I had good luck with a beard trimmer. Definitely quieter than a pair of pet clippers! Bunny fur is fine, so you don’t need anything heavy duty to cut through it. I like Dana’s idea of using something super absorbent and then putting something soft on top.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Very sad, somebody trying to sell a rabbit on Mercari in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 6 months ago
I removed the link because posting it violates forum rules and encourages people to look at the listing and potentially interact with the seller. The situation is very sad. It even says they will ship, but that can’t be true. You can’t just put a bunny in the mail. As sad as this is though, it is best not to interact with the seller since they may…[Read more]

Hello everyone. I was browsing for some rabbit supplies when I came across this tragic post. This rabbit is clearly living in poor conditions with an irresponsible owner and I’m not sure how to handle this besides reporting the listing. I know it violates Mercari listing policies so , but I feel like something more needs to be done than just r…[Read more]

I’m sorry. It’s terrible and feels very unfair, but it isn’t your fault. It does sound like she was very sick.

Which 3 airlines still allow bunnies? I’m sure this question has been asked before. Just thought it would be helpful.

I’m so very, very sorry.
A partial blockage is a very serious condition and we dont know why it happens. You did all you possibly could and you were there for her through all of it.
It is very unfair.
Binky free, sweet little bun.

I’m so sorry 🙁
I’m just catching up on this but it sounds like your bun was very very sick. 🙁 I’m so sorry for your loss.

Ok gotcha. Yes if he is regularly getting soft poops then he is likely getting too many treats in his diet. I would cut out all fruit and treats (make sure no family members are sneaking treats to him as well, this is commonly a problem!). He may even need less salad or pellets if the problem continues. I do think having the vet do the initial…[Read more]

I have a manscape trimmer but for pets, it could work but it’s the handling part that frustrates me. He becomes so stressed that I feel bad. I change the litter twice a day and frequently cover the poops and pews throughout the day for them not to sit on it. Sometimes it is soft poop, as sometimes I feed them a fruit or something and it causes t…[Read more]

I’ve tried that, but to me it’s way too hard on the feet (one of them has a little bit sore hocks or calluses) also it was a little dusty.

She passed bam, as I held her. She quietly faded away. I’ve only been a bunny owner for a year. Unfair and heartbreaking. I’m so angry. So angry.

Yes, the Metacam dose is for 24 hours.
I think you are doing all you can at home now and it’s great you have seen some poop and pee.

I can’t tell from the image, but could it possibly be a foxtail? Are there any seed heads on your hay?

DanaNM replied to the topic Quad bonding–tips? in the forum BONDING 2 years, 6 months ago
It really depends on the buns I think. Eventually you do need to work with all 4 at once, but it can be helpful to work with the pairs separately to get a sense of which combo is likely to be the most challenging. If you have someone to help you manage the sessions you could try all 4 at once to start, but you may find it less stressful to try the…[Read more]

A sanitary shave should help! I agree that having a vet help with it at first is good. For at home trimming, I recommend getting a “manscaped” style trimmer (generic versions are fine) as they make it much easier and safer to do at home!
How often are you changing the litter? If he’s regularly getting pee stains it may just need to be cleaned…[Read more]

I wonder if a wood-based pelleted litter would absorb better. Like horse stall pellets, Feline Pine, wood stove pellets, etc.

She just reached her head up and nibbled down lettuce from my plate. It had Italian dressing on so I got her a few more pieces. I’m waiting for a vet to call back about lactated ringers. Please let her get through 24 hrs again. Small poops and wee’s. Doing all that’s advised here. Got her moving a bit.

Hey,
I have a bonded pair (M/F), and I recently took in a second pair (baby bond, F/F, long story). I had the two F’s spayed and they are recovering separately (same room, different xpens), I will presume their bond has been broken. I will be waiting at least another couple weeks for them to fully recover, but my question is about how best to go…[Read more]
