Hey Sonn 👋🏻
I know this sounds odd but could it be because she’s feeling content? My rabbits have never really taken to playing with toys tbh but the times when TimTim (for instance) will chew on items is when he’s kinda ratty or got some excess energy. Or prompting human to top up hay or offer other placating foods… 🙄
Something to try to see…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestion Jerseygirl, I’ve tried putting him on my bed to do the but he’s like “oh yay a new place I’m going to explore” so he ends up zooming all over my bed! New places don’t really calm him down they excite him🤦♀️ I’ll try a counter top though. I’m watching all these YouTube videos and the bun JUST SITS THERE! How is that eve…[Read more]

Good news! I just called the vet and they’re going to show me how to do it! Hopefully they can, I just really need someone to show me my rabbit is able to take medicine! I’m going at 4 so I’ll update after that. It’s going to be raining so hopefully they let me come inside!

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Wick & Fable Bonding in the forum BONDING 6 years, 3 months ago
Well, they got about 10min of leg stretch in the L-bend as a result of tense chasing, bopping, growling, and fur-pulling. It was tame at first, but continually escalated in tension until it was a tussle each time one of them moved essentially. I think I was a large contributor in this — while I am successful at calming Wick back down and getting…[Read more]

I think it would be worth trying with some fruit purée or pumpkin purée. He’s not to young and it’s only a small amount. If he does t eat that out of a dish, you can at least draw it up into a bigger syringe and try give again, so the dose is not wasted.
My preferred method with difficult-to-medicate buns is to put them up on a countertop. Think…[Read more]

Hunny was three pounds, three ounces when she was weighed last week.
Still no change from my girl. She couldn’t bite her favorite hay cookie, and when I broke it down soaked like last week, she almost choked on a piece wheeling it around in her mouth.
Hunny tried so hard to eat hay and veggies this morning. We would get nibbles, or she would…[Read more]

Lol! My mom has used that reference so much in the last day! Do you think he’s old enough for the banana? I’m scared it will hurt his stomach since I haven’t given him any fruits or veggies yet. He seemed fine at the vet, the vet came out to our car saying he was super sassy and wouldn’t stop exploring😆 I really hope the vet could show me how to…[Read more]

No plug ins, he’s the only one smelling up the room lol. I really hope these antibiotics work they cost an arm and a leg lol. Thanks for your feedback! I’ll update if the antibiotics seem to be working, that is if he ever lets me give them to him…

I also use something similar to what @Wick has mentioned above – my bunnies both seem to love them because it’s so roomy and there’s a lot less mess. They’re rubbermaid type storage containers, without the lid obviously! But they’re the “under the bed” ones that don’t have as high of edges. I think they were around $5 a piece!
Also, just a…[Read more]

My rabbit Theo spends hours a day sitting by the window. We live across from a playground and there is a lot going on for him to watch and he seems to really enjoy his view of the action.

Chelsea replied to the topic Rabbit health mystery in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 3 months ago
I don’t think he’s had molar spurs before, I think they just filed down his front teeth in the past. But it does make sense that he could be getting food stuck in his mouth because the few times I’ve seen him make kind of a “blech!” face it’s been when he was eating greens that would probably catch more easily than hay or pellets. I’m keeping a…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Why is my Medically Healthy Rabbit not Eating or Pooping? in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 3 months ago
How much does Hunny weigh?(Approximately, if you dont know exactly). I’m thinking about the Metacam dosage. Rabbits metabolize metacam very quickly. From what I can see, the dose she has been prescribed is 0.45 ml of 1.5 mg/ml strenght Metacam. This gives 0.675 mg metacam. A bun can have 0.3 – 1.5 mg metacam per kilo bodyweight, once or twice per…[Read more]

That’s my problem too. In a desert country where buns have awful lives, i could volunteer at an actual shelter 30ish minutes away from home. Here in Canada, there is no proper bunny shelter as the few bunny rescues operate via foster homes instead. 😂

I know some can become uninterested a few of my rabbits over the years loved toys as babies and then just didn’t like them anymore as adults. But they never just stopped playing completely.
The only thing I can think of that has changed is my dog passing. But they never really interacted. She doesn’t act stressed since she still eats and drinks…[Read more]

Louiethebunny replied to the topic Joey no longer plays in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 3 months ago
Some rabbits just become uninterested with their toys, but if they completely stop playing completely, there might be something causing it. If there were some kind of environmental changes or something stressing your rabbit out, they might not play with them too much. I would monitor her behavior a bit and see if something might be awry.
