I cant say I have experience with this,but when a bun has a gas issue, its recommended you lift up the bun’s butt a little bit to help gas escape. This jolting movement your bun does could be to allow cecals to pass more easily. That he does it more markedly now could be an effect of aging, or a change in intake of food, fiber and/or water. Is he…[Read more]

Sounds like good progress. Typically, rabbit cages are pretty small for bunnies, but because of your situation, I’m sure it’s suitable for a while, though you may want to consider and xpen. Nail trimming isn’t too fun for me either, with my male, I place him up on a tall shelf that is unfamiliar, and he just lets me manipulate his paws and legs so…[Read more]

Aww! They are adorable!

Oh… how about Ferris for the gray one!

I’m sorry to hear Hunny is having a hard time.

Considering she had so much trouble the last time her teeth were trimmed, it would be reasonable for the vet to prescribe pain medication. Assuming you didn’t receive any this time around, would it be possible to call the vet and ask? I know your family is resistant to asking the vet for things……[Read more]

I would give the new bunny some time to adjust to their new home. After all, some are more skittish than others. Once baby is settled, you can start building a bond with him just as you would an adult rabbit. Sit quietly nearby and wait for baby to come to you. Ignore him at first. His curiosity will get the better of him. Try hand feeding…[Read more]

The past 48 hours have been an emotional rollercoaster. Hunny is barely eating; she only takes the occasional bite of soaked pellets and hardly touches her water. Critical Care feedings are a nightmare.

Hunny is pooping and peeing in accordance with her food and water intake. I worry because the poops are all shapes and sizes (somewhere between…[Read more]

Generally speaking, big poop is a good thing. It means increase in hay consumption and more fiber to poop out.

With it being only a couple, I actually wonder if it’s just filled with fur. Alternative to the string-of-pearl poops, there is also fur encased in poops when the rabbit passes fur through its system. If you still have one of the poops,…[Read more]

It’s important to mention that dental problems being associated with low hay eating is a really common pairing, but it doesn’t necessarily mean dental problems was the initial cause of the reduced hay eating. Reduced hay eating typically causes a lack of dental maintenance, leading to dental problems, which feeds into the original “not eating a…[Read more]

I agree with @DanaNM that it would be good to cover the wood. It’s one of those things where you can’t really “deep clean” it once pee gets absorb. When I first got my Wick, we had a converted dresser as his cage and the wooden ramp was a pee hot spot. I’d soak it in vinegar/water spray, but it was impossible to actually clean.

@DanaNM Yeah I’m trying not to bug them too much but I had to clean up a bit. They are in my bedroom so I’m in here all the time lol. I gave them more hay in the litter box because they seem to be eating that more than the hay in the racks. Bedtime now so we will all be sleeping! 🙂

That day was ROUGH thanks y’all for being nice 🙂 I also made a post in a facebook group and got  a ton of “rehome him” “maybe a rabbit isn’t for you”

And I think he was gassy and having a bad day too 🙁 He was farting a ton and hasn’t acted the same way since I also gave him a towel and he loves to dig in it! It has been a life saver

When we…[Read more]
