Thanks, have most things on the list other than the prescription needed ones and stethoscope.

I have read in the case of bloat, you don’t want to give liquids as this will just exacerbatetheproblem… would this also include critical care? (I do have some on hand, but have yet to use it).

I should probably write up a list of questions for my vet as well.

Hoppy Easter!!

We had a lovely picnic lunch with my mum and her partner.

Now I’m on the couch indulging in my own Easter Tradition, eating a chocolate bunny while watching Watership Down 😁 Not to everyone’s taste I know but I watched it at Easter as a kid once and it’s just stuck, so now I watch it once a year 🙂

Are you able to order from somewhere like Amazon?

Yes, definitely easier to move first. Less stressful for you and your future bunnies. Finding time when working long hours can be difficult. It helps if the bunnies are kept in an area where you naturally spend time. That way you can read or watch TV or whatever and interact with them at the same time.

Here is a list of first aid items to keep on hand: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/First_aid_kit_for_rabbits

Gut motility and pain medications are on the list, as well as Critical Care.

I already made this as a topic but decided to add it here too if it’s ok. Hoppy Easter to those whom celebrate! To those who don’t, I hope you have an amazing Sunday!

Oh gods, that’s awful! That tradition needs to be stopped ASAP.

I stumbled onto some awful info from the Make Mine Chocolate campaign: 95% of all Easter bunny gifts don’t make it to their 1st birthday! 😥

Is it some kind of event that’s giving out rabbits? Spreading awareness through social media can help to put a stop to these practices.

It is very unusual looking, but I agree it probably isn’t the cause of the current problem. Since she is much better after the molar trim, I would say that is probably the cause. As to what these deposits are, I don’t know. The only thing I can think of is some kind of mineral deficiency or damage to the enamel.

There are motility drugs such as cisapride, though in my personal (and non-medical) view, it’s more important to keep some supplies of critical care and feeding syringes in such cases to keep the digestive system going.

Sorry, I have nothing to add to this topic than a huge SQUEE! Oh my, they are gorgeous!

So err, about the other 5? Any chance…? Nah, our little fluffs would never forgive us 😆

I am glad I’m not the only one who goes a little crazy with Easter stuff! I got cute carrot placemats for the buns and small container. Thinking of going back after Easter and see what’s on sale! Had a rough night with Miu, she’s molting and think she had bloat. Luckily 3rd dose of simethecone and belly massage got things moving around 3am. I was…[Read more]

What a dreadful experience, this is heartbreaking. It’s clear that you loved her so much. I’m very sorry for your loss 😥

I’m afraid that other bunnies may be at risk though: bunnies are fully dependent on breastfeeding by their mum until their 6th week and can’t leave the nest until their 8th week. Where did you get Guppy from? Did she come…[Read more]

It’s hard to tell…

An update on Puff – 4 days after her dental trim, she seems to be a lot better! The vet trimmed her molar spurs a bit, and noted that there was a bit of ulcer on her tongue due to the spurs. Hopefully that was just the cause…

Will definitely keep a close eye on her in the coming days/weeks. Thanks for the help!

What a beautiful send-off for her! I’m really impressed by her age and all the love and care you gave her. It’s so special to have a senior rabbit: you suddenly bond a lot more in those last years, and it makes the passing even more painful.

I unexpectedly lost my little buddy Breintje in October, at 9 years and 2 months. As he aged we spent so…[Read more]

@Bam: Wow, those look amazing! Those rich colours are really appetising, it would make a great decoration for an autumn or Christmas dish too!

@Glenn: Cute! ^_^ Yes, we couldn’t help ourselves either, so we bought cute rabbit-themed things too!

There’s this pot which is going to be the new treat jar:

And there’s a breakfast set that’s…[Read more]
