Agreed w/ @Bam — as long as your rabbit is eating hay and good-quality rabbit pellets, nutritionally, the rabbit should be fine. Veggies also don’t contribute much w/ weight either. I would be more concerned about your rabbit’s overall level of hydration though. You mention there are not many rabbit-savvy vets in your country– do you mind…[Read more]

If your bun can eat hay and pellets she will get the nutrients she needs from that, esp if you vary the types of hay she gets. You can dry some vegetables for her if you want to give her vegetables. Kale, dandelion greens, apple leaves and other edible leaves, thin slices of carrot (carrot should be considered a treat) dry very well. I’m sure you…[Read more]

Is Noel your only rabbit or is there another rabbit Noel interacts with? If there is another rabbit, this is something commonly seen when one rabbit is ripping off the fur of another, specifically during humping, and is a sign that these rabbits should be separated. You can review proper bonding procedures here:…[Read more]

The cautionary approach would be to take both rabbits to the vet for a thorough physical exam– sometimes things can be easily missed w/ all their fur and fluff, and also a very common mechanism for rabbits is to act “normal” when they are injured (personally one of my rabbits broke his toe, literally two pieces of bone, and acted completely…[Read more]

Appreciate your forum engagement @Rhea, however, since this is an older topic, I will be locking it, as the original poster is unlikely to reply and continue an active dialogue. Of note, please keep in mind Forum Rule 3-I, which states “ No Witch Hunts:  Do not use BinkyBunny to persecute and/or to recruite others to contact a person, busi…[Read more]

I called around Waco vets and they never heard of the TURR rehabilitation. It’s listed on Google as the top rehabilitation in Waco but all the comments are just from fans of the YouTube. There are no accounts of using its service. However, I called the Humane Society of Waco and they had also never heard of it. I asked the director if they would l…[Read more]

Welcome to BB!

Thanks Bam! That’s right, I remember her using latanaprost drops.

Thanks for your perspective. I’ll be getting a stuffy and try and resist the 4th as long as possible. I do spend at least a couple hours a day down with them so hopefully that is enough.

Yeah, I don’t think fostering is for me, I don’t like the idea that they may go somewhere where they don’t have as much as I give them.  lol. I think I could…[Read more]

that’s great y’all have Mini Rex.. I love them! Its all Ive ever owned until the Lop… 😀

Welcome to BinkyBunny!! I currently foster a Rex and she’s quite wonderful, so I understand the love!

As for glaucoma in buns, one of our old members (Asriel&Bombur) use latanaprost eyedrops for her ec bun who has cataracts that lead to glaucoma. They do the job, he gets 2 drops twice per day and his pressure is down from 40 to 25 (should ideally be 20).

Most things buns ingest do pass through because they chew their food (and non food) into very fine bits. They can swallow big chunks of things like dogs do.

If he’s eating and drinking and acting normal tomorrow as well I think he’s out of the woods. Most buns do get into non-food items now and then and there’s rarely a problem. But you can of…[Read more]
