jerseygirl 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
I was better off looking on my phone & zooming in.
Just linking this page for you as I think it can help us rabbit owners distinguish some things we are looking at with x-rays.

jerseygirl 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
While it is not ce if Bam to say I have exp with reading x-rays, I honestly feel confounded by them usually and need vet to explain what I’m seeing. I guess I’m somewhat familiar with some dental X-rays and facial abscess due to seeing those wiry few of my own rabbits over 10 years?? But I am not trained to read them. Like anyone, I can find oth…[Read more]

Im sorry you are dealing with but I must say, well done on getting her fed and keeping the gut moving! And well done knowing that oral amoxicillin would have been bad. Your girl is in good hands with you.
Would the vet in possession of the x-rays & blood results be willing to consult with a rabbit specialist online? I know there are some online…[Read more]

kendall replied to the topic Dominance Troubles in the forum BONDING 6 years, 1 month ago
I thought they were fully bonded, and they have been doing great, but today I saw Theo hump Calliope. I have only seen it once, but I have heard Calliope run away a few times and I am guessing that is why. It hasn’t resulted in anything but I am nervous because if Calliope were to hump Theo, he gets quite mad and I don’t know what might happen if…[Read more]

Oh, mine love to do it. They will bend down and do it right in their mouth! 😆 For the longest time I didn’t know why they would always come back up chewing, but then I found out… 😉

It isn’t unusual for young bunnies on a rich diet to produce extras. They aren’t a concern unless they stick to their butt and cause poopy butt issues.

Captain Jackie started the topic Rabbit Refusing Medication in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
Hello, I am absolutely stuck and have no idea what to do. I have two unspayed does who I have recently found out are carrying pinworms. I am at a total loss as to how to administer their medication. It’s through a syringe. I’ve tried various burrito methods (between the legs, under the arm, two people, etc) and none of them have worked. They jer…[Read more]

It’s been months since this has happened and I’m sorry for my very late reply, but things are looking up now! He seems fine, I fed him lots of hay & leafy greens, and he’s drinking water. Thank you! ☺️

Bernard2020 replied to the topic She thinks her bed is a litter box in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
I’ve tried taking the bed away and at first she would use it a couple times but then she would designate somewhere else on the floor to go. But on her half of the room I put blankets or a large rug down because I have hardwood and she can’t walk on hardwood.
In the picture that’s her litter box, I think the blanket could be what confused her. -
LuluRabbit started the topic Seeing caecootrophs? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
Is it normal to sometimes see bunnies’ caecotrophs? My 4 year old Alfredo I’ve never seen one from him (he eats them all) but my new 8 week old I’ve been seeing a few here and there… wondering if that is something concerning.

I’m going to go ahead and lock this thread. It isn’t that old but the OP was from a month ago and for some reason this keeps resurfacing. 😉

DanaNM replied to the topic She thinks her bed is a litter box in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
Some bunnies just can’t really have soft beds because they pee on them (my Bertha was like this). So it could be that Bernard is the same.
If you remove all the soft bedding from her pen, will she use her litter box? The pic of her sleeping is so cute. 🙂 Is that her litter box or her bed? I guess if I’m confused it makes sense that she’s…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Aggression in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
Agree with Wick, Cage aggression and defensive-ness often comes from fear (not always though! and sometimes people are well-meaning but just don’t know). I have been fostering a bunny (Bonnie) that was getting cage aggressive after being at the shelter a very long time, so I can tell you what has worked with her.
At the shelter she would box and…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Litter and Cage Cleaning in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
I dump my whole litter boxes every other day. I’m too lazy to spot clean lol. Since I have a cheap source of pellets and hay that’s the easiest way to go for me, and I notice there aren’t many un-soaked pellets left by the time I dump it. I add new hay to top it up in between changes as well, so there is always fresh hay on top. When I notice…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Litter and Cage Cleaning in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
Maybe once a month it seems to have some build up to wipe? Not very often. I clean the litterboxes daily, so I scoop out soiled litter and replace it. I know that is a higher frequency than others, but honestly I am still curious how people can only clean the litterbox once every couple days, haha.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Bunny is loud at night in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
If it’s bar chewing, it can be helpful to cover the outside of the pen so the rabbit cannot see the other side. Typically they chew bars to try and “get out” or remove the obstacle, but if they don’t see anything on the other side, then it is not as tempting.
In terms of toys, human sleep-time overlaps with a rabbit’s natural active time (late…[Read more]
