Thara replied to the topic fixing a broken bond in the forum BONDING 2 years ago
The intros are done in a fully neutral area, that gets deodorized each time so each time I do an intro the space doesn’t smell like either of them. I have considered giving them a full break but unfortunately, I have nowhere I can house them where they couldn’t see/hear or smell each other. the only relatives I have in town are my in-laws an…[Read more]

Yes, they had a full vet checkup twice this year. Blood work, the whole nine yards and I’m $500. poorer and have two very healthy all be it slightly fat bunnies. And I’m not sure how much closer I can monitor given I’m hovering over them the entire time during these new introductions. But these two can and do go from a normal expected in…[Read more]

last time I posted I was in the middle of binding my two bunts Latvia and vanilla and am happy to announce that they are now fully bonded and free roam in the bedroom 🎉
however vanilla sheds SO MUCH more than Katniss my Mini Rex
I didn’t like the Furminator does anyone have any brush recommendations? What do you think of the fur buster

DanaNM replied to the topic fixing a broken bond in the forum BONDING 2 years ago
Are you working with them in a neutral space, or just removing the barrier between their pens? In any case the bond is fully broken, so you should be working with them in fully-neutral space only for now.
Since it sounds like the fighting was pretty intense, it may be good to do a longer break with full separation (out of sight and ideally smell…[Read more]

mia replied to the topic fixing a broken bond in the forum BONDING 2 years ago
In my opinion, unless it’s been hate at first sight, buns can be bonded with time and work. Have they gotten a full vet checkup after their fight? Not just for injuries, but if they have anything else going on.
My concern here would be that they’ve had horrible fights, not once, but multiple times. Are you actually able to eventually monitor much…[Read more]

I agree they should be fine unless it’s super super cold. Giving them heaps of hay to snuggle into will keep them toasty if needed.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Sorbitol Ingested. in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years ago
How much gum are we talking here? If it was a stick of gum or less, I wouldn’t worry too much about sorbitol. I would be more worried about general GI upset or stasis simply by eating the gum. So watch food intake and poop output.

My bun ate some gum and the wrapper. She is a dutch about 3.5 lbs. She is not showing any signs of sickness, but I understand that sorbitol can damage the liver. What are the signs I should be looking for? I called my vet, they said to call poison control. Not sure what the right course of action is as she does seem fine now. If anyone know,…[Read more]

Unless it’s actually freezing in your house, your bunnies will be fine. Most bunnies like cooler temperatures anyway. So a short time without power isn’t something to be concerned about, in my opinion. If it came to it, you could make your bunnies a house out of a box and fill it with hay. They know how to keep themselves warm.

Hi Azerane! Nice to see you, although I wish it was under better circumstances. I do remember all of the problems Luna had with EC and the damage it caused. I’m actually not surprised it has come to this regarding her eye. While we would like to avoid having even a bad eye removed, sometimes these things just happen when EC is involved. I’m sorry…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic bunny with bulging disk questions in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years ago
When my dog had a bulging disc, we had to keep her confined for a month. The treatment was a steroid and limited movement. It took a long time, but she did get better. Unfortunately, rabbits do not do well on steroids. They are best avoided, except in a few very extreme circumstances where the benefits actually outweigh the risks. A bulging disc…[Read more]

Hi all,
where I live we are getting a bad storm tonight into tomorrow with up to 60-70mph winds, snow,freezing rain, temperature will drop.
