Yes, cat grass if often wheat grass, but can also be oat or barley. Nothing wrong with any of those grasses. They are safe to feed to a bunny. Fresh grass will “feel” like veggies, but it will have more fiber.

Hello, I hope he’s feeling better today. My rabbit has been sick several times over the last year and when he’s sick I have started picking out all of the soft hay tops from the hay pile and feeding them to him by hand. I can get him to eat those a lot of times when he isn’t interested in the rest of the hay so if he still isn’t eating his hay…[Read more]

You said there isn’t space downstairs and it isn’t safe but I’m wondering if you can possibly move some things? Would you parents be ok with you doing some spring cleaning and getting rid of some things that are no longer used? Then you could get one or more ex pens to put together to make a safe space where they can’t get into anything they…[Read more]

So I did 2 more longer sessions with the 3, and things seemed to take a step back again. Ruby and Snoopy do OK, but Maxwell was getting more nippy again and not going as close to Snoopy. Today I decided to try again with just the boys and seems to be a little better. Maxwell still does small lunges but not those ripping out fur bites like the…[Read more]

It does sound like he’s improving! It sounds wise to feed him pellet mush because he needs sunbstantial food to regain his strenght. You can mix pellet mush with unsweetened canned pumpkin (plain, not pie filling) or small amounts of unsweetened baby fruit- or berry puree and see if he will eat the mix voluntarily. Dont give too much sugar since…[Read more]

I doubt a vet would do much with a small cut in an ear except clean it. You can use povidone-iodine to clean it or chlorhexidine. Hydrogen peroxide is less good for wound cleaning since it causes some tissue damage that can delay healing. As Wick says, keep an eye and contact a vet if yiu see any signs of infection.

English lops are indeed prone…[Read more]

Without being able to physically look/examine it, it’s hard for online users to confirm that it is completely ok. I’d make sure to keep the area clean if there is any indication of infection or improper healing, like swelling, pus, odor, etc., See a vet immediately.

If the bleeding has stopped by now, that is a good sign. I would double check the…[Read more]

Update:

He has pooped quite a bit today, but the mucus and very soft/wet/mushy stool persist. He has eaten some little few pellets, absolutely devours his fresh greens, and even munched on a couple stems of hay. He seems to have moments every few hours where he goes to his hay and wants to eat, eats just one strand and then stops again. He also…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the information!

I can only find something called “Cat grass” in pet stores here, is it the same?

Also, I did manage to find the drug under the name metacam, for animals, but it’s strictly sold only if you have a perscription from the vet, so I’ll need to get that first.

That sounds really hopeful! It does seem easier only having 2 to work with, and could totally see how that would work with certain bunny personalities. That’s great to see a little groom, those small wins count!
