Have you asked regular pet grooming places? Some places can do / have experience with bunny nails even though they don’t advertise. Just make sure to check their prior experience first.

Hi @BunMom4,

This thread is very old so you are unlikely to get a response; we ask members not to reply to old threads as it can cause confusion. Also, since the topic of intentional breeding is prohibited here, most members and moderators don’t have much experience with babies.

For a bunny that young, I really recommend consulting your vet with…[Read more]

My baby bunny is 3 weeks old and has a loud gurgly tummy …. Can I give him a very small amount ?

Good to know! And yes it seems that bravery and fear are two sides of the same coin!

Oh this is so tough, we dealt with a bun like this in the shelter. He would groom himself to the point where he would cause open wounds. In his case it appeared to be anxiety related. 🙁

One of the rescue staff fashioned a little shirt for him to prevent him from grooming the hot spots. She had to keep him with her basically 24/7 because if he…[Read more]

If you free-roam an unspayed female and an unneutered male this is essentially a guarantee of pregnancy. Just as a reminder, the topic of intentional breeding is forbidden on this forum.

This looks like it could be a failed pregnany (miscarriage), the best thing is to have your bunny checked out by the vet as soon as you can. If she isn’t…[Read more]

It’s very difficult to overdose probiotics unintentionally. What the bun cant use just passes through.

My buns are on antibiotics and I was told to also give them probiotics everyday. I can’t separate the meds since one is extremely difficult so…[Read more]

It is a good idea to give Benebac when a bun is on antibiotics, but it’s even more important to give it after the course of antibiotics is over, because that’s when the gut is trying to re-establish a healthy gut microbiota.

Dont give probiotics at the same time as the antibiotics, wait a few hours.

Thank you all for the replies!! He had a really horrible pile of poop (looked like a splat) a few days ago and it’s been a while since the last time that happened. He had that after his surgery and his poops would be perfect for a day after the bad pile, and then they would get bad again and it would be a whole cycle.

Right after his bad pile…[Read more]

Thanks! I think that’s what I’m going to do. They can still enjoy their time side-by-side for now and we’ll resume full bonding after the trip.
