Hi Ros, this is a very old thread, and since you have your own issue it’s recommended to start a new thread with your topic. The short answer to your question is it sounds like the treats are the problem, so I would cut those out. You can experiment with other types of treats to see if that helps. Some buns do well with dried herbs or greens as a…[Read more]

So I decided to get my bunny into the vet for this Friday for an exam. I’m really hoping this bump ends up being nothing to worry about

So do you think I should call my vet? The only way I can tell is when I pat him. It’s right above or next to his tail. I was thinking it could be some hair that is matted but it’s hard to tell.

It isn’t unusual for young bunnies to allow people to hold and cuddle them. Coincidentally, this also allows you to become very familiar with them which makes it easier to notice changes. Considering his age, it probably isn’t a tumor. But, it could be an abscess from an injury when he was really small. Lipomas are generally seen in overweight rabbits.

Hi there! I have a male Lionhead that producing lots of Cecotropes and mostly after giving him treats.  The only treat he gets is Oxbow Simple Reward Timothy treats.  They look like a cheerio and I’ve only been giving him one at night.  Today he left a pile of squished together Cecotropes in his pen and on the outside of his pen.  The only thing…[Read more]

I was thinking perhaps you could ask your vet about supplementing Ben with N-acetylcystein. It is used for liver detox and to help improve liver function in humans with certain liver ailments, and it seems it can be given to rabbits with no ill effects. The liver is great at rejuvenating itself, but it obviously takes time. It could perhaps be …[Read more]

I would bond one to the group at a time since it’s not two and two yet. To me, that’s easier to monitor through to whole process.

I don’t think he’s having trouble getting in :/ I gave him a new litter box with a low side entry right when this all started and maybe he just didn’t get used to it? I feel like it’s a habit thing. Like when he was recovering from the surgery he didn’t move much and I kept his water and food super close to him. Today I’m trying a new thing where…[Read more]

That’s great! I’m glad to hear she is doing well!

Thank you for the update!

Thoughts: Could he be having trouble getting into the litter box? Maybe you could try cutting out the side so he can just “step” in. As for the Critical Care, some bunnies don’t like it. You could try something different. Sherwood makes a recovery food that others here on the forum have had luck with.

Hi, wanted to give an update.

Benjamin has lost a lot of weight the last two weeks so the vet and I came up with a new feeding plan. He’s getting a tablespoon of Oxbow Garden Select pellets each day and I will weigh him weekly. He’s getting benebac once a week too. The amount of pellets will increase by half a tablespoon if he isn’t maintaining…[Read more]

Hello everyone, Budja’s came home on Monday and has been doing really well. She’s on quite a few medicines, and on eye drops with an eye lubrication for superficial ulcers on each eye from when she was under for surgery. Her marsupialization hole has been healing very rapidly already, I flush it twice a day with saline water and pack it with a…[Read more]

Thank you! I will try that!

I’m sorry your rabbit nipped you, but rabbits sometimes do nip – not just if they’re scared. They can nip for attention or if they think you’re in their way etc. It’s obv good not to encourage it, ie if a bun nips to get a treat, dont give a treat.

There’s nothing you have to do if she didnt break the skin. If she had broken the skin you just…[Read more]
