Well you never know, better check that tail too. 😆

Good idea! I’ll have to do that if I find that it is jagged. And no, I don’t think his tail will fall off 😂

“Don’t be surprised if the tail falls off”

God I hope not! 😉

Sounds like it’s fine, I would still have a look, if the nail did break I would make sure there are no jagged edges and if there are, trim them if possible so he doesn’t get it caught on something again.

Thanks so much! I’ll cut his nails soon and see what happened. It’s the next day and he’s still normal and eating and running, so I think he’ll be fine.

Is she spayed? If not, she’ll be less territorial if you get her spayed and it has the added bonus of eliminating the risk of uterine cancer. I have cats and rabbits and my first rabbit forced my old fat cat to cuddle with him all the time. Then I got him a bunny companion and he forgot the cat even exists.  He 10,000% prefers the company of…[Read more]

Agree with LBJ. If you do the body sock, be careful not to pull it across the incision as you’re putting it on, try to keep it away from the stitches until it’s in place (if that makes sense). Since they’re made of metal, they might get caught in the fabric. And of course, the same goes for taking it off.

A bit THANK YOU to all of you for your time and advice – you have really assuaged my worry and given me hope that all will be well 😊 it’s also made me realise that Tony’s smell may be far more of an issue than I realised and probably I’ve been getting careless about changing every article of clothing between rooms lately. So maybe Phil isn’t…[Read more]

Yeah I tried to reply to my original thread, but when I tried inserting a pic it wouldn’t load in, then it got to the point where when I typed the words were just invisible. So I just thought easiest way would be open another.

yeah I imagine they would, especially the type they are, like a metal. Eek, I would also be annoyed and itching if I were…[Read more]

Hmm, I don’t see a reply to your original thread pending. Weird.

At this point, her stitches are probably getting itchy. It still looks OK in the picture, but I would keep an eye on it. You could try putting some ointment on it so it doesn’t itch as much.

You could also try an e collar alternative like a “body sock”. Basically, you take an old…[Read more]

The poops in the photo don’t look too bad to me, but at 2 months he shouldn’t be having many greens just yet. Usually it’s recommended to wait until 12 months, and then introduce only 1 new veg at a time (usually 1 per week).

Eating greens provides water, and usually means a bit less hay eating, so drinking less is normal. Eating less hay will…[Read more]

This is a common injury. As Dana said, as long as it has stopped bleeding it should be fine. Don’t be surprised if the tail falls off (if it hasn’t already).

That’s great! Yeah I have noticed the lighting makes a difference with mine too!

Sounds like he might have broken a nail? If the bleeding stopped it should be fine, maybe you can check it out when you trim his nails?

We alternate play time vs home time and I think it definitely helps. Everything smells like both rabbits so they kind of get used to it. That would make Tony’s smell on you bother your other bunny less. But the smell might be too much until the 2nd rabbit is spayed. I’m sure the spayed rabbit can smell the hormones on the unspayed rabbit in a way…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss. 🙁

I know it’s easier said than done, but please don’t feel guilty, you were doing everything you could for her and it sounds like something very serious was wrong. We all hope our bunnies will live to 15, but 8-9 is still a nice old age for a bunny. And it’s clear she had a wonderful life with you. <3

I know how…[Read more]

We just spent about 12 hours on a date and it went surprisingly well. Both of my boys lost a couple of full mouthfuls of hair but I was able to expand the pen a lot larger than usual and at the end I was able to add the litter box. The box made Clover a bit more aggressive but everyone was holding their poop trying not to go on the floor so I had…[Read more]
