Yep, I think I just replied to this same question in the other thread. I don’t use a grid but I do use a screen. Make sure the grid isn’t hard on her feet, as it can lead to hock issues and also discourage her from using the box.

At the rescue I volunteered at, they only used hay as litter. We would add a bunch of hay to the litter box and fluff…[Read more]

Peeing on the hay is normal. They will pick through and find good pieces. I usually offer hay in a rack as well as in the box to make sure they always have some clean hay available.

I do a layer of bedding (either carefresh or pine pellets), and then a layer of hay on top. When I used carefresh I didn’t full cover all the litter with hay, I would…[Read more]

Sometimes buns will get some hay dust in their nose and start sneezing, so I’m guessing that was what happened in this case. Of course I didn’t see what happened, but from your description this doesn’t sound like a choking incident.

My bunny had the same problem but when I stopped for a few months had her just hay and pellets, and tried again slowly she had soft poops so I had just romaine and about 1/4 leaf for a week and than she was getting better 2 years later and her diet is mainly veggies

Thanks Dana, that’s one worry out the window.

first date:

I blocked off a corner in the dining area, completely neutral to both buns. I don’t think it went very well and honestly it stressed me out so I kept it to about 10/15 mins.

they sniffed around a bit and then Freya lunged at Tyb and growled when I pushed her head away. They were exp…[Read more]

I had a bun who was on long term high-dose meloxicam. I gave it together with ranitidine, later pepcid when raditidine was withdrawn. This was to avoid gastric ulceration, which is a concern with long term meloxicam.

My bun seemed fine on his daily meloxicam.

We currently have a member whose bun Teddy is on long term high dose meloxicam together…[Read more]

From what I can see, the UK brand Protexin has launched a few products in Australia (my guess is that’s why your domestic Protexin has changed its name to Pron8ure). They dont seem to have launched any of their rabbit-specific products in Australia, though, but maybe they will? You could perhaps e-mail them and ask? It seems Synbiotic D-C is…[Read more]

Awesome. Is there a website you buy yours from? I want to see if they will ship to Australia.

I don’t have an issue giving it to her because that’s the only thing she is getting apart from hay and grass. She gets max 3ml a day. All pellets and veggies seem to make her tummy upset.

It’s like her treat at the moment. Poor thing I feel so bad for…[Read more]

I use Protexin, but it doesnt seem to be the same Protexin as in Australia (which is now Pron8ure). The one’s I have contain a strain of saccaromyces cerevisiae (brewer’s yeast) which occurs naturally in the healthy rabbit gut.

I also have capsules with enterococcus faecium, which I can see that Pron8ture probiotics also contain. It is a…[Read more]

That is very good! It doesnt look like hia wye is leaking on your picture. I’d try to clean it gently with a wet piece of fabric (lukewarm water). It is a bit weird, but it seems more like sth to keep an eye on than an emergency.

Thank you for the response.

It says it’s oil based, not entirely oil.

Can I ask which probiotics you use?

Thank you so much!

Yes, you absolutely couldn’t have known.  I do understand your feelings, though.  Bunnies are so wonderful and perfect, it really feels like they deserve *perfect* care, like the kind that an omniscient, omnipotent caregiver could provide.  And while I understand on an abstract level that I’m only human, honestly that do…[Read more]

Unrelated, your habitat set-up is beautiful! Looks very easy to clean hehe.
