Not sure exactly the kind I have, I just searched for “rubber broom” and a lot of options came up. For poops I think a regular hand broom works a bit better, but the rubber broom is great for hay.

Also as an aside, I have a shark vacuum and it’s much quieter and lighter than other vacuums I’ve used! Just something to consider 🙂

Thanks again! I’m mostly having trouble with hay and poop but I feel like fur will be an issue soon with molt coming right around the corner (so to speak). What kind of rubber brushes do you use?

You do need to have a very neutral space, especially with a challenging bond. Some ideas are:

-the bathtub/ bathroom (after wiping it down with a 10% vinegar solution), or laundry room.

-create a neutral area by putting down a new tarp, set up a new pen, and add some blankets around the sides so they can’t see where they are. It will still smell…[Read more]

I think that’s wise. I’ve heard of buns becoming more selective about which hay stalks they want (some start preferring the crunchy ones, others want the soft ones) with molar spurs.

My senior bun LOVED Emeraid recover food (the Herbivore Sustain version) when he was nearing the end of his life. I’m certain that it gave us at least 5 more months with him as he had stopped eating hay due to advanced arthritis. He hated critical care, so if you bun is not super into pellet mush or CC, you could try Emeraid.

Yes I discovered the wonders of the rubber broom for carpets and rugs recently and it’s a game changer for hay and hair! There are hand-held ones and full-sized push broom versions.

Poor baby, thank you for rescuing him!

It’s not supposed to be like this. I have reported this too now.

Got mama bear (amazon) newborn diapers and they work! May need to cut for legs/hips. I did not turn them backwards like what some say online. That didn’t work or I didn’t know what I was doing…Took a while to figure out…

In the middle of the day (not normal active time), he ran a few laps and when playtime over, gobbled down some food.…[Read more]

Seeds have lots of calories, plus some essential fatty acids that are beneficial for the brain as well as the rest of the body. Fingers so very crossed!! 🤞

Thank you, I’ll get some seeds. Carrot are already part of vege diet as I love carrots as much as buns 😀 .

I think you’ve covered most of what I would’ve suggested. Perhaps try small amounts of sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds or flaked almonds. I gave my longterm poorly bun some grated carrot daily, which he liked a lot (he couldn’t chew very well).

I believe the cutoff for Holland lops is 4lbs. This does not mean that a Holland weighing a bit more than that isn’t a Holland. It just means they don’t fit the breed standards and are probably a false dwarf. Looking at his features though, I would say he’s probably a non-conforming Holland. Now, if we’re talking WAY over the weight limit, then he…[Read more]

Very close bonded buns can have somebun with it, while others of the group are perfectly fine. There really isn’t any need to do anything special, especially with time between, other than everybun should feel safe (who’s this otherbun’s smell that’s all over).

Every single of my post goes to error page after submit (though it actually posts) and goes into wait for moderation (don’t know if this is a new thing but only pics did this before).

I have, for now, ordered a flat oval shaped handheld that someone said a vet recommended.

(This is for possible end of life ish care for a very sick bun)
