Ok, thank you so much! I’ve been giving them unlimited Timothy and alfalfa hay and young rabbit pellets.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁 I know you had to make a tough decision, and I’m sure it was the right one, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

And what a beautiful tribute. <3

I would give the bathtub a shot! Sometimes it seems like neutral spots become less neutal when bonding takes a few weeks, so it’s good to change up locations, as long as they are all similarly neutral.

Another thing to experiment with is the size of the space. I’ve had the best luck with really large spaces, so if the bath tub doesn’t go well,…[Read more]

I have not. I was thinking of trying a date in a bathtub today just to make it a little more stressful.

The dates are currently in a baby playpen I purchased that’s sitting in a bedroom they’ve never been in.

Do you think it’s worth trying the bathtub or sticking with what I’m currently doing?

That sounds like you have made some progress, but very slowly.

Have you tried any stressing techniques? A 10 min car ride each day for a few days in a row can be very helpful in these types of bonds.

Made it home!

All 4 buns did great and started eating right away after we got home. Such troopers!

I’m so relieved! Not looking forward to having to do that drive again in 3 weeks, but hopefully by the time they need their booster it will be more readily available!

Absence of poop is always a concern. My advice is give him 0.5 -1 ml (cc) simethivone baby gas drops every hour for 3 hours. If he’s still not eating or pooping after 3 doses, I’d contact a vet.

A vet can give sub q or iv fluids and determine if there is a GI blockage. If there isn’t a GI blockage, they can give gut motility drugs like Reglan or…[Read more]

There should be multiple options, yes.

They can go by different names, but bactrim and baytril are oral antibiotics. See here for rabbit-safe antibiotics: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Common_drug_dosages_for_rabbits

Please make sure you are seeing a rabbit-experiencer exotic veterinarian as well.

Injectable penicillin is also a possible tx…[Read more]

I am sorry for your pain. I’m sorry that our furry companions can’t stay longer. It was Clara’s time, she made it to 12 because she had the best life with the best bun parent.

But no words can take away that pain.

Binky free, sweet Clara May.

That’s one way to find names and I love the other names you put down!

Montana could be a great name!

Great names!

I’ve enquired about the culture and been quoted just over £600 for the whole thing which is a lot of money. I’ve asked if it would be possible to try baytril as an antibiotic rather than Sumatrim and hopefully they say yes to this so that we can try an alternative medication before paying that much money if it can be avoided . Thanks for your advi…[Read more]

Hi I did contact them to try alternative antibiotics but they told me there wasn’t any other options than the one that was prescribed? Should there be multiple options?

If you have been following the antibiotic regimen since Friday and it is now Wednesday (i.e. 6 days) and there have been no improvements, I’d contact the vet to discuss trying a different antibiotic. URIs can be caused by several bacteria, so it’s common that the first (or even second) antibiotic tried isn’t the right one to attack the specific…[Read more]

Hey!

So it’s been a month since and I’m looking for some feedback.

<hr />

They’re in pens side by side.

The rabbits themselves get swapped between pens every night.

We’ve been doing the bunny magic/smooshing method for about 15 minutes every night for the past 4 weeks.

1 week ago we added a second mid day bunny date where they just eat…[Read more]
