Swollen? Hmm… does his face look similar to this? http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/Neurology/Differentials/facial.htm

This is starting to sound more and more like a tooth root issue. It can affect one or both sides. As the tooth roots invade the sinus cavity, it causes irritation and discharge. This can eventually lead to bacterial infections…[Read more]

I can see it now. 🙂

That sounds like a good plan! Always nice to rule out the easier options first, especially when she seems fine otherwise.

She is such a cutie! <3

Hmm yes I can see it. I had just copy pasted it in, maybe I need to try actually inserting it?

She’s adorable 🥰.

Hahaha I knew you would say that!

They had a date with all four today, and it was… fine? First few minutes all exploring the pen, Copper chinning everything. Some nice nose to nose interactions, some mounting (all by Copper), and none of it led to fights. He was more calm that last time but still a little wild!

Hopefully he will be fine, but if he starts behaving weirdly, contact a vet. There is no general rule for how well a rabbit copes with a fall. You have done the treat test and he did get back on his feet quickly. Washing himself and hopping out to you are other very good signs.

Some injuries do take some time before they give rise to symptoms so…[Read more]

Dana, I cannot see the image you added. Is it visible for you?

Also apologies if I interrupted your posting here, I was editing my original one!

Second the recommendation to look for potting trays. Like this one might work (“Tierra Garden GP48 Tidy Tray One Piece Potting Tray”)

I just saw some snow scoopers online that could be repurposed also.
