Ok thanks, I’ll keep trying

Sounds like she’s doing quite well, it’s slow going but any improvement is great!

So cute! And perfect name for sure. 😀

Part of me wonders if maybe he just peed in a specific area of the box that day, so the urine kind of built up more than normal in one area?

I’ve also heard that sometimes additional protein in the diet can cause urine to smell more strongly because more urea is produced, but I need to find the primary source on that (and I might have my…[Read more]

Many people (myself included) use pine pellet litter, sold either as feline pine, horse stall pellets, or wood stove pellets. They work well and are very cheap and safe (if you can get them as horse stall bedding or stove pellets without any additives).

If you have a cheap source of hay you can also just use a very thick fluffy layer of hay. Not…[Read more]

Straw pellets for horses can be used as bedding. They are sold for horses, so you wont find them in pet shops.

Most of us here dont really use bedding in our rabbits’ cages/condos/enclosures. I use bedding only in the litter boxes. This makes it a bit easier for the rabbit to distinguish between toilet-area and living-area.

Fleece can be used in…[Read more]

….Worried for him we currently have paper bedding but it’s very expensive.

Trying to find a type of bedding that soaks up pee and odor just the type not the brand thank you we have the paper type but it’s WAY to expensive.

The type please of bedding because I know they don’t allow Advertising

Thank you

Some bunnies will also take CC willingly from a spoon or a plate, especially if it is mixed up pretty thick. You might try that if you haven’t already. Some bunnies like it more if it’s mixed with a little canned pumpkin, and adding some mashed banana will also help (but you want to keep an eye on how much so she doesn’t get too much…[Read more]

Weigh-in is a good idea. Just gave 1.5ml of baby Ovol bc i could hear her insides gurgling and could see her skin along her sides rippling. Very distressing that I can’t physically bring her on right now. However she took a few good pinches of the shorter Alfalfa hay,

It’s a bit difficult to say exactly how much food. My 1.5 kilo bun was prescribed 15 ml of critical care (mixed with water to a paste) 5-6 times per day when he was ill and couldnt eat anything else.

For a 2 kilo bun, Oxbow says 49 grams of dry Critical Care per day will cover nutritional needs. I think you can translate that into pellets and get…[Read more]

Thank yo for your quick reply DanaNM! Syringe feeding stopped a couple of days ago – she fought tooth and nail and wouldn’t even take water, she was so stressed by the sight of syringes.  I have been in touch with the vet daily (phone), I asked about more pain meds a couple of days ago, it was a no go. I’m wondering what a reasonable amount of…[Read more]

Hi Lauren! Just wanted to check in re: your rabbits. Sorry you didn’t get a reply back. How have things been with the flooring and temperature?

That’s weird they are so slippery!

I know sometimes with yoga mats they are slippery when you first get them, but if you wash them with just regular liquid soap (I do this in the shower) it removes the slick coating and makes them much more grippy. Maybe you could try giving them a wash?

I am surprised that she still isn’t eating well at this point, and I also think you should have been given more pain meds. The shelter I volunteer at restricts activity for 14 days post spay, so you still should so make sure she can’t jump around or she could tear something.

Keep syringe feeding until her eating is back to normal, and keep…[Read more]

Hi there,

I’m actually going to deviate from Wick slightly, but her advice is very solid and definitely the safest way to go!

I would say IF you are able to supervise them 24/7 for a couple weeks, you may be able to keep them together. But you want to be able to supervise closely because hormonal surges post-spay can cause fighting. If you…[Read more]
