I can tell that you really love them and he’s so lucky that you took him! I think he’ll be great, just give him time.

You didn’t mention how much he weighs and honestly from your picture I can’t tell if he’s a standard sized or dwarf. If he’s a dwarf that may actually be enough pellets to keep him full without eating any hay and you may want to see about cutting back slightly. You could examine his teeth for anything obvious but a vet that is good with rabbits is…[Read more]

Do you have any critical care or a pet store in the area where you can get some? I’m not sure if it would help in the case of a blockage but it came on so fast I’m wondering if it caused gas, like you’re treating for, and if that’s the case then it would help keep his git moving until he’s no longer uncomfortable and feels like eating.

@Bam Thank you!

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]

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.

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]

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]

😀 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.

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]

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!
