So I may have asked this before woth Bella – ideas on bonding a very scared bun!

But this time with Nellie its different, she is petrified, she trembles in fear for the most of the session and she still doesn’t like us petting her so I don’t think she gets any comfort in that either.

The only time she relaxed was during an earlier session weeks…[Read more]

I’m sorry to hear that your rabbit is unwell, Thrianta are stunning rabbits.

I’ve never had a bun with gas GI stasis given antibiotics from the vet. The go-to GI stasis treatment by my vets have always been x-ray to check for blockage, then sub-q fluids, pain medication and gut motility medication.

Is he pooping or eating at all? Or completely…[Read more]

Update 11 hours in: There was a small chasing episode at around 9 hours- not sure what started it as I had stepped out of the room, but everyone settled quickly after I calmed them down a bit and there were no bites. Shockingly, Sage just now groomed Salem, for what I’m assuming is the first time. In this bonding episode, Bear has groomed Salem,…[Read more]

Small Pet Select makes one, but it’s a bit pricey.

It is very good to scatter food or feed pellets in a treat ball etc, because it mimics how a wild rabbit forages. Rabbits are hard-wired to have to work for their food. Our domesticated buns retain a lot of their ancestors’ wild-type behaviours (as do horses, horses and rabbits are very similar digestion-wise).

Thank you so much! He seems completely fine this afternoon. He is playing, eating, and pooping normally. I also thought that it would be very unlikely for an otherwise healthy adult bunny to choke on parsley or cilantro, but I just wanted to see what others thought. I am very worried all the time about him developing upper respiratory infections…[Read more]

I completely forgot to check for replies, oops! Lol I’ve been trying to stay off the internet for the last couple of weeks and completely forgot I made this post until I started bonding today.

I didn’t do any prebonding, but so far it seems to be going really great! Obviously preparing for tonight because naughty bunny scuffles tend to start up…[Read more]

Well  it’s difficult to say. I had a bun that got aspiration pneumonia after having nrar choked on a pellet. Idid the bunny Heimlich and all and he was “fine” after -but he developped pneumonia later, which was successfully treated with a 2 week course of Bactrim (antibiotic). The only symptom I noticed was that he made a sort of twittering sound…[Read more]

Hmm, she could be feeling a bit gassy and uncomfortable. My first step is usually a tummy rub and simethicone. Will she eat hay if you offer it to her by hand?

If it helps shes laying down with what it seems her body is stretched and i caught her sleeping, idk its so weird of her to be tired at this time. Ill monitor her to make sure shes eating hay.
