Sorry to contradict LBJ10 but collards and kale are relatively high in calcium. Bok choy is a bit lower though.

Here’s an older article that lists calcium content in various veggies (kale and collards are listed as “good” sources of calcium in this case, as the focus was on providing…[Read more]

Hi, how is Fuji doing? I’ve just been through a heart disease diagnosis/attempt at treatment and I would love to hear how it went/is going for your bun.

Hi, I’m so, so sorry you’re experiencing this and I hope Buffy is hanging in there. I finally joined this forum specifically to respond to your post, because I’ve been looking for this kind of information over the past couple months. I hope any of this is helpful or relevant to you or anyone else.

My bunny (age ~6.5-7, estimated because also a…[Read more]

I wish we had winters like that. LOL  Let’s see 10-15C is about 50-60F. Yeah, that would be pretty nice! We do get some “warmer” winter days where it will be in the 50s, but those are just sprinkled here and there. We will also have stretches with extremely cold temperatures. It will be single digits or even below 0F. It sucks because it will be…[Read more]

@BunnyLass: yay, sounds like progress 🙂 It’s such a great feeling when they become more comfortable around you, even if it’s with baby steps

@Dana: Happy that everybunny had it now!

@Azerane: ah, yes, I can imagine that it feels cold when you’re used to warmer weather. Sounds like Australia would work wonders for my rheumatic illness.

When I…[Read more]

Ah… OK, maybe speedwell then?

@LBJ10 I don’t think it’s that, it’s closer to Myosotis Arvensis but not as fuzzy on the stems. Today it got over 100°F for us.

Yes, you can have a healthy bunny on a hay and pellet diet. You can help add some interest with hay toppers like dried herbs.

You could try collard greens, romaine, bok choy, kale, and cilantro. These are all low in calcium and oxalic acid, but some may be high in vitamin A.

Alfalfa should also be avoided on a low calcium diet. Grass hay, in general, does not contain a lot of calcium.

Bunnies tend to poop less during their inactive times. Most bunnies tend to nap and lounge around during the day, so they may not poop much. Then they become more active in the evening and poop production increases.

I’m sorry. They are very fragile. He/she could have been suffering from shock.

Thank you for the advice!

How would I fix the problem of there being an odd one out? Tess certainly is. She has always been extremely flighty in general, even more so since I introduced her to Penelope. Now that chasing has subsided, she’s very slowly improving, but I need to put emphasis on “slowly.” She still runs away when Penelope and Gideon…[Read more]

Oh you made me feel at ease right now. I was just so worried I’m not giving my bun enough. I just don’t want to cause another problems with tummy. I read articles about how it is necessary to give them fresh greens but i literally cannot.

So i can have a healthy bun just with hay and pellets?

Thanks for the update!

Some bunnies do weirdly do better in less neutral territory, so this isn’t completely unheard of! The fact that you are seeing improvement is great, so I would stick with what you’re doing. The only real rule in bonding is to stick with that’s working, and ditch what isn’t. Overnights in general can be a source of…[Read more]

I think it’s time for another update!

I ended up bringing them to the kitchen as neutral territory — with the layout of my house, they needed to be brought in carriers, but with that and a drop-cloth for traction it became a good bonding zone — or so I thought! Penelope was even more aggressive in the kitchen even though she’d never been there…[Read more]

I agree with others :).

It’s worth mentioning that unspay female rabbits are highly prone to reproductive cancers, somewhere around the mark of 70% chance of cancer by age 34. When spayed this risk is eliminated.
