Hoppy birthday dear Teddy!!! <3

Some buns really like to pee on soft things, so beds don’t really work for them. Is it restricted to the beds, or is he having accidents elsewhere? Peeing in new places can also indicate a UTI or other bladder issue.

I just wanted to echo what Wick brought up, that it may be very challenging to have a stable bond with one rabbit unspayed. The mounting you are seeing is hormone driven, not for “no reason”. Mounting is a normal part of the bonding process as well, but when both rabbits are spayed/neutered, you will see it calm down during the bonding process.…[Read more]

Happy Birthday Teddy! What a sweetie 💕

In terms of unvaccinated indoor rabbits (which mine essentially are because the Australian vaccine doesn’t cover RHDV2), the biggest risk factors are flies/mosquitoes and your shoes/pants. If you live urban and don’t go walking in parks/nature areas there’s probably not a great deal of risk from shoes. I do walk in parks a lot that have wild…[Read more]

Have the hoppiest of hoppy birthdays, sweet Teddy!!! 🎂🥕🍌🥬🍎🍇

Hey!

Sorry your bunny is unwell.

I would just firstly make sure your rabbit it super rabbit savvy and very rabbit experienced before accepting a diagnosis and medication from them. Its good they are doing bloods and urine first. I have had experience with vets that aren’t that rabbit experienced and it often ends in misdiagnosis or suggestions…[Read more]

Thank you so much, BZOO!! 🙂  And that’s awesome about NudgeBunny!! 🙂

Hugs to you and yours. Many more years, please.

I got my NudgeBunny to 12, despite the junk food I fed (didn’t know how bad it was).  And he was mill bred!

Beautiful buns!

Pheobe, Pug, is nicknamed Crack Muppet, for good reason…. maybe they are related?

Teddy turns 13 today — we’re so excited! 🙂 I put a post on the Lounge.

Just to update here, Teddy’s continued to hop around a little with a limp, as I described last time.  Two days ago he got up on his own (!), then yesterday he needed help, and then today he got up on his own again!  He’s been mostly sitting up on his own, and when he does t…[Read more]

So cute!!  I love them!

okay, thank you!

Thank you ^_^ I’m so happy to see them like this! They’re such fierce characters and can be very wild. Who thought that they could snuggle up like this?

Owen gave me a deep bleeding scratch down my neck when I picked him up to bring him to the bathroom. He was very angry about being picked up. Some minutes later he was all lovey-dovey with his…[Read more]

Btw, I dont think regular treatment with Revolution will do much good. Revolution works by poisoning biting insects when they suck the blood of their hosts. But with RVHD (and some, but not all) vector-born diseases, its important to deter the insects from coming that close to the rabbit in the first place. There are insect-repellants (mainly…[Read more]

Oh my, that’s awful! I’m happy that you have such a great vet, that must have been so scary!

We’re new to bonding as well and are currently in the process of bonding a brother and sister that have had a fight before. They seemed to get along so well through the bars, but when we organised dates for them fur flew and they were batting at each…[Read more]

Yes, I wouldn’t use these either around bunnies. Rabbits have very sensitive airways, especially dwarfs. Certain essential oils also have a high risk of allergy.

Besides allergies and irritation, scented products can easily overwhelm a rabbit’s sensitive nose. They’re not as good sniffers as dogs, but fairly sensitive. What’s a pleasantly scented…[Read more]

Aside from getting them vaccinated ASAP and the things you’re already doing, I would also be sure to prevent insects from coming inside and stop giving them time on the porch. Insects are a big source of transmission. They aren’t true vectors in that they aren’t a host for the virus, but if a fly lands on an infected rabbit or feeds on an infected…[Read more]
