If he is not currently going through a molt, I don’t think waiting a few days without brushing would be too bad. If you do see is fur comes off very easily though, it would be important to try so he doesn’t ingest it all. That can cause some major GI issues.

I am not experienced with short-haired agouti-dutch mix fur, so unsure how that may…[Read more]

@Louiethebunny Yeah, that’s true. Today I put their veggies in the carrier so they would go in and can eat while I clean. Pinky didn’t get mad this time!

I was using shredded pine, but I went to the vet and learned that it’s not safe and can cause respiratory problems! I feel so bad! My poor bun! I just switched him over to pelleted recycled paper and he uses it fine. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, when Wilbur was young he produced a lot of cecos too but as he got older I didn’t see them as much. Now I never see them at all! I don’t really know why that happened since I didn’t change his diet, but he seems fine lol. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about!

Lol you’re right!

@Hazel LOL 😆 agreed.

LOL. I offered her a little piece and she sniffed it, so I left it in her enclosure and she just stepped on it. She didn’t like to eat really anything but hay when we got her almost two weeks ago now, but shes learning to gobble up the food I give her.

Currently, I just let each bun out for playtime, then clean their enclosures out. Hopefully they are bonded soon and can play together so it’s a little faster. I agree, sounds territorial, as well as the fact that they are new to your home, so their pen is their main space right now.

Thank you! I will look into a treat ball or even one of those “foraging” bowls.

I agree it could’ve been choking. Small pellets are worse than bigger pellets. The recommended preventative measure is to serve pellets in a treat ball or just scattering the pellets so the buns can’t gobble them up in one go.

Its very good to look into how to deal with a choking incident, should one occur. Its called a bunny Heimlich. You never…[Read more]

Yup! They’re silly little buggers 😆

We are not giving up on Hunny, rest assured. I meant to post last night, but forgot: my girl was behaving much more like her old self last night. We got 30-something ml of Critical Care in around 10:00 PM, and Hunny showed interest in a hay-based toy; she spent a good 10 minutes chewing it to the extent she could. I got kisses, snuggles,…[Read more]

@Bu20055 Thank you!! Yeah they’re probably just hoping I’ll keep giving them veggies and pellets lol.

They definitely enjoy pellets and veggies better. It’s like giving a child the choice between cake and salad lol. 😉

Yeah I’ve heard reducing meals helps with hay consumption. Some buns come to rely on veggies and pellets if they know they’ll have enough to fill them up. Dried herbs in the hay can help encourage them to eat more because of the m…[Read more]

@Louiethebunny Thank you! I’ll look into getting bigger boxes!

@Louiethebunny Thank you so much! I’m gonna try doing every other day too. Where do you put the bunnies when you’re cleaning? One of my bunnies hates when I touch stuff in his pen. I have to put him in the carrier to clean but it still makes him mad. I do the same with the other bunny just in case he’ll get mad too, but he doesn’t mind as much. I…[Read more]

Yes, that looks fine! What litter are you using?
