We often recommend confining a new bunny for a little while so they have time to settle and become familiar with their new household. If you brought this bunny in before your roommate moves out, you could keep him in a small enclosure for that week or two. It would give him him to adjust before he is given free reign over an entire room. I would…[Read more]

Maybe? It’s hard to tell. I think I heard some quiet gurgling when I was last with Hunny. Not as bad as when she was on orbifloxacin, but gurgling heard for the first time since we took her off that antibiotic the other week…I tried rubbing Hunny’s tummy, but it didn’t seem to make too big a difference.

There’s no such thing as phone books anymore… but they do make a good bunstruction project.

My girls are 4.5 lbs and he is 5 lbs. Between the 3 of them they get a heavy 1/4 cup of oxbow garden select twice a day. Unlimited local hay, they go through bale of hay (timothy/orchard mix) in 2 months. A nightly plate of greens, base of Romaine, green or red lettuce and at least of 2 other greens. Depending on the season, baby bok choy, turnip…[Read more]

Perhaps she ate too many greens too quickly after not eating very much (of them) in a long time? Is she acting like she has gas?

Hi @Alaska‘sMom

Sorry, you are going through this difficulty. <3 In truth though, 4 months isn’t that long at all. Could it be that she has been in a scary home, or is it that she is just timid? Timid rabbits tend to take more time to form a bond with you, but when they do, it is a beautiful bond. Some buns bond right on at the start, and others,…[Read more]

Yeah, I guess I just wasn’t sure how much cardboard was TOO much!

Thank you!!!

Thank you for your reply. 🙂 I have not noticed this before, and I don’t think she has a pinched hindquarter, for she never has trouble flopping a certain way. It doesn’t stick out much, but you can tell something is there.

One of my friends strongly beliefs that she pulled a muscle, do you think that is what caused it? should I try to get some…[Read more]

Eating the cardboard scratcher is kinda the point! they will chew at them and reshape them as a project. Unless she is eating a really huge amount I wouldn’t worry.

Rapid growth typically points to an aggressive tumor, but abscesses can grow fairly quickly sometimes. Abscesses are difficult to drain in rabbits. Their pus is so thick, it just doesn’t drain like it does in other animals.

Thank you so much, Hazel!  Haha that’s funny about Oscar’s grunts 😆  And I so appreciate your company in this.

Teddy has always been his own man and lets us know that he needs a strong sense of autonomy, haha.  He even doesn’t necessarily like being offered food (like if I put something in front of his face), except for his verrry favorite tr…[Read more]

Hmm… and you haven’t noticed this before? There is something that is referred to as a “pinched hindquarter” and what it means is either one or both heels point inward. So their feet are like this /. This is undesirable for showing, but we don’t really care about such “defects” around here. It generally doesn’t affect their quality of life. The…[Read more]

They were both neutered recently, which means their hormones are probably all over the place right now. Plus you gave them each a taste of freedom and then took it away. You were asking for it! LOL

What does his diet consist of? It’s a long shot, but some rabbits are more sensitive to diuretics than others.

Ten days?! Show-off 😉

Seriously though, that’s amazing! Congrats! 😀

And yes, as HipHopBunny said, we want pics!

Poor Teddy, I’m sorry he’s not feeling quite right. 🙁  Maybe it’s gas? Oscar often gets gassy when he’s shedding and Simethicone always does the trick. I don’t have any experience with cisapride, unfortunately. I hope he snaps out of it quickly.

That’s so cute how he tells you if he’s in the mood for you to pet him or not, I’m sure he…[Read more]

I think teaching tricks could be really good, she is pretty smart so maybe tricks will help burn off some of her extra energy. Thanks for the idea!

Also, I do have cable covers on the wires. She was nibbling at the wire covers so I rubbed soap on that so she wouldn’t nibble anymore. Definitely no bare wires in the room she’s in!
