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

HipHopBunny replied to the topic Feeding schedule? in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
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]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Feeding schedule? in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 1 month ago
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]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Help! My bun is chewing drywall in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 1 month ago
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]

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?

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.

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]
