Hi guys,

My rabbit, Phil, is 10 months old. She is spayed.

Prior to her spay, she would spend hours every day organising her blanket and any sheets or towels that were drying on radiators/chairs.

This stopped after her spay. However, in the last 2/3 weeks, she has started this behaviour again. It’s quite excessive. She can do it for well in…[Read more]

All rabbits hate being picked up. I wouldn’t try to force him to accept it, as Bam said, it’s very stressful for them and there are better ways to deal with handling them if the situation demands it. So there’s really no need to put them through that. Most likely you would just end up eroding his trust in you.

Ivermectin can also be given orally, if the spot on treatment doesn’t quite cut it your vet could try that. Worked like a charm for my bun. 🙂

Thank you! Well she should molt in spring so I don’t know about that. And maybe she eats a little less hay than before.

Okay so i hope everything is alright as long as she is running happily haha
Bam replied to the topic Rabbit poop in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago

It does sound like she is alright. Is she about to go into a molt? Is she eating a good amount of hay? A drop in hay consumption can indicate a dental problem.

Any change in diet, even a small one, can make changes in the shape, color, consistency and amount of poop. As long as the majority of the poops are a good size, it’s just something to…[Read more]

Practically all rabbits hate being picked up. Most also heartily dislike being held. You know this already, but I do think all your bun needs is more time. It is of course important that he associates you with nice things like food and treats and for example unconditional headrubs.

A bun that has a bonded partner tends to be less demanding of…[Read more]

If there are scabs, I would definitely separate. No fighting back can be an indication of resignation to bullying, which can’t be good for a rabbit’s well-being.

I don’t recall the history between these buns, but it sounds like going through a bonding process period again is needed.

Lately I’ve seen some of Smokey and OB’s fur around, and have sometimes caught Silver nipping them. 🙁 When I was feeling them both to see if there were any wounds, I found a few scabs on OB, and some patches where new fur is growing on Smokey. I don’t think either Smokey or OB would fight back, but I’m worried about the way Silver is treating…[Read more]

I have had my a 3 year old male, neutered bunny for a couple months now. I rescued him from a terrible situation where he was starved, and kept in a hutch. I don’t know much about his past home other than that, but I suspect something traumatic happened to him, because although he has gotten better, he is very cautious and will run away if he h…[Read more]

It does sound very promising! Yay for her showing good energy, and yay for lots of poop!
Bam replied to the topic Booster Vaccines in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago

Fingers very crossed!

My bun had also had the RVHD2 as well as the Myxo-RHD, so he was good to go with the Myxo-RHD Plus last fall. He isnt side effect prone, but he is 8 years old.

Hi I was wondering if anyone could advise me. We have just bought a giant Rex bunny for our 9 year old. I want him to be a house bunny so am trying to litter train him. He is now completely clean in his bed and on the floor but if he jumps on the sofa he instantly poos and Wees. I want him to eventually have free run of our house and he is only 9…[Read more]

SpicyBons replied to the topic Booster Vaccines in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago

Thank you! I’ll contact some other clinics in the area and see what they think. Might even call up my vet for his opinion on the matter.

And thanks so much, fortunately she was vaccinated for Myxo-RHD last Feb and received the RHVD2 vaccine in May so she should be suitable for the dual shot. We’ll see what they think, they might decide to keep…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your amazing reply 🙂

She has now had 4 doses of cisapride, and 3 metacam and quite literally was tripping over my feet this morning. Not to mention her litter box was full of poop!!

I’m hopeful this is a sign things are heading back the right direction. Her stomach is still slightly hard so I’ll try the simethicone and…[Read more]
