You could try a couple of layers of cardboard. I have been able to get really large boxes from my local appliance store for free, you could see if one near you is willing to let you take a few off their hands.

I would go for a few layers for sure if your bun is one to chew and dig though, just to make sure they don’t get through to the rug too…[Read more]

LOL I’ll try to catch him on camera next time!

So sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to know what happened in cases like this, and I know that only makes it rougher, especially since it was sudden and he was still so young. As others have said he probably had some existing health issue that was hiding, try not to play the blame yourself game. It is good you were able to be there with him his…[Read more]

Ha, possibly! That or he wants him to guard them? The elephant is his best friends, though they have had squabbles.

@Moonlightbunny66 I just realized you never posted any photographic proof… I need to see Pinky in action!!

Yup, just gotta ride out the post neuter hormone craze. 😉

I wouldn’t allow him to hump anything, or run and jump, he might aggravate the wound. It’s best to keep them confined for at least a week.

I’m sorry he’s feeling poorly. 🙁

How much of the gas drops are you giving him? He can have 1 ml every hour for a couple of doses and then 1 ml every three hours (Simethicone doesn’t get absorbed by the body so there’s no danger of overdosing). Also I wouldn’t feed him the gatorade mixture, that has tons of sugar in it and is likely to make his…[Read more]

Maybe temporarily to see if it helps? If it doesn’t help to remove it then you could prob put it back.

One other thought crossed my mind. Forum moderator Wick’s bunny will completely lose his box habits when he needs a tooth trim. Something about being in pain just makes him very lazy about going to his box. So it might be worth doing a thorough…[Read more]

How is he doing this morning?

Thank you so much for the reassurance!

This is totally normal after a neuter. Their hormones increase for 4-6 ish weeks after, before going away. Give it some time, and he’ll settle down.

Thank you Dana 🙂 I’ll take her to the vet as soon as I can. Hope we can manage any discomfort she might have…

I’ll buy the Oxbow joint support in my next online order, but I’ll have to do some research on softer litters, since here in Spain we don’t have Carefresh 🙂

She does have more shallow litter boxes in the room and around the house,…[Read more]

Hmmm that does sound like a touch of arthritis. You might ask your vet about a low dose of daily metacam going forward (it could also be a trial to see if it helps). Does she have additional boxes in the room?

Maybe switching litters would make it more enticing?

Your description of her slowing down and stiffness do sound like arthritis. I used…[Read more]

I know what you mean, we just never know how long we have with them. 😥

It didn’t occur to me that it could be arthritis, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she had it because I’ve noticed her hind legs are a little bit stiff and she’s rather lazy and clumsy. She doesn’t seem to have any problem jumping in and out of the litter box or cage though (when she feels like it).

My cage set-up is very simple. In one side…[Read more]
