@HoneybunAndElliott – Peachy is fine, so is Coco – the little one introduced in June, they don’t quite get along yet – there really isn’t anything I could be doing in terms of bio safety that I’m not already doing short of going coo-coo bananas with Lysol like some people you’ve probably seen…..Which would do more harm than good. Your experience…[Read more]

Bunnies are ok with hay only diet, in fact this should be 80% of their diet. For few days hay only diet should be fine. Just make sure your bunny is eating plenty of hay and pooping well. I think you caught your bunny on early GI stasis and it recovered.

I am curious to see what another vet says, if it’s possible to get a second opinion. It doesn’t really make sense to me that they wouldn’t be able to remove ovaries only because they’re “underdeveloped” – it sounds like she might not have developed fully as a baby, but that doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be able to be spayed. Organs are organs. And I…[Read more]

Last night I was awakened by a tremendous clatter from downstairs, and, being unused to the noise, I didn’t recognize it.  I booked it downstairs, and found Loki with the honey pot container in his mouth, shaking it and rattling the plastic shapes inside, and having a ball doing so.  So I’d call this a win.

You may see extra cecals for the next couple of days, but other than keeping him off treats for a little while so he takes in hay and water, he should be fine. It is amazing what rabbits can eat and be okay.

Aww that sounds so similar to what I went through. I’m glad they relaxed upstairs, I saw the same thing with mine. I’m guessing having them out of the picture might help the boys bond more easily too.

I agree with LBJ10.

Also if you notice that the sound occurs when the male and female interact and she is trying to get away from the male or if the female knows the male is going to attempt to mount they can make a whimping type noise that indicates that they dont want to be mounted by the male anymore. This can idicate they are a little…[Read more]

Thank you for the update! It’s great to hear that the separation is successful in keeping things peaceful for all buns. Indeed, the humping can be normal– just monitor if it gets too intense, includes latching, or becomes a lot of backwards mounting, which can be dangerous (due to a nip down there being damaging).

It’s hard to confirm whether it’s “nightmares” — that being said, screaming definitely merits a veterinary visit. I believe I remember a case where the scream was linked to occasional internal pain occurring in the rabbit that would come and go. I imagine the diagnosis of “nightmares” needs to be a diagnosis of elimination, i.e., it is not…[Read more]

that’s a wonderful idea! i used to sprinkle dried herbs on her pellets when she was a little bit younger because she used to be picky about those as well, now she loves them! thank you so much ♡

thank you so much for your advice! i truly appreciate it! this morning i tried offering her the other foods and then giving her green leaf and it seemed to work perfectly. hopefully it remains that way. her pellets seem to meet the requirements in the link you provided, so at least she’s getting lots of nourishment from those! once again, thank you ♡

@BZOO, hi thanks for recommending Sherwood pellet, I’ll give it a try 🙂

Jinx is adorable!

For pet beds, Etsy is often a good place to search. I have sewn beds for my bun. She loved the one she had last summer, but when she grew out of it I sewed a new one and she only ever uses it to rest her head against.

Thanks very much, this is incredibly helpful information 🙂

Sherwood has a pellet that is designed for those that don’t eat much hay.  I gave it a try, as Boo was never much for hay.  They do love these pellets, but they have actually increased their hay intake, so I consider that a win!
