I’m sorry your bun is having problems. Since you took him to a rabbit vet and had test done, this could be about ageing. Arthritis (joint pain and inflammation du to age) can be a factor. Pain can make a bun less inclined to move around, and that obviously affects the bun’s capacity for maintaining skeletal muscle. It’s seen in old horses and v…[Read more]

I think it’s important to understand what GI stasis is, because what you’re describing actually just sounds like very mild instances of gas, which is natural and is a part of the natural digestive process.

GI stasis is the state in which the rabbits GI literally stops– therefore “stasis”. If a rabbit’s GI has truly stopped, it is very unlikely…[Read more]

Thank you for the responses! I have a urine removal spray that I have been using because he used to pee on the bed (I don’t let him up there anymore).

He’s still eating and peeing normally (not strained) and running around, but he is almost five years old, so…[Read more]

Snowball loves sitting in front of our fan in the living room ! Here in the UK, the weather is hot and muggy at the moment, so snowball loves to sit / lay in front of the fan whenever he gets the chance to 🙂

Does your bunny chew constantly or just take “test bites” here and there? I agree that bunnies will naturally want to test boundaries and a little nibble on the bars just to make sure they are solid isn’t going to hurt anything.
