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]

Ugh so stressful!

Don’t panic though, she won’t start having the negative effects of alfalfa immediately. Important thing is she’s eating!

That’s a great observation!

For a rabbit to groom another rabbit, they really have to trust them. So it’s partially about dominance, but it’s also about the submitting (grooming) rabbit deciding it’s safe to groom the other bun. It sounds like Tess isn’t quite sure yet, so I think more time is the answer here. Since you are seeing less chasing…[Read more]

I have been in a similar situation, before we got the vaccine here in 2016, then again in 2018 when my Vilde first had to have the myxo- RVHD1-vaccin and the RVHD2-shot had to be given 2 weeks later.

We did all the bio-security measures and it went well, thank goodness. RVHD2 is pretty much endemic here now, as myxo has been for as long as I can…[Read more]

Sometimes when this happens it’s due to an illness in one of the buns. Do you think there could be a subtle health issue going on with one bun?

This all looks so awesome!!! Great progress, keep up the good work!!

We ended up doing a much longer session than was planned today: 3 hours! There was a big storm predicted for the late evening which hit us in mid afternoon. The weather became so extreme that I pulled all the plugs from the electrics and moved the bunnies to the bathroom, so they wouldn’t see the constant lightning flashes. The upside to the awful…[Read more]
