What brand of pellets are you feeding?  Some buns can’t handle the sugars and fillers in the common brands of pellets and feeding pellets that are grain-free and soy-free can make a big difference with those buns.

Some buns are prone to sticky poop. Why this is, isn’t fully known, but chances are there’s some sort of hereditary component. The problem can be in the innervation of the gut, or it can be about an imbalance in the gut microbiota. Very often its a combination of several things.

Hay actually has good nutrients, even though it doesn’t look like it…[Read more]

The color is frosty point, which is similar to sable point but with a light frosty gray color instead of brown. You see it in a lot of dwarf breeds. If I were to guess, your bunny is probably a false dwarf Nethie or a Nethie mix. Super cute!

Thank you soooo much, Kate!!  It makes me so happy to hear from you, and I so appreciate your kind encouragement and advice.

That’s great about your Zantac syrup!  Teddy’s always on meloxicam (due to spondylosis) so he’s always on famotidine too (now that we can’t get Zantac around here).  I think someone had commented that yes, famotidine can al…[Read more]

Oh, what a cutie! Hmm, I’m not that good with breeds, but I would say he definitely looks like he has some Netherland Dwarf in him. Maybe some Californian with those lite grey markings. 8-9 weeks, so I’m guessing that he is almost fully grown. My bun Silver is a Californian, and she looked just like that as a baby, but now she is fully grown and…[Read more]

He still has some growing to do. The vet thinks he will top out at 2-2.5lbs.

In this case, I strongly recommend you do NOT take the bunny. While I understand others have good intentions (and no reason to defend yourselves as we FULLY understand why the option for taking is desirable – believe me, we get it), But as one of the owners of BinkyBunny,  I cannot promote this as a viable option —  legally  this would be co…[Read more]

I would truly simply take the bunny and provide him with proper care. If you’re soo irresponsible that you let your rabbit roam outdoors, then you can suffer the consequences when someone takes them. Just like people who let their cats roam outside and are then shocked when they are hit by a car or go missing.

I think if you’re capable, you…[Read more]

YAY! The things we cherish the most are the things we worked hard to get. 🙂 I’m sure you will have a loving bond in no time! Keep us posted!

So exciting! Things take time, especially for a prey animal. As long as your consistent in sending trustworthy vibes, most rabbits come around.

Try putting a litter box on the couch and make sure there’s still hay in it. Maybe he will go in there, it’s at least worth a try  in my opinion. It stopped my bun from peeing on my bed.

It sounds like there’s no permanent damage done, so hopefully this has been an informative experience for both you and your family with rabbit care expectations. If your family may continue to contribute to your rabbit’s care, it is important to stress the importance of the correct diet; not only in content, but also in quantity.

The weight gain…[Read more]
