Yes, it can definitely become a game! That’s why the effectiveness really depends on what the underlying motivation is.

That’s a relief!

They won’t go away on their own. But if they aren’t hurting anything, then you probably don’t need to do anything. It isn’t unusual for bunnies to have low-grade pinworm infestations.

Hi HareIvoryWhiskers  and very welcome to the BB forums! We’re just happy that you did figure out whas going on, and that it wasn’t some awful illness! With rabbits things are rarely quite straightforward. Behavioral issues can be worked on!

This is the first time I have seen the worms on her. Will they go away on their own, or will they just stay in her with no negative affect?

My first question is to ask how did you introduce these veggies and pellets? What size amount did you give for how long? Introducing new foods correctly can be the key difference between a rabbit tolerating them or not. Their gut bacteria needs time to adjust.

It looks like rabbit pinworms. They’re very common and do as a rule not pose a health threat. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/pinworms-in-rabbits

I think hers are pinworms. So I could just buy a dewormer and I wouldn’t have to take her to the vet?

I think Daisy may have gotten the worms from eating grass. We put her in a pen outside for a few hours each day and she obviously eats grass. I will NOT be letting her eat grass anymore. I don’t see how else she could’ve gotren them, as she’s an only bun.

Most worms that affect buns do not harm. They’re mostly disgusting to the bun owner. Could you get us a picture or find one online that resembles the worms you saw?

There are dewormers that can be used for buns. Fenbendazole (one brand name is Panacur) is one. Ivermectin is effective against some internal parasites.

I have not. But she likes throwing regular bowls and cups so maybe I should try that

Oh dear!

Thank you for the update and of course no need to apologize! And yes what a relief it isn’t an illness!

Of course if your friend wants help with re-bonding/bonding you could encourage her to make an account and give us more info 🙂

Ohh!

No need to apologize obviously! Just so great that she’s found out the cause of his weight loss, and that it isn’t some horrible illness!

I got a message from her today and she wants to apologize, she figured out what made her male lose weight. Her female was being a bully to him, she chased him away from the hay rack so she’s going to seperate them and hope for the best.

It is a screw that comes with some Oxbow toys, however, you can find them in craft stores/Etsy.
