Wish I could upload a couple photos here but it wont let me, not even to add them to my profile then upload them.

Hi, thanks for responding! Yes I’ve been giving her Timothy& orchard grass mixed in but I will get a small bar of alfalfa hay as well and continue to give her the alfalfa pellets. Should I continue this diet until she’s 6 months old?
thanks 🙂

Ohhh, I see, thank you so very much for your quick response!! In that case, until she gets spayed, I will continue to do what I’m doing. Sometimes I put her on the bed for like 10 min and let him come and sniff around her litter box area so he could I guess get familiar with her scent. Thanks again! Great help 🙂

I’ve seen ours react to music as well. Our bridge bunny Breintje even seemed to have favourite songs: slow classic rock like The Eagles and Floyd. He’d stretch out and purr like a little engine during the guitar solos. Hotel California and Comfortably Numb were his favourites.

Our new young bunnies are still too busy bouncing all over the place,…[Read more]

Congratulations! It’s so exciting to add a new member to the family ^_^

@Dana: That’s so cute! It sounds amazing to have a garden like this and see animals in there too ^_^

@Bladesmith: Congrats on the new job! Really hoping that the treatment is going to help you. Chronic pain is such a drain on your energy levels, I know that all too well…

@Dorian: I really hope that the bonding goes well. Bunnies can be so…[Read more]

I think she may have originally had sore hocks in this area when she was much younger.  We thought it was related to her hopping around the whole house (mostly hard flooring).  We have since confined her to areas with rugs and put rug pads under her blankets in her pen for even more cushion.

So this isn’t anything to be immediately concerned a…[Read more]

It looks like there’s some callusing. You should inspect daily, if you see tendencies to open sores she will need treatment. Make sure her nails aren’t too long. Callused hocks are unfortunately common in rexes. Putting ointment on can make the fur sticky and even less protective, if you do, try to use sth that dries quickly and that you can apply…[Read more]

Territorial? I don’t think they would be in litter box and she is already more than a year old. They were stuck together you know? Kind of round but mushy

Yes she does eat hay all day. She is always munching on it. 

Oh so if it’s ISC it can happen here and there?

Round and smelly, yet still being the same general size as normal poops makes me think territorial poops (especially if there appears to be a sheen to them). My Fable has territorial poops very often, likely in reaction to be housed separately with another rabbit, therefore facilitating the urge to leave those more potent smelling poos, though how…[Read more]

When there is perfect poop as well as some sticky poop, its generally known as isc, intermittent soft cecotropes. It means there’s some sort of microbial imbalance in the cecum. It’s not alarming, if it persists, the first thing to do is to try and tweak the diet, as a rule towards more hay and less pellets.

Is she eating a good amount of hay?

So unfortunately, it is too soon to expect to be establishing firm building blocks for bonding. She needs to be spayed first and then one month after then (when hormones settle and she is recovered), you may then begin the bonding process, starting with short introductions in neutral territory:…[Read more]

So sorry for your loss.  You’re an awesome bunny mom and Junior and Honey are lucky to have you.

It could have just been a don’t corner me maneuver, but they both had room. I  noticed it before once, but I was letting them work it out more this time. Maybe I can get it on video. They both just slightly grazed the other bun. I just assumed it was common.  So hard to know when this is my first pair and Dorian my first bun. They could be t…[Read more]

Good news/ bad news.

Apollo hasn’t had another seizure that we’ve seen. His bloodwork came back all clear.

The bad news is that if he does have another seizure we move on to imaging, she said the best imaging for him would be MRI which runs from around $4000. So now I’m really hoping he doesn’t have another seizure. 😬
