She’s two months old and not spayed yet. If it’s a temper tantrum then I actually feel a bit better. I was worried that she would become aggressive with everything like I unlocked a new personality or something.

The bald patch on her ear could be from an IV being inserted into that vein.

I’m hesitant to suggest this since she isn’t used to eating pellets, but what about junior/young bunny formula pellets? They contain alfalfa, so they have a sweeter taste. The adult formula is sweet too… I’m just trying to think what would be enticing. You wouldn’t be…[Read more]

Bunnies can have what we would describe as “temper tantrums” when they are frustrated. If she knew pellets were in the toy, but couldn’t get them out, I could see her becoming frustrated. How old is she? And is she spayed yet? Hormones can contribute to the frustration as well.

Considering his age, he could have his adult coat coming in. The texture can change during this time. Small bunnies stop growing around 6 months of age, larger bunnies continue to grow longer than that. Even though they are done growing in size, young bunnies tend to look lean until they fill out a bit at around 9-12 months (depending on breed…[Read more]

Oh yes, bitter apple is surprisingly tasty for rabbits. 🙄

I think putting down tile or some other type of material to cover the carpet is your best bet.

Hi Jersey! 🙂

Not too much has changed recently with his diet. He did get a dose of Revolution about a week or so ago for fur mites, so that might be a factor.

His weight is good and he is eating a lot. He is doing good with hay, pellets, greens and treats.

I will look into an anti inflammatory and see if that helps.

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you for the kind words everyone. Fresno (who I’ve started calling Fizz lol) appreciates the love. The vets around me aren’t able to see him this weekend so I clipped his nails and noticed he has what I’m assuming are sore hocks? The bottom of his back feet are red and feel rough and scabby but I don’t see any pus. So I switched his floorin…[Read more]

Thank you guys! I’ll take him to the vet for a checkup as soon as possible. I’ll see if I need to feed a little bit more pellets.

It can definitely be just from grooming. Rabbits lose a really thick coat due to the summer weather, so that actually looks quite natural to me. As long as the fur is coming out easily and any bare skin exposed looks healthy, you’re helping your rabbit shed their coat and not eat it!

I welcome you to create your own topic for your concern Lucas.

A dead bug or two is not uncommon in hay due to how it’s harvested. Simply throw the bug out. It should not cause any issues! People have found dead snakes and birds in their hay at times shockingly!

I don’t think it will hurt them but I looked it up and it’s basically a diet food. Since they’re babies they need a bit of extra calories so I would at least increase the amount you are feeding them if you’re going to keep that, plus of course keep up with their  hay and greens!

Hard to tell from the pictures and rabbits can be a little hard to tell anyway. My vet is doing parking lot drop offs and you can’t even go in with the animals so it’s pretty safe. They would be able to confirm if he’s proper weight plus check his teeth and all that jazz since he’s new. I do think maybe he could use more pellets although if he has…[Read more]

This poor boy! Thank you so much for rescuing this little one.

Hi BM! Nice to hear from you 🙂

It sounds like you’ve already put your finger on what may be the problem, some “old bones” perhaps.

How is his weight?

The other thing is food as you know. Have there been any changes in formula? Any extra treats lately? Is he consuming adequate hay? My oldies seem to ear less pellets these data. I’ve always…[Read more]

Take her to the VET just be safe with COVID19 around or do an online exotic vet visuals I found a dead cricket in my bunny bag of hay (any suggestions)

I agree, a small amount probably wouldn’t do any harm. It sounds as if all is ok so far. Make sure she gets of food unlimited pellets) now so she produces adequate milk.

Here’s some more info going forward if you’ve not dealt with Mums & babies before.
