@DanaNM I would’ve felt bad too lol. That is very odd… Did it work?

It varies a bit between individuals. When my bun Vilde came to me, he had a cage with him from his old home. I put it in my bedroom, left the cage door open but blocked access to the rest of the apartment with a grid. He stayed in his cage for about 2 days, then he started to explore. He settled in very quickly, but he was 6 years old and has an…[Read more]

Something I’ve seriously pondered before… do you think we might see things like fecal implants happening more in veterinary medicine?🤔 Perhaps even cecal implant for rabbits.

This topic is good timing for me! I currently have TimTim on depocillin shots and have been worrying about his gut health. I’ve been adding some ACV to his water and sprinkling some probiotic powder in veggies, but basically with the attitude of “it might not help but it can’t hurt”….

@DanaNM, I’ve been giving T any intact cecals I find from…[Read more]

Ok, hopefully it will go well! Thanks

That definitely does make sense. I feel the bad blood between the girls is purely territorial though. (It always happens when the other bun goes up to the other pen) As patches had never tried to nip her in the basket even when i was just focused on petting velvet and allowing the other 3 to do their own thing if they wished. Or they wpuld…[Read more]

Again I’m so sorry. 🙁 Hopefully the necropsy will bring you some answers. You did the right thing by trying to take her for a check-up, we just never really know how long we have with them. 🙁

In some time you might like to make a memorial post about her to help remember the amazing years you had with her.

I can’t say for sure, but personally I have never gone for the marathon when buns are trying to fight badly. I tend to save it till the end, when I know they are close but just need more time. I know it can work for some, but to me it just seems way too stressful for everyone. I certainly wouldn’t want to go for it with Ziggy at this time. It…[Read more]

Sounds like he’s growing up! He’s probably pooping on your bed because he wants to claim it, and that’s typical territorial behavior. After he is old enough, you may want to get him fixed, it really can help with hormonal behaviors and such. As for the exploring, you might just have to bunny proof more.

Sounds like it’s going well. 🙂 For now I would try to minimize the other bunny smells since they are still cementing their relationship. So you might want to change pants etc. before visiting them. After their bond is cemented, I would very slowly introduce them to the other bunnies’ smells. You might even need to block their view of the other…[Read more]

LOL it was only recommended when I was fostering a bun that was having some pretty severe issues with his gut flora balance. And only because that bun already lived in the same household. The vet assumed that the bun would already have been exposed to any potential parasites, so there wasn’t a risk of making the bun sicker by doing it. He ended up…[Read more]

Sounds great!

I find that odd that the antibiotics for the respiratory infection did not cure it. My rabbit OB had a respiratory infection just a few months ago and the medicine they gave cleared it up pretty quickly. All of the things you described sounded like one. Has he been looking up? If he starts looking up then definitally take him to the…[Read more]
