Activity

They have been extra snuggly. Especially Miu. She’s usually pretty haphazard about returning groomings, but I spotted her a couple times today being a lot more thorough. Dorian definitely doesn’t like going to the vets, but she was just terrified, hense the handful. I think she really appreciated having him to snuggle up against and he didn’t mind…[Read more]

Thanx..yeah I’m seeing my vet on the weekend and I’ll ask about it and see, I’m trying to get it so I can do bunny dating..I found a rescue near me that bunny dates

Okay! I’ll make sure to contact a vet, thanks for the info!

Yay Apollo!

OMG 100 rabbits! Man, everywhere I turn it seems that rescues are overrun. 🙁

I agree with Wick&Fable, definitely something to visit the vet about. It could be an abscess that’s pressing on the eye from the inside.

Yes, please take him to a rabbit-savvy (i.e., rabbit-experienced exotic) vet for assessment. As prey animals, rabbits are ‘programmed’ to hide their discomfort and pain, so while it’s great for his prognosis that he is acting ‘fine’, how a rabbit acts is not a reliable indicator of how they are actually doing health-wise.

Thank you so much for the reply! I was also thinking it’s all hormonal based and I feel like he has good and bad days! I’m guessing from the hormone fluctuation. I also read that some bunnies take up to 6 weeks to a month to get back to normal!

I agree with Dana, a resting bun will produce fewer and smaller poop than an active bun, and a bun’s activity level various over the day. Buns normally rest during daytime and are active late in the evenings and in the mornings.

If she’s producing a normal amount of poop per day you dont need to do anything. If you feel you want to reduce amount…[Read more]

It probably is just swinging hormones, I wouldn’t be too worried about it just yet. I actually read about one rabbit on another forum that took 6 months for her hormonal problems to resolve after she was spayed. While that is an unusual example, for some it can take longer than others. Also assuming your rabbit is young, many young rabbits do go…[Read more]

Bunny poops are really closely linked to how much hay they are eating, so yes they could get smaller after she’s been sleeping for a while. My buns often have smaller poops in the afternoon after they’ve been snoozing all day. 🙂

she molted recently, but that stopped around 2 or 3 weeks ago. yesterday i noticed that after she woke up from her nap she went straight to the litterbox and all of her poop was small, but then just a little while later after she had been up and running around it was all bigger. could her gut be slowing down during the day while she’s sleeping?

Nellie!! <3 Love it!

So cute! And that’s definitely progress!

Is she molting right now? Lots of buns start having some weird poops during molting. Usually smaller ones mixed in means a bit of gastric slowing, so pushing extra hay and hydration should help pass the fur through.
