Activity

Update: I’ve been giving Fresno lavender and chamomile in his pellets for almost 2 weeks and unfortunately they haven’t helped to relax him. I guess all I can do is hope that he’ll settle down more with time. And LOL LBJ, good to know it’s not just mine that seem scared of the dark! 😂

Perhaps she was just seemed more energetic because she was in the new place. Then she calmed down a bit and is now at her baseline? It does sound like she is more mellow and perhaps her wool makes her a bit too warm.

JG has a good point. I would be more concerned with swollen genitals. If the sac is somewhat swollen, it isn’t the end of the world. They can fill with fluid a bit. Just as long as they aren’t like golf balls or something. Are you worried about the dried blood? It looks like it’s been there awhile.

Rabbits are masters at not doing something… until they do. 😉

I’m going with the others on this. I think your chances are good that it will be OK. But definitely keep an eye just in case.

Thank you all so much for your help🥺 You’ve all made me feel a bit more relieved. I’m going to weigh Jasmine now and give it a week. Supposedly rabbits gain approximately 0.056 pounds during their first week of pregnancy. I think everything is probably okay? Unfortunately the rabbit vets in my area are inexperienced at best and irresponsible at…[Read more]

I agree a vet consultation is needed. I realise it is awful timing with it being New Years and with pandemic restrictions. Perhaps share photo with them first, as suggested?

It is not unusual for the sac to swell with fluid post-neuter. Had you noticed that initially or is that only evident now? Or is it the blood that is concerning you…[Read more]

Thanks 🙂 The breeder suggested we waited until 6 months to feed veggies and treats.

Ok great! 🙂 It’s normal for babies to have some extra cecotropes but just wanted to double check. Sometimes new bunny owners get very excited and overdo it on the treats 😉

Yeah it’s a bit hard to tell from the photo as it’s showing up very small (when you add media, there is an option to change the size of the pic when you insert it). I would send the pic to your vet and see what they think. Do the sacs feel like they are filled with fluid or swollen?

Thank you both! I actually just got the poop out a few minutes ago by holding him with one hand. The poop isn’t melty or anything, it’s just sticky. He eats baby pellets and a mix of alfalfa and timothy hay.

I would call the vet who did the neuter as soon as you can and let them know what you see. It’s a small image, but it looks like a gash has been open? It’s recommended that after a neuter, the rabbit should be given some restricted space and discouraged to zoomie or do a lot of activity because it can strain the surgical site for at least one…[Read more]

Agree with Bam, try not to trance if you can.

What is his diet like? Just asking in case he’s getting something that’s causing too many cecotropes.

I definitely think she is more relaxed in general than the male (the male is high energy).  It’s tough because I don’t know what her personality was at the shelter or beforehand, but I kind of took her first few days as her general “baseline” in terms of energy level.  Already, she tends to lounge all day and even in the morning/evening to a d…[Read more]

It can be very stressful for a bun to be tranced, so its best avoided.

Its better if you can sit him in your lap and massage cornstarch into the poopy fur with one hand. Some of the poop can be picked out when it has absorbed the starch, the rest you can probably brush out. You can also cut off pieces of poop fur, but take care not to cut too…[Read more]
