Waffle65 started the topic Eating Less with No Medical Reason Why in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
Hello,
Looking for some potential thoughts/advice on what to do with my 4 year old lionhead. A week ago she suddenly didn’t eat all of her pellets one day (which she always does), but was still eating her hay and acting normal. Throughout the week she seemed to progressively eat less, but was still eating her hay and got excited for her…[Read more]

He could be allergic to something like the hay. Have you tried different types of hay?
Another thought would be chronic irritation of the sinuses. How old are they? Have you considered tooth-related problems? Tooth roots growing into the sinus cavity can cause chronic sneezing.

I agree with Dface. You can use one, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really know what you’re doing. It wouldn’t take much to severely “over groom”.

HipHopBunny replied to the topic Dealing with Death if Bonded Rabbit in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
My heart is with you. 😥 I am very happy that you have Ralph, so you both can help each other through this difficult time. Agree with @DanaNM, fostering can be good, but only when you are ready. You might not even have to do fostering at all. Whatever will make you happy is the right choice, don’t feel pressured into making a decision, and I am…[Read more]

MiniRex started the topic My rabbit been sneezing for over a year! in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
Hi. I’m new here. I’ve had my two mini rex bunnies for a year now, and one of them, Peter, is always sneezing. He has been for the whole time I’ve had him. At first, I thought he might have snuffles, but he never got worse or better. He goes into sneezing fits, and try’s to clean his nose with his paws. His paws never really get matted, though. He…[Read more]

You don’t know how much your words mean to me. Not many people understand the bond that rabbits have with one another. I know people with just one rabbit and don’t understand how they could do that to them.I got a bunch of stuffed animals and that really seems to help, but he’s definitely not his perky self. But he is still eating still… -
HipHopBunny started the topic Bungled Bonding Updates in the forum BONDING 6 years, 1 month ago
Update on bonding: Semi-neutral territory. They are in different pens, in a different spot now. I have been letting all of them out at the same time, and Silver and OB are getting along great, flopping next to each other, but when Smokey comes over, they chase her away. Now Smokey is avoiding them, and when they chase her, she takes refuge in the…[Read more]

@HipHopBunny I really do hope they get along! 🙂
@LBJ10 Yeah I guess they do LOL
@DanaNM Yeah that could be it… But the laying down the same way is still weird lol!

Moonlightbunny66 started the topic Wood stove pellets in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
I need new litter and I saw this one called Canawick hardwood pellets. They’re wood stove pellets. It says no additives. I think they’re made from birch and maple wood. Are these safe? I was using horse stall pellets before, but I’m running out.

You can also try mixing the CC with some mashed banana to see if that will get her to eat it on her own. But otherwise you will need to syringe feed her.

You might try restricting the space just slightly if they seem to be spending a lot of time apart, but it sounds like things are going great!

DanaNM replied to the topic Bunnies mirroring each other in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
So cute! I notice with mine that I think they hear the other rabbit doing something (like eating hay) and think, “hmm that’s a good idea!”

DanaNM replied to the topic Chewing every carpet I own and more in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
She might still be going through a bit of “post-spay craze” which will hopefully die down in a couple more weeks. That said, my bridge bunny Bertha was a serious carpet digger.
What worked with her was to cover the carpet hot spots (as she seemed to have specific areas she would get obsessed with) with a heavy ceramic tile, and then give…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁
I’ve had to deal with the loss of a bonded mate a couple times now (unfortunately), and so far you are doing exactly what I recommend.
Since Ralph was able to see Morgan, he will likely be ok. You are right in that he likely did know he was dying before you did. He might be a bit quieter than normal for a bit. Just…[Read more]

Rabbits have synchronized grooming (instead of synchronized swimming). 😛

I reached out to rescue about fostering but will wait till after the storm. I’m getting stuffed animals for Ralph to see if that helps.

Steph replied to the topic Dealing with Death if Bonded Rabbit in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
Thank you. I took Ralph to see Morgan today. It was pretty uneventful, so he may have already known. Vet placed Morgan with towels on ground, sort of close to Ralph who went to a corner in the room. Vet left us, Ralph didn’t do much but sniff him once and put his head down, like he usually does when Morgan cares for him, when I pushed him f…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic EMERGENCY! My rabbit has not eaten in 8 days in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
If it’s at the point where she doesn’t want to eat it, then force-feeding is unfortunately required. She really does need to eat. As @jerseygirl mentioned, you can try to experiment with different consistencies of critical care (thick to watery pancake-batter consistency, as one of my vets describe the spectrum) to see if she’s willing to eat any…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Chewing every carpet I own and more in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
I agree with @Hazel that toys have hold a variable amount of interest, depending on their material, weight, and “anchor-edness”.
My Fable has “chewing times” every day, which are very routine. She also has “tossing times” too. During chewing times, I need to be holding onto the piece of cardboard or the willow toy so she can really tear and chew…[Read more]
