Thanks for the feedback!

About the one leaf thing it’s just an estimate since I cut up my veggies, wouldn’t one leaf everyday for a week be equal to 2-3 leaves 2-3 times a week?

The way I feed dahlia is pretty similar to what DanaNM does, mostly just lettuces and herbs and then one high oxalate or high calcium veggie that makes up a really sma…[Read more]

I don’t have any pictures but i’ll definitely get some when it happens again. They will both be 3 months on July 1st. I’m not completely sure if it’s both, i’ll have to separate for a day to know for sure. It’s been happening every day for the past 2 or 3 days. I give them alfalfa and timothy pellets but more of the alfalfa (1/4 scoop for them to…[Read more]

They will both be 3 months on July 1st. I’m not sure if it’s both bunnies, i’ve been trying to keep an eye on both of their poops. I’ll have to separate for a day to be sure. I give them both alfalfa and timothy pellets (more alfalfa) and I give them timothy hay. I’ll sometimes give them alfalfa hay as a treat. I use the oxbow brand for all their…[Read more]

Yup, it means she really digs you 😉

I’m glad that she has an appointment scheduled, and I can imagine that you’re looking forward to it as well. Hormonal rabbits can get so crazy and very very pushy.

Our girl Molly was peeing and pooping everywhere too, but that wasn’t the worst. It was the constant humming and tooting sound that she made. It…[Read more]

I can see it!

Small poops, egg shaped poops, and mucous are indicative of gastric irritation, which could be due to a slow down. Are you sure they are coming from both rabbits?

I would keep encouraging lots of hay eating and limit treats and any sugary things you are feeding them. I agree that some info on their ages and diets would be helpful!

That looks like a very nice variety in a salad!

To my knowledge, collards are not actually high in oxalate (none of the cabbage family veggies are), just calcium, plus the gas issues you noted. The main ones to worry about oxalate in are spinach, parsley, chard, and beet tops. So you wouldn’t want to feed two of those veggies in the same…[Read more]

@Bam: I really had to laugh at your phrasing and showed it to Bas. Then he said: “That’s exactly what Molly did to me yesterday!” She started to spray urine and poop again now that Owen is unwell.

A litter screen is sometimes very helpful in preventing digging. Also a larger litterbox can also help, and, counter-intuitively, one with low sides too. While high-sides prevents litter from coming out, it sometimes serves as a bowl that just encourages the rabbit to dig and dig and dig since the litter just keeps falling back in.

To be safe, I’d just give 2-3 times a week. In actuality, giving just a leaf every day, especially if paired with proper hydration and hay eating, likely won’t do much, but we are not nutritionists nor veterinarians, so I at least cannot say anything definitively.

Can you provide some more specific details? This can include pictures too.

• How old are your rabbits? Is it both of them, or just one having odd poops?
• How often is this actually happening (e.g., every day, a couple times a month…)
• What exactly is in their diet (name, brand, type) and what amounts are being presented of each?

Since this…[Read more]

What the fluff…? They didn’t believe it?

Everywhere we went with Breintje people just smiled and told us that they were happy to see such a healthy senior. (Often followed by very sad tales about the rabbits they usually see. Damn, working with animals must be really depressing… They see so much neglect and animals dying long before their…[Read more]

Yeah, it’s a little worrisome that they didn’t believe you. I hope Bun Jovi really goes for breaking some real records in age!

Yep, that’s a lovely moult monster ^_^

Looks lovely! Not a trace of irritation.

Hey i took your advice and this is his bald spot, looks like hes already growing fur
