Is the poop still stuck or is it just staining? If it’s just staining I would leave it. Rabbit poop should not get stuck to their fur, but if they are getting poop stuck and pee stains all the time it can be an indication of several things: poor diet, diet litter tray or unsuiitable litter, health problem.

If the poop is no longer stuck, the…[Read more]

RHDV is my first thought too. It can stay present in the environment for a very long time and there are commonly no symptoms or very limited symptoms for a very short time before death. Beyond that some sort of environmental toxin is a very likely candidate. Ideally one of their livers should have been sent away for testing for RHDV, but I imagine…[Read more]

Congratulations!!

I have been loosely following this tread, you’ve done a great job. Wishing you lots of happily bonded years ahead!

I to would not rule out RVHD, especially since your vet suspected sth wrong with the liver. In the early days, when little was known about the RVHD virus, the disease was called “rabbit hepatitis”, because on autopsies of dead wild rabbit, they found abnormal changes to the liver. In any case, it’d be wise to vaccinate any new rabbits.

Often the rabbits die and are either inside a “burrow” (cottontails don’t actually burrow) or an scavenger finds them and eats them right away.

As for the boy, a little dampness under the nose is normal. It’s condensation from their…[Read more]

Territorial poops are super normal in a newly bonded pair! It’s like they are staking their turf as a couple. Nothing to worry about 😉

With my pairs sometimes it only lasts a day, other times it gradually improves over a couple weeks.

Wonderful news, thank you for the update! Fingers crossed for her continued recovery!

Hope she keeps improving!

Still not able to upload photos, though I can change my profile pic. Any update? Obviously not super critical, and probably sparing everyone a bunch of adorable Dorian and Miu spam 😀
