Ah yes, prob her fur type then. She probably just needs more grooming over all if she’s part angora.

Have you taken a look at his scent glands? Sometimes they need to be cleaned and can make buns a bit stinky.

My neutered boy will leave onion-y poops when they are territorial ones. Does it seem like they are only when he is marking or is it all of them?

I recently realized one of my rabbits seems to have audible tummy gurgles pretty often. I was worried about it, as my other rabbit only has it when he is visibly gassy and uncomfortable. For the female (gurgly-one), she has it, but eats so much hay, drinks a lot of water, poops plenty, sprints plenty, etc.. Since all the health behaviors are there…[Read more]

Thank you for taking in this rabbit. There are a couple things that stand out to me in reading your situation that will hopefully be helpful for you:

1. It sounds like the previous owner(s) were not very rabbit-experienced. Following a spay/neuter, there is typically a hormonal surge that happens which exaggerates hormonal behaviors, so rabbits…

His diet is pellets and timothy hay. When I started hearing these noises I took the pellets away for a bit but that didn’t seem to help. He normally just ate pellets and was always fine, but I recently started adding hay to his second cage… I have him a baby gas tab, and pineapple juice, now I am limiting his food. I also have been giving him…[Read more]

While neutering does significantly decrease, and in many cases completely eliminate, the onion-y poops, they can still occur. My female rabbit still does it even though she is spayed, and I am sure a big part of it is because firstly, she had been introduced into my home a year ago so it was new and smelled of another rabbit, and secondly, she and…[Read more]

Thanks for the tip!

She isn’t molting right now and they seem to be a little higher up on her back in a place that wouldn’t get soiled very easily. Could it just be because of her fur type? She looks like a huge angora 😀

That’s great news! Congrats!

That is GREAT!!! 🙂 Yes, definitely keep a very close eye on them, for you never know when a fight might break out. It could be in a month, could be in a few months, you never know. But if you are there 24/7 then I would say it is good! 🙂 On the first night you put them in their new pen, I would sleep next to them to make sure that no…[Read more]

Just an update, they have made it 52 hours without any problems. They are officially bonded!!! I am going to keep a close eye on them for the next few days just to make sure nothing develops, but I am so happy that I finally have a happy pair! Thanks again for all of the help I am so grateful!

Happy birthday!!

Some more info for you on calcium…humans, cats and dogs all poop out excess calcium which is why you’ve never seen this before. Rabbits also have a different shaped bladder where for some reason the out hole (I’m not great with anatomy, the urethra I guess) is at the top of the bladder.  So the calcium can build up in the bladder and cause…[Read more]

Happy Birthday!!!

He could be a bit gassy. Can you describe his diet to see if we can identify a cause?

You can try giving a tummy rub and some simethicone (baby gas drops) as well.
