I figured it was likely EC. I was told it rarely presents without a head tilt, so was assured it was very unlikely –  I even bought up the fact that I thought it was more likely EC than anything else due to the fact he was immunosuppressed due to his URI…. But I was told he’s a 6 year old frenchie so treat for arthritis before we start look…[Read more]

This does sound like EC, I’m sorry your vet didn’t take you seriously (I’ve dealt with this as well) ! With EC, some symptoms are due to inflammation, but others are due to the damage to the nervous system. The ones due to inflammation improve with treatment, but the damage to the nervous system is permanent. Your bun will likely always have some…[Read more]

1/8 cup 2 tbl spoons) is a suitable amount for a 2 kilo (4 lb) bun, but if your bun is a little bit chubby you could lower it to 1 or 1.5 tablespoons and give half the daily amount in the morning and half in the evening.

Cucumbers are fine, as is zucchini. Rabbits can also eat the leaves of cucumbers and zucchini but my buns have never wanted to 😄 (I grow those plants myself in the summers so I know they’re totally pesticide-free).

What about cucumbers? A friend of mine gives their rabbit cucumber pieces with the peel.

So sorry for the late reply. My email never updated me that I had notifications. Weird. I feed 1/8 cup of pellets every morning.

Thank you so much! That helps a lot.

Conventional is fine. If you want organic, it may be cheaper at a farmers market.

I dont feed organic greens during winter. I dont feed much greens during winter tbh, since buns should eat mostly hay. This time of year they get more though, because I forage for them and grow leafy vegs. I dry lots of weeds and grass for them for use during the winter. I have a fruit-and- mushroom dehydrator, nothing fancy, just the simple,…[Read more]

Sorry that I’m late to this but I am so sorry for your loss 💔 It truly is never easy but you love him and I’m so sure that he loves you too, even over the rainbow bridge. I’m certain that he’s making a lot of friends and is binkying like crazy! I’m also sure he’s watching out for you guys

What a mystery!

It is definitely fine to feed non-organic veggies! I think the nutritional benefits of feeding a variety of greens outweighs any minimal benefit from organic veg. For me this falls in the “do what you can but don’t stress too much category”.  In the summer when I have my garden growing and I can go to the farmers market, the buns get lots of…[Read more]

Oh okay I didn’t realize they could eat the whole plant! Thank you 😊

yes i agree with LBJ10 and DanaNM. I have three buns, and only one of which likes being held. But when im trying to catch the other buns (they run free on my screened in porch) i literally just lie down on the ground and eventually they get so curious enough and come over.

As long as you dont use pesticides, dandelion greens will be fine. The entire  dandelion plant is edible, ie the leaves, flowers, stems and root.

I find dandelion stems to be very good for bun GI health. Since dandelion flowers are important for bees, you could hold off on harvesting them until their bloom is over (which is only a cpl of days).
