Thank you so much! Is it okay for them to continue using the large room separately until I get them bonded? I just don’t want them all cramped up until they can live together.

I’m sorry to hear about Mr Blu. He was beautiful.

Oh, Pam, I’m so sorry. Spike was such a special bunny. I too remember when you brought him home.

RIP Spikey Marbles ❤❤❤

I’m so sorry, Pam. I remember when you got him and we all tried to help figure out a name for him. He was beautiful 💔

Binky Free, sweet Spike ❤

I’m so so sorry for your loss Pam 🙁

Aww how stressful, I’m sorry! Both rabbits have been spayed/neutered, correct? Just checking because that is essential for bonding.

I wouldn’t recommend using any room they have had access to for bonding. With tougher bonds especially, using a space that’s as neuteral and unfamiliar as possible is very important. Even though neither is in the…[Read more]

OK, I just wanted to make sure they weren’t they dehydrated fruit kind. The cookies are going to be less problematic, but you still don’t want to give too many. I agree with Dana below, you could break them up into smaller pieces.

Thank you so much for all your help 😊

Ok cool, yeah you could just reserve part of those pellets to be used as treats if you wanted to. 🙂 Or break up the Oxbow treats into smaller pieces so that you still get lots of interaction with them but they aren’t getting so many total.

My bunnies are 2 years old.
I have been giving them their dry food once in the morning and it’s a small amount and then again at night.

Not sure how much pellet feed you are giving but you can reserve some of his pellet ration and use that as treats. I would cut out the fruit and use it only as a special treat for after something like a nail trim. Even then it should be a very small amount (like a single blueberry).

You can give salad every day as long as your bun tolerates it. I…[Read more]

What would you recommend that I give him for treats after his issue is 100% better that won’t be bothering him? He loves his treats and his brother does too!

I will keep you Posted on how my boy is doing

I’m thinking if I remember yes. They were heart and circle shapes. One was apple but I can’t remember what the other one is.

He’s probably sensitive to the fruit. What you listed are said to be “safe” for rabbits, but not all rabbits are able to handle fruit. Fruit should be given sparingly, but some just can’t have it at all.

Are the Oxbow treats the “cookie” kind?

Oxbow Timothy Orchard hay and once in a while oat hay

Oxbow essential dry food

greens/herbs every other day

fruit -blueberries, bananas, every other day and sometimes strawberries and apples

treats – oxbow treats 2-3 a day and I had been hiding them for foraging purposes

my other bunny has the same diet and no issues.

I use the bottles for…[Read more]

If he started eating hay and some poops last night looked normal, he is improving and it’s OK to monitor. I would keep an eye on things until he’s eating 100% normally, but def withhold treats for a while!

Can you describe his diet in detail? Maybe we can identify something that would make him more prone to issues (but it’s likely just from too…[Read more]

I was able to get him to eat hay in his paper towel tube. I noticed when I cleaned out his litter box this morning he had poops that looked normal. Because of his issues he was having yesterday I put newspaper on his towel in his cage and he peed on that but he didn’t have pee in his litter box.
this morning he was climbing on a box I have for t…[Read more]

It sounds like intermittent soft cecotropes. This can happen if a bun gets (or happens too find) food that’s especially nutrient-dense. It’s not true diarrhoea. It is not a vet emergency. It will right itself if you cut out the energy/nutrient-dense food and get the bun back on a diet consisting of mostly hay and water.

These things happen. It…[Read more]
