Hello, thanks for the advice. Now that I think about it, we do have a vet appointment next week so I could ask one of the vets then.

Sweet! Would love to hear what ends up working best for you 🙂

I like to use 6 mL syringes because I find the larger ones to be a bit unwieldy, but I like the 10 mL ones too.

I know when I tried a really large one that I got from a pet store it was hard not to squirt too much food out at once. 1 mL ones work fine for some people, but I would find it annoying to have to fill up so many to get the right amount…[Read more]

There have been cases of fur mites that were resistant to Revolution (selamectin), so that Advantage was used instead.

If your vet didn’t find any mites and Revolution didn’t make a difference, it could be that the dandruff doesn’t come from mites. Some buns get dandruff-like flakes on their ears. You can brush them off with a very soft baby…[Read more]

Thanks guys! That’s interesting, I didn’t know about any of that. What does the agouti colour mean for his breed? (if that’s what it is).

I think he looks like the American Chinchilla but I don’t think he’s big enough to be a giant chinchilla? Could he be a mix of a Flemish giant and chinchilla? Or is a chinchilla rabbit just the name of a colo…[Read more]

She looks beautiful! She must’ve been so, so soft.

How lucky she was to have all that love in her life. 💗 You paint a lovely picture of her with your words. She was clearly free to express her true personality, full of sass and sweetness!

(I may have been a bit unclear in my previous post, what I meant about why we post in the RB-section was in…[Read more]

It is extremely difficult to provide information on healthy weight online. There are weight estimations based on breed, we never really know what combo of breeds are in our rabbits that will make them stray/adhere to those estimates. Also, 4mo is really in the prime of growing, so it’s hard to tell.

Here is a diagram that can be helpful for a…[Read more]

This is tough. A part of me says, well, if it’s dry and your rabbits aren’t intimately licking the tiles day in and out, it’s probably fine. That being said, maybe there are fumes that they can smell that we can’t, and is there any potential consequences to walking on it daily, in terms of adverse contact reactions.

I recommend talking to a rabbit vet.

1. I can barely afford the surgery and exam, should I go for bloodwork and X-Rays as well just to make sure he has a clean bill of health? 

• Unsure of your finances, but you can ask local rabbit rescues if they know of especially low-cost places for neutering/spaying. Typically, rescues go there because of their funds. Also, if it’s a place t…

Of all the souls I’ve known, she was easily the most pure and loving. I’ve suffered with suicidal depression since before I was even a teenager, I’m nearly 40 now. When the world felt like too much I would cuddle her and just cry into her velvet fur. She always responded with kisses. Her tooth purrs as I stroked her cheeks made me feel like I…[Read more]

It is a fun thread! My bun often jumps into my lap to energetically chin my hands and face, but he doesnt settle down for pets. For pets, he prefers to lie next to me on the sofa.

The most important features of a good feeding syringe is the size (diameter and lenght) of the tip.

The problem with many syringes is that the tip is tiny and narrow. This is common with 2.5 and 5 ml syringes. With a 1 ml syringe, you can often saw off the tip with a serrated bread knife, and fit the whole diameter of the syringe into the bun’s…[Read more]

Obviously I don’t have personal experience with vets in the area (I’m in Australia! ) but I have over the years, learnt where to look for recommendations from owners.

If you havent already, I suggest you research Dr Daniel Foreman  at Spring Creek Animal Hospital in Jackson, Wy. He was recommended on an old email list of bunny owners. I look…[Read more]

Hi wmiller! This is a VERY old thread. We encourage people not to respond to old threads because it can cause confusion, especially if someone is looking for help. Since this thread is more “fun”, I’m going to leave it open for now. It’s great that your bunny willingly got into your lap. Most people aren’t so lucky. 😉
