I agree, I don’t think you need to worry.

I’m definitely dreaming of an easier cleaning set-up! And having all their “stuff” in one spot!  I think if I kept the door open during the day when we are around it will be a good set-up for them, because they would still be allowed access to the same rooms they are now. I would def need to put some litter boxes around the house, but hopefully…[Read more]

I agree, 3 weeks is plenty of time for him to settle and 1 hour is not a long drive at all.

I usually like to keep the bun’s litter box slightly dirty when I move them to a new place. Having it already smell like them helps them adjust pretty quickly. 🙂

You might try mixing the med she doesnt like with some mashed banana. That usually works for my buns!

Sadly the bun I had with an abscess had some other serious issues going on and passed away. His abscess did resolve though (after a molar extraction and several weeks of pen-g injections). I think imaging is a good idea.

Hello,

The vet spoke with me today and I will be taking her in Tuesday to get a full x-ray of her head done to see what could be causing another abscess to pop up again. Probably best to get an overall picture just incase there was something missed. I’m still waiting for a quote on the price. I know abscesses can be difficult to heal and have a…[Read more]

Its not too short time imo. Its 3 weeks, plenty of time for him to settle in and enjoy the holidays with you.

Another upside to a bunny room is that I found it was easier to clean. You’re not reaching into a condo, for example. Everything was movable too, so I could easily vacuum and put things back. They would, of course, rearrange to their liking afterward because I was incapable of putting things back just right.

She is, Thanks! i can’t send a pic (Not good with my computer haha) But she seems happy and is going pooping/peeing normally, so no GI stasis 😀

Some buns are a lot more reactive than others! My Cooper is like this, especially if it’s very quiet in the house. A small noise will trigger him to sound the alarm! I usually do some voice reassuring but just leave him be. He tends to go back to normal quickly.

If you notice this happening a lot, adding some white noise (like a fan or quiet…[Read more]

FYI there are two formulas for Emeraid. One is the acute, immediate recovery formula, recommended for buns after surgery.  The one I feed Bun Jovi called “Sustain” and is recommended for longer term supplemental feeding.

Are you talking about for permanent set up (“home base”), or exercise space? And do you have 1 bunny or two?

A 4 x 4 pen OK for 2 bonded bunnies for a home base but it is not big enough if they spend 100% of their time there (the HRS guidelines are 8 sq ft the cage, and 24 sq ft for exercise). Buns should get at least a few hours of exercise per…[Read more]

Thank you, that makes me feel better! I did offer him some arugula during this too, and he gladly took that, then I got to thinking I didn’t want him to associate arugula with being scared, and THEN I decided I was an overthinking psycho and headed here 😂

Oh dear, please do update us after you hear from the vet! Abscesses can pop up seemingly overnight. 🙁

That’s great she loves CC! Lots of good things in there to help her gut.

Thumping is not rare 🙂

I think you did great. Since rabbits are flight animals, they tend to hate being lifted up or even touched when they’re  scared. It just stresses them out further. Imo its better to talk to them in a calm, normal voice and to offer a small treat.

Offering a treat is good because it’s not just soothing, it’s also a way for…[Read more]

It great that she eats CC! Mixed CC contains a lot of water, so while she’s on CC, she doesn’t need to drink very much.

Hopefully she’ll keep improving, but if refusal to eat persist beyond a few days, you should seek veterinary care to try and figure out what’s wrong.

Update: I finally got the critical care in the mail and she gobbled it up! I hope this helps her tummy faster. She still isn’t drinking as much as I would like
