Activity

Hopefully a bit of exposure therapy will help her, poor girl. She’s such a soft soul and Glenn is just entirely too much when bonding lol. I try and limit his mounting but he’s a bit frenzied at the moment, it was pretty much all he wanted to do during the last session… Hopefully he relaxes more today.

Do you happen to know of any ways to try…[Read more]

Thank you for your reply.

The vet said she has been giving him antibiotics as a preventative measure in case this gas was due to an E. Cuniculi infection. I forgot to mention that he is also getting motility meds.

As per the last update I have received he did poop some but not a lot and ate some of it. He is eating some hay, but he still has to…[Read more]

Thank you so much! I was just looking at the ExquisiCat Naturals, but saw that it has baking soda and something called Zoolite. Is there a different one that maybe I can’t seem to find?

I have not actually used these two yet, but these are the new choices of litter I just purchased to try since Yesterday’s News is no longer being made:

• ExquisiCat Naturals
• Fresh News

Hopefully this is helpful to you!

That’s great! Things sound like they are going really well!

Awww poor Nellie!

I think I would just take things slow and keep sessions short at first. Don’t worry about petting her but you can prevent Glenn from chasing her when she tries to move away from the mounting. The mounting may calm down on its own after a few more sessions.

Hi there, I’m so sorry you are having issues with your buns.

So, just to clarify, it sounds like you have two unbonded rabbits? If your buns don’t groom each other or cuddle, it sounds like they are in a tolerance phase of living together, which would explain a ton of the behaviors you are seeing. If your bunnies are truly un bonded, not only are…[Read more]

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).

A bun owner really needs to be…[Read more]

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]
