I always thought that was August 1st. Maybe southern hemisphere horses have different bd? 😄

To clarify, are you asking if he needs a litterbox when he is outside?

It wouldn’t hurt, but my assumption is you wouldn’t mind if he pooped and peed in the outdoor area. If he is litterbox trained, he might feel more comfortable or would more readily use the bathroom outside if the litterbox was there. If it wasn’t there, he might hold it in,…[Read more]

I’m not sure, but my Google searches suggest this product is currently unavailable in the United States. One website, which was an authorized dealer, said there were no plans for restocking. Another website said there were negotiations taking place. So… either there was a problem with it being sold in the United States, or perhaps there was a…[Read more]

Not on Amazon. eBay has some, but it ships from UK.

What am I looking for to know my two are bonded? There’s still nipping and the occasional snuggle. Nova seems like she’s more dominant but she grooms Pekoe almost every time there is grooming.

Hi both,

Thanks for the thoughtful replies!  My foster bun (Lenn) actually got adopted though, so I gave her up a few days ago!  That being said, I already took in 2 new (bonded) foster buns and I think it’s probably likely I’ll encounter a similar skittish bun in the future, so your replies are still helpful 🙂  I agree that it’s definitely di…[Read more]

You can give her a massage and try to lift up her butt a little to help gas pass more easily. It is also often helpful if you can get her to move around a bit, because that too helps gas find its way out.

Simethicone gas drops are very good to have on hand, they can as a rule be found in the baby aisle in stores like Walmart, or if you are in the…[Read more]

I’ve always had a lot of luck with simethicone (baby gas drops). Some bunnies will have gas pain, but if you can relieve their discomfort then they will snap out of it and start eating again.

I wouldn’t give pineapple because the sugar can upset her tummy more if it’s gas. They have gas drops at pharmacies, if you can go to one (they are sold as baby gas drops).

You can give her a tummy rub for now. If it is gas only that sometimes is enough to help. Encouraging her to hop around a little can help too. Keep offering favorite wet…[Read more]

Also, I’ve just noticed she’s tooth grinding…

Hi, Wick. I don’t know how long it’s been since she’s eaten. I was out for a few hours, and when I came back I realized she wasn’t acting herself. She’s not cold, but she keeps tummy pressing on the ground. If I order the gas drops I’ll have to wait a few days for shipping, which might not be fast enough. Critical care could take a while to arrive…[Read more]

She can have gas and gas can coincide with GI stasis. Tummy pressing is a sign of gas.

Do you know how long it’s been since she  has eaten? If it has been more than 12 hours, you will need to go the vet.

If you’re able to, you can get infant gas drops that can help rabbits pass gas.

Is she cold at all? It’s important to keep her warm if shes…[Read more]

I think all horses have their birthdays on Jan 1?

Well make that a party for 3 because the 1st is also TimTims birthday! (Also estimated bd)

I think that’s a good idea to have Louie & Lola’s on the same day. 🙂

Ahh yes, December chat when it’s almost January :D. I cannot believe how quickly December flew by, it’s almost Louie’s (estimated) birthday, the shelter he came from guesses he was born on Jan 1-2 of 2020 meaning he’s almost one!!! Probably Lola’s too, we have no idea about her birthday but she’s supposedly similar age to Louie so we’ll celebrate both! 😛
