Louiethebunny replied to the topic What does rabbit purring sound like? in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 3 months ago
so glad to hear! yeah, I noticed both a quiet “rumble” which I guess is the purr, as well as a quiet clicking. I heard a video of the “in pain” tooth grinding, which is a very different sound. I’ mm so happy my bun and I are getting closer!!

They sound like excellent signs. ๐
The “purr” sounds like a very low volume chatter of the teeth. Kind of like a vibration I suppose. Mine tend to do the 3-click type purr though. Again, not loud, just a click-click-click.ย I often do it back. ๐

That was a good move. They need to be really careful about what info they provide. Not every owner is going to know about that in advance.ย I think it would be good practice for all clinics to put in their standard pre-op printed info “(unless it’s a rabbit)” or something like that. So if cat/dog info gets handed over at least the exception is in there.

Even if it seems like an annoyance, helping people by informing them what’s correct, in a nice way, is always a good thing. There’s a lot of false bunny info out there, and help prevent it is great. ๐

jerseygirl replied to the topic Litter and Poop in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 3 months ago
Yes, a better litter will definitely help with odor control. Paper based litters are easy to find. Like Yesterdays news, Carefresh. You can buy the cat one. Wood pellet litters are great and very economical. Lots of people buy the big bags of horse stall bedding (pellets pine) or wood stove pellets that dont have any accelerant added to it.…[Read more]

Recently my bun and I have been getting closer, and tonight I was stroking him and he was making a subtle noise. I was wondering what rabbit purring or content tooth clicking sounds like, because I would love to know Louie was content with my cuddles. He also began grooming me in return and staring licking my leg, which didn’t have any scent of…[Read more]

Even though I don’t have time for a second bunny or pet, I still find myself growing Petfinder and shelters near me for cute bunnies. I would love to get my bun a friend but a second bunny is a big commitment with the bonding and doubles in price and space. Maybe in the future, but it is so hard to resist their cute little faces. Knowing I gave a…[Read more]

jerseygirl replied to the topic PLEASE HELP BUNNY REFUSES TO TAKE MEDS in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 3 months ago
That’s great.ย Go slow with the additional fruits and veggies though. I’d even wait until he has finished the meds, allowing the banana only – or whatever else you mix it in. Reason for this is you will want to monitor for changes to his poop once he starts on new foods. At the moment, if there was changes, you wont really be able to tell if it’s…[Read more]

I’m kinda jealous. I’d love to be getting to know a new furbaby through out this time. I’m home all the time (out of work since covid) and my 3 buns are not reacting positively or negatively to it really. They’ve had to put up with some more cuddles though…
I won’t lie, I’ve been stalking some cat rescue pages with the thought of fostering some…[Read more]

Louiethebunny started the topic Best bun rug in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 3 months ago
Does anyone have any favorite rugs for their bunny? I’ve been needing a new rug or two for my room for my bun, as I have hardwood flooring. Rugs can be pricey, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any rugs they like for a good price?

Yup! The vet told me to feed him up until the surgery, Iโm even preparing a little container of hay, pellets, and herbs for the doctor to give him as soon as he wakes up (a website advised this, I thought it sounded like a good idea).
Itโs like you read my mind though! The receptionist sent me a note telling me to make sure he doesnโt eat after…[Read more]

Just make sure he is not fasted beforehand. Sometimes a well-meaning staff member might give you pre-surgery instructions that are for other animals. Rabbits should not fast. They might even allow you to send in some hay with him on the day.

cottonballbun replied to the topic Super nervous for neuter in the forum THE LOUNGE 6 years, 3 months ago
I sure hope so, he seemed to be the best around, I was reccomended by him from another vet who couldn’t take bunnies.
Thank you for being so calming, I really needed these kinds of words right now…! -
Louiethebunny replied to the topic Super nervous for neuter in the forum THE LOUNGE 6 years, 3 months ago
being a new bunny mom, im always super worried and paranoid as well. It’s completely normal to be concerned for your bun, and everyone goes through it, we just love ’em so much! Because your vet performs this suregy seemingly often, I think your bun is in good hands.

Thank you so much for the reassuring words! It seriously helped me, when no one else would listen!!
I’m just nervous because I chose not to have bloodwork done on him before the the surgery, because it was optional and really expensive. For this reason, I’ve become paranoid that he may have some underlying thing that’ll be fatal during the…[Read more] -
LBJ10 replied to the topic Bonding baby male with 1 year old male in the forum BONDING 6 years, 3 months ago
Young rabbits cannot form true bonds. I agree with Wick. The baby may want to get along with your current bunny and your current bunny may or may not see the baby as a threat. Everything will go out the window though once the baby starts to mature. For now, it’s best to keep everyone separated. Then work on bonding once the baby is neutered. It’s…[Read more]

I’ve been doing school from home, but this time period is when I adopted my bun, our one month gotcha day anniversary was just three days ago, so Louie is pretty used to me always being around. When I have to start going back to school I’ll probably set up a pet cam so I can check on him more often, I wonder how he’ll adjust to me being gone. He…[Read more]
