Congrats and welcome home Lucy! Don’t panic if you see a lot of marking when you first bring her home. Having an un-altered bunny in the house tends to make everyone throw their box habits out the window!

As for spaying, the most important things are to have pain meds sent home, as well as supplies for syringe feeding in case she doesn’t want to…[Read more]

Most people switch anywhere between 6 months and a year. If he’s a small breed bunny you would be fine to switch at 6 months, you would just want to still give a bit more pellets than you would to an adult, and do the transition slowly to avoid tummy upsets.

Thank you!

You are very helpful.

at what month do you recommend switching to adult pellets? 8 months maybe?

I’m applying the cream with cotton fiock,tho i was applying a bit more cream than was told just to be sure….

Hi there, sorry you are dealing with this, abscesses are so stressful. I had a bun with a jaw abscess a few years ago.

The best course of action is to treat it aggressively, so that usually means surgically cleaning out the abscess and giving antibiotic injections (usually penicillin) for several weeks.  Rabbit abscesses are full of a very thick…[Read more]

You’re welcome!

This helps a ton, thanks for all of the help!

Thanks for filling out the template!

So, I think my first move would be to do some cage swaps, or at least litter box swaps, and see how that goes. In my experience the mixing of scents is really what helps, and they don’t fully get that when they just live side by side (even though the settling in is great too).  I’ve noticed that sometimes…[Read more]

It sounds like she is reacting to the smell of the new bunny? And possibly having hormone fluctuations relating to being spayed, depending on the timing?

Female rabbits can go through a post-spay “craze” around 4-6 weeks after spaying, but it should calm down after that.

Both things should get better with time. Rabbits that were overly caged can…[Read more]

Ah, it sounds like she could have some extra cecotropes? They are a special type of poop that the bunny eats to get extra nutrients. It’s pretty normal for young bunnies to produce some extras since they are on a richer diet. If there are just a few each day then it’s nothing to be concerned about. If she starts producing lots of them, or they are…[Read more]

There are 2 options with an injury like this: Surgery to remove the torn piece or simply allow it to heal. If you simply allow it to heal, there will likely be some protrusion for the rest of his life. I can see why your vet prescribed the Tobradex. That ointment contains tobramycin (antibiotic) and dexamethasone (steroid), which will prevent…[Read more]

Thank you!
