We have a dwarf lop that is 3 months and is about the size of him so we were actually worried that he might be smaller then he should for 6 months.

we have him booked in for next Friday for a checkup, desexing and vaccinations. He bonded pretty much straight away with our female dwarf lop but we’re having to keep them separate until he’s been des…[Read more]

Yes, the chances for cancer in unspayed females are high, very high. It’s estimated at >50% by age 4. I’d discuss it with a rabbit savvy vet to see what’s their take on it.

It really varies per bunny how sensitive their tummies are. My boyfriend’s first bunny Waffie was very robust, and his second bunny Breintje had a very fussy digestive system. There’s not one perfect solution, it’s going to take some experimenting to see what helps.

I like the tips about the vegetables and fennel, fennel is indeed a wonderful…[Read more]

Thank you, that touches my heart. We’re still struggling on figuring out what went wrong. Amputation on 4/20, checked her every night when helping her clean, healed beautifully, then all of sudden late May, on one of her nightly bottom check we felt hard flesh (but no opening) on amp site, same hard flesh on the leg that was amputated and it spread fast.

There have definitely been some glitches with this since the site update, so thanks for letting us know!

I’m so sorry to hear that, but it’s clear you did the right thing by her and gave her a wonderful life. <3 Agree with Bam, she was very lucky to have you.

Yes! That’s his “kickstand” leg, as we call it. It’s just slightly turned out, and has prob been like that from birth as far as we can tell! When he stands on his hind legs he often ends up balancing on just one! It doesn’t seem to slow him down at all (!) but I am keeping am close eye on his other foot to make sure his hocks don’t develop issues.

That sounds like a good plan! And since Bohdi is so friendly with people I’m sure he will be happy with your company for the time being. 🙂

Are your current buns spayed? I’m also a bit curious as to what makes you think your buns aren’t well suited for each other now. Do you see any aggression between them?

If you feel your current buns are not tightly bonded, the more likely scenario is that attempting to form a group could lead to their bond breaking and you could end up with some…[Read more]

Hmmm, it may be possible if you take it slow. It used to be more common for unspayed buns to be bonded with neutered males, but it does depend a lot more on the personalities of the buns. If he is mounting relentlessly or she acts very aggressively towards him at their first meeting then it’s unlikely to work out.

For what it’s worth, 8 may not…[Read more]

I wonder if she could be sensitive to an ingredient in her pellets, since you mentioned she gets pellets in the morning and has gas sometimes during the day.

Have you tried putting her on a hay-only diet temporarily to see if that improves things?

For veggies, bell pepper is not really unhealthy, but it also shouldn’t be a staple veggie, if that…[Read more]

I use shepette with BJ and I like to either comb it with the hairbuster comb or a rubber broom first, then shake it out outside before washing it.

I wash it on the “bedding” cycle (if your washer has one) with just the two pieces of shepette I have (I have two big ones), and dry it without anything else in there.

The lint trap does tend to be…[Read more]

That’s good news! Thanks for the updates!

She’s beautiful!

I agree with those ears she could have some flemish in her. I’m not a breed expert but maybe some others will weigh in!

If this dog is just visiting then it would be best if you just kept them separate. Dogs can give rabbits heart attacks just by frightening them, and even small shy dogs are dangerous to rabbits.

Now, if it was a dog that was going to be living with the rabbit then it could be worth doing a very slow introduction process, but since this is just…[Read more]

Yay for poops!!! Just catching up on this and I’m so glad he’s feeling better!

Excellent!

Thanks everyone! In her defense, she did approve a higher dosage, but just wanted me to see if he had the same benefits with a lower one?

But still, if something serious happened I’d want to have 100% confidence!
