My rabbit also has poops like that sometimes!!! For him it seems to happen after little episodes of gas. Maybe Pinky’s eating something that makes him gassy, or maybe he’s just prone to gas like my bun? Either way, it makes me feel better that this doesn’t only happen to my bunny once in a while!!

Yes, its a good idea to check once in a while, but it’s up to you if you want to clean them regularly. Some bunnies keep them very clean without the help of humans. It’s definitely not a pleasant job, but if it needs to be done, then it needs to be done.

Okay thank you. I’ve never looked at their scent glands before. I know that some people routinely clean them. I don’t really know if that’s necessary unless they’ve got an issue though. Pinky can be pretty squirmy too lol.

Thanks guys. I think it was just a normal estimate for them. If he needs it done I can look into a different vet who’d do it for less. It’s hard to find rabbit vets in my area though. :/

That is very expensive for a teeth filing. Google tells me that’s around $640 USD, which is triple what I have paid at my vets, who tend to be on the more expensive side due to my location.

I see the hospitalization as something really hiking up the price (the $94), because if it’s just a filing, your rabbit should not need to stay overnight (in…[Read more]

If this starts going south I will try the x pens next. Thanks for the help!

I consider 4×4 of those grids to still be relatively small (assuming they are about 1 ft long?). By large I mean like 2 x-pens linked up or a whole room.

But if they are doing well in small space then they might just need more time.

I’m so sorry. I agree with the others. Don’t beat yourself up. You were doing the best you could for him.

That seems very expensive for a teeth filing (usually they are closer to $300), but if he needs an extraction or abscess treatment that’s more normal. But I don’t think he would? Was that supposed to be an extreme high estimate?

If there is a problem, I think it would be pretty obvious. His scent glands would be full and sometimes the gunk gets hard.

Cilantro is a good one for low calcium.

Thank you DanaNM! Yeah, I had a short period where they were both healthy… My poor bunnies.

I’m sure they’ll check his teeth again when he goes back to the vet. So we can figure out if it’s the issue. This is the treatment plan they gave me. Is it normal? All these things seem necessary. But wow that’s a big cost. It’s Canadian dollars btw.

Lol how funny! I have tried various sizes right now they are in a 2 by 2 of those wire shelf panels. A week ago I tried a pretty large space 4 by 4, I think, and the circling was a lot worst. I usually just let it play out they have never had any serious fights it’s just this weird little circle thing lol. But right now is the best they have done…[Read more]

Oh and I had another thread called “soy sauce pee”. His pee has been smelling strange recently. Like soy sauce or fishy miso soup. Not sure if it’s related.

It is really bizarre as 95% of the time he is fine then we get an episode every other night and he may yell out.

I am worried about calcium related illness though nothing showed on the X-ray and he only seems to struggle to wee around 9pm then it subsides. It is really bizarre.

He only seems to tolerate parsley and basil but I have come to learn…[Read more]

Thank you, this is helpful!

What happens after the circling? Have you tried pushing past this during the session?

And how large is the space? Sometimes a larger space can help. They might chase a little, but they can actually get away from each other, so it doesn’t just immediately lead to circling.

The nipping could be him thinking about…[Read more]

Finger’s crossed it was a fluke and they are all good from here on out!
