Snowflake92 started the topic My beautiful bunny passed yesterday. in the forum RAINBOW BRIDGE 5 years, 7 months ago
She was only 10 months old. I’m beyond heartbroken. The last month she had been getting on and off sick, almost went into stasis twice and her condition kept going up and down. We spent weeks with the vets, having scans, x-rays, everything . Still couldn’t find the answer, so treated symptoms each time and brought her home. Just 5 days ago she was…[Read more]

They are definitely a good one! They use them at the rescue I volunteer at as well. I think people also really like how well the company communicates about the ingredients and science behind the recipe.

DanaNM replied to the topic What flooring do YOU use? And opinions needed in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 7 months ago
So I just got this sheet vinyl that is like mock-wood paneling, and it’s a bit textured (it was also the cheapest one from the hardware store!). The buns don’t seem to have any trouble walking or running on it!
But adding some carpets and rugs that don’t slide should help!
I’ve also used that indoor/outdoor carpet that comes in rolls and is very…[Read more]

They are planning to neuter but prob not until he’s 2. And yeah I think they were thinking neutering would be this magic bullet that would calm him down but it won’t be.
Cali was trained by someone else. One option could be to see if one of his hunting friends could help, but I know they all use e-collars. I am not totally against e-collars, but…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Any tips on cleaning pee stained feet? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago
You should never give rabbits baths, so he is rightfully terrified of them. No rabbits should get baths, unless for medical purposes, and even in those cases, it is not a “bath” but a shallow water pan of some sort in small target areas.
Your rabbit will do a good job cleaning up the stains himself, so you don’t need to worry! If you do feel…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic What flooring do YOU use? And opinions needed in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 7 months ago
Any flooring you don’t want chewed needs to be pretty flush with the floor and walls (end to end). If it’s in an enclosure, the flooring can’t be pickable at the corners/borders, and if it’s a room, it needs to go wall to wall with no gaps.
When push comes to shove, eventually a rabbit will walk on slippery floors if given no other option. If you…[Read more]

Wick oh no!! Glad it turned out alright. Yeah, maybe it depends on how resistant the issue is to the penicillin. Thanks for the info!
DanaNM Aw that’s good they don’t really mind it. Yeah I’d probably need some practice first lol. And yeah just talking about it just in case I have to do it. :/ Thank you!

Quincy is now trying to tear apart the mat that I gave her AND chew the edges of the vinyl when I let her out so I definitely don’t see this setup working long term.

I’m interested in hearing what flooring everyone uses for their buns, both in their “cages”/enclosures, and outside of it where they exercise or free roam.
My situation right now is that I have carpet in the bunny room, and have always used a rug for their enclosure area. However I just bought some sheet vinyl and laid it down and the bunni…[Read more]

Hazel replied to the topic January Chat! in the forum THE LOUNGE 5 years, 7 months ago
Well maybe sending him to a professional trainer might be the thing to do then. Are they planning to get him neutered? That might help him calm down a bit too (although I can’t say that I noticed much of a difference in behavior with Otis after his neuter). Was Cali trained by someone else?

Thank you for the update! Great news!
It really is a good sign when they’re squirmy 😄
Of course Juliet can have Benebac if she loves it. Its a healthy treat!

My bunny’s front paws are stained with pee 😓. I’m not too concerned about the staining because I’m sure it’ll grow out once he starts shedding fur, but I do want to make sure it’s clean. He’s absolutely terrified of baths so thats a big no. Do I just wipe his paws with a wet towel then?

Just an update on Sebastian:
He’s doing so much better! Definitely on the road to recovery. He’s eating, drinking, and eating his hay like he used to. He’s taking his treats as well. One tell-tale sign that I know that he’s feeling better is that he’s fighting us to take his meds! On the day we got home, he took them with no problem. Now, he’s…[Read more]

Thank you guys! I hope I don’t sound too dumb lol. It just seems like it’s the #1 brand for pellets for a lot of people. I’ll look at the link you posted. Thank you. 🙂

I don’t know if they are the “healthiest”, but they are a better quality pellet. They a pretty popular around here too.

DanaNM replied to the topic Oxbow adult pellets in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago
I’m not familiar with the Martin brand, but Oxbow adult essentials is a very good food, definitely “tried and tested” by many here on the forum. If you find in your elimination diet that the pellets you are currently feeding seem to be the problem, then it might be worth trying a different brand, such as Oxbow.
