Hi

Just looked through that website about mites. And Reggie definitely doesnt have any of the symptoms or any of the pictures do not look like that and it’s nearly been a week since I spotted these bumps

Thanks

Hi there, welcome, sorry you are having a rough go of it!

So, there’s a lot to unpack here, but I am a bit concerned that in the beginning there was so much biting through the cage bars, and enough to draw blood. The “pre-bonding” phase is supposed to allow them to learn that the other rabbit is not a threat, and help them get used to that bunny.…[Read more]

Agree with Wick, unless he has a heart condition or something that looks worrisome in his blood work, it should be fine. Our vet neuters 8-9 year old grandpa bunnies no problem. But as Wick said, if your vet is uncomfortable with it, you might see if you can find a vet that feels more confident.

I agree that 7yo, and if in general good health, wouldn’t pose too much of an issue for a neuter? Especially because neuters are generally less invasive than, lets say a spay. My concern is mainly, if the vet themself is not comfortable with it, that adds in an additional risk. It may speak to their experience or comfort level with the procedure…[Read more]

Thank you. I will have a look through the article. I’m not sure if it is that as he has no dry skin.

Aww bless and yes deffo I’m always cautious now.

Here is some good info on burrowing mites, but I must warn you, there are some nasty pictures if scroll down. Thankfully these mites are very sensitive to ivermectin.

Lionheads are so, so lovely and soft 💗 My very fluffy teddy lionhead got sore socks last winter, luckily covering my rugs with softer materials helped a lot, but I always have to…[Read more]

Hi

Thank you for your response. I have put blankets now because I didnt realise about my carpet could cause it.

I havent noticed any dry flakes round his nails? Is there any other signs that it could be mites as his fur seems okay?

Ik he has very soft fur but I love him even so haha

This could be abrasion from unsuitable flooring material, in which case it will heal up now when you’ve put on sudocream and put blankets over the floors. Lionheads are very furry, but their fur is super soft and they are somewhat prone to sore hocks.

There is however a type of mites that like attacking the area around the nails first of all. I’m…[Read more]

I’m so sorry 🙁  Pand was a beauty, I love her eyelashes <3

Please don’t beat yourself up at all, I ditto everything Bam said. It’s an unfortunate fact that rabbits are not bred for their long term health, did not evolve to live long lives, and rabbit medicine lags far behind that of animals like dogs. It sounds like you have had a rough go of…[Read more]

Hi FNW,  sorry you are going through this 🙁

I’m guessing the fighting could have been triggered by hormonal changes post-spay. Females can drain hormones for as long as 6 weeks after spaying. Illness in one bunny can also trigger fighting. So can stress in general. The peeing changes make me think that maybe that bunny had a complication with…[Read more]

Hi Sonn! Lovely to hear from you! I’m sorry about your tortoise.

I’m very glad to hear things has been working out with Waverly and Pig 🙂 Its just crazy that she’s so big now, I remember your insta pix from when she was a wee pup, and it doesn’t seem long ago at all.

Joey is a certainly a big girl too 😀 I hope you’ll post more pix of the zoo…[Read more]
