Activity

Louie and Lola live in my bedroom, (although they sometimes get to see other parts of the house) and at the end of their bonding I just had them free roam all night so if anything happened I would be there. I then moved the xpen to a slightly new spot, tossed the xpen mat in the wash, rearranged toys and wiped down the xpen with a water and…[Read more]

First of all, a rabbit doesn’t get a UTI from dandelion greens. Dandelion greens do contain calcium, but they are also a diuretic and for that reason they are often recommended to buns with kidney issues. A diuretic means the bun will pee more, the French word for dandelion is pis-en-lit, which means wet the bed 🤣

Did your vet want you to cut…[Read more]

For myself and mine I usually use Aspen wood shavings, kiln dried. They absorb some water/pee so it doesn’t need to be changed every day and have had no cases of staining or damp rabbit feet from them. Often I won’t even know there is much pee in the box until I shovel it out to change it and lo-and-behold, it’s wet underneath.

Also never had a…[Read more]

If they need treatment for ear mites, this vet will probably do, but for further health checks I’d recommend you go to a rabbit vet. Non rabbit vets as a rule don’t pick up on stuff. I’ve had this experience several times when no rabbit vet has been available to me (the only one here is only open Monday-Friday).

Non-rabbit vets can miss really…[Read more]

Thank you! Yeah I get it, it can be hard to keep them away from the things they shouldn’t get into. He’s still been eating hay, veggies, and pellets. So I think he’s okay now. 🙂

From the last 8 or so years of having buns I found their digestive tracks quite resilient.

This is probably going to make me sound like a terrible bun parent but mine have nibbled the corners off foam Matts I get for their feet, a couple bags similar to the hay bags and a couple wires and base boards.

Of course we stopped it the second we caught…[Read more]

It can be interesting to see how our buns behave when they do/don’t know we’re watching!

I can’t sit on the floor with my Honey Bunny while he eats because he will leave his dish and come ask for pets instead of eating. If I get up and leave he’ll go back to it and start eating again.

Hi,

Just trying to piggyback off of Moonlightbunny’s post. My Hazel and Lola sometimes have little bits of flaky skin on their ears. It usually looks like it’s been from where they scratched their ears. I don’t see any other signs of mites like crustiness or discharge or irritation. And although I have seen them scratch their ears, it didn’…[Read more]

Omg she’s beautiful! Sounds like an adorable sweet bun! 😄 I hope you get to take her home soon. 😊

@Hazel Starting them on Monday, if she has a seizure this weekend.  If not, we’ll reassess.

Thank you so much DanaNM! 😄
