Activity

That’s wonderful! And glad you were able to find the source of the trouble!!

The next step would be to increase the length of the sessions, so you could try 2 hours, and then start bumping up to 4, 6, etc. if 2 hours goes well.

Sometimes they really don’t get things sorted out dominance-wise until they realize, “oh, this other rabbit really isn’t going away!”.

Great idea! But I tried him with banana this morning (without medicine), first time he’s ever been given banana. He wouldn’t even try it (Luna at both his pieces). Typical, lol. I’ll keep trying.

Yes as I said I’m keeping her quarantined away from Jinx for health reasons but yes also cause they are not yet bonded..I will try to bond them later but only after I’m sure Judy’s healthy and she’s spayed.

I’m so happy that vaccines are becoming available across the pond as well! It worried me for a long time: it’s a dreadful disease and so contagious 🙁

Our bunnies get the 3 vaccine combo Nobivac Myxo-RHD plus, which is a once a year vaccine now. Before that they got Nobivac Myxo-RHD once a year and since 2017 Eravac against RHD2 twice a…[Read more]

Just asking yourself that question already says: no, you’re not bad owners.

Having to keep them outside in such hot weather is less than ideal indeed. I’d try to find a place where they can be boarded for the time that you need to move to your new home.

If there aren’t friends or family who can house them indoors, professional boarders may help…[Read more]

Yay! Oh boy, that’s great news!

Update on Tater! He had a single molar spur that was stabbing him in the tongue. It was removed. Almost as soon as he came out of anesthesia he started eating on his own. Today I got the news that he can come home tomorrow! He’s eating, drinking, pooping, and doing binkies! I’m so relieved.

Dear Owen, could you please stop trying to get yourself into trouble? I admire your creativity and curiosity to find new ways, but you’re driving me up the wall… 🙄

Long story short: Owen probably ate 1,5 cm of a tie-wrap yesterday. He seems to be totally fine, my nerves are anything but. Young bunnies….

Owen is very much a free bunny:…[Read more]

Oh wow, I thought the EU already had these rules! I’m signing this. Thank you, Ellie!

Yes, discuss it with your vet and see what you can do. She didn’t shave it herself either, but a pet trimmer did it for her. The vet often knows a good pet trimmer too.

Did you try the banana trick yet? That got some of the most stubborn bunnies to take their meds. Banana or apple sauce.

Take a very ripe banana, cut it into slices and freeze it on a plate so they don’t stick together. After defrosting it becomes a sort of jelly which is easy to mix with meds.

I haven’t been able to figure out how to really shave her safely, only trim. The tail fur had hardened together so firmly that even trimming was not doable. The cream I have doesn’t have zinc oxide so I don’t know anything about that yet. I will do some checking.

“What reason(s) are you thinking that trimming the affected fur is a mistake?”

Because I feel like maybe it has given more exposure to the skin for getting urine scald.

Thanks for the links, I will check them out.

Oh that’s an awful situation, but it’s great to see that you’re so dedicated to giving her all the best 🙂

A friend of mine had this problem too with her senior rabbit. She was a long-haired rabbit who had aggression issues and was very difficult to groom. They discussed it with the vet and ended up shaving her problem areas.

The skin was then…[Read more]

Thank you!

Pictures! ^_^

It’s so sweet of you to take her in, and I  hope she’s healthy! Hope that the bond between them works as well.

Yes, it’s crazy that there’s this Easter tradition of giving rabbits. It’s seems to be mostly in the Anglo-Saxon countries though. I’ve been campaigning for “Make Mine Chocolate” on social media, and most continental…[Read more]

Thanks for drawing attention to this issue, Ellie. Unless the discussion around this progresses into anything that may breach our forum guidelines (e.g., witch-hunts, debating…), it can stay open.
