Yep, check the ingredients. If it’s just dehydrated fruit, then it should be fine. As the others said, in moderation.

Yes, natural fibers and twines are safe.

The string is likely a natural fiber so it should be fine breaking down in the gut, especially since your rabbit is grinding it significantly before swallowing.

I agree with Dana, fruit isn’t bad in moderate amounts. And since these treats are dried, they’ll keep for a long time, if you just give them in small amounts. Keeping the goodies in the freezer will make them last beyond the expiration dates by a long time.

Good to know.  I’m so so sorry for your loss.  If it’s been a month, you might also consider experimenting with doing bunny dates at a shelter and/or trying the fostering idea someone else suggested, whenever it seems right to you.  I’m sure your instincts as you listen to your surviving bunny will steer you right.  Good luck and I’m so sorry again!

If they are just fruit, they are safe but should be fed in small amounts. So that amount should last you a very long time!

She is adorable! Sorry about all the bunstruction but so glad Ivy and Loki get along

Thank you so much for your advice Meg! My bunny (the one in my profile) passed about a month ago. My surviving bunny did get to see his body. Thank you for your advice on bonding with her again. I will make sure to try your suggestions!

This really does suck.  No two ways about it.  I’m so, so sorry.

But you’re taking such a thoughtful approach and I hope the vet appt helps ease your mind a bit for now.

That’s interesting about Myra.  On the buns not being around in their friend’s final moments, I read something convincing a while back that it’s not that they’re trying to ab…[Read more]

Thank you <3

Myra still looks after him, but definitely spends a lot of time away from him, which I’ve noticed as well. I hope she will stick with him at the end… I have had it go both ways with my buns, and it’s heartbreaking to see one abandon the other in their final moments, although I know it’s an evolutionary thing and I shouldn’t…[Read more]

Oh my goodness, I see what you are saying now.  I’m so, so sorry.

This sounds so hard, and I’m sending you big hugs.  Bun Jovi has been so lucky to find a home with such a skilled and caring human, and I’m sure you know better than anyone how to read him.  I hope he helps in making it clear what he wants.

And maybe Myra can help too.  Athena and…[Read more]

Well at the first appointment the vet thought his quality of life was still fine. But since then his appetite has tanked (eats almost no hay, barely wants salad or pellets). He isn’t responsive to affection from me (he never tooth purrs anymore). He is starting to have that sort of glazed look all the time. We just bumped up his pain meds and no…[Read more]

I tend to be on the more cautious side and go to the vet if there are valid suspicion of a sprain/fracture, like limping, swelling, or fixated grooming in an area. In the absence of those signs, I’d be less concerned.

Of note, in general stasis is not a condition brought about spontaneously so if you are concerned, you could share information…[Read more]

You can also try rearranging and/or changing the flooring. If he’s expressing general frustration with that area just not doing what he wants, switching it up may be nice.

Yeah, it sounds like you have the perfect setup!  🙂  You can use this form if you want to share all the details of their care: https://binkybunny.com/bunnyinfo/bunny-sitter-guide-2/

I think your bunny be fine, but if you’re very concerned, one option if you feel like doing *the most* is to get a plush/stuffed animal and keep it in your bed for a…[Read more]

A stressful incident or a scare can definitely mess their the poops a bit. Things should go back to normal though after a couple of days. Is she better now?

One thing to look out for when a bunny falls is a mouth injury. Broken limbs, etc. are fairly obvious. But people don’t always think about broken front teeth or cuts to their gums from…[Read more]

Hugs to you and yours.

When my Pug, Lia, was killed by coyotes before she was three, and it took me two hours to find her body, I was surprised that the other dogs were not interested in her body.

When my Aussie, Jessica, passed (we had let her out and she went to the neighbors), we didn’t think to let our other Aussie, Sara, see her and it took…[Read more]
