I do have a very good vet I can call. I was just going to wait another hour because that’s when the meds are supposed to kick in. She’s been drinking on her own fine.  I’ll try the critical care. I’ll try the pineapple too, thanks

Are her ears cold? It would be good to keep her temperature up as well. I actually went through a very bad gas episode with one of my rabbits two nights ago, and I was fortunate that he started eating and pooping again right before we could call the vet office when they opened. I noticed he would get cold fast, so I would pet him occasionally and…[Read more]

It’s good that she pooped, but she should eat. I would try and get some critical care in her as well as some water. Do you have a vet you can get to at this time ?

The last I have seen her eat was over 12 hours ago. She pooped one last night, I’m not sure what time.

Thanks :). I’m really passionate about animals, especially small animals like buns and hammies, so I try to help people out whenever I can.
I’m not sure how much she has the space to store, but she could probably buy flakes instead of by the bale, if space is an issue. I’ll be checking out some feed stores around us soon when I get a bun, so when…[Read more]

If your rabbit hasn’t poo’d or eaten in 12 hours, it is an emergency and she needs to be taken to the vet.  How long ago was “last night”? How long ago since she last ate / poo’d?

Here’s my current set up! It’s a bit messy haha. I use dowels to support the levels. The levels and base are plywood with peel and stick vinyl tiles. The upper levels also have fleece clamped on top and grass mats. Since mine is very tall I also added some dowels on the corners for support. The base is a very thick piece of plywood with holes…[Read more]

This was the NIC condo I made for my two rabbits (though they never bonded enough to use it together, haha).

This is the expansion I had to put on top (grey-solid panels) because one of my rabbits jumped off the top… safely, but still. Very worrisome, haha.

That’s really nice of you that you are working to help her and improve the rabbit’s situation. 🙂

For finding vets, it helps to search for “exotics” vets. Many vets don’t explicitly mention rabbits, but are advertised as small or exotic animal vets. It is usually much easier to find a vet that does neuters than to do spays. Reaching out to…[Read more]

Ok thank you! At what point do I need to take her to the vet? She hasn’t eaten since last night. I have critical care, should I syringe feed her?

The most interesting breed I have seen recently was a velveteen lop! He had a plush rex coat and these HUGE lopped ears. He was SO cute.

You also don’t need to worry about overdosing with simethicone either. It is virtually harmless and is commonly given as the 1st line of defense when suspecting gas! 3/4 to 1 full syringe is typically what I give as a dose.

I have not had similar experiences, but I think the bonder you’ve worked with has summed it up pretty well and you’ve identified the worst case outcome.

It’s possible the quad could work better than the trio, but it’s very hard to know for sure. And of course the worst case is you end up with a bunch of single buns, or any other combination (a…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestions @wick and @DanaNM !

It’s cooled down a bit, but I have the bottle in the freezer on the ready. I did lightly wet his ears a bit when he seemed especially hot. He has been hanging out outside a lot (he can access the deck as part of his free roam), though not right now as the construction across the street is driving us…[Read more]

I agree with what’s been said so far, I would supervise them 24/7 for at least a few days after moving them in together. It’s possible they have sorted out their hierarchy in the garden, but moving into a new enclosed space might cause some problems. For example, I’ve been to “hoppy hour” events where unbonded rabbits will lay together, groom each…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan to me, but just to clarify, you aren’t going to allow them to free-roam together, right? I’m guessing you just meant they will get alternate time in the same space, but just want to double check!

My only comment is that 9 months is a long time to do all that swapping, so it might be very exhausting for you and the bunnies.…[Read more]

1 cc is the same as 1 mL, so that sounds correct to me!

Sometimes it takes them a while to realize the frozen bottles are actually nice. Some buns prefer them wrapped in a towel so they aren’t wet with condensation. Even if they don’t lay directly next to them, they cool down the floor at least. Frozen tiles are also popular with my buns.

I will also dampen their ears a bit to help their own cooling…[Read more]

That pen looks interesting though I think it’s really short. I’ll look around at stuff like that though!
I’ll contact some of the rescues around me when I get the time, that’s a good idea thanks!
