Yes, EC can affect the kidneys. I agree with Bam that CC or Emeraid are probably your best bets.

I send a reply to you unsure where it went though.  They will all be 6months or older when I hope to take down the 2 remaining x-pens down.  really don’t like them.  Oopsie & Daizie will be 6m on the 12th of March and will be fixed on the 16th of this month, and Echo & Shadow will be 6m April 21st and will be fixed on April 20th.  I am hoping to…[Read more]

I completely agree that it’s not a competition and should not be treated as such. It’s very rude! And frustrating, for sure.

I’m sorry your bun isn’t well. EC often affects the kidneys and can do lasting damage to them. This can go on silently for a long time before the owner has a chance to notice a problem.

Hydration is key of course. Rolled oats and Critical Care is what I gave my bun Vilde who had difficulty keeping weight on. There is also Emeraid, if you’re in…[Read more]

Ah, ok, then at least if its just right outside, you could just cover the one small area and might not be as bad to keep up with versus several or a whole cage. Maybe the reusable pee pads would work, like someone else mentioned.

I think sometimes bunnies have arguments, the same as humans. We have a bonded pair, 2 boys, and 98% of the time, they…[Read more]

Unfortunately, there are long waiting times here, even for critical cases. I had an appointment with another vet, who thinks the issues are likely kidney related. Blood results from the first vet showed elevated urea, potassium, and creatinine, and the first vet’s x-ray also indicated kidney problems, but they didn’t recommend further act…[Read more]

I’m sure this is because rabbits are still commonly regarded as disposable fluffy little things that sit in a cage.

The connection between a human and a bun can be profound.

Imo opinion it’s really very rude of ppl to try and minimize another person’s grief and pain of loss. Grief isn’t a competition.

They are free roam during the day. I’m a stay at home Mom and homeschool my boys, so we’re home a lot and they’re out, but they’re in a 10×4 area at night. It uses to be a 10×12 area, but I was told to reduce the area to start over again and see if that helped. It did for about 2 days, then she started peeing again. She pees right outside the…[Read more]

That’s a good point. And bunnies certainly can become attached to their human as much as any dog. 🙂

I think it has more to do with the level of bond you have. People often think of the bond between a human and their dog is very strong. People often do not associate this bond with a rabbit, but people certainly can and do develop very strong bonds with their bunnies.

Poop wars are pretty common in intact buns (and even happens with altered buns when they meet someone new or enter a new space). But it should lessen quite a bit after getting them fixed. 🙂

Hmm… maybe I should try that one.

From what I understand, it is used as a cover crop. So when the field is rotated back to orchard, it can end up with some alfalfa sneaking in there.

I buy orchard grass from Small Pet Select and I haven’t noticed any alfalfa hay in it. I get the 2 pound boxes.

We just use timothy. I’ve noticed several batches have had a lot of brown in them.

I wonder if alfalfa is a cheaper grass and is being used as a filler more often? I’m not quite sure how all the growing etc works.

Are your buns free roam? If they live in a pen (or at least thats where the litter box is and the peeing is happening) you could try laying a fleece blanket over the pee pads so he doesn’t chew them.

My first thought was a second litter box, too. Do you use any sort of bedding in the litter box? Perhaps she is opposed to that if you do, or maybe…[Read more]

Wooooo, man, 6 bonded buns! That would be super cute, though! You’re very own Warren!

Keep in mind it takes about a month to 6 weeks for buns to “air out” after getting neutered, so hormones will still make things a little difficult. They are also all pretty young and young bunnies can get along, but change their minds as they reach puberty.

I…[Read more]

It’s possible. I’ve never thought about that. I have tried putting a second litter box in before and she still peed outside of it, so I removed it, but it’s still possible that he might be chasing her out. I’ve always just assumed it was territorial as he will periodically start chasing her while humming and trying to mount her, nip at her and fur…[Read more]
