Considering his age, I assume he isn’t neutered yet. This may be his hormones starting to kick in.

I agree with Wick. That looks like more than just dry skin. If it’s mites, then you will want to have them identified. Some medications are ineffective against certain types of mites. Yes, both ivermectin and Revolution are considered safe for rabbits. A vet will be able to advise you on an appropriate treatment depending on the mite. Oftentimes…[Read more]

Anything left untreated will naturally get worse — there are very little things in the pet rabbit world that are self-resolving.

Revolution is rabbit-safe; however, as I mention, please do not attempt to self-medicate your rabbit without having them seen by a rabbit-savvy vet to confirm what is actually going on, in addition to receiving…[Read more]

Sorry I meant Revolution. If gone untreated could it be harmful?

Would over the counter ivermectin be safe for rabbits?

Welcome to Binkybunny!

Before considering how to reliably purchase hay, I encourage you to review the following webpage thoroughly to help inform your decision on whether a pet rabbit is right for you presently: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Deciding_on_a_rabbit

If, after review, you feel a pet rabbit is still a consideration… to your question,…[Read more]

That looks like a pretty dense amount to just be dried skin — I’d have her assessed by a vet. Please do not attempt to self-diagnose/-medicate for skin-related ailments at home, as there are many flea/mite treatments advertised as safe for dogs/cats that are actually toxic/lethal for rabbits.

As a PSA, any medication containing fipronil should…[Read more]

I couldn’t put it on here through Binky Bunny, so its through my Pinterest

Do you have a photo?

I couldnt say that they’re similar to parrots, rabbits obviously dont have crops, but they do have big cecums, being hind-gut fermenters, and they can get cecal impaction.

My buns have chewed fabric, I’ve had to mend lots of bed linen and also favorite t-shirts etc, using the Japanese boro-technique. But I’ve had no instance of gut impaction,…[Read more]

Interesting, so it is rather similar to parrots just a little less severe? I intend to adopt an older pair from a rescue in my state so I will clarify with the rescue on their chewing habits before I determine what I’ll line their pen with.

So the litter box I have now, the gray one, has the dimensions 18″x15″x5″. I looked up a few dish bussing trays on amazon, but the dimensions are either smaller or the same. I think the dimension I have now is too small for both of them to fit.

How many liters was the dish bussing tray you have? It seemed like 8L or 13L dish bussing trays were…[Read more]

Here’s a good website that lists information on pellets and ways to discern “good” from “bad”. There are many pellet brands that hit all the needed markers, in which case it is up to owner preference and accessibility to a certain extent on which you feed: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Pellets

All of Oxbow’s adult pellet varieties do indeed do…[Read more]

The go-to phrase I’ve heard is that cotton is “safest” because it’s most natural and therefore has a better chance of breaking down in the GI — whether there is truth in that, I don’t know. In general, rabbits can and will chew on mainly everything, so it is being mindful of what material they are actively ingesting in large quantities that is…[Read more]

I wouldnt ssy cotton is safe for buns if they ingest it. Many buns only chew fabric though, and wont actually eat it. For rabbits, fleece is often recommended, if they hapoen to ingest a tiny bit of fleece, it’s likely to come through.

I never give a rabbit cotton unless I know it’s a rabbit that won’t actually eat it. They will make holes in…[Read more]
