To my knowledge, dandelions aren’t super high in sugar so there isn’t a concern like overfeeding treats… that being said, dandelions flowers aren’t going to provide much of anything (I imagine) into daily diet unless it’s a significant number, and I personally would opt to see if the hunger motivates her to eat something else instead of…[Read more]

I omitted some details in your post as reading about how you attempted to clean Guppy’s fur may be distressing for some users since baths are generally not recommended for rabbits and we’d like the focus of this topic to be supporting you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to read about Guppy’s unexpected passing — you certainly cared…[Read more]

Hi Barn and Dana,

Yes Kotton got her teeth filed down and the vet reviewed her teeth and said that they are fine (no cracks).

Mirataz seemed to have helped her a lot. The first night we gave her (1.5 inch of gel-cream rubbed on her ears where there is no fur), she had a really good night of eating and drinking with lots of poop. The second day…[Read more]

I’m not familiar with Mirataz either. I found a small study on 9 rabbits who were given mirtazepine for 2 days. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S155750632100104X.

9 rabbits are of course very few rabbits and 2 days are just 2 days. It increased fecal output but didn’t seem to significantly increase appetite. It seems to be…[Read more]

Hey

So I have a little health question, she is recovering from her dental – which also caused a bout of stasis before she had the dental – hence the high cost of vet fees lol. The statsis was treated nice and early and she had a little input and out put befoee her anesthetic and dental. Since her dental its been the same, little input and output…[Read more]

Yikes, you can’t even use the bathroom while bonding bunnies!! I walked back into the living room and found the fence open, with Owen and Molly both out. One of the two has learned how to open the door in the fence panel 😯 Luckily there was no fighting like the last time they were together.

We’re in the process of hutch swapping now. Bonding…[Read more]

Okay, I’m convinced: hutch swapping was the best step to take. They accidentally broke loose today and there was no fighting! After I’d fed them I went to the bathroom, and when I came back somebunny had found a way to open the door in the fence 😯

They just switched hutches and started to chew hay, instead of turning into a bunny tornado like…[Read more]

Hello guys,

Thanks for the kind replies 🙂

It’s upsetting that many caregivers do not realize how much work and effort rabbits (and other pets) require. I guess all we can do now is educate others (when possible), learn from our mistakes and help other animals when possible.

She is so cute!  This will be your last gift to her, try to think a little bit positive here.

Timing is always tricky, and yes, you’ll second guess yourself.

IMHO, I’d let her go before she gets really bad.

When the love of life, Kiya, was starting to collapse, following a two plus year illness that we fought thru tooth and nail, I knew I had…[Read more]

Oh goodness! I’m sure she will start feeling much better soon! I wonder if her tooth issues were related to her skittishness? Pain often causes fearful behavior in buns.

Since you just adopted her, I would talk to the rescue, they may be able to help out with the recent vet bills! Some rescues do this!

I completely agree with Bam and Azerane. When I was young I too had rabbits in hutches outside that I now feel horribly about. I even had a pack of stray dogs rip open one of my hutches and kill one of my rabbits. 🙁  There are so many different ideas about rabbit care, and my parents wouldn’t let me keep mine in the house, even after the dog…[Read more]

No I haven’t noticed.. I’m going to search on YouTube what that would look like because I haven’t caught it. She does drink soo much water. Also not really it began about 2 weeks ago id say
