You are very welcome to ask many questions! 🙂

The difference between fresh vegetables and CC is that fresh veg is low in calories and protein and also comparatively low in fiber. Its absolutely great that he eats a lot of veg by himself, but it may not be enough to sustain his caloric needs. This means he could lose weight, which would be…[Read more]

I’m back again with another question if that’s ok! Herman is eating a reasonable amount of greens – celery, fennel, parsley and mâche (I think that’s lambs quarters in English?) and nibbles on hay. I don’t feel like it’s enough but he absolutely hates CC! I’ve 2 different flavours the aniseed one and the fine ground fruit one and he hates them b…[Read more]

Both these poops are normal and good. The shape is very good and doesnt indicate any gut slowdown. If the bunny gut slows down, you tend to see misshapen  poop and poop stuck together.

Darker poop can for example occur if the bun has been eating a bit extra fresh greens, because fresh greens contain a lot of moisture. Any change in diet will…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestions.

It’s a basic Midwest 36” high pen with door. There nothing blocking her view at all where we’ve placed it, so she can see us quite well.

@kanin I found some that look like they do a nice job of recreating pets in needle felt, not plushies yet. I was…[Read more]

Star grass? Is that similar to Bermuda grass? Yeah, not the most palatable.

I saw somewhere that orchard grass is called cocksfoot in Australia… no clue if that’s true or not. Anyway, perhaps orchard grass is just called something else there?

How big is the pen? Can she see you walking around, etc. when she’s in it? I agree with the others that blocking her view might calm her down at bit.

the poops are gone so I’m thinking she maybe ate them?? they weren’t cecotropes, or at least didn’t look like them because they were larger than the ones I’ve seen and smooth, but they were the same color and texture.

Thank you so very much! I’m so thankful for my vet who loves rabbits as much as I do 🙂
