Thank you very much for your message. He definitely means a lot to me, so I’m trying to figure out what’s going on no matter what.

What you’ve said is true, it happens to me specially during night time, I start to get overwhelmed by the situation and I don’t think clear. Hopefully something will come up that will solve things a bit, I just want…[Read more]

You could try to attach something for him to chew on to his cage, it’s easier for them to tear into something if it’s stationary.

7 years isn’t too old to get him neutered by the way, as long as he’s healthy and you have a bunny savvy vet.

Every pair is different. Especially dominant or submissive rabbits often don’t exhibit behaviors that aren’t typical for their role. If you have a pair of bunnies who are both moderately dominant they might behave more loosey-goosey in regards to their pecking order where a dominant bun will still groom the other and so on. As long as they’re both…[Read more]

She’s hitting puberty, so this behavior is very normal. However, you shouldn’t let it continue or your rabbits will end up fighting. Separate them until you can get both of them spayed, then you can go through the bonding process. 🙂

Also, young rabbits are difficult to sex correctly, so it’s important to separate them immediately just in case…[Read more]

if she won’t eat anything at all, she will need to be fed with a syringe, and giving some water with a syringe will keep her hydrated too.

Oh he is a psoser isn’t he! That’s adorable!

Welcome Tybalt and Khalijah 🙂

I agree, a recheck is in order. With her pawing at her mouth, it does sound like something is bothering her there.

One of the forum leaders here had her rabbit get a stick of willow wedged across across the back molars one time. It reminds me of that.

I’m surprised the vet didn’t give motility meds.

Are you able to mix the critter care up thi…[Read more]

Unlimited doesn’t necessarily mean unlimited. It really depends on the bunny. Some bunnies are perfectly fine being “free fed” and will eat what they want, when they want. AND still eat plenty of hay. Others need a little bit of motivation to eat hay. So if unlimited pellets causes them to gobble pellets non-stop and ignore the hay, then try…[Read more]

I’m not familiar with what kinds of ticks are in Alaska. Do you know what kind it was?

What. a. CUTIE! That single white paw is adorable! I’m glad the forums have been a helpful resource for you, as well as the RABBIT INFO we have included on other portions of the site as well! We are always happy to read and see more about members and their rabbits!

I do think requesting another vet consult is wise — it sounds very much like a dental-related issue. How did the vet check your rabbit’s teeth exactly?

Some rabbits, though a minority, may not like a lot of toys. Your rabbit sounds pretty much like my netherland dwarf — he doesn’t chew toys or play with anything. He just lounges all day (he doesn’t even flop, haha). If he’s not showing frustration behaviors, such as destructive tendencies, and he’s eating and drinking and pooping fine, he may…[Read more]

I’m sorry to read about everything you and your rabbit are going through. It is clear you care so much and are not hesitant in taking action to figure out how to help him. I can’t offer knowledge from experience with the medical conditions you describe specifically, but in terms of working with a rabbit mystery, I can relate.

I have found it…[Read more]

Thank you very much for your response, it definitely provides me with some more solutions I can present to my vet.

He has been eating the same amount of hay I believe. Lately he likes the stems more than anything else, teeth don’t seem to bother him but anyway, I would like to get him x-rayed next time so we can check for any molar issues, just…[Read more]

Has your bun been out in the dirt lately? Dirt can carry the ticks. You should take your rabbit to a vet for treatment, for ticks can give health issues to your rabbit. Groom your bun daily, if you come across a tick, remove it with some tweezers. Try to get rid of them before the ticks have had their fill, in some cases rabbits get anemia. Ticks…[Read more]
