Thank you guys. The only thing the vet told me to give him was critical care, which I have to syringe feed since he won’t eat it on its own. Should I ask the vet for those type of medications you suggested Dana?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Unfortunately im going to have to pause bonding. ZIiggy has shown some signs of GI Stasis. After bonding Saturday he took a cookie and ate his veggies with no issues. and then Sunday afternoon when I let him and patches out for free roam time he didn’t really want to come out. And then later on when It was…[Read more]

About 5 lbs.  pearl grey underneath body.  I was thinking satin and male.  My female went right up to the cage and put her head down. I’m new to bunnies so don’t know much about the breeds.

I use a ceramic bowl. When I rescued her she was living outside in my backyard and I have no idea where she got water. I was thinking maybe she just got used to getting water from her veggies? I always put a lot of water on them before giving them to her. I did put a little juice from my watermelon today in her water and she drank it all down.…[Read more]

Not to detract too much from your primary question, but what type of water vessel are you using, and how often do you find yourself refilling it and/or cleaning it? Over 3 months, I would hope you’d see her drink water more than 5 times.

Beautiful! I’m sure her and Louie will become fast friends.

Cardboard is cheap and easy. Just cut it to fit around the corners.

Bunnies tend to like “solid” things to chew on. You might consider making a chew out of a larger board so it can remain stationary while being chewed on.

I agree with Dana. It sounds like he needs some more time. During that time though, he should have some supportive care.

How big is he? I can’t tell if it’s the lighting or not, but he does look a bit satin-ish.

@Wick Thank you! Good to know, I’ll stick with two meals. 🙂

@HipHopBunny Thanks! That’s really nice of you to say. 😊 I just want them to be happy and healthy buns.

@Louiethebunny Thank youu! Good info, it would be better for me to have a little bit of fluctuating times if I need to!

My male rabbit’s name is Louie too! Some people recommend NIC grids to help bunny proof walls and baseboards.

I don’t have a strict schedule, I just feed some greens and pellets around 8-9 am, sometimes later if I noticed Louie hasn’t eaten much hay that night, then I feed them again at 7-9 ish, they just eat hay, so if the time window fluctuates a little it’s totally fine. I also replenish their hay at those times and any time I notice it’s running low.

I just cleaned her cage but I’ll post a pic as soon as I can. The bottle does say no sugar added but on the back it says 29g, I’ll have to go back and get a different one

I do my buns twice a day and break up the portions of pellets and veggies into two to give at both times. I do them in the morning when  I wake up, and in the evening around 5-6 p.m. It is great how you are planning ahead and making sure everything works smoothly, your buns are going to be so lucky to have you, and very spoiled…[Read more]

At the end of the day, rabbits have hay, and that should actually make up the majority of the food consumed in a day. Whether you start with veggies, pellets, or a mixture doesn’t really matter! The one thing I caution rabbit owners against is having too many meals in the day. Two is the norm, and I think is the most appropriate— any more than…[Read more]

That looks exactly like all my dry wall corners, haha…..

They are very tempting. My rabbit lost interest over time and after I shoo’d her enough, but there were still a few she enjoyed, so I bought cat scratches and cut them to cover the corners. I also get in the habit of having a couple pieces lying around to re-direct her when she is in a…[Read more]
