Bunbun has made a full recovery!

I wouldn’t say they happen frequently, but it’s happened enough that I’m able to deal with it quickly, and thankfully the CC and Simethicone work like a charm every time. 😀
Thanks again to everyone for the advice and information. 🙂

I have a feeling that in this case, it was either Bunbun swallowing a little of…[Read more]

A dental issue does seem like the most likely cause. I had a bun who had the tiniest molar spurs, so tiny the vets didnt believe his inappetence was caused by a dental problem. After 3 weeks of syringe feeding (which he definitely didnt appreciate), they decided to do a molar burr. After the burr it took 5 days before he started to eat on his own,…[Read more]

omg would ya just look at her! so precious! <3

I think you should keep going! fights are sometimes unavoidable during bonding, best to get back on the horse! The fur flying can make things really dramatic, but it’s best to keep going if you can and the fighting isn’t too bad (it doesn’t sound like it was too bad).

But if you can, I’d go to a more neutral area, or at least remove the litter…[Read more]

Hmm that’s very strange! The corner peeing sounds more like marking. He’s not marking anywhere outside his pen right? Have there been any changes in the house? new pets, people, or cleaning products?  Him going to the groomers could be triggering him to want to mark when he gets home, but I would probably only expect that right when he got home,…[Read more]

You could start with a few hours a day, but ideally to “cement” a bond they should spend at least 48 hours together (and have no aggression during that time).

Excellent! thanks for the update!

How long has it been since he ate?

If he hasn’t eaten since his dinner last night, then you should consider this an emergency (he could be fully in stasis) and get him to the vet ASAP.

You can try giving him gas drops and another tummy rub while you are waiting to get to the vet, but if it really has been since last night since he atea anything…[Read more]

I store mine (unmixed) in the freezer.

Just catching up on this, sorry he’s still up and down.

I saw back in the thread that he had a dental a year ago? Did he improve after that? If so it could just be that he due for another one? Just wondering how thorough his check up was. Sometimes even a tiny spur will make a bun get really picky about food, and pain in itself can cause gut…[Read more]

*sigh*

Feeling deflated, Glenn is still a bit up and down, polished off his breakfast of salad and pellets this morning but now is a bit meh, reduced appetite again.

I got to the vets today but my train ended up being 20 minutes late so I missed my appointment but because I was there the vet squeezed us in but could only see us for a quick 5…[Read more]

For the sake of my sanity too… They suddenly had a fight yesterday 😔 Lucky it was very easy to break them up: just a HEY! and a tap on the back stopped them enough so I could separate them.

Before that there was some chasing going on, and I was filming it because I wanted to ask people here: is this still acceptab….? oh SH…!!@ Well, there I…[Read more]

Ellie, they’re so adorable together! They’d better bond, if only for the sake of aesthetics 🥰🐰🐰

Woohoo! Glad that it went well ^_^ Hoping for a speedy recovery for Archie!

Update: He got neutered this morning and is now safe and home <3

Critical Care Tips and Tricks

Oxbow actually mentions you can freeze CC to extend shelf-life, but too many freeze-thaw cycles can break down the nutrients too much.
