frozen water bottles (or such) wrapped in cloth (I used an old pillow case) , for them to lay against… also just cools the area near it. I would also dampen a towel and throw it in the freezer. I saw someone used large  terracotta saucers and froze those for the buns to lay on. I have a scratch and newton icepod that I think is similar (pink…[Read more]

I’ll have to pass you off to @DanaNM for the bonding advice as I really couldn’t have done it with out her! But I will be cheering for your success once you decide to start bonding! & they really are just so complimentary in coloring and size (it really wasn’t planned, she was first single girl bun at shelter, it just was fate!), luckily that also…[Read more]

Thanks Ellie, Miu is back to her sassy self. She’s not very into humans, so that doesn’t help things like vet visits. She is slowly getting better, but I don’t think she’ll ever be like Dorian who to be fair takes the whole snuggle bun concept to new levels. I wonder sometimes if it’s because he was a single bun for a while. Or is she’s just a…[Read more]

that looks like some yoga pose! I have never seen that one before, I think I’d be worried the first time 😀

If the sneezing got worse when you removed the pellets then I’m guessing the pellets are just a coincidence and it’s the URI, unfortunately. 🙁

Not sure what you mean by “give to bunnies”… but the molds are definitely be safe to make treats in (that could then be given to buns), but I wouldn’t give the actual mold to the bun because they would likely chew on it and could eat pieces of it.

Well, she was doing some light sneezing again earlytoday, so we did remove the pine pellets from her litter box and also the bag which was stored in a wicker trunk in the den where she sleeps at night. Same set up as my previous bunny had for years using the pine pellets. I have a small amount of Yesterdays News left, so am using that. I ordered…[Read more]

Hello again!  Here are my thoughts!

So firstly I wouldn’t worry about who is dominant currently and who will be dominant. Honestly it’s often hard to tell, and sometimes we humans end up projecting an outcome on the buns unintentionally that ends up slowing down progress.

Regarding marathoning/unbonding the current pair, etc., going into a…[Read more]

Hmmm I haven’t heard of this, but I suppose it’s possible. Maybe you could take them away and use just hay in the litter box and see if the sneezing goes away?

Yes, it was really crazy. I’ve never had a bun with stasis this long. When the vet said that his gut was completely still I was very very scared. I’m glad that he bounced back to health.

Thank you for saying that I raise them well, it really does me good. I got a very nasty reaction from shelters when my previous bunny Breintje had passed away…[Read more]

76-78 is somewhat borderline, but I think adding a fan and giving them some frozen bottles to lay against they will be a lot more comfortable!

My buns all love laying in front of the fan 🙂

It’s so frustrating when you don’t trust your vet 100%, I just landed in a similar situation myself!

Hopefully you can get to the bottom of things with some tweaks to the diet! I’m sure you know this, but with any diet additions it’s important to go very gradually, especially with bun that’s having some GI issues.

Sometimes adding a variety of…[Read more]

Yes, this is not complaining, I asked Borya for test posts 🙂 🙂 🙂

Awww, poor girl… I hope that the pellets will help to stabilise her gut.

The worry that pellets are too high in calories and fat is only partially true. There are pellets who are very poorly balanced out, but there are many good brands these days.

This is a great website with a comparison chart between the brands, it shows which pellets meet…[Read more]
