Sorry your girl is poorly. What medications did you get?

You will need to syringe feed her if she’s not eating. Do you have critical care?  You can make a pellet mash and syringe feed that if you don’t have critical care. Keep offering favorite veggies to encourage her to eat.

Her ears might cold because she her body temp is low, which can…[Read more]

Thank you so much Bam, I think I’m going to take the paper bedding out as I find it so dusty and ends up outside his cage and in his water dish so much. Would it be ok to take it all out at once or would that cause stress with a big change? It’s a plastic bottom so it’s ok to have nothing I’m thinking, he pushes it out of his little bridge cover t…[Read more]

I think for now condensing her stuff to a main area would be a good idea (and will also make bonding easier in the future). There will likely be an adjustment period for her, so maybe try spoiling her a bit with some new boredom buster toys and a new hide. Think of that area as her burrow, it will be her safe space that no one messes with.  Then…[Read more]

Oh sorry, no you’re right. She’s not just free roam, she has spots all over the house that are hers; her stuff isn’t in one area. So we are penning her where her main bed and food/water are but she has multiple sleeping spots and sources of hay outside of that. So maybe we need to condense that?

Yes, unfortunately her litter tray is on the couch.…[Read more]

I also just noticed you said she has her litter tray on the couch? That could certainly contribute to her being possessive over the couch! Rabbits can be very particular about their potty spots.

I might be visualizing the set up incorrectly, but when I suggested to pen her, I meant pen her in an area that is just her’s, that you don’t enter…[Read more]

I would prob wait to swap things until Toni get’s spayed. I imagine even with that, it might get worse at first, then better eventually.

Hi guys.

Thanks so much for both of your replies.

We have been very careful to wear NOTHING around Toni that we wear around Phil and she has been a little better. We didn’t pen her yesterday as she was OK, but sulky and withdrawn. This evening, she also seemed fine but then she got dominant again toward my boyfriend on the couch, trying to claim…[Read more]

I’m sorry Winston has an eye infection. The cause is often hay, but it could perhaps be the bedding or practically anything that can cause a scratch on the eye, where ambient, otherwise harmless, bacteria can start to grow. The recent neuter has put a little bit of strain on his immune defense, so that could have contributed.

Most of us here…[Read more]

Also, here is the new set up. Thinking when all the combos are getting along, I can just open up the middle during the day and let all 4 interact. I closed off the condos currently as there seemed to be some disputes over them (and it was harder to separate them, hence the bite I got).

So, yesterday BJ and Bonnie did very well together, and Coop and Myra did very well together. Last night I decided to put BJ back with Myra and Coop with Bonnie. BJ and Myra were wonderful and back to normal. I realized BJ hadn’t really been eating his salad when separated from Myra but wolfed it down once they were together. Coop and Bonnie also…[Read more]

Stressors can dampen the immune system and cause something to flare up, so anything you feel you can do to relax him may be helpful. There’s also the understanding that he may adjust to the noise and things that are happening. If there is a lot of air irritants, definitely make sure there is good ventilation where he is.

Ive sent you a PM with info  about posting pictures!

this song always involuntary pops into my head when my sick animals start eating again.

Is there a more quiet area of the house you can move him to? Does he seem better in the evening once things quiet down?

8 is senior for sure, but he might have several more years in him, so don’t despair.

well I really want to post poop pictures and a video of him eating because isn’t it just the best thing to see a bunny eat after not eating???  I LOVE the sound of happy chewing.

Is there a trick to posting pictures in replys?  It just keeps saying not allowed.

Thank you so much Bam.  It is so lonely to have sick animals, especially with co…[Read more]

Thank you, thats definitely a good safe place to start!
