Yep, too late at this point. The need to be trimmed… then work on healthy hay consumption. Regular hay eating can actually help fix some alignment problems, but the teeth have to be “set” to do that, meaning they can’t be overgrown like that. He won’t be able to chew properly to wear them down.

Good idea! LOL

Synthetic fertilizers won’t hurt anything as long as they aren’t on the plants when you serve them. Just be careful with what you’re buying. Sometimes fertilizers will come combined with other things like herbicides or pre-emergents, so make sure to read the label.

Our vet mentioned critical care as well but she’s very picky with it… She would have to be syringe fed which stresses her out. I haven’t seen the cookies anywhere but I’ll have a look. Things like critical care in general are very hard to find here. We get our packs from the vet and they only have Oxbow Critical Care in one flavor.

Yes, she was…[Read more]

Hmmm… I never even considered fostering buns.  That’s a great idea!

Apparently there’s a rabbit fostering home not far from where I live too

He isn’t eating hay because his teeth are preventing him from eating properly. When the front teeth are overgrown like that it’s called “malocclusion” and is due to a misalignment in the teeth. There could also be some misalignment with his molars, so you should have a rabbit savvy vet do a full dental exam.

At this point you should get them…[Read more]

Critical care is often used to help senior buns gain weight, I wonder if you could supplement her with some Critical care, or critical care cookies?

There are also recovery foods made by other brands, you might try a few to see which one agrees with her the best.

Often buns will be sensitive to a certain ingredient in pellets, so trying…[Read more]

I think they sell those pellets at a nearby pet store. We’ll give them a try and see how she does. She can’t have alfalfa hay because it makes her gassy but we’ll try oats if the pellets don’t work out. Thank you!

I’m sorry you are going through this.

Herbs and leafy greens are very low in calories, so they wouldn’t help her gain weight. They could still be nice for her as enrichment.

When I had a poopy-butt prone bun I used a brand of pellets for sensitive rabbits, cuni complete sensitive. It’s available in Europe and Canada, I dont know about the…[Read more]

Yep! I see all the emoji!

I agree with Bam, they should be fine! And yes seeds won’t need any additional nutrients until they are ready to transplant. Plus, your bunnies are the best compost makers in all the land! Rabbit manure is really great for plants and is sought after by many gardeners! I often just chuck a handful of bunny poops in my potted plants. 🙂

In many…[Read more]

I dont use pesticides, but I do use fertilizer, not all organic. I mostly use “natural” fertilizers aka manure, but it can’t be labled organic unless the animals that produce the manure (cows, horses and chickens in my case) live totally organic lives. I use some semi-organic fertilizer too.

I don’t think it matters as long as there isn’t actual…[Read more]
