Congratulations on your new bun!! She is super cute!

It is a bit unusual for buns to be very social and outgoing after just 2 days in a new home, but its not a sign of anything bad. The bun I have now needed 4-5 days, which is also a short time. It is lovely when a bun wants to be pet and hang out with their human!

Typical stasis treatments are fluids, syringe feeding, and pain management. Sometimes a motility med is needed. The poops strung together with fur mean that she might be having some…[Read more]

What antibiotic did you get? Metronidazole can have good effect on a possible tummy infection. Its sold under various brand names, Flagyl being one, but it should be possible to find the name of the active substance somewhere on the package.

There are several antibiotics that can be safely given to rabbits. Here’s Medirabbit’s list of Safe…[Read more]
