Bam replied to the topic Trouble caused by a chew toy in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
I’d continue the simethicone and give water via syringe. Hydration is key. If he will drink more with a bit of apple juice or other juice added to his water bowl, give him that. Give him plain water as well, in case he wont drink water that tastes “funny”.
Also try and make him move around. You can try and elevate his butt a little bit now and…[Read more]

BrunosMama started the topic Trouble caused by a chew toy in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
Hi all,
Yesterday, we gave the buns some special chew toys – fruit flavored chews and some flavored loofah bites. Backers enthusiastically wolfed down a loofah bite.
However, about 10 minutes after eating, he began acting uncomfortable. This continued, stretching out his tummy and fidgeting. I moved him to the cool bedroom (our living room ac…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic what the hay in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
Its been a very long time since I bought alfalfa hay (Oxbow), so I dont really remember, it looked much like normal hay to me. Shorter strands and no seed heads. I think you will have to ask. But all other grasses in a mix are fine and a little bit of clover or alfalfa won’t be a problem.

Bernard2020 replied to the topic Constipation? Digestion Issues? in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
First I’d just like to mention I’m not an expert at all, I’ve only had a rabbit for 3 months. But my rabbit has a sensitive stomach and gets gas occasionally, so I thought I’d share what has helped me.
Do the gas drops have simethicone? That’s the kind that really helps. One thing that seems to always help Bernard is making sure she keeps mov…[Read more]

WinnietheLops started the topic Switched Over Rabbits Hay in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
So I switched my rabbits, Winnie, hay over from bagged to fresh cut from farm hay. It is 2nd cut Timothy hay, so really nothing different fiber wise. She is an 8 month old mini Holland lop and I’ve never had digestive issues with her.
But ever since the hay switch, I’ve noticed her poops have gotten darker and smaller, where as before they were…[Read more]

Louiethebunny replied to the topic Louie and Lola bonding updates in the forum BONDING 6 years, 1 month ago
UPDATE: My mom has really been wanting to put Louie and Lola together again to try and speed up bonding, (I will admit, it feels slow to me too) and because they have been acting great side by side and some prebonding cage and toy swaps went well, we put them together in a mostly neutral space, (Louie has wandered over once or twice.) It went…[Read more]

Louiethebunny replied to the topic sleep twitching in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
😀 Louie is an eye-open sleeper, and he has light brown eyes, so when he sleeps all flopped over in the sunlight, I get worried, but he’s always fine. Lola sleeps with her eyes closed, but every now and then I catch her dozing off while sitting up with her eyes open, and it’s a funny sight.

Louiethebunny replied to the topic Constipation? Digestion Issues? in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
She might be slowed down by some hair, but because she is eating and behaving pretty normally, I would just keep an extra eye out for a few days. What you have going for her seems really good, so maybe monitoring her through the next day and make sure everything is good. As long as she is still eating hay, then she is doing pretty fine, and…[Read more]

I tried to upload a pic it’s a bit blurry bc she is quick! I recently bought a new litter and after placing countless poos in to her box she is using it!!! Yet when she is out of her hutch (which is all hours except when I am asleep or gone) she drops on the couch! I am a very tidy person so this is driving me nuts 🤣 I am following her around pi…[Read more]

Louiethebunny replied to the topic Best type of carrier? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
Louie’s current carrier is a hard-sided one that opens at the top which was great for when he knew my tricks and wouldn’t go in himself. Luckily, there are a ton of a similar style for all sizes on Facebook being sold or given away for cheap, so I’m sure I’ll find a good one, and maybe splurge on a fun looking soft-sided one too.

SO CUTE! Bonds with tiny and large buns are sometimes the absolute funniest, imagine seeing them both flopped over together, one being tiny and the other stretching out a ton, haha. I bet Joey makes him look even tinier! They are going to be a match made in heaven!

Just wait until you see her sleeping with her eyes open, full body twitches. I guarantee you’ll be compelled to poke her just to be sure!

@HipHopBunny He is soooo tiny! I’m going to have to put a little step for him when I get a litter box. Joey really is just ears and butt. LOL.
He has a white spot on his nose, a white spot on his chest, and one white paw, and the other paw has a white underfoot.

I just noticed, does Tater Tot have little white paws? He is too cute! 🙂

HipHopBunny replied to the topic Tater Tot Has Arrived in the forum THE LOUNGE 6 years, 1 month ago
@Sonn He is more like a hamster than a rabbit! But he is adorable nonetheless. 🙂 Your description of Joey made me laugh, 15lbs bun butt 😆 They are a strange-looking pair, but each amazing in their own merit. They will make an outstanding pair. 🙂

Sonn replied to the topic Tater Tot Has Arrived in the forum THE LOUNGE 6 years, 1 month ago
Now that he is home I just can’t get over how small he is. I guess seeing him with other bunnies made him look bigger if that makes any sense.
I mean this hay box he is in is 8″ wide and 12″ long and 4″ high and he can barely hop into it!

I’m not really hearing anything in the video.
If one antibiotic doesn’t work, then there is no harm in trying another one. Sometimes the bacteria is resistant to certain families of antibiotics. If a different antibiotic still doesn’t help, then it may be time to start thinking about chronic problems like tooth roots. Elongated tooth roots can…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Best type of carrier? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
I definitely recommend a hard carrier with a door on the top. They are sold as cat carriers since cats have a reputation for being difficult to remove from their carrier. However, the same concept is true with rabbits. It’s just easier than blindly reaching inside and trying to pull them out once at the vet.
