Activity

Probably all the bunny a Guinea pig people!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

They are a bit better after their supervised overnight, I ended up putting a pen grate in between them while I slept as Glenn was a bit too relentless and Nellie needed a break, she was avoiding him anyway. After taking the grate away this morning they are cuddling! perhaps they missed eachother!

Thanks for the replies and advices everyone!

I will try a surrogate, he has some very old smaller stuffies but perhaps something new will catch his eye a bit more! I haven’t noticed that it’s happening to any specific area… Although this is hard to tell really as it kind of happens anywhere around their room, nothing particularly new around but…[Read more]

It seems a lot of the fleece they carried was exclusive to Joann. Not sure if it will be available online somewhere or not. I did end up buying a bunch of clearance fleece since that was 60% off. Unfortunately, the regular fleece was more expensive than it typically was because… liquidator company. I may go back once the prices have gone down…[Read more]

I had heard that about Joann stores 🙁

I wonder if you could find out who their supplier is?
there would also probably be an online market place that may take on all their excess stock and sell in bulk.. maybe an opportunity to buy some extra to keep aside? Sounds like you have a destro-bun on your hands these days! 😄

Sheets do sound like an…[Read more]

I had a dog with joint problems/arthrosis (GSD, they’re prone). The only things that helped were daily NSAIDs (meloxicam is the go-to for buns), gabapentin as needed, laser treatment and exercise on flat but not hard surfaces (no jumping!).

Nowadays LED light therapy could be a comparatively affordable option for at-home therapy. I think…[Read more]

“March hare syndrome” is what first comes to mind for me too. Even long time neutered buns get hormonal this time of year. It’s not only about sex hormones, the rapid increase in daylight that occurs near the spring equinox affects the sleep/wake cycle and other things as well. It affects humans too, but to a lesser extent bc we can apply reason.…[Read more]

Hey!

I’ve noticed that sometimes changes in environment can cause a day or two of grumpy, humpy behavior in our otherwise chill and loving bonded pair Napoleon and Rocky.

It can be something as simple as I’ve cleaned in the computer room (where they live) and they don’t like where I’ve moved something or perhaps one of the cats ran in for 5…[Read more]

I have tried the oxbow joint support with my girl with arthritis, I tried for a month and saw no difference. She was since prescribed Loxicom daily pain relief, she showed some improvement, I decided to reintroduce oxbox joint support and after about another 4-6 week we noticed she was even more springy than before! It’s hard to say if the joint…[Read more]

Glad to hear Nellie is better!

Changing seasons can trigger hormonal behaviors in bunnies, even ones that are spayed/neutered (they still have their adrenal glands). That being said, if this doesn’t resolve soon, I would suggest looking into other causes. Bunnies have been known to hump when they are experience discomfort in their bladder, for…[Read more]

Thank you! The reason I am looking at Myristol and am more inclined to buy it over Oxbow is because I don’t like the extra ingredients in the Oxbow joint supplement (gums, molasses etc…). I guess I will try it and see, since it won’t hurt and hopefully with a bit of luck we’ve had so far can avoid arthritis in the future 🫠

He actually had syphilis before I adopted him! It’s a strange tale because he was never treated while with me, nor at the two shelters he went through (just went through his shelter intakes… never had a bun with so many “abnormal” in his checkup -_-). He was found as a stray so someone treated him and then abandoned him? He’s always been low…[Read more]

IMO it’s luck of the draw. Sure, some thing s are contributors but luck plays a huge role. My 14y/o is the only bun out of 10 that has arthritis and he’s always been a lightweight and knows what foods he needs to eat (e.g. he will reject treats for hay as needed). He had the joint supplements in the past and it obviously did nothing. After his…[Read more]

I’m with LBJ, I haven’t heard of the Myristol either. However, I have had elder buns in the past who have happily eaten the Oxbow joint supplements. I like to think they helped them – but this honestly could be a placebo effect for me. But, it certainly didn’t seem to do any harm and it was a healthy treat they enjoyed. 🙂 So, either way, I…[Read more]

Oh lovely that he’s eating again!

It’s good there’s clear snot and not a lot of it.

Pen G is sometimes given in combo with other abx for persistent “bunny colds”, and it’s the gold standard treatment for bunny syphilis (not the same syphilis hooms get), but that would’ve been a whole series of shots.
