It is best to leave diagnostics for any emergency situation to a veterinarian who can properly assess your rabbit.

Here is a video that can provide some guidance on bloat vs stasis: https://youtu.be/iVW6Rw5rZzo

… Generally, the big indicator is whether the rabbit’s body is ballooning and hard.

I have forwarded this to our admin. You’re quite right, if you can post in the Tech Stuff, section you dont need a different login for any of the oth other sections.

If you like to, you can start a new thread about your Diet-and-care-question here in the tech stuff section, and I’ll move it to Diet and Care. (Whole threads can be moved by a…[Read more]

Decided it wasn’t worth the risk. Took a lot of time and work to replace and now my car has hay in cracks that will prob never be clean again, but don’t have to worry now.

Yeah, I was thinking the wooden frame with the fabric stretched tight. Like those cat beds, but rabbit size.

I just recently found mold in a new hay bag, purchased from a local farmer. It had a smell like earth (soil), plus it was greyish. At the bottom of the bag I found wet black mold. Black mold is toxic. We’ve had a (serious) lot of rain here since mid June, so I’m guessing the hay had absorbed ambient moisture during storage.

I looked it up online…[Read more]

I would say trust your gut. If it smells more musty than normal and feels damp, it likely got some moisture at some point and has gotten some mold. If possible you could contact the seller and request a replacement.

If this was purchased from the Binky Bunny store please use this contact form to get assistance:…[Read more]

It is often easier to transition a bun from alfalfa pellets to timothy pellets, so you could start with that transition if you haven’t already. They also sell pure timothy pellets for horses, you could try to incorporate those as a way to boost his timothy consumption in the meantime. You also don’t want to feed too many pellets as he will fill up…[Read more]

I was imagining the ones sold for ferrets that clip in cage corners. I don’t think those would be safe in most cases, but a lower one meant for buns could be OK.

That’s great, it sounds like he will be very happy with your company. Some solo rabbits like having a stuffy to cuddle with, so you could see if he likes that as well.

I have a recently single girl who I do intend to bond again, but needed a break from bonding for a while. She seemed sad at first but after a few months has started acting more…[Read more]

Thank you both for your thoughts.

I am in a fortune position where I’m able to spend a lot of time with him. I only work 6 hours per week and my husband works from home. We don’t have a busy social life so our wee guy will never be short of human attention.

Adopting even a senior rabbit isn’t on the cards for us. We are certain we don’t want to…[Read more]

Some buns do need frequent filings. Their teeth grow so very quickly 🙁 In some cases the bun needs frequent filings to get the teeth “on the right track”, then they need filing much less often. Buns with chronic  acquired dental disease (ADD) can need molar filings every 3 months for the rest of its life.

X-rays are needed to see the extent of…[Read more]

A bit of an odd question..

What are the odds of a bunny having to have his molars trimmed and/or filed after being done just 4 months ago?

Obviously, I ensure he has a hay rich diet, but things seem to be pointing to teeth again. 😯 😡 🙁

I shall try Orchard grass next! Thanks!

I never thought about the grass outside…I’m in Canada, the apartments where I live, they don’t use pesticides because there’s tons of people with dogs.
I can try that I suppose! His weight is fine, not light but not heavy…I give him only Alfalfa and Oat hay at night, when I wake up, there’s still tons of hay and he begs me for pellets!

I’ll…[Read more]
