Activity

I give my buns a bit of fresh pineapple when they are molting. The enzymes in the pineapple helps break down the fur and reduces risk of GI blockage.

I’m so sorry for your loss, it looks like you gave Clara such a fulfilling life.

Long car trips are never fun, glad they all did well with their vaccine and the journey Dana! I haven’t been able to get it for Dorian and Miu yet. Hoping it’s because no local cases.

Sorry about your Nanna Azerane. It’s never easy to watch the slow decline.

On a happier note, spoiled kitties! I sat on the floor as the buns were hogging the…[Read more]

When my bun has stomach issues from molting I find on top of the advice Bam gave plus a stomach massage really helps. Search for Howcast bunny stomach massage on youtube and you should see a good tutorial. I often end up with a pile of poops on my lap and a much happier bun.

I just wanted to share here that all 4 of my bunnies (ages 2, 4, 6, and 13) got their first Medgene vaccine dose yesterday and they did amazingly! I’m so relieved!

They were unhappy in the car (4 hours roundtrip!) but started eating right away when we got home and are all acting normal today. The vet who ran the clinic said she had vaccinated…[Read more]

Many buns get some GI trouble when they molt. It’s important to brush off as much hair as possible and keep an eye so they eat like they should. You can serve their greens freshly rinsed and dripping wet increase their water intake. It’s good to have simethicone baby gasdrops on hand as a first-aid measure if they start showing signs of gas.

Oh okay, I’ll try to restore his trust with treats again. Thank you

So glad the vax trip went well. It’s always a bit nerve wracking having them spend so long in the car.

Ellie, I hope the bonding is going well.

I was able to visit with my sister’s family for the first time in over 2 years yesterday! It was so much fun. They happened to travel interstate right as the pandemic was beginning and they ended up…[Read more]

That’s great! Poor girl must feel so much better!

If this was her first dental, she may not need them that frequently. Around age 5-6 buns bone density shifts a bit and they can need a filing or two to get them back on track, but may not need them as regularly as buns that have dental issues from a young age.

Hmmm, I usually buy bales from a local feed shop and have never had that kind of issue!

If there are feed shops in your area, I’d recommend checking their hay out to see how the quality is because there can be regional variation in suppliers.

Woohoo! Well done bunnies! Long journeys are always so worrying with buns.

My fingers are crossed that they make the vaccine more available in your area soon!

Ellie – good luck with the bonding, hopefully you’ll get there! I am already dreading (but also excited) having to start a whole new bonding process at the end of the month.

Oooh perhaps I can pull the whole root out too then!

That a good point about home grown herbs, I am planning on getting some equipment so I can home grow some things for the buns! My buns have always prefered veg from the farmers market over supermarket veg!

Side note, Nellies appetite is through the roof, her hay eating especially so her teeth…[Read more]

I buy from Small Pet Select and have never had issues with it.

The cheapest you can go is probably a local farm and you can actually see the bales prior to buying. If you have any local rabbit rescues near you, they often sell hay as well and your purchase would be helping their rescue.

If there are increased instances of you shaking it without giving them a treat, it’s possible he has learned that the cue doesn’t always mean treats, therefore he’s not going to get riled up for it, while his sister still is hopeful that the sound is reliably associated with getting a treat.

Every time you present the stimulus without the…[Read more]
