For rabbit experienced vets and rabbits who are generally of good health, anesthesia is typically safe and many make it out fine. Fingers crossed that things are going well!

GI transit time is about 6 hours I believe, so if he’s doing fine following that, you’re likely in the clear!

He seems to be doing okay. I can’t tell if he passed it or not, but he’s eating and drinking and pooping like normal, and he doesn’t seem to be in any pain. He’s asleep right now, but he ate some treats earlier.

Awww! He’s adorable! Hope bonding goes well 🙂

Hope He’s ok!

Thanks! she was getting a lot better, but then I went on a vacation for a weekend, and my mom took care of her, and now she is terrified and runs away whenever i come near. My mom is great with buns, and my bun loves her, so idk what happened. maybe she’s is just scared of me because i have new smells on me? Or did she forget me? How long is a buns memory?

She is at the vet currently, getting stitches. I can send a pic as soon as i can, but it might be a few hrs. Apparently she needs anesthesia, which i’m very nervous about…

Btw, fleece is typically made of polyester. There is cotton fleece, but polyester fleece is warmer and wont absorb moisture the way cotton typically does.

Wool is another option, sometimes you can buy used wool blankets cheap in charity shops etc. Give them a wash in 30 C and they’ll be very good for insulation. If they felt somewhat in the wash,…[Read more]

Could you add some sheets of wood between them and the blankets? That would also add some insulation and protection from the wind. Potentially adding some plastic sheeting to the screens in the porch would also help.

So glad she perked up! Nothing like threatening with a trip to the vet to get a bun to snap out of it! LOL  I literally tell my buns, “if you don’t start eating we are going to the vet!” and it’s weird how often it works haha

In seriousness, I like to give a bit of fluids along with simethicone at the first signs of issues, because slight gut…[Read more]

I dont think polar fleece is safer than any other fleece. It might be warmer though.

The reason we often use fleece for our buns is that it’s non-woven. That means it doesnt have long threads that the bun can swallow. Rabbits however dont like to swallow stuff that they havent chewed into small fragments first.

Rabbits cope well with cold as…[Read more]

My rabbits live on our porch which is enclosed. I only cover their cages at night during winter months. Because the porch is not heated and it has only screens in the windows.  I was just wondering if blankets are safe and if it can be none polar fleece

I’m glad she perked up! This could’ve been an uncomplicated bout of gas.

Please send us a picture. Bring her indoors if possible, if she lives outside. You dont want her to get cold (wounded rabbits are more sensitive to low temperature).

Wounds should as a rule be cleaned, but if you can get to a vet within a few hours, it might be better if you dont mess with the wound.

I ended up calling the only emergency vet that specializes in exotic pets, the were so backed up the said they would call me if they ended up with an opening. They did, and said I could bring her in around midnight. Well as soon as I went and got car ready and was about to put her in her carrier she started perking up. I gave her a small  syringe…[Read more]

I’m Hoping they’ll fall in love lol. Can’t get him neutered til January 🙁 for now they’ll have to be neighbors but that’s ok, all good things take time.

Just gave her the metcam, letting her hide in her box for a bit as don’t want to stress her out too much. How long does it usually take to have an affect?

What a handsome little guy!
