That’s a big patch! Moults can make rabbits look so silly, especially if the old hair has come loose but the new hair hasn’t settled in yet.

She’s gorgeous btw, really loving her elegant face ^_^

Hoppy Easter!

Here’s an Easter picture of Snöa, proudly demonstrating a completely bald molting patch on her forehead:

She must’ve rubbed her head against sth, because it wasn’t there this morning.

That is a lovely tip! She does look very much the Tsarina on this apparently very comfy throne! 🥰

I have had very good luck with using a litter screen like the ones sold in the BB store. Puts an immediate stop to the digging.

Oh that’s wonderful!! I’ll have to try that. Thank you

Hi, I’m sorry that I don’t have anything to add about the issue itself, but it sounds like she might benefit from rabbit massage to keep her more mobile. That’s what I started to do as our bridge bunny Breintje aged.

Rabbit massage uses 2 techniques: long strokes with the flat hand or thumb, and making circular movements with the hand or…[Read more]

In general movement seems pretty good, she still runs around as usual, gets excited for her food and runs circles around me. The flooring is not slippery, and she has lots of rugs around for her as well. No change in diet and she is still eating very well. She is not drinking more than usual, she drinks about a bowl and a half a day. Definitely…[Read more]

Happy Easter to you too ^_^ I’m having a lie-down after being in the kitchen all day. Molly is busy exploring the bedroom, and sometimes she does a super high binky. Then I see a pair of ears fly above the edge of the bed: boink! 😆

Bas has been supplied with a stash of ready-made meals again. He’ll be away for work all week, and while he has…[Read more]

How is her movement in general? Is her area, including that around the litterbox, floored appropriately (i.e., not slippy)?

How is her eating and have you introduced anything new to her diet? Urinating on herself could be a result of producing more urine than usual, so any chance she is seemingly drinking a lot more water? This can stem from…[Read more]

Thanks for your reply! The vet I am going to says they do exotics/ avian/ cats and dogs. The only thing I have really noticed is that she seems to be sitting in the litter box for longer periods of time, and yes hesitation to jump on some higher objects like a chair, which she used to hang out on all the time, and started to do again while she was…[Read more]

Given her age it could be some arthritis developing and preventing her from squatting properly, resulting in her peeing on herself. There are possibly several other explanations such as UTIs but in my personal experience with an older bun that had started to pee on herself, the cause was arthritis. Although arthritis in itself can cause UTIs and…[Read more]

Females can dig a lot when they’re not spayed yet, like they’re making some kind of nest.

Or it may be that she doesn’t like the surface. Do you have anything on top of the pellets? Our bunnies always like a layer of hay: they even eat more from their box than from their hay rack.

True bloat is not at all the same as GI stasis or a gut slowdown. (I’m only mentioning this because when you’re seeking info online or speaking to your vet, it’s important). Here is a description of true bloat, which thankfully is a lot less common than GI slowdown/stasis: http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_diseases/Mechanical_diseases/bloat.htm

Hoppy Easter! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend whether you celebrate or not.

I am having a pretty mellow Easter.  Between work and sick bun I just haven’t had time to do my usual celebrations.  (Which is really just making food and painting eggs, and getting randoly dressed up), but eating chocolate Easter bunnies and watching W…[Read more]
