Hi there,
So the short answer is that your vet is recommending the normal procedure. 🙂 Sometimes buns will get spurs around middle age due to changes in bone density and tooth alignment, and in these cases often will just need 1 tooth burring. Other buns get them earlier in life and need burrings periodically throughout their life.

@Wick Thank you!
@DanaNM Thanks! Oh I know kale is not a lettuce it’s just that these are the only things we have in the garden that buns can eat. I did not know that it’s in the Brassica group tho. Thanks for the info. 🙂 We actually also have parsley, I just remembered. Maybe I’ll give them a little bit to try.

Hi, just curious to find out others’ experiences with dental spur surgery. One of our rabbits, Pebbles (5 year old female mini-lop) has spurs which have remained the same since first identified by our vet around 6 months ago and in that time she has been eating and behaving normally. Our vet has said they’d like to operate to remove the spurs in…[Read more]

Aww that’s very sweet of you. 🙂 I’m sure they would appreciate a donation. Not sure how big their organization is, but they might have a donation “wish list” of toys and supplies they like for their bunnies. The rescue I volunteer at always appreciates donations of toys (homemade or otherwise).

Those looks fine to me (look to be varietals of romaine and green leaf). Whenever I’ve given my buns home grown lettuce they gobble them up with gusto. 🙂 Really the only lettuce to avoid is iceberg.
Kale is not technically a lettuce, it’s in the Brassica group, along with cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, mustard, collards, etc.

So sorry he isn’t doing well 🙁 @Asriel and Bombur has had a lot of EC experience, hopefully she will chime in here. Buns definitely can and do recover from EC, even when a prolonged treatment is needed.
I know Panacur can sometimes take 2 full rounds. Are you also giving supportive care for the gut and pain? Such as syringe feeding, pain meds,…[Read more]

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the lettuce you have pictured, but romaine and green leaf are the usual staples and are generally the “safest” vegetables (i.e. when a rabbit may have a sensitive stomach, romaine and green leaf are usually vegetables that virtually never upset a rabbit tummy!).

I just found out they mostly eat romaine and green leaf lettuce. So I’ll get romaine but introduce some other lettuces.

The wild bunnies eat the kale but I’m not in an infected area. I’m in Ontario, Canada.

Yayyyy! They told me they can definitely send some home with me! 😊 I feel like I should give them a donation for helping me. They’ve only got three buns listed for adoption on their site right now. Not sure if they have any other animals. I could get something for their bunnies? Hmmm

We have these lettuces growing in our backyard. They are called black seeded Simpson, and red riding hood. My mom said they are leaf lettuces. Are they safe for my bunnies? The animal rescue I’m getting the bunnies from didn’t specify what kind of lettuce they feed them. They just said lettuce. So I’ll introduce them slowly if they are safe. It’s…[Read more]

Hi guys,
Cocoa has been on Panacur for 3 weeks now and he doesn’t seem to be getting better :(. It’s been over a month since he hasn’t been the same. He still doesn’t want any hay or his food but will go for greens and fruit even though I barely give him any fruit, it’s just so hard seeing him get excited for it and not be able give him any. I ca…[Read more]

@Louiethebun (+Lola!). She is beautiful!! Look at them snuggling, I hope it’s a match made in bunny heaven! Their colors are very complimentary, it’s like chocolate and caramel. How are you dealing with 2 pens? Have you had them visit with each other at home yet. What are you doing for neutral territory? Was she the only bun he met up with?…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic How many pellets for 🐰? in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
Just ask them. 🙂 I’m sure they buy giant bags and asking for a small amount (like a sandwich baggie full) won’t be a problem. Consider that if you weren’t adopting these buns they would still have to feed them. 😉

Hi!
So I live around a small lake and on the paths around we have a ton of willow. What kinds of willow are safe? I heard somewhere that white willow wasn’t safe but I can’t remember if that’s for hamsters or rabbits.
The kind we have looks like this:

It’s a weeping variation. Does anyone know what specific kind it is and if it’s safe?
