Awww that’s wonderful! Thank you for the update! I love when buns just “suddenly” decide they are safe. 🙂

I wanted to provide an update on this since it’s been awhile.

I have some very good news, she is letting me pet her and will now come over to me for attention. It was like flipping a switch, one day she was alittle uncertain of me and the next she was all on board with the idea of getting a head scratch.  I continued doing as mentioned in the…[Read more]

My boys have done this occasionally too, especially when they were younger. As long as his weight is good and he eats other food normally I wouldn’t worry too much!

It does sound like he is starting to improve and that’s great you got confirmation about the baytril! Antibiotics can take a bit of time to work and it definitely sounds like he’s a fighter and not ready to give up yet!

Thank you so much for your reply.  He is doing okay in his current setup thankfully.  He stays in his litterbox all the time, except when he gets brave and tries jumping out… I got him a larger litter box since he is spending so much time in it and then he has a bit of space to separate from where I put his food.  Then I put the box inside th…[Read more]

I see thank you so much I’ve never heard of the brand beaphar before is it sold in the US? If so where do you get it I definitely have to look into them thanks again and I can’t wait to get them either sadly the Runt passed away  She had a weaker immune system and with the cold weather and the heating went out it just took a toll on her but the…[Read more]

I definitely cope better with things knowing what’s going on, even if it’s something I can’t do anything about.

I just heard from the vet, his blood work is amazing, no concerns there. She said at this stage age-related epilepsy is most likely, whether that’s brought on chemically or physically by growths is unknown.

On the plus side, if I…[Read more]

Thank you so much, everyone!  Teddy was doing stellar until today, when he was more similar to last Sunday.  Not as bad off and not necessarily doing the tooth grinding thing (but maybe? at one point it was hard to tell if he was doing that or actually chewing), and he’s now started eating a little more (kale and pellets) on his own, so I’m g…[Read more]

It happens. I wouldn’t be overly worried. Yes, he could be “craving” something… but he probably just likes his poop.

Were her normal poops soft, or did she just have extra cecals? It’s pretty normal for young rabbits to have extra cecals because the diet is more rich.

And yes it would be ok to just provide some alfalfa along side her timothy, and give a bit extra pellets. I would also weigh her regularly and feel along her spine and hip bones to make sure she…[Read more]

Oh Thank You! This is good to know. I think I will play it safe and stick to the healthier snacks for them 🙂

Most junior pellets say they are up to 20 weeks though, so i transitioned her from her junior pellets a couple weeks ago as she will be 20 weeks soon and didn’t want to buy a whole new bag of junior pellets. I think I might get her some alfalfa hay and she can have it alongside with the hay she is eating now?

And about the unlimited pellets, I…[Read more]

Thank you that’s really helpful 😀

I think it would be best to just continue with the set-up you have, with one change. As cute as it is for them to give kisses through the bars, that can easily turn into nose-nipping, which can create some bad feelings and make bonding more difficult. I’ve also seen some bad injuries to buns faces from noses being bitten through fencing.  I would…[Read more]

I would syringe feed her if she refuses to eat on her own. Fluids are awesome but she does need some food going in so she doesn’t go into stasis. And definitely contact your vet and give them these updates.

If she is only 4 months old she should have a source of alfalfa in her diet. Most people prefer to feed a junior rabbit pellet with alfalfa, rather than having alfalfa hay, because it can be harder to transition to grass hay when a bun has been getting only alfalfa. But, you can give adult pellets and some alfalfa hay instead. At her age she can…[Read more]
