Piggybacking on this to test seemingly random underlining.

This is an old thread from 2017. We ask our members not to revive old threads 🙂 I will lock this topic now.

What ended up happening?

I second the hay from a farm. My Bernard was so picky about her hay, she won’t eat most hay that’s been packaged. But she loves orchard grass I get from a feed store. Also, like Bu20055 said, it’s a lot cheaper. I can get 45 pounds for $6.

Good to know she’s not the only one that looks a little rough when molting 😂

I am always smelling my bunnies! LOL they smell so good!

When I was bonding I gave them greens to nibble on (instead of eachother, lol). That being said, I didn’t start with particularly nippy rabbits. For what it’s worth, my big rabbit used to bite my little one if he stuck his nose into her x-pen when they were pre-bonding. He even ended up with a tiny bald patch on his nose for a day or two. BUT when…[Read more]

Hi there! To help give us a bit more info, can you fill out the “bonding template” that’s pinned in this section and paste it in your reply!

It sounds like your first sessions were not in neutral space? If that’s the case, it explains why they fought. You also just recently brought the new bunny home. For now, I think you should let the new bunny…[Read more]

That sounds like another positive session. 🙂

Not sure about the sneezing. If it’s constant it could be an upper respiratory infection. Hopefully the vet will have some ideas.

My rabbits will sometimes get spooked by something and start thumping. My guess is she heard something you couldn’t and was trying to alert you to the danger. Or she couldn’t see you that well and you startled her!  Or maybe you smelled weird for some reason and she didn’t recognize you. Often one of my three bunnies will start thumping and even…[Read more]

I understand, yes those signs would be cause for me to take my buns in as well. She could have been dealing with some gas. I can’t remember, have you been introducing any new veggies with her? Do you have simethicone on hand? You can also give a tummy rub when you notice signs of discomfort and see if that helps.

I’m wondering if you notice a…[Read more]

I think you did exactly the right thing, don’t feel guilty at all! They really can go into stasis so quickly and for seemingly no reason sometimes.

It sounds like he is getting good care now so I’m sure he will be feeling better soon.

It’s great she has a good hay appetite normally. I think it’s good to have pain meds on hand if you also have motility meds on hand. Stasis is quite painful, and the motility meds can sometimes cause cramping which can make it even more so. Pain can cause things to actually slow down more, so it can be therapeutic in addition to…[Read more]

Hi and thank you so much for responding. I’m very sorry to take to long to reply; I marked this thread to send me emails when someone comments but that didn’t happen until today. :C

I’m so terribly sorry to hear about Desmond and that he passed so soon. It’s a huge fear of mine that this will impact Fuji’s quality of life or that I won’t cat…[Read more]

Hi and thank you so much for responding. I’m very sorry to take to long to reply; I marked this thread to send me emails when someone comments but that didn’t happen until today. :C

To answer your questions:

-Fuji does eat a lot of hay when she isn’t having a flare-up. When she is having teeth issues, she tries to eat but stops after a few…[Read more]
