Someone get a mop, I’m melting! 😯 😆 This is just too adorable…

I miss my little snugglebuns so much, he was practically glued to me for the last 4 years. Our be young bunnies are lovely, but they’re too busy bouncing off the walls to cuddle yet.

Oh wow 600 $$$ 😖

I had a dental bun before, and no bun insurance here covers dental procedures, so it did become very expensive. He was an older bun already when I got him though. Do you have any idea how old Nellie might be? (I think it’s a clever idea to keep her ladyship’s title somewhat secret, it’ll help keep the paparazzi at bay 😉).

Sugar content in grass varies a lot over the growth period. It’s highest in spring grass and horses can be really sensitive to spring grass -they can get laminitis from eating too much of it. (Laminitis fortunately isn’t a thing rabbits can get, since rabbits don’t have hooves). It’s still sensible to serve any new food in gradually increasing…[Read more]

Thanks for the info! I’m sure the sugar content of grass is low, even for a high sugar grass but you really have to be careful with special needs buns!

That’s heartbreaking, I’m so sorry for your loss. Rabbits are such loving animals and it’s horrible when they go 😥

The way you describe it she wasn’t feeling ill: rabbits often withdraw if they feel ill. It all points to something that was unexpected and quick. I hope that you can find some solace in that.

How is her partner doing by the way?

Orchard grass is good, you can start with smaller amounts if you want to. Normally you dont have to transition hays, but with a dysbiosis bun it could be wise -just to be extra careful.

Orchard grass wears the teeth. It’s not about how crunchy a hay is, its about how “abrasive” the grass leaves are. Grass leaves have microscopic deposits of…[Read more]

Oh, what a beautiful girl! I hope that Lady Penelope will feel at home with you soon ^_^

Sugar content, not sugar coated content 🙂

So we decided Penelope on paper and Nellie for short and @Bam I love the idea of giving her a title – so cute, my partner not so much though, so not on paper but just for me shes officially called Duchess Penelope “surname” lol.

Well the little Duchess is currently recovering from a dental at the vets and had cost an expected £600 already in…[Read more]

Yes, the boxes had seen a little use already. I cleaned them in the afternoon and switched the bunnies late in the evening.

Owen dug in Molly’s box as if he was trying to go to China, and Molly was so uncomfortable using his box that she did most of her business in the other areas of the hutch. I saw her use his box for the first time this…[Read more]

Hi Courtney and welcome to the BB forums!

It could be that your bun’s arthritis is causing him pain so that he’s become very tender to the touch. Like if a person has generalized pain, pretty much any touch however light might cause pain, because all the pain receptors in the skin are “on edge” and ready to fire. If he’s not already on an anti…[Read more]

It could be a UTI. Do you ever see her strain to pee? Has this been going on for as long as you’ve had her?

You were a child. You’re still very young. You have quite evidently learnt a lot and you seem very mature in your thinking.

Many of us have had rabbits when we were children, and many of us have regrets over how those rabbits weren’t given optimum care. This is a story that so many rabbit loving people have in common.

Thank you for telling us…[Read more]

Is always very challenging being a child trying to do or beat for an animal but being too early on parents who may have conflicting opinions on care and what is important. I think you are definitely being too hard on yourself, I understand being upset about it but everything I’m reading shows you are a compassionate and caring owner always trying…[Read more]

That is super normal behavior! And a sign that switching hutches should help! 🙂  It should help with Molly’s anxiety to be able to really get used to Owen’s scent. I know they have been around each other, but being able to smell the litter box up close is…. different. LOL  On that note, I also usually try to time the swap so the litter boxes a…[Read more]
