DesmondMama started the topic Thymoma experiences? in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 2 months ago

Hello everyone,

My dwarf rabbit, Desmond, has recently been diagnosed with a thymoma. Vet did fine needle biopsy and found that the thymoma isn’t malignant, but will continue to grow larger until it kills him. He has been on a low dose of prednisone to reduce the size of the mass, but it is still growing. The vet says surgery or chemotherapy…[Read more]

Thank you so much!! This is perfect. Now I just need to find out which newspaper is safe for rabbits to consume!

It’s wild that mother rabbits can do that. I would imagine this happens with feral rabbits and maybe with domesticated in bad conditions? If only he could tell me what happened himself!

And thanks to everyone who responded!!! I’ll update after we have our well bunny visit 🙂

ahh yeah, it can be so hard to book that initial appointment!
A & CB replied to the topic Bunny with mysterious backstory! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 2 months ago

Rough handling by children could be it. It is interesting because the woman who found him had kids and dogs, but he was always this way so it would have happened before then.

He is also remarkably calm around kids. My 4 year old nephew visited and got his noisy train set out. I was expecting CB to go hide but he was calm and curious, sniffed…[Read more]

Thank you, we think he is very handsome too!

I’ve only had him for 3 weeks and I called the exotic vets around me and they all are booked about 2 months out for the first visit. So he is going to the vet in about a month, but it is so hard to wait! I want to make sure he is doing okay.
Katie started the topic Why does my bunny lick me but not let me pet her? in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 2 months ago

Hey guys! I adopted my bunny around a year ago. She wasn’t very receptive to people petting her, which I totally understand. As she has gotten used to us, she lets people pet her now. Only my mom and dad can but not me. She loves giving me kisses but as soon as I try petting her, she runs away. I don’t know if it’s something I’m doing but I’m con…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan! Glad they are acting relaxed through the divider!
DanaNM started the topic Carpenter ants and fipronil use outside?? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 2 months ago

So, unfortunately we have some carpenter ants coming through the wall, really close to Cooper and Bonnie’s pen. I talked to the pest control people (who are the most eco-friendly ones in town), and they said the most effective thing will be to use fipronil around the foundation of the house outside. UGHHHHH

I know fipronil is super toxic to…[Read more]
DanaNM replied to the topic chewing on plastic litter box in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 2 months ago

My bun went through a phase of this!

Temporarily I clamped pieces of cardboard to the edge using really heavy duty alligator clamps from the hardware store.

I ended up getting a dish bussing tray that’s made of really heavy duty plastic (like the kind cutting boards are made of) and use that as a litter box now. He lost interest in chewing it,…[Read more]

honeybun05 started the topic chewing on plastic litter box in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 2 months ago

i got my rabbit (F, 1 yr old) spayed about three weeks ago and she has recently started chewing on the lip of her litter box. it is one of those cheap, large plastic litter boxes for cats. while she doesn’t seem to be ingesting the plastic, i’m worried that she will hurt herself on the rough/sharp edges that come from her chewing.

any ideas on…[Read more]

asnow replied to the topic Bonding Advice for new owner in the forum BONDING 4 years, 2 months ago

Thank you so much for the advice! Im doing research but its always helpful to hear from people with experience. I did take your advice and put them in a room with a double divider so they cant bite each other and they both seem pretty relaxed, laying next to each other on either side of the divider, grooming on either side etc. I think Im going to…[Read more]
Bunnymom11 started the topic What Breed Is My New Bunny? in the forum THE LOUNGE 4 years, 2 months ago

We found this little cutie at Tractor Supply and couldn’t resist. We’ve owned a rabbit before, so we are familiar with the care needed.

What I don’t know is what breed this baby is? Anyone have any guesses?
DanaNM replied to the topic Thinking of getting my bunny a friend in the forum BONDING 4 years, 2 months ago

I’ll try to answer your questions in order!

So, we were planning on getting our male teenage rabbit a friend, but it turns out he wasn’t neutered. He’s getting neutered on the 1st of June. How long afterwards should we wait before starting to try and find him a friend?

A good rule of thumb is 3 weeks post-neuter for males. That’s usually eno…[Read more]
DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding journal of Owen and Molly in the forum BONDING 4 years, 2 months ago

Wow, love the data!

If you keep seeing more and more mounting over the next few dates, it could be because the space isn’t neutral enough (especially with letting them walk there on their own, as they know have more of a mental map of where they are in relation to their territories).

Overall it looks like things are going well, but if things…[Read more]
