They sell “pet grass” at pet supply stores. It’s usually just wheat grass.

Meloxicam/metacam are sold as a liquid for animals. Usually the vet will add flavoring to it to make it palatable. For bunnies, it’s usually a sweet flavor.

Hello, thank you so much for the reply and the information!

The rabbit vet told me, since he was eating vegetables, I shouldn’t syringe feed him. He doesn’t eat the mashed up pellets, I might try mixing them with a bit of apricot to see if he’d like that? Before I force feed him? I want to try and avoid unnecessary syringes because he absolutely…[Read more]

That looks to be more consistent with a bunny being kept in a small cage and the side of their foot rubbing on the side or bars.

The treatment he was prescribed is very unusual for stasis. Your bun is definitely a fighter! Normally the recommended treatment for stasis is pain medication (very important), and sometimes fluids, sometimes a motility aid, and almost always syringe feeding if the rabbit isn’t eating. Syringe feeding and pain meds alone can often bring a rabbit…[Read more]

It isn’t recommended to bond unless you can get your female spayed (the term for the procedure in a female animal). When the female is hormonal it can trigger a lot of issues with bonding and it can be impossible to get a stable bond.

1 K is very expensive … what country are you in? Bonding aside, spaying in female rabbits is good to do as it…[Read more]

so the cage is in inch sorry forgot to add that and okay my big thing is the neutered because down by me it is about 1k to neuter a female bunny.

Hmm, it does look like a sore hock starting to form to me. A callus is usually right on the end of the heel. The other option could be a hay splinter, as Bam suggested. My bridge bunny Bertha got a sore on their hock that ended up being a tiny abscess from a splinter.

At this point it doesn’t look too bad though. I would focus by making the…[Read more]

Ah, gotcha! Yeah I think the foraging mat is probably good but may restrict it to just one serving a day and see how that goes?

The placement of the bare patch is a bit unusual. Sore hocks/calluses are a result of friction, so unless your bun has some sort of disability that makes her put pressure on the side of her foot when she walks/hops, this seems like sth else. Could she have done it to herself? Perhaps in an attempt at removing a piece of stuck hay? Some bits of hay…[Read more]

Rabbits as a rule do very well in pairs, but they need to be introduced to each other gradually. This is known as a bonding process. Both rabbits should be neutered and given time to heal before the bonding process is begun, but you can start pre-bonding earlier. A female + male bond is statistically the easiest to achieve and the most stable over…[Read more]

Technically, EC spores can exist in the environment for a long time. Can a rabbit actually become infected this way? Much less likely than, say, a rabbit actually living with another rabbit that is actively shedding spores in their urine. At any rate, I wouldn’t worry too much about him becoming “reinfected”. Treatment for EC doesn’t necessarily…[Read more]
