Hi Bruno’s mama!!! 😃

I buy hay directly from a farm, but I’m not in the USA. In the USA, horse hay is often mixed with alfalfa,sometimes a 50/50% ratip. That is obviously not goid for adult buns. Horse hay that doesnt have alfalfa is generally good for rabbits though, rabbits and horses can eat the same grass hays (alfalfa isnt a grass, its a…[Read more]

Hello!

I normally order Small Pet Select Value Hay through Amazon. It’s a 10lb box for around $20 (free shipping with Prime) and has been consistently good quality.

They also always have a cute postcard tucked inside with some sort of adorable photo of a small furry critter (buns, piggies, rats, etc). One time, the bun pictured was the exact…[Read more]

I believe you can buy directly from Small Pet Select and Rabbit Hole Hay. You can buy large boxes (40lb+) from them.

Hi Brunosmama! Haven’t seen you in awhile! Sorry your post wasn’t approved right away. We were having some issues. Anyway, congrats on the new boy!

Hmm… well, sometimes it is pretty obvious that a bunny has been neutered and sometimes it isn’t. For example, if they had some good sized testicles then there would be some notable empty sacks left…[Read more]

No no, in the half bath/hallway, they are all great! The sleep on their bed together, eat together, have nose to nose secret meetings, etc. Fully bonded in that space, if there is such a thing. They have been around the clock consecutively since 11/1 with another two weeks prior, and more time prior but not consecutively. Never had issues at all,…[Read more]

Have you tried any 1-on-1 time? It sounds like your pair has a really strong bond and they are happy to shut the new bunny out.

They have been in neutral 2×4, and then expanded to 4×4, for over a week around the clock. This not an open 4×4 but a 2×4 and then a doorway out to another 2×4.

What I’ve learned actually, is this has little to do with neutral vs non-neutral; it just happened that way because my neutral spaces are small. When NewBoyBun thinks he can run, he runs…[Read more]

There are wholesalers that sell parts for toy-making on Etsy, those are the only wholesalers I know about though! I can send you the name of the shop if you’d like? They make toys as well, if I’m thinking of the right Etsy shop.

I think Bam might be on to something. WBCs are a little high. I also notice creatinine is a little high. This is one measure of kidney function. I would suggest exploring this further. Yes, GI stasis can cause elevated numbers on blood tests. But the gas and stasis episodes could also be a secondary symptom of something else.

As it says in the vet statement, it could perhaps be about pain from the kidney/urinary tract. Pain anywhere in the body of a rabbit can become apparent as GI trouble. It doesnt take a lot, gas will form if the gut slows, the bun gets gas pain and will often lose its appetite when the gas builds up. Kidney stones can be extremely painful for…[Read more]

This is pretty normal. The risk is much lower in young rabbits, especially males being neutered. However, if you are worried, then I’m sure you can request it.

Where I am, bloodwork before a neuter is not done routinely on young healthy male buns. You could probably request bloodwork if you’re very worried.
