If the tooth root is overgrown it will need to be extracted. If the tooth is already rotten and infected, it will probably come out very easily. It will be important to find a vet that is experienced with rabbit dentals though.

Unfortunately I am not sure that you will be able to cure the infection without removing the tooth.

SO CUTE!

@Wilburbunny he looks like he could be Wilbur’s brother!

Congrats on the new bunny!

Most bunnies don’t like being picked up, and don’t learn to like it with more handling, so it’s best to only pick up when absolutely needed for nail trims, etc.

Unneutered boys will also nip more… usually when they are getting ready to mount.

If he nips hard enough that it bothers you, you can try making a kind of…[Read more]

It was love at first sniff.  Dawn got a whiff of Loki, and she LITERALLY climbed, dug under, went around, and chewed through every barricade I put in her way to get to him.  They’ve not been apart since.

@Wick Thank you so much! Yes those poops are meant to be smelly LOL. And I’ve only had one pee incident the other day which was just a little in the corner, so I moved the litter box into that corner and I haven’t had any pee accidents since. I also wiped it up and put it in the litter box so he knows not to do that anymore. How often do you jus…[Read more]

Yes, unlimited doesn’t necessarily mean truly unlimited. The correct amount would be the maximum amount they can eat without compromising hay consumption. Wick made a good suggestion. You can take the pellets away during certain periods of the day to encourage more hay eating.

I’m not aware of any interactions. As Bam said, these two drugs are probably given together fairly often because EC can cause seizures and these drugs are both considered to be good choices.

There’s not too much you can do about the onion-y smell of poops… they are mighty as they serve their purpose well, haha. That scent you smell is very mild I’m sure compared to how rabbits actually smell it– I’m sure they work really well as territory markers! Thankfully, no one is spraying pee on your walls instead, haha.

You can do a small…[Read more]

@Yahzi – the house rabbit society has great resource on diet, https://rabbit.org/FAQ-diet/ hope that helps you, they have more on young bunnies and greens too.

I’m so sorry 😔

I always just lie on the floor by my bunnies wherever they’re hanging out and they ask me for pets, nuzzle me, stand in my back. Meet him where he’s comfortable and he’ll appreciate you all the more! Since you love your little one so much are you eventually getting him a friend? No pressure but buns are so happy in a bonded pair!

Aww Bonnie is absolutely adorable! I didn’t even know rabbits made noises. I hope one day Bernard will let me pet her like that. If I did that now she would definitely be giving me dirty looks for at least a few hours 🤪

So terrified right now. We got a call from one of the vets Hunny has seen, and she laid out all the possible treatment options for dental abscesses. She is also a strong supporter of surgery, but my parents are against it, mostly for the care that would be required for Hunny’s teeth the rest of her life after. Penicillin injections were mentioned,…[Read more]

I also just adopted a rabbit (his name is Baylor). He also nips at me occasionally, but can be sweet as well. Getting your bun neutered is a great idea as it reduces hormonal behavior and can help with litter training too! I agree that the pellets with other things in it besides pellets is not the healthiest choice and I recommend Oxbow Pellets.…[Read more]

Wow, @MichiganRabbits it is very impressive how much you are doing to learn about rabbits. 🙂 Your bun scored lucky landing a home with you. 🙂

Hi @Yahzi

I am so happy for you in finding the perfect bun! He sounds wonderful. 🙂 In regards to nipping – it is perfectly normal. And it does hurt sometimes 😆 but they do it all of the time to other buns, but to rabbits, it doesn’t hurt, for they have all of that fur to protect them. They typically nip saying ‘move out of my way, hoomin!’…[Read more]
