Yes, if owners can make it past the hormonal phase, an unneutered male can mellow out with time. Most owners, however, never make it that far! LOL If honking, circling and humping don’t do it, the spraying does.

EC doesn’t truly go away, but it does go into remission. Is the white spot a cataract? Or like a yellow-white blob? EC causes cataracts. However, it can also cause uveitis in younger rabbits (less than 2 years). Uveitis can be caused by other things as well (bacteria, etc.).

For cataracts, there isn’t much that can be done. The damage is done. If…[Read more]

That’s a good idea, thank you so much for helping!

Gotcha! Might be good to call and chat with the vet to get a bit more info? I think if you shared that you learned some more about EC and had some questions it might clarify things for you.

This was my first time there so I’m not sure if they’re good or not. The reason I picked them was because they were on the rabbit savy vet list on the House Rabbit Society website.

Yes, pregnancy sounds likely if both are 6 months old.

How rabbit savvy is your vet?

I trust my vet 100%, so if they said it was OK to just monitor, I wouldn’t worry. But if the vet is not that rabbit savvy (maybe they only occasionally see rabbits), I would probably get a second opinion. I do appreciate when vets don’t over-treat or over-test, because that can be a problem with some vets.

Females can be impregnated as soon as 12 weeks old, so it is important to take appropriate cautions since she is capable of breeding at this point.

Yes, his testicles were visible.

My bunnies are 6 months old, so I’m not sure if my female bunny can go through pregnancy quite yet. I was  planning on having my rabbits fixed, however because of covid-19 my vet is not performing the procedure during this time. I do plan to have both bunnies fixed when possible. I have scheduled an appointment…[Read more]

After reading that it seems more serious than what my vet said. She seemed to not be concerned about it, she just said to come back later. Should I just wait to see if she develops more symptoms? What would you do if it was your rabbit?

Super baby 😆

Here’s some background on EC:

http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/Neurology/Signs/Cuniculi_signs.html

It’s a protozoan parasite that can cause a range of symptoms, and it is suspected to the common that rabbits can carry it and not show symptoms.

EC tests are pretty unreliable, but…[Read more]

Oh I know he’s not neutered, I’m just wondering why he doesn’t display the typical crazy hormonal bunny mannerisms that they tend to have when unfixed. 🤔

If he is in fact a boy it should be pretty simple to see if he’s neutered, just pick him up and look! Assuming he’s not a super baby (which I don’t think he is)?

Actually, I’m not sure if she said she has E. Cuniculi but that she has the white in her eye.

Thank you, Bam!

OB  does have a soggy butt, is that a health issue? Silver will sometimes have pee smudges on her face (I think that is because she eats her poop out of the litter box lol) but they do gradually go away. But, after their spay, I was planning on rotating their pens, so that they could get used to each other’s smells, will they…[Read more]

So after seeing a bunch of threads made here about hormonal buns being naughty in various ways and displaying typical hormonal behavior, I’m starting to wonder why Fresno doesn’t do any of these things. He acts like he’s neutered – doesn’t honk, circle feet, nip, grunt, act all needy for constant attention (Nora did this before she was spayed…[Read more]
