I think it was a combination of everything that caused the stasis. I was gone all day in class, there was noise from our upstairs neighbors, and he had to be in a confined area since he would tear up the carpet and chew on the baseboards in my apartment. I think it was just a combination of all of those changes to his environment that caused it in…[Read more]

Question – You said he lived in an apartment with you before and he was doing good. Are you sure the move back to your apartment is what caused the stasis episode? Or could it be a coincidence? I assume you will be living somewhere else since this is grad school instead of undergrad. Perhaps you can find a less noisy apartment?

It’s been a lot better, but there are still some really bad off days. I woke up this morning to this lol.

What type of wood do you give him? Different types of woods have different flavors so you might just not hav3 found the right type of rabbit safe wood that they like

I’m glad he is using the litterbox more now. It really does sound like it was a litterbox/litter issue.

Yes, food-oriented toys tend to be more popular with bunnies that “don’t care for” toys.

There isn’t solid evidence that probiotics are beneficial. So yes, some vets may say they are a waste of money. Anecdotally, people have had good results from giving probiotics to their rabbits. And, as Bam said, you’re not going to hurt anything by giving them.

Benebac is the brand most people are familiar with. It’s sold on Amazon.

I’m sure she will go back to her pellets soon. Alfalfa hay is OK for now, but she really needs to eat more grass hay (in general). You can try different varieties. Some bunnies like oat hay, for example.

As Bam said, plain rolled oats are OK to give when a bunny is recovering from something or if they are elderly and having trouble maintaining…[Read more]

Hello Daisy!

what a cutie! Look at that shiny black fur and floppy ears!! 🥰

@Bam Thanks, I tried mushing a few slices of banana with her pellets which she definitely went for. I also tried adding her favorite topper mix to her pellets. She’s a smart bunny and immediately started sifting threw her pellets for the topper bits. Lol

As for her eating hay she really doesn’t touch her orchard grass hay, I do have some alfalfa…[Read more]

The only toy my Bam ever took any interest in was a treat ball. He was very food-oriented, so I guess he thought the treat ball was worthwhile 😂

Things just keep getting better! They’ve spent the last 6 hours munching and sleeping together, cuddling up and some bouts of 1 sided grooming. They even played together a little (wreaking havoc) and are sharing a (new) litter box together.

We’ve had one bicker today and that was when they were snuggled up together, side by side for about 30 mins…[Read more]

Hi Daisy! You’re adorable! 🥰

Thank you so much! I think you’re right, he probably just got some hay in his nose that made him sneeze. He seems fine today. His nose was damp last night and he was breathing fast, but his nose is dry this morning.
