Activity

She sounds like she might be a good candidate for clicker training! Once you have the basics down, you could then use her training to redirect her to more appropriate activities. Then you are rewarding her for the good activity, not the bad one.

That combined with enrichment type toys and food puzzles could be very good for her.

Also, rather…[Read more]

Do you mean his cecotropes? Has there been a change in his diet?

Not eating all his cecals combined with the change in when he eats makes me think maybe he is in some sort of pain. How old is he? Is he overweight? Sometimes buns that are arthritic or obese can’t eat their cecals very easily and end up leaving them around. Or he might be producing…[Read more]

Here is one of Dorian being sassy, I told him to stop messing about with the pillow and he looked up with his head tilted (it was even more so in real life than photo). He did stop for at least 30 seconds though, we are making progress with the word no 😀

Hi! 🙂

Is he neutered? Unneutered rabbits will leave territorial poops and pees all over the house, so that could be the cause behind it. They have an oniony smell, clogs up your nose! 😆 That would be my best guess, if not, then I’m at a puzzlement along with you. 🙂

Wishing you answers!

HipHop: That’s awesome! 😀  I’m jealous! There’s never too many pictures in the picture thread. 😉  How many cats do you have? Pumpkin is adorable!

Dorian: I don’t know, the sound is hard to describe. Kinda like a hoarse, tiny pig? 😆

Sonn: They’re so cute together! So funny that Miss won’t move with him there. You know bunnies can’t see y…[Read more]

Hazel: 😆 Oh yes, I have a whole farm! (well, technically not, but I sure have a lot… 😉 ) I’ve got chickens, ducks, a turkey, cats, rabbits, an elderly dog, Miguel, and fish. 😆 I think that would be a bit too many pictures. 😉 The cat in the picture was Pumpkin. The cats and the rabbits don’t get along so good, so there is one portion…[Read more]

Oh definitely, it doesn’t help that they are fragile little creatures. Though I am learning maybe not as fragile as made out to be, still it took me several months to just relax a little.

@Sonn – Tater Tot is just a tiny ball of precious! Love that pic!!

@HipHopBunny – Have you ever had Miguel race any of the buns 😉 and who is that handsome kitty?

@Hazel – Ha! Dorian has never grunted… he will sit there and wobble his plate if it is empty for too long though, I am curious what a bun grunt sounds like now! 😀

Some seeds are difficult to digest, so they go right through. This is important for many plants, they rely on birds and wild animals to eat their seeds, then carry them away a distance where the seed can be deposited with the poop (excellent manure!) and maybe grow into new plants. There are even seeds that won’t sprout if they haven’t first…[Read more]

Thanks! I figured it’s probably not an issue since I saw these seeds fall off some of the hay after I noticed those poops. I just thought they would be digested into the poops? It could’ve fallen on top since there were some inside too.

Thank you Bam! I’ll give him some drops today then. Last time he ate them on a piece of lettuce which makes it a lot easier for the both of us. I really hope he’ll eat some Oxbow hay then maybe he’ll eat more of the farm hay.

Thank you littlemouse93! Yeah I think some are just pickier than others too. Muffins been eating the new hay and enjoying it. Pinky liked it the first night but not anymore lol. But we’ll have to see  if it’s because he doesn’t like it or if there’s an issue.

The shelter he came from said he was picky with his hay and would only eat it if they…[Read more]

My cat Miss is super unsure about Tater Tot. She stands there like a statue when he is on the bed. 😂

I really can’t wait for my new camera so he doesn’t look like a tiny blob.

Size comparison of sorts. Miss is a 3.8lb cat.

My Honey Bunny is picky about hay, too. In the past I tried to get hay from tractor supply in a large bale because it was so much cheaper, but he just wouldn’t take to it. I tried so hard to get him to eat it, but he just wouldn’t eat enough of it and it caused a bout of stasis. I ended up having to go back to giving brand name hay to avoid gut…[Read more]

Thank you. I kept giving him new handfuls of the store bought hay and farm hay, he would pick up pieces and drop it. I saw him eat a couple pieces though.

I tried hand feeding but he didn’t care, he will usually take it but not this time. ): I gave him toys with hay in it and half a cube of the alfalfa hay. He ate the alfalfa. One of the toys i…[Read more]
