The HRS website has a couple information posts about rabbits & cats that may be helpful! I found this one includes the dynamic you describe:

sounding good! woohoo!

Hopefully it isn’t an abscess.

@Bam 😆 Yes, but I have a….lets put it as, an obsession with lots of animals, sooooo, I think you all would get a little tired of me posting that many pictures… 😆

Well, it just gets better and better! 😀 Lately they have all been pretty good with each other! Silver still nips them, but they all flop in the end, with no help from me! 😀 Will keep you posted!

I agree with what has been said above. 🙂

My cats and rabbits get along decently, not as well as I’d like them to, so I have them in different rooms. With my buns, 2 of them are bold and are not afraid of the cats, OB, on the other hand, is a timid bun, so I keep them in separate rooms so OB isn’t alone. 🙂 You mentioned in your post too that…[Read more]

She always got a lot of hay, but I’m hoping to improve the ratio to veg. And the last hay we had was this weird stringy stuff, that I don’t know if it was 3rd cut or something, no florets or flowers or anything, just stringy and thin and really flexible and tangled such that it made a huge mess as the buns pulled it from the bowl or hay feeder. I…[Read more]

I have an appointment for Thursday to see a vet. They said they don’t specialize but they see a lot of rabbits and I saw a review that says they treat gi stasis. Hopefully they’ll know what it is. I can’t seem to find a vet that specializes in rabbits.

Also update on his mouth, not sure if it’s from his greens today, but it looks green on the bot…[Read more]

@Hiphopbunny, pics of other pets than buns are definitely encouraged in the lounge! Cats, dogs, ferrets, piggies, hamsters, rats, horses, torts, lizards, birds, wallabies, fish- I think we even got pics of a very big pet snail once 😃

Urinary incontinence can be due to a UTI. I think that would be the most common cause. Another possible cause is e cuniculi which can affect the kidneys, but it generally manifests as more ample amounts of urine (puddles).

The loose dark stools in combo with a bit of incontinence makes me think of gastric irritation/ulceration. There could…[Read more]

Hahah I knew you would be disappointed @Hazel ! I have my hands full with my current three! Really hoping to get the trio bonded soon but I keep having second thoughts. It is hard to stay motivated when you have a current happy pair already, plus Bun Jovi’s age. One of the leads from the rescue offered to work with them at her house so I may take…[Read more]

I’m so glad to hear she is improving!

Most times cats and rabbits are fine together without too much intro needed. Whether you trust them free-roam unsupervised will depend on their personalities. Are your bunnies very small or skittish? Does the cat have a strong prey drive? Usually we only worry when the bunnies are babies or very small, and the cat has a strong prey drive.

Really…[Read more]

@Hazel: This year it seems like everything is out to get bunnies.  Just like it’s open season on us hoomans.  Kitty is fine.  I’m chalking this event up to her age and size.  Loki, being the Moose that he is, with that youth factor thrown in, seems bulletproof.  (I know he’s not, but….)  And Pyewacket, her kitty,  is fine.  she was treated…[Read more]

Nooo, Sven… 😥

Norway, how fun! You’ll have to tell us all about it! 🙂

I just opened my new hay bale from Tractor Supply, it’s moldy. Now I’ll have to go and return it. 🙁  Hopefully it’s just a fluke, I’ve never gotten a moldy bale from them before. Poor Oscar, he was all excited about it.
