Thank you for the kind tips! My rabbit has tons of chew toys and stuff as well as a cardboard house, but he also started chewing on the side of his litter box, so I had to cut down the middle of some cardboard tubes and cover up the edges. He is a pretty reckless teen! Haha.

What would you recommend for litter training him?

Neutering will make it quite a bit easier to littertrain him. Rabbits mark their territory with both pee and poop. The urge to mark territory is stronger in intact rabbits, because it is important for reproduction. Even neutered rabbits will still mark territory if there are other rabbits nearby. It is an i.portantmeans of communication between…[Read more]

I’m sorry her sister died. It’s heartbreaking that she nudged her to wake her up 😌Sometimes vets prescribe antibiotics as a general quick fix for just about everything. It won’t cure everything though, and there are certain types of antibiotics rabbits don’t tolerate. Medirabbit has a list of bunny safe antibiotics, if you’re ever in…[Read more]

I’m sorry Bam I hadn’t seen your last post until now, fingers crossed the Pro-c helps then. That hadn’t crossed my mind that it could be something else and won’t know what to do if the vet isn’t see any patients. Totally agree on how stressful it is I’ve been keeping a close eye on her since she lost her sister she seemed to of be being her n…[Read more]

Thank you so much!

I will keep that in mind. 🙂

Ouch! I know how hard 50/50 litter box skills can be! 😆

Yes, neutering should help with this, but it won’t be an instant miracle, it will only allow you to train him to use the litter box! 😆 There is a very helpful website in the RABBIT INFO that helps with this! 😀

Wishing you luck! 😀

Hi again sorry about all the questions but can someone please advise me how much and how often I should be giving cc to Pip please, now she’s stopped eating her greens etc I was thinking she should have more ? Just had a successful feed with cc and fluids and she seems to be a bit more settled with me doing it now and proper munched up the c…[Read more]

Just got back from the vet, but she did not know what it is 🙁 They did a deep skin scrape and tape prep cytology, all tests came back negative. They took a sample to test for ringworm and will hear back in two weeks. Starting to treat for ringworm (miconazole) and recheck in a week.

I know a person who used the PRO-C probiotics for her bun when he had been injured and needed nursing back to health. It has brewer’s yeast, which occurs naturally in the healthy rabbit gut. You can mix it with the CC.

There could be something wrong with her that the gut stasis is only a symptom of. The stasis is however what needs to be adressed…[Read more]

Fixed rabbits can definitely still pee and poop outside the litter box, especially on couches and beds, which are attractive places for them to mark. Wait it out, and if it doesn’t improve, you may need to forbid him from being on the couch for long periods of time. Or put a litter box up there.

The probiotics I have are called: PRO-C probiotic for rabbits….Brand: VETARC It says on the tub ‘friendly bacteria with vitamin c and dextrose for digestive support’

it’s time for her next cc. I hate upsetting her and long for the meds to arrive tomorrow. not been much change in her this afternoon 😔 I’m beginning to lose hope she’s lost so m…[Read more]

I completely agree that pain meds would be great. Sometimes buns can recover from stasis with just pain meds, fluids, and syringe feeding. The pain meds help them keep fighting (and pain can actually cause the gut to slow down even more).

Thank you Bam. I have heard a rabbit scream just before he died it was an horrific scream ( this was another rescue bun that had had his throat cut and stabbed several times and left for dead in a bag outside ‘pets at home’ store, he survived all his surgery and eventually I adopted him but not long after he had a heart attack they think it was…[Read more]

Thank you for the update, I have been thinking about you!

The squealing is of course not good, rabbits should  as you know, bot squeal, although some individuals can be rather vocal. All rabbits can scream, which means mortal fear (a defense mechanism that have probably served the species well, since it can startle a predator enough to let go of…[Read more]
