I agree with Dana, this sounds like gas, not true bloat. The reason he smells poopy could be that he is passing gas.

True bloat means theres a blockage somewhere in the gi canal so gas and intestinal content cant pass through. Gas builds up and puts pressure on the internal organs, to the point where the lungs get so compressed they cant…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan! If there is any furniture you could move out temporarily, that’s what I would do (I’ve had a lot of temporary set ups the last few years haha). Can you split areas with gates?

Also, I had an extra bed frame in my basement with the bunnies. I ended up putting big pieces of cardboard on it so they could have another “floor”…[Read more]

There could still be some leftover “stuff” in her ear. It can make them feel itchy. The vet should be able to look in there and remove whatever debris might have been trapped in there.

Isn’t 75F, like, normal room temperature in the summer? It may feel a bit warm to bunnies if it warms suddenly, but 75 is no where near the danger zone. This is especially true if they are inside, not in the heat of the sun, have a fan blowing on them, etc.

Squinting in one eye may be something to be concerned about. But there is no discharge? No cloudiness?

After a few days at my new job I decided I want to keep trying for the trio because it’s really hard to spent time with the buns in different areas of the house now that I’m not working from home every day, but I’m going to have to rethink their housing set ups during bonding. Having all three in the kitchen wasn’t working, but having them split…[Read more]

Ugh those face nips are so stressful! Bonnie does that to Myra. It’s can be hard to prevent without preventing any and all interaction.

If he is eating and pooping it is very unlikely to be true bloat so I wouldn’t panic. It sounds more like he has some gas. Is he showing signs of pain? Do his poops look normal?

I would talk to your vet, they may recommend giving him a hay-only diet for a bit to get him back on track.

At 75 F they were prob a bit uncomfortable but wouldn’t be at risk of heat stroke until over 85 F. Giving them a fan helps a lot as it helps their natural cooling mechanisms (their ears) work better. One thing I like to do if the my buns seem overly warm is to dampen their ears lightly to create some evaporative cooling.

These pages have some…[Read more]

It’s both eyes but it’s more prominent in the left and I never thought of that, he could be but they’re like that all the time for months now. The squinty part just started mid-late last month (April). Could that still mean he’s comfy/happy/content?

Chinchilla maybe?

Ah, I see. Is this both eyes or just one? My bunny will relax his “eyebrows” when he is eating, etc. I guess he doesn’t feel he needs to be on high alert. Could it just be that your bunny is feeling comfortable?

Sorry about that, I did the best I could since if I use flash he’ll squint/close his eyes. But anyway, the top of his eye is kinda drooping down (if that makes sense) and slightly squinty (usually when he eats) but there’s no drool and he’s eating and drinking perfectly fine.
