Activity

His appetite is normal from last night , after coming from vet he is okayish after an hour and is back to normal him from today morning.

Till now I didn’t notice any change in his weight, I’ll weigh him weekly from now on . I feed him boltz pellets which are available for me here .

Please suggest what should I do if he falls again like…[Read more]

I’m glad he is steadier now! His diet sounds fine. Rabbit pellets as a rule have vitamin D3 added, vitamin deficiency is not common in rabbits that get both pellets and hay. Vitamin E deficiency has been suggested as a cause of Floppy Bunny Syndrome, a rare condition that causes the bun to lose all muscle tone.

I think you need to keep an eye,…[Read more]

He fell down when he was walking & looking up to reach chairs & sofa.  From morning he is steady . He got shots yesterday. It appeared like he was unable to control his limbs.

His diet is Zupreem Timothy hay , fresh grass , small amount of green vegetables & parsley , pellets in the morning and a treat in the evening. And water available all the…

How did he fall down? Was he losing his balance, did he seem like he had trouble controlling his limbs? Is he steady on his legs now?

There is an intracellular parasite called e cuniculi that can cause balance issues in rabbits.

This is a house rabbit forum, so most of the buns here live indoors. What is his diet like?

Thanks for these words , yes I want to remember all the good happy times with her but it’s just that sometimes the fact of her absence hits me hard . She will always be in my heart ❤

Bromelain and papaya do not help with stasis, and recent evidence suggests they can actually cause harm if ulcers are involved (the enzymes can aggravate intestinal irritation).

The most important things for preventing stasis and keeping the gut functioning well are fiber and hydration. How is her water consumption and hay consumption?

Thank you so much for the help and encouragement! I am so glad that 101rabits lead me to this page!

That is pretty hilarious! But its so true I have found myself worrying about his poop more than anything else. haha

Okay, sounds good! 🙂

For eating cecotropes, that is completely normal. 😆 Healthy even! There is this funny saying I heard here somewhere “Cat lovers learn about felines, and rabbit lovers learn about poop!” Nice huh? 😛

The Xpen for litter training him is great! You are doing an awesome job at caring for him! 😀

Thank you for the advice. I purchased a Small Evolution Self Clean Slicker Brush. It seems to work great! And the roller trick is awesome! Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for the responses! I have been pretty stressed thinking I am doing something wrong. Its nice to be apart of this where I can get some help so I am not just alone figuring all of this out.

His diet is Manna Pro GRO Pellets. I pretty much just make sure that he always has some since he is still growing. He also always has a mix of Timothy…[Read more]

Oh, and about your last question about play time, that depends. Some bunnies are fine to have lots of space together right away, others do better with restricted space at first, then gradually expanded. You will prob be able to gauge based of their behavior when you move them to non-neutral (or if you let them out to play and have issues, you’ll…[Read more]

Oh my goodness they are looking so great!!! They look so relaxed around each other! Way to go! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit jealous of all these easy bonds on the forum lately! LOL

I would try for a 4-6 hour session in neutral before making the jump to less neutral. You can also start in neutral, and then move to less-neutral after an…[Read more]

Is he making normal poops as well? Or are they all mushy?

My concern with a rabbit that young is that he could have coccidea. It is hard for me to tell in the picture you posted, but that looks like it could be diarrhea. Or is it mashed up cecotropes? Coccidea (a parasite) poops are very smelly and completely unformed… they smell almost like a…[Read more]

Oh, what an adorable boy you have! 😀

What this sounds like to me, is a neuter problem. Judging how old you said he was, I’m guessing he isn’t neutered. Unneutered/spayed rabbits do, unfortunately, tend to poop smelly and mushy poops outside their litterbox as a way of marking territory, so if that is the case, you will just have to bear it for…[Read more]

and here’s some cute photos from today 🙂

Thanks DanaNM! They spent an hour and 40 minutes together today in the neutral territory. I’m thinking of doing 3 or 4 hours tomorrow since it’s been going so well.

Yeah I wasn’t sure about my bedroom. That’s a good idea with the towels over the pen. I’ll probably do that in a few sessions.

Is it 48 hours in a neutral or semi-neutral space wit…[Read more]
