By all accounts rabbits should be pretty gross little creatures (eating poop, drinking pee, sleeping in their litter boxes, eating while they poop), but somehow they aren’t at all! LOL

Can you post a picture of her poops?  When you break them open, do they have lots of chewed up hay inside?

I would be inclined to slowly reintroduce certain greens and see if that helps (while still having high hay intake), rather than increasing pellets. Fur is really what helps buns stay warm, extra body fat just puts extra strain on their…[Read more]

That’s so wonderful! Congrats!

Aside from the basics which I’m sure you’ve read about, I think the main things with new buns are what bunny proofing you missed (lol), how their box habits are, and how outgoing they are right off the bat. Sounds like your girl is pretty outgoing, so she might want lots of pets right away, but if not don’t worry…[Read more]

Happy Friday everyone (or weekend if you are already at Saturday)

Hey, I want to congratulate you. I am by no means an expert with buns, in fact I know very little. But I wanted to say just maybe don’t rush your bun. Give him (or her 🙂 their space and let them come to you. Because I know you might be eager to bond, and hopefully they bond with you very quickly 🙂 But don’t rush it and let the bun go at their…[Read more]

Congrats @ Bu20055!! Then we can have more photos once she is home with you!!

Do you have a name picked out for her yet?

Hopefully this isn’t too jumbled, trying to make sure I include all information I was given.

I brought Karou to the vet in June since she’d been acting a bit off and had a tender stomach and wanted her checked out. She’d been drinking about 30 oz of water a day. The vet checked her over and said she noticed symptoms of a UTI and prescribed TMS…[Read more]

That’s so exciting!!! Hope all goes well, and remember to give your bun lots of love and care 🙂 <3

Thank you! The rescue contacted us saying we could pick her up tonight! I’m so excited but at the same time soooo nervous!

A lot of rabbit owners are proponents of the Tractor Supply wood stove pellets… including me, as I have roughly 80lbs of it sitting in my clothing closet? Haha. I have had positive experiences with it. It has a slight odor when it’s been saturated… like a wood smell?.. but it’s not a bad smell and it doesn’t travel outside the box. In terms of…[Read more]

Thank you! I will see how they do with the possible ear mites then. They were the vet in town that we could find that does small animals. For the annual check ups I’ll have to look into the vets that are further away.

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]
