Rabbits can live without veggies, as long as they get good quality hay and a moderate amount of pellets. Veggies are rather more enrichment than important nutrition-wise. Rabbits are grass eaters, their bodies incl their teeth are adapted to a diet consisting of plenty of grass. (Hay is, as you know, dried grass). There are rabbits that get…[Read more]

Something is wrong if a bun’s butt is wet after he pees. Wet fur will harm the skin and can cause urine scald and/or offer an ideal environment for skin fungus or bacteria. I’m pretty sure you know all this, so I’m only mentioning it, it could be helpful for other readers of this thread.

You can give a butt bath, and you can give him a sanitary…[Read more]

Cecotropes: If on a young rabbit diet (i.e., primarily alfalfa), excessive cecotrope production is not inherently concerning. Alfalfa is very nutrient dense, which is why we want younger rabbits on it so they grow properly. That being said, it can lead to them producing more cecotropes than they actually need, so them leaving many behind can be…[Read more]

I would have him assessed by a rabbit-experienced exotic veterinarian for what may be an underlying cause. Rabbits should not be urinating on themselves, so whether it is a bladder and/or movement issue, that is something a veterinarian should be able to help you with.

A picture of your litterbox set-up would also be helpful. Our forum is right…[Read more]

Since I have an air filter in my living room, there’s no more hay smell or litter smell. My roommate also said his allergies stopped 🙂

bunny often dream. If he’s asleep, his breathing will slowdown and he might head bops just because he’s dreaming 🙂

Is he resting when he does this? Laying down?

That’s still a really good and cute picture!

The stems are safe. I dont think there’s a limit to peppermint and spear mint. There are types of mint like penny royal that shouldnt be fed to rabbits.

Mint is often beneficial for buns that have stomach issues. If you have lots of mint, you could feed some fresh and dry the surplus and use as a treat or a hay topper during the cold season. I…[Read more]

Hi jerseygirl,

He gets depocillin shots once a week for dental abscesses, it was a regular weekly appointment when he collapsed, wasn’t showing symptoms before.

He’s been on trimebutine before, he has chronic issues with GI Stasis. He’s been on fenbendazole before too and I’ve never seen such a change in him, I can’t tell if it’s from inflam…[Read more]

How lovely, BunnyLass! 🥰

I went to buy new hay for Snoa the other day, but was so disappointed. Snöa’s favorite hay was gone and replaced with this year’s harvest, a thin, wiry hay, the kind buns often dislike. So I got her some Norwegian timothy and she wasnt pleased 😖

Today I had the cutest little encounter in the garden. I didnt manage to…[Read more]
