Christinae130 started the topic Help! My bun is chewing drywall in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago

hi everyone, this is my first post!
I have a 7 month old lionhead rabbit named Louie. He’s been eating at my walls when I let him out of his enclosure and I’m not sure what to do. He‘s been nurtured, has plenty of toys to chew, and always has fresh hay and pellets. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I’m not too familiar with the cranberry juice thing, but the one you got sounds like it would be mostly sugar, so prob wouldn’t have the effect you’re going for. I’m sure she would like it, but it would just be sugar 😉
Can you post a pic of the possible sludge?

Moonlightbunny66 started the topic Feeding schedule? in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
I’m wondering if you guys feed your bunnies on a schedule? I have recently been waking up between 8-10am. Sometimes if I don’t sleep well, or I sleep too late, I’ll wake up in the afternoon. Should I feed veggies in the morning, pellets in the afternoon, then the rest of the veggies at night? Or would it be better to do all the veggies in the m…[Read more]

Ever since I’ve had Bernard (almost three months) her urine has had lots of calcium. I’m not sure I would say it’s sludge because it’s not that much and not as thick. Also sometimes when she urinates only a little bit comes out. She doesn’t seem to be in pain. I heard cranberry juice in her water may help. But I read the container wrong, I thought…[Read more]

@princedorian: no problem, I’m happy to help. So awesome you’re hoping to get Dorian a friend, I think he’d enjoy it. I am not dealing with two full pens, I have Louie’s pen and a dog crate for Lola. It’s a little more cleanup and litter changing, but overall not too bad. She is very good with eating hay, so I just refill her hay a little more…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Dental spur surgery in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
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.
The…[Read more]

@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).

DanaNM replied to the topic Are these lettuces safe? 🥬 in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
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.

DanaNM replied to the topic Sick bunny :,( in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 1 month ago
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]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Are these lettuces safe? 🥬 in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
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
