Oh my! Esther is beautiful. What breed is she?

If they sell an indoor rabbit formula, then I would suggest going with that one. The outdoor formula likely has extra calories, etc. to help rabbits maintain body heat when living outdoors. Since you are planning on having house bunnies, there would be no need to provide them with more than their bodies need.

You can feed 2 bunnies together or…[Read more]

Yes, it’s pretty inexpensive. You can buy it over the counter, but I would have the vet help you with determining the correct dosage.

Loki shouldn’t need treatment unless he starts showing symptoms. Rabbits are often exposed to EC early in life and it remains inside their bodies. Most rabbits do not develop symptoms. Even if Loki was never…[Read more]

@LBJ10 haha yeah I usually just grab mine too. I used to do the no-touch method and would always feed them in it, but got tired of having the carrier sitting out all the time.

Some bunnies are just prone to gas too. I always keep simethicone on-hand just in case. There is debate about how much it really helps, but I’ve always had good luck with it.

I agree. The bacteria involved could be resistant to Bayril. I would try some different antibiotics before giving up.

Hmm… I’ve never had issues with just grabbing a bunny and placing them inside the carrier when needed. My experience probably isn’t typical though. 😉

I agree with the others. If you’re trying do a “no touch” capture, then getting them used to the carrier by keeping it in their area is a good approach.

Yeah good point. I guess I am just wondering if short sessions might be a better bet, and if that’s the case I need to figure out where to date them at home. There’s always the bathtub I guess. 🙄

It’s hard to say how they will react. Have they currently seen Gwen at all? I’ve been working on a trio, and when I first brought the new bun home the pair were pretty upset about it. I ended up blocking their view of her with towels, and then slowly removing the barriers. Their bond didn’t break, but it might have if I hadn’t gone very slowly…[Read more]

Might be worth a shot, but probably the longer you can go without shaking the boat at the moment, the better. I visualize it as solidifying a baseline OK relationship as much as possible so small tuffles don’t break it.

Gwen is a male (we originally thought female, hence Gwen being the name 😆 ) I think I will give Gwen a chance with the pair starting with a at home speed date to see the relationships! Should I do the speed date with them all together or separate? Both?

My only concern is that my pair will reject each other because they smell different if…[Read more]

As far as I know kiln dried pine is safe as long as it isn’t treated.

Oh also that bottom pic of her with the pink bunny is her grooming it. I was petting her and then I had to leave so I stuck in front of her and she started cuddling and grooming it <3 It’s one of the things that makes me think she’d love a friend but I’m wary to do anything bonding related with her until we’re sure there’s no cancer because I…[Read more]

@Bernard2020

Hehe my girl still has her bald belly too. It’s pretty cute to be honest 😀

Shes back to normal again. The vet said they didn’t see anything that would have caused it so it could have just been due to shedding or gas. Though to be honest I’m not too sure what kind of tests they did? We’re waiting for the vet to email the rescue back with the details about her visit. The vet said if it happens again they’ll do an ultraso…[Read more]

@prince dorian the bun

It was shaved when she got spayed and it hasn’t fully grown back yet. I love that pic of Dorian! He’s so adorable, what breed is he?

A lot of people use the puzzle mats. I think if you make sure the edge sticks out past the edge of the pen they are less likely to chew it. My Bun Jovi tends to try to dig into them so I can’t use them.

Other safe options for diggers/chewers are cardboard, seagrass mats, newspaper mats (link on how to make here), and fleece blankets (watch to…[Read more]
