Thank you for the link!! 🙂

So, OB’s poops have been a bit more drier lately. What really concerned me, was that I just found some wet poops of hers. One piece had some bunched up really wet poo attached to it. It looked kind of similar to one of the pictures in that guide, only, there wasn’t as much, and it was attached to a normal one. Well,…[Read more]

He’s doing much better today. He’s had a few doses of gabapentin and just got his first dose of metacam. He’s back to eating his hay and accepted his favorite treats today which is definitely a good sign because he refused them yesterday. I’ve been giving him some critical care as a precaution along with a little probiotic just to be sure.

I am not saying rabbits cannot be ESA, but in general, their demeanor does not “fit” what someone typically needs when imagining interactions with an ESA. I very much agree with Dana that establishing a relationship over time with a nervous rabbit is such a rewarding experience, but that being said, it does not mean you will be able to foster a…[Read more]

All I know about his past is he was raised in a wire bottom hutch with many other rabbits. He was free, because he was fighting all the other rabbits. I’ve seen no agression! He’s got a spot he “staked out” that I furnished with a bankie and a hide n some toys. He spends more time out there than in his main house.

Oh, no no no, he LOVES to be petted. He especially loves butt rubs. Lol He comes when I call him (unless he’s grooming).

My issue, really, is to get him to cuddle, like BE IN MY ARMS to do things like clip his nails.

I know this is a task I must do, but I don’t want to shatter our trust.

Technically his “house” is just a cardboard box that has…[Read more]

So, not all rabbits are cuddle buns, but I think you could for sure improve your relationship. I think shy buns can be some of the most rewarding, because you really feel like you earn their trust. I’m sure he’s very cute so I don’t blame you for “overloving”. 😉 How long have you had him?  Some bunnies take a while to open up. Members here have…[Read more]

This is a safe space LOL

OK so I saw this think where people made felted crafts out of cat fur… it sounded gross to me but it actually was kind of cute in the end…. they made tiny cat finger puppets out of their cats fur. Perhaps you could do something like that?? If you look up “cat fur felting” you get lots of results!

Yes when things go badly in a new location, it usually means you just moved too quickly. So going back to the place where things went well and extending the time usually does the trick!

I have had the exact same issues! We started in the bathroom and bonding went great, lots of mutual grooming, flops and snacking together. After several bathroom successes, we moved to the kitchen where we spent a few 1-2 hour stretches and again, did wonderfully. Then I tried allowing them to free roam together in the living room and within 5…[Read more]

You know what’s best for your buns. I don’t think there is shame in rehoming as long as you make sure she finds a good home.

The HRS has some tips for rehoming: https://rabbit.org/rabbit-center/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Rehome-handout.pdf

I recommend explaining the importance of spaying to whoever adopts her. You also might look into rescues in…[Read more]

I’m very sorry to hear this. I don’t have much to add to what Bam said, just wanted to send some vibes for Cookie. Abscesses are so hard to deal with. 🙁

Yep you should be all good to use that CC. Glad he started eating on his own. 🙂

For his recovering, keeping his area warm and quiet will help him. Keep up with the syringe feeding and medication schedule your vet recommends, but other than that try not to hover too much. You can also offer favorite greens to entice him to eat as well.
