I def recommend chatting with your vet about it, because recommendations may vary by bunny. Our vet recommended driving, even though it was a long drive (CA to MA) because you have much more control over the situation (imagine a flight getting canceled and being stuck in the airport with the bun). We also had 4 rabbits and a cat, so flying just…[Read more]

That makes sense regarding the setup!

And hmmm about the greens…. Can you offer her a treat to see if she takes it? Or a handful of fresh hay?

I personally would love to live in Portland, Oregon the vibe is up to my standards lol, but I was researching and I feel like a 6 hour flight compared to I guess a week long road trip up there would be the best scenario. Looking at the Wiki link calmed me down a bit, and in the future ill be discussing this with my vet to see what they also…[Read more]

Generally speaking, rabbits who are in the care of loving, thoughtful owners by default are thriving more and will be much more resilient relative to being in the care of someone else. Yes, rabbits are fragile and we say that A LOT online, and also we are online user strangers, so we are always going to use the language and recommendations which…[Read more]

There are some general recommendations here: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Traveling_with_a_rabbit

Unless your rabbits can ride with you in cabin, I would not fly and opt for a car ride. For car rides, long road trips are fine (in fact I believe @DanaNM did quite a long one in the past successfully). My rule of thumb is at least one long break in…[Read more]

Yea that’s an idea thank you 🙂

I’ve never tried a plane trip and honestly would hesitate to unless your bunnies were very tolerant of travel and could be in the cabin with you.  But that’s just me.

On a more reassuring note, I’ve had surprisingly good luck moving my two travel-averse bunnies via long drives!  We had to move from Chicago to DC and made the trip in a U-Haul (…[Read more]

thank you for the reply!

I’ll get a dose for him just to be safe

Update! It’s been a while, so I thought I’d recap as this is actually still ongoing:

Wick had stopped eating for separate reasons in December 2021, which prompted us to go to the vet. While doing an x-ray of his GI, I asked for an x-ray to follow-up on his x-ray from July (not posted here, but it showed no swelling in any toes and the fracture…[Read more]

Thanks, I hope so!

I agree, it’s probably cecotropes getting stuck in his fur. If it isn’t a diet problem, then there is one solution you could try… regular sanitary shaves.

Any chance he’s bad at reaching down to eat cecotropes/clean down there? Some rabbits are just bad at that, partly due to their particular body composition/face shape. That, paired with long fur, can definitely make things a bit complicated.

Perhaps you can put one in the carrier on the dining room table while you’re grooming the other so they stay as close to each other and those experiences as possible?

After examining the environment for potential hazards and if you deem there are none/they have been addressed, I’d just monitor for the future to see if it occurs again. My Fable tends to get her whiskers caught on the xpen nooks and crannies as she loves laying next to them, so it is normal for her to have some curled whiskers on one side.
