My cat uses the rabbit box too, not all the time which totally pisses me off.  I constantly add fresh hay to it, so he uses that to cover anything he does, and the rabbit only sits in this one little corner of this ridiculously large under-the-bed storage box for a litter box, so at least he’s not getting in the mess.  I also use aspen litter.  An…[Read more]

Bunnies are definitely a learning curve! I researched for months before getting my guys, and it still didn’t feel like enough. You’re always learning new things about them. Don’t be too hard on yourself 🙂 you’re doing great!

Again, I agree with A&B. 8 weeks is the appropriate age for a bun to get a new home. With cats, the recommended age is 12 weeks, with dogs 8 weeks. As a rule the bun is separated from the mother at 6 weeks (when the babies are fully weaned and mum’s patience is starting to run low), but remains with the siblings for 2 more weeks.

Seeing that she…[Read more]

AH! ok thank goodness I was worried that I got her too young!

Lol! that makes sense.

Thank you so much for your help. I’ve been going mad with worry over her!

2 months is the appropriate age to get a bunny, and oxbow is a reputable brand. So you actually had a really good breeder. Those are rare to find!

it seems like maybe it truly was her diet and that it was rich for her age and that her tummy just wasn’t ready to handle it. I will also say that at 5 months, she’s going to smell a bit ripe due to…[Read more]

I got her at 2 months, which is probably too young but I was new and wasn’t sure what age was appropriate to get a bun. I wont be going back to that lady!

When I first got her I had her on unlimited alfalfa hay and pellets, the oxbow brand. I did give her little treats of veg and fruit and then she had some poop that i was concerned about and…[Read more]

I agree with Asriel and Bombur, what your bun has is likely cecal dysbiosis. It is a frustrating problem. Some buns are just prone. I had a bun like that. What did most good was diet low in pellets and fresh greens, high in hay/fresh grass. I also gave him a probiotic powder when he had bouts of what is commonly called sticky poop.

The origin of…[Read more]

It’s really important to know what her diet was really like. How many pellets were you feeding her? What’s in her pellet mix (brand, does it contain seeds/nuts/dried fruit)? What were you feeding her for vegetables and how much? Were you feeding treats or fruit and how often? Bunnies have pretty sensitive tummies so it’s important to feed them the…[Read more]

that’s too funny @Louiethebunny , I guess Louie the bun wanted none of that 😀 . Dorian has a couple, but he really likes that elephant, he was running about and knocked it over once and quickly ran back to check on it and give it a good wash.
