Great, thank you so much! That’s exactly what I was thinking regarding the timeline for a blockage to present. He’s running around and eating like crazy, so hopefully whatever it was has passed and he will be ok!

Yes, 12+ hours is great! A blockage would present sooner. If a bun is eating a ton of hay, I’d not worry too much. It’s similar to giving a dog asparagus when it’s eaten sth it shouldn’t have. The long fibers will wrap around the non-food item and bring it through safely. (Dogs do swallow stuff like socks whole, rabbits dont, thank goodness!) If…[Read more]

A girl rabbit can need more than 10 days to return to her normal self. After 14 days, the internal surgical wound should have healed up, meaning its safe to handle her. The hormonal turmoil brought about by the spay can (and as a rule will) need more time though. Your bun’s brain and body is still adjusting to the cessation in production of female…[Read more]

Thank you. I did “dissect” it and it definitely looked and felt like a plastic string, but I could be wrong. He’s eating tons of hay today and had lots of normal poop overnight, so I assume he’s probably going to be fine?

I would continue to monitor. Rabbits tend to chew whatever they ingest meticulously. The’re not capable of swallowing chunks of things. The best thing for getting stuff through the GI tract is hay. You could give some simethicone baby gas drops – it is traditionally used for gas, but since it stays in the GI canal until it gets pooped out, it also…[Read more]

I’m so sorry to read of your loss — how wonderful that Freedom lived a life accompanied by such a loving, caring owner. It is never a pleasant decision to make; however, Freedom is binkying free on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Binky free Freedom.

This is called Hypospadias. A genetic condition in which the penis fails to form properly making him unsuitable for breeding as it can be passed on but he likely isn’t capable of breeding due to the short length in comparison to a fully formed penis. He may also be sterile and have 1 or both testicles fail to drop properly. He can live a very…[Read more]

Okay, I might try expanding today. Is there a certain size that may be too big? I have an X-pen that is 8 grids long 24in each or should I try to mimic the space they would be sharing as close as possible? I do have additional c&c grids I can also use to expand.

should I add items or leave it pretty basic. Like previously mentioned, I did add…[Read more]
