Happy Birthday LBJ10!  Hope you had/are having a great day and will celebrate all weekend!

@Louiethebunny Thanks 🙂

@DanaNM Yeah probably lol. Thanks!

@Bam Thank you! To tell the difference when I see it, alfalfa and clover have leaves on the stems?

Where I live, all hay is a mix of various grasses. The call it “meadow hay” but its normally a mix of timothy, fescue, brome, orchard and several others.The thing to look out for if there is legume hay (alfalfa or clover) in the mix. You don’t want too much of that for adult rabbits, but its fine for young buns up to 6-7  months.

Here is a list…[Read more]

Okay, thanks!

LOL. They prob have a variety and were not paid enough to name them all. 😉  And yes, any grass hay is good for rabbits.

The nice thing is you don’t need to worry about transitioning between hays with bunnies like you do with their pellets if you switch types.

As long as the vet said it’s ok then that’s fine! That’s nice you are able to communicate with them directly!

And glad she’s pooping more. 🙂

Here is a thread on this from a couple years ago that might give you some more people’s experiences:

I can’t speak to the oat hay from Oxbow because I haven’t tried it, but my buns love the Binky Bunny oat hay (it comes in a tiny bale). They do eat all of it, but I only give them a small handful a day, in addition to timothy which is the bulk of their hay. So it is almost like a hay treat. 🙂 If I was giving them only oat I imagine they might be…[Read more]

I think trying some different types of hay would be my next step. Some buns aren’t that into timothy but love orchard or oat. A different source or cut of timothy might also be good, as it can vary in freshness. You could also maybe reduce pellets (assuming he’s fully grown), maybe go down to 2 tablespoons. If bunnies have pellets available all…[Read more]

All of those look fine to me.

It didn’t really seem to work in his case. 🙁

@jerseygirl I read somewhere (maybe on a megacolon site?) that a vet had tried a fecal transplant through an enema…. but I mentioned this to my vet when I was dealing with Pippen (that foster I had with cecal dysbiosis), and he said that would be very dangerous because of how thin the wall of the…[Read more]

Right! And maybe we could even reason with them a little haha.

With mats it can help to kind of try to pull on the sides of them (rather than the end) and work them out that way.

Are they from her being kind of soiled? Or is she currently molting and there’s just a lot of extra fluff?

If only we could read those little bunny minds!

As long as it’s grass hay, it’s probably fine, however alfalfa is not good for adult rabbits.

I have looked for bonding help and had no luck unfortunately. Due to covid it makes thing even more harder. I am in the US, California. I was offered a few numbers for people who do have a lot of experience and no one has gotten back to me. She use to have a stuffy and loved it! She would groom it and everything.  I’ll have to try leaving it with…[Read more]
