Alfalfa tastes really good and I don’t think many rabbits would ever choose something else if alfalfa is available, haha. My Wick barely ate his Timothy pellets when we first transitioned, but eventually he got there. He was never on alfalfa hay (health reasons), but I imagine the same difficulty would have existed. I haven’t read of many rabbits…[Read more]

thankyou lbj10

It depends, she should have Alfalfa as long as she’s still growing. Are you feeding Alfalfa or Timothy based pellets? They only need one source of Alfalfa, either hay or pellets.

I’m glad you got an earlier appointment. 🙂

So her lower incisors are misaligned, why does he want to do a CT scan? Just to rule out anything else? Or does he think the misalignment was caused recently by an underlying issue rather than being a “natural” development brought on by age? If there’s an abscess, shouldn’t it be visible on the…[Read more]

actually yeah it could be lbj10

Furbuster Comb is a favorite with long hair. Zoom Groom or similar “brushes” are popular with shorter hair. I do a lot of hand plucking too. It really just depends on fur type, shedding pattern and what works for your bunny.

Hmm… underneath the skin. Are they following the mammary chains? It could be cystic mastitis.

Krystal, I found this website called petmd it might give you some answers

are they abscesses

They are underneath the skin.

@binkithecutebunny How long ago was it that Binki’s litter habits deteriorated? Was there a change in environment around that time? Or a different pet that cage into “her” space?

It’s unusul for an adult rabbit (even unneutered) that had good habits to just lose them unless something triggered it or there is underlying health issue, imo.

If he toilets in the blanket, then yes, I’d remove it. I may have misunderstood when you wrote “all around the cage”. Had you mean he was toileting all around <u>in</u> his cage, or around it when he comes out of the cage.

“Exercise pen” is a bit of a misnomer really. They’re sold as those for puppies and maybe kittens. I often interchange…[Read more]

We got a different appointment for this Wednesday afternoon! Thank goodness! Please keep the prayers for Hunny coming!

Just found out the soonest Hunny can get a CT scan is June 30, 15 days from now. I worry about Hunny making it until then. Unless my girl’s situation becomes emergent (let’s pray it doesn’t), they won’t see her any sooner.

Anything that may lead a rabbit to shift its weight on its feet abnormally may facilitate sore hocks. Navigating on a slippery surface, like plastic, may do that. The HRS has some helpful info that may be informative for you, in terms of next steps and future prevention: https://rabbit.org/treating-sore-hocks/
