@Louiethebunny That is a really good price. A lot of vets are charging a lot more. I also know of a lot of people driving an hour or more to get their buns vaccinated. It is a tough call to drive that far but it seems like most bunnies are handling it very well!

@Louiethebunny I keep thinking they look like a Blank and Tan!

OMG So cute! I looove big bunnies! They look so content!

Hardware stores are a good place to look for big litter boxes. They usually have an assortment of storage bins, or if you need a really huge one, concrete mixing tubs are great for big bunnies and bonded pairs.

My buns also really like tunnels, cardboard cat scratchers, and willow baskets/wreaths. The “barrel roller” toy is also very popular with…[Read more]

Scatter -feeding pellets (instead of using bowls) can help with the pellet squabbles. As for the treats, I usually try to have one in each hand and feed my pair the treats at the exact same moment. It would prob be good to only give treats in an open area so the don’t get upset in a confined space.

Greens have a lot of water but not much fiber, so that could explain the lower poop output… You are right to keep up the critical care if she isn’t eating hay or pellet mush on her own, because it will add the needed fiber and bulk to her diet. That’s awesome she ate a hay cookie!

Yes Orchard is just as good, so hopefully that works out. Any grass hay would be suitable (oat and rye are other options).

I adopted Bun Jovi when he was 9, and he is the love of my life. I say go for it!

Sorry no one has responded to this yet!

I don’t have too much personal experience with this, but there was a bun at the rescue I volunteer at that couldn’t really use one of his back hind legs. It seemed like it had broken in the past and not been set properly, so it just kind of stuck out to the side and didn’t help him hop at all. He seemed…[Read more]

How is she doing now?

You mentioned a temp change, is she molting heavily?

I can’t remember if you’ve already addressed this, but has she had a dental exam? Molar spurs, even tiny ones, can cause enough pain to cause stasis. There is a feedback between pain and stasis. Pain causes stasis, which causes more pain, etc.

@DanaNM LOL bunnies can definitely be bossy! Ear plugs are a good idea but I always wear headphones at night so I can watch and listen to stuff while I fall asleep. You’d think that would drown out the noise but nope! I’ve ended up just taking out Pinky’s hidey house and log house. He mostly just sits and poops on top of that house anyway lol.…[Read more]

Agree with what’s been said so far, it really depends on the bun. Some buns have tons of problems, other’s never need to see a vet a day in their life.

As with dogs, poor breeding can lead to problems. Dental problems are especially common in netherland dwarfs, lops, and seems like lionheads are joining the ranks as well.

Many of the common…[Read more]

@PrinceDorian Thank you! What a cute photo with his face in the basket LOL. I love the cat tunnel. I’ve been looking for one! I have the biggest cat litter boxes I can find right now lol. What kinds of rabbit toys do you use? I mostly give them cardboard tp tubes and cardboard toys I make. They’ve also got some toy balls from the pet store. Thanks. 🙂

I could be mistaken, but I believe the next time we contact the vet will be when we run out of chloramphenicol, which should be in about a week or so. It’s just so scary during Hunny’s “lows,” and so exhilarating during her “highs.” I want to make sure I’m doing all I can for my girl; I’m so proud of her.

I guess the best thing to do is take…[Read more]

PrinceDorian: LOL Yes, I will have to do a bonding thread with Smokey and her hippo. She beats it up a lot but makes up for it in grooms. 😆  Dorian should meet Smokey, they both have so many things in common. 😉 Let’s put them on a blind date and see how it goes, eh? 😆 Agreed, we need more photos of Oscar, Wick, and Fable, Dorian,…[Read more]

Maybe the easiest thing would be to get some soft ear plugs? 🙂

My buns are super loud… I think I’ve just gotten used to the noises they make at night for the most part.

Also you can tell who’s in charge at my place… I end up adjusting my own behavior and let the buns do their thing LOL
