since they chew things up well. As long as he’s eating and pooping then I would just keep monitoring.

That must be a relief!

Hi there,

So I think once she appears healthy, you can start bonding! Before then, you might actually start swapping litter trays (when they are a bit dirty). The bacteria from the other bunnies can actually help get her gut flora healthier again. But if she doesn’t currently have weird poops or GI symptoms, then she probably is well on her way…[Read more]

How big is she? 1/2 cup of pellets is a lot. If you cut back a little on the evening serving of pellets, maybe she’d be more interested in eating hay during the night. Buns as a rule prefer pellets to hay, and will fill yp on pellets if they get the chance.

How do you serve the hay? Its good to serve hay near the litterbox so the bun can eat…[Read more]

The person who I got her from was giving my bunny timothy hay she gets like 1/4 or 1/2 cup of pellets she’s very used to pellets and doesn’t want to eat hay instead of hay she eats pellets and sometimes when she eats she’ll just stop eating I think she eats part by part

Do you know what type of hay the person you got her from were giving her?  Sometimes young buns get alfalfa hay, which is richer and a lot yummier than grass hay. If your bun is used to getting alfalfa hay, that could be why she isnt intetested in grass hay.

Is she getting pellets, and if so, how much does she get per day?

Thanks, yes I love his markings and especially his brown little tail 🙂

UPDATE: MoMo has finished her surgery yesterday afternoon and has finally come home this morning. They will be serperated for the next month.

so snuggly! Especially the last one in their house with the squishy faces.
