Can you provide some clarification on the situation? It’s a bit unclear, unsure due to typos or something.

So you have a 4yo mini lop and you’d like to introduce a younger rabbit?

Properly bonded rabbits should have a large litterbox for them to share, however, it sounds like your situation is you have an adult rabbit (presumably fixed?) and a…[Read more]

Thank you both for your help! I have followed the advice and have taken them to the vet and he said they seem to have mites. He is treating them and I asked him to keep them overnight for observation as well as to give me time to disinfect everything before I bring them back home. Thank you all again!

I think a vet visit is a good idea!  Even if he was neutered RIGHT before you got him, his hormones would have settled after 2 months.

A stuffy is a good idea!

Thanks guys! I ended up contacting my vet, and he offered to see Archie tomorrow (free of charge!!) to make sure that he was right in saying Archie was neutered, and to ensure that all the genitalia was removed and hadn’t receded inwards. So we’ll be going to the vet then, and in the meantime I rubbed my hair on a stuffed animal so it would smell…[Read more]

Thanks Bam! I’ll try the first one and report back!

BTW, Kotton responded really well to Mirataz (appetite stimulant) so we use it on her after she starts pooping again with Reglan to get her to eat more hay and get back on track! No side effect it seems 🙂

Oh! Nope, not at all! Sorry I read that wrong!

Glad to know everyone is happy that Pugsley is ok and nothing was seriously wrong.

The vet told me to do this. They did not say anything was wrong with it. Like I said originally, I used natural pineapple juice from a real pineapple, not a fruit juice from the store as advised by the vet.

Wow!

I’d choose the first one because it has yeast (saccharomyces). That’s a probiotic that’s been shown to be beneficial for rabbits. It survives the very acidic environment in the stomach. Saccaromyces yeast is present in the healthy bunny gut and it’s the probiotic Protexin uses in their rabbit products (Profibre Rabbit pellets, Fibreplex…[Read more]

I was already planning on getting him neutered!:) I just wanted to know if it would cause any issues during bonding since he’s getting neutered later in life!

That all sounds really good! They are communicating!

The one thing I’ll add is always try to end the session on a good note. So it’s good not to push things too far, but if they start to get feisty, try to calm them down before ending the date so they don’t learn that fighting makes “that other rabbit” go away. You can do this with petting them…[Read more]

I will take as many pics of Oliver as I can get! <3

He will need to be neutered before bonding, even though he isn’t acting super hormonal now. Unneutered buns will mount relentlessly and it prevents a stable bond from forming, even when they other bun is spayed/neutered. Plus you will likely see a HUGE increase in marking and spraying etc.

The…[Read more]

I am so sorry to hear about your dear Sarafina. I recently found two small lumps on my bun and am concerned. Will you please share updates on your journey through this? How did you find the growths? what did they feel like? How much did it cost to get them removed? Let me know if CBD oil works. I really, really hope the cancer did not spread for…[Read more]

I agree with LBJ10, you should get a diagnosis and proper dosage from the vet, especially with their age. These solution vary in concentration and tube size, so the first time it’s best to have a vet give you the dosage. Advantage II does not treat mites, you may get prescribed Revolution.

Also just in case you aren’t aware, never use any product…[Read more]

Thank you everyone for your advice! I lowered the amount of veggies he gets and there is a HUGE difference!
