I’ve fed both oxbow essentials and sherwood timothy. My buns did well on both, but I currently feed the sherwood and everyone seems to be doing great.

Thanks for the advice!

We also use science selective because our vet recommends. Our previous brand is Oxbow. Both seems pretty ok. The key is to not to give too much or they eat less hay and get more stomach problems.

Hey Oliverthebunny! Thanks for replying and your advice 🙂

Just to update – I have been following all the advice and suggestions given by you all for a couple weeks now and Nellies poops are beautiful now! Perfect color, normal shape, nice and big and I have no concerns about megacolon symptom now. The wider variety of things really sparked her…[Read more]

Just to back up what others have said I’ve had my boy on a table spoon of pellets a day (8 single pellets in the morning and a pinch of a pellet forage in the evening) for years now and hes been very healthy! I am a fan of the low pellet diet 🙂 I use science selective but its possible this is a mainly uk based brand. I have read from users on…[Read more]

Hey! I recently started using HayBox, its a great little brand and the box is huge and lasts ages!

Mine are on the meadow hay and I will soon be purchasing the timothy blend once the previous brand I use has ran out.

Now I am really not entirely sure but from what I have noticed and assumed it seems like the soft cut and corse cut are the…[Read more]

If the dewormer doesn’t help it could be as LBJ suggested, arthritis.

I previously had a bun approaching 5 who developed arthritis fairly suddenly and it presented in a persistant hing leg limp and hesitancy to move too much and jump. Daily pain meds help her a lot to move more often and even frolic but her limp never really went away.

As Azerane say, e cuniculi does come to mind when hind end weakness is discussed. EC is an intracellular parasite that buns often get from their mum while they’re still in the womb. It often lies dormant for many years, sometimes the entire life.

It’s treatable with a dewormer, fenbendazole. Its sold under various brand names, the most common one…[Read more]

We’re happy that you’re posting twice in one day, so no need to be sorry, be proud instead.

Hay that’s suitable for horses is as a rule suitable for buns, unless it has a high percentage of alfalfa. Alfalfa is a legume and as such it has too much protein and calcium to suit adult healthy buns.

I give my buns horse hay from a person I know who…[Read more]

Poor bun, they can really mourn their lost partner. My condolences to you as well, it’s awful to lose a rabbit 😥

Dana gave some excellent tips and I have little to add on the bonding part because I’m new to the experience.

I do have some tips on dealing with a depressed rabbit: use all their senses to cheer them up and reduce stress. Diminish…[Read more]

I use pine pellets too! I have used them for years. Cheap, absorbs odors and can be composted.

Yes, pine pellets from TSC are the cheapest litter you can get. I use them!

Omg, feisty girl!! Maybe Owen is exhausted emotionally and physically from all these new impressions? Learning new things grows the hippocampal part of the brain, and that consumes lots of energy.

May has been lovely here too. Everything is so amazingly green!
