Also just curious- do I have to limit the amount I give or are they fine to have as much as they want as long as they keep eating enough hay?

Nasturtiums are very colorful if you’re looking for more ideas. They’re edible for humans too!

Thanks for the info! That sounds exactly like Theo – today seems to be even worse, he just had a sneezing fit of like 10 sneezes which never happened before, I thought he wasn’t able to breathe or something! I gave him the first course of antibiotics not long ago so I guess it hasn’t started taking effect. How long and how many tries of…[Read more]

Thanks! I do use rags to clean, I just find it easier than paper towels, so I’ll probably try out some reusable liners, if both rabbits use the same litter box once they’re bonded, I probably won’t use a liner and just clean the whole thing every day.

The shorter life expectancy for intact rabbits mainly applies to females because of the high cancer rate. Males can get testicular cancer, but it’s fairly rare. So Muffin should be just fine. 🙂

I don’t know from personal experience nor reading from past posts, but I came upon something online that states the following:

“Canterbury Bells (campanula medium) – Non-toxic but best fed in a good mix with other plants.”

…. to me, it sounds like perhaps it’s not the most nutritionally beneficial perhaps? Or maybe it’s overloaded with…[Read more]

She is spayed, was in May. I think she might like a basket, she loves jumping into things.  I’ll rig up a block between them with blankets and panels.

Alfred’s not yet spayed because we’re still working on clearing up her syphilis and the vet said to wait.

I will mention that scolding or trying to “punish” a rabbit (not saying you’re doing anything abusive; just using the word!) don’t really work with rabbits. For her, it is probably very much hormone driven, and also remember it’s a way rabbits communicate with each other.

I have a spayed female who, when we first adopted her, was very nippy….…[Read more]

Hunny has been prescribed chloramphenicol. We have to give 0.6 ml every 12 hours for three weeks, starting tonight. If this doesn’t work, we will then try penicillin injections.

I worry greatly about this medication. I read it will severely decrease appetite (Hunny already is barely eating and living off Critical Care). It is also toxic to the…[Read more]

Pinky** autocorrect sorry

You are starting treatment probably as early as you could have, so that’s a great start. Upper respiratory infections are not uncommon, and many live on. Pasteurella is the most common culprit for URIs, I believe. In actuality, many rabbits are infected with pasteurella! Some get ill while other’s don’t. It’s a combination of the rabbit’s immune…[Read more]

researching on species pages says canterbury bells are ansolutely safe and snapdragons are dubious!

we still want input on other flowers though, maybe

When rabbits are having trouble breathing, they will look up, or you can hear them really loudly. Most of the time when you hear them breathing loudly is because they have a respiratory infection.

If he is having trouble breathing, I think you’d know. They indicate it loudly, tipping head up, eyes kind of sleepy-looking. Agree with…[Read more]

Sitting upright, and the noises you describe sound like he is possibly wheezing.

I also do not line my litterboxes since they are pretty easily cleaned with a quick spray of vinegar-water. If a resuable liner was a suitable alternative for litter in general, that’d be awesome, but that’s definitely not the case, haha.

I do have other ways I try to reduce waste in my general rabbit-litter routine. I have a set of towels…[Read more]

Okay thanks! There’s not a ton of flowers in the hay, they’re just sprinkled around in the hay. Should I try to remove the roots and twigs if I see them or are they fine?

How can you tell if they are having trouble breathing?
