I agree it sounds like it could be environmental since you mentioned you lapsed a bit on cleaning. Sawdust is not a great option for bedding as the dust itself could irritate their respiratory tract, and woods like pine have aromatic compounds that are harmful to buns over time.

I might try switching to something like pine stall pellets (which…[Read more]

I would look for a large cat carrier or one for a small dog. A wheeled one is a great idea as I’m sure they would make your arm tired!

With bun carriers, it’s OK and actually safer if they are pretty snug in there, because sliding around can cause injuries.

When my buns were in my room (i was in a studio apartment, so it was all one room lol), I definitely had “quiet toys” and “loud toys” for them, and I would only give them the more quiet toys at night. I definitely got used to the normal bunny chewing noises as well. Having a fan on for white noise helps as well.

With any buns, it’s a good idea to…[Read more]

I’m very sorry to hear this, it does sound like a dental issue, so it’s good you are getting her in ASAP. Definitely continue the syringe feeding and pain meds until then, and if she gets worse then push the vet to have her seen sooner.

I had one bun that had some serious dental issues and an abscess. If it does end up being an abscess, I…[Read more]

Hmmm, can you describe her diet in detail? I haven’t used papaya tabs or the oxbow treats but I know many members used to swear by a brand of papaya tabs that has since been discontinued.

Other things to help with gas are tummy rubs, hydration (which keeps things moving along in the gut), encouraging movement, and plenty of fiber in the diet.

Its so cute when bunnies do that. Both of my females do that one more than the other she will look me dead in the eye when I go to see what she is chewing or digging at. She knows when shes being mischievous.

This morning one of my bunnies followed me then when I bent down to stroke her she she will put her head down waiting for a cuddle. She’s…[Read more]

It is a happy noise, but its also a noise a bun makes when it’s courting another bun. It’s more common in intact rabbits, but f ex my neutered girl grunts when she comes running and circles me for a treat.

A territorial bun might growl. It can be accompanied by a lunge or it can just be a warning growl. It’s difficult to interpret it as anything…[Read more]

One of my bunnies loves to dig all the litter and hay out of her litter box. Whenever I catch her doing so I call out “No digging!” And stomp my foot. She almost always stops, stares me dead in the eye and starts flicking it out with her nose instead!!

It is frustrating but very adorable haha

He is not neutered no. I was wondering if it was a territorial noise but it’s when he’s running and binky-ing around! He will also do it when he hears us grabbing hay or his food bag… so again I’m hoping it’s happy noises haha!

Not sure what is available to you, but perhaps look into a larger carrier that you could add a wheel system too…luggage/golf bag thingy.

Hope that made some sense.  Tired, brain not wanting to work!

My favorite bunny moment is just that they are bonded after a long trial and seeing them flopped side by side or sharing some noms.

What about hanging strips of fleece on something so your bunny can tug on it? Someone did that. Was that @DanaNM?

And it’s not the sawdust getting wet and then sticking to their fur?

Hey!

It is good that you are seeing your vet soon, I would mention this to them.

Your bun is quite young so im not sure how likely this is but sometimes belly pressing when seen with frequent drinking and urination can be related to rabbit cystitis, sometimes brought on by UTIs but not always. It is essentially inflammation of the bladder…[Read more]

This is a great tip! Thank you so much!
