I’m very sorry to hear you and your rabbit are going through this. Sanitary shaves (i.e., clipping fur) is something that some rabbit owners do need to do in order to keep things clean and more…[Read more]

Thanks for introducing her, and thank you for taking in this rabbit — indeed, many rabbits suffer around this time of year once the family learns how much work pet rabbits may be. Please feel free to link any pictures of Judy :).

As a reminder, you will want to keep Judy and Jinx separated not only for health-quarantine reasons, but also since…[Read more]

There’s little research about wire flooring for pet rabbits, it’s mostly about industrial scale rabbitries.

The results of these studies are often mixed. Yes, wire floors are better for hygiene. But yes, they also cause sore hocks.

Our beloved house rabbits get their hutch cleaned often enough, so the “hygiene benefit” of wire flooring is…[Read more]

That part about attention is a good one: I think that our young boy’s antics are to do with that as well. He is a big attention lover, and hates it that he’s temporarily confined to an exercise pen. I hope that it’ll improve after rebonding him with his sister.

Would finding him a girlfriend curb his destructive tendencies?

We have a brother and…[Read more]

If common sense or empathy for animal welfare doesn’t work, slap them with science!

Oh crud, it won’t let me edit, because it all needs to go past a moderator if you post one link. Well, I’ll make separate posts then…

About impact of hay on GI health:

Tip: if you want to find a scientific article and need a short answer to a question, search for: abstract [keyword] [keyword].

An abstract is the start of any scientific publication to give people a quick overview of what the study was about and what results they found. Abstracts are usually free as well, which is a bonus!

About trancing…[Read more]

I’m editing this as I write, because the page keeps reloading and I lost what I typed.

Maybe you should present them with the actual research by experts, science has no opinions, it just has facts.

Between all the worries and bad news, it’s great to hear that Spud is helping him out so much.:kiss: It’s great that they can be together again!

Hoping for mountains of poop and a speedy recovery!

Still bonding and it feels like I’m in a rut. We typically bond for at minimum 30 minutes and there are times when we’re able to supervise for an hour. After about an hour, Rascal seems ready to end so we usually let him go rest. We’ve also had to take some nights off because of my work schedule or when Smudge decided to impale himself with a…[Read more]

So while Apollo has been taking his medication on leafy greens, he did leave a little last night that he wouldn’t finish due to it tasting funny and this morning he took a lot of convincing to eat them so I decided that tonight we would syringe them to him again rather than risk losing a full dose of the meds onto leaves that he wouldn’t eat. I…[Read more]

I too would go to another vet. I had an older bun that had a respiratory infection and got Bactrim for it. My vet is very rabbit savvy, and made it quite clear that if the Bactrim didnt help, Baytril would be the next step. Luckily my bun recovered after 2 weeks on Bactrim.

My bun also got meloxicam (an NSAID, i e an anti- inflammatory…[Read more]

“Don’t Shoot the Dog” is a great book! My roommate a decade ago was a dolphin trainer and had a copy!

Red romaine is totally safe 🙂  The only lettuce to avoid is iceberg, all of the others are fine.

That’s very odd, baytril is really commonly given to rabbits!

I agree that a second opinion is a good idea!
