Just spoke to our vet, and she thinks driving will be better, so sticking with driving!

You are right about control and being able to stop when needed. The vet brought up that getting stranded at an airport with the bunnies would be horrible, which I hadn’t considered. She’s going to set us up with extra sub q fluids, pain meds, etc. in case we…[Read more]

I would double-check that all four could be with you when flying. Regulations change often.

Re: driving, you have more control in that you can better manage if things are going wrong. Car transport is important I’m sure, but something that might be helpful is investing in a spacious rental you can set-up might make the ride easier?

So sorry you are going through this, hoping Muffin pulls through. & hope you found a big rabbit.

That’s great! Hoping it’s smooth sailing overnight!

Yay!! Like Dana said before, I wouldn’t be surprised if Theo tries to mount ongoing as part of their relationship (My 2 were bonded 7 months ago and the female humps the males head at least once a day). Lucky for them, the male doesn’t mind so I’ve never considered it a problem. (I did stop her the first few times but then let it go). He’ll…[Read more]

Theo has gotten a bit better – minimal chasing in the past 24 hours. I’ve pushed their stay in our shared living space long enough so I had to move them into my room/their permanent room at noon today, after vinegar spraying everything. There was some initial mounting but especially since it’s their sleepy time, they calmed down within 15 min or…[Read more]

That’s a tough call.  I feel the quick way may be better than days of driving, but probably depends on what issues you could run into at the airport or delays. I think in the cabin makes it feasible, do you have a carrier you could maybe put padding around to keep out some light and noise? If it were mine, I’d prefer the flying route but have…[Read more]

Good to know. I have one that seeks out anything forbidden so I’ll have to keep this in mind. I hope yours recover quickly!!

Oh goodness, maybe reach out the rescue? Maybe they know of a past adopter who would be willing to be a donor?

Hmmm, I think it could be either, but I’m leaning towards mushy cecotropes… it’s hard to tell from the pic though.

Some of my buns don’t like being brushed deeply, so when they are molting I put them on a table on a towel and do a really deep grooming probably twice a week. It seems like it’s better to just get as much hair as possible off in one go, rather than constantly pestering them with the comb.

They forgive me pretty fast since I give them a treat…[Read more]

Oh no! How stressful, and even more so with the conditions in Texas. 🙁

I’m glad they are starting to eat, hopefully that will keep pushing the bad stuff through!

Muffin may need a blood transfusion from another big rabbit today, we don’t know if Pinky is healthy enough to do it yet. We are trying to find a big rabbit even if we need to adopt or foster. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can find one fast?

Thank you guys. Pinky had brownish stuff on his nose and paws maybe a month ago, he has it again today so we’re taking him to the vet for the afternoon. I thought before it was just poop he layed in or from eating his cecotropes because liquid usually comes out of his scent glands when he does that. But we’re taking him just to make sure he’…[Read more]

I’m so sorry, what a horrible situation. 🙁  I hope they will get the infection under control, poor little Muffin. Stay strong, we’re here for you!

Many rabbits get a bit of stomach upset when they shed. It’s not really known why, but it may be that the immune defense is involved somehow. If you think he has difficulty getting gas out, you can give simethicone baby gas drops, 0.5 -1 ml. It is bunny safe and widely used worldwide in the rabbit community.

Since he is shedding now, I’d prefer…[Read more]
