If you want to provide extra flavor options and she won’t eat fresh, you could try some dried herbs. I have one who can’t eat fresh anything due to digestive trouble and he eats dried sage, mint, dandelion, chamomile, etc. No guarantee she would like it though if she’s picky!

I agree with Wick that it probably doesn’t really matter. 🙂

Thank you. As he’s young and already started to have problems I’m going to just stick to the few veggies he normally eats.

<p style=”padding-left: 40px;”>It’s possible something made him gassy and you actually prevented stasis by getting him meds early. I keep some baby symethicone on hand to give when I suspect someone is gassy or not feeling well and give it half an hour before I start calling for a vet. I had one case of gassy bunny that the gas drops helped, and…[Read more]

In truth, as long as she is eating an appropriately limited amount of good quality rabbit pellets and she is hydrating well with water, she doesn’t actually need veggies — pellets do the vast majority of the work in filling in the nutritional gaps a mainly-hay diet leaves.

To ensure you are feeding good quality pellets, see here:…[Read more]

Glad the sheet works! And yes, rabbit-appropriate floor is imperative for a rabbit to actually be able to exercise comfortably. Rabbits do not have pads on their feet like dogs and cats, so they are just wearing fuzzy socks 24/7. Inappropriate flooring can not only lead to joint issues down the line, but generally hampers a rabbit’s ability to…[Read more]

There are some suggestions/pictures/descriptions here of rabbit-safe ‘bathing’ methods: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Bathing_rabbits

In tandem with those techniques, I recommend trying to find flooring that will pull moisture away as quickly as possible and not stay stagnant as a puddle on the ground. Personally, I’ve found Sheepette to be amazing at this.

It is safest to assume it really doesn’t come into play — puberty can really change some rabbits, while others just go with the flow and seem “the same”. The most informed guesses about bonding compatibility only comes after rabbits are at least 1mo post-spay/-neuter, which is when they are no longer hormonal.

Yes, a baby bond is not a true…[Read more]

Okay great, thanks for clarifying that! I will stick to an 30 mins to an hour for now until the weather warms up a bit more 🙂

I believe Bella used to be an outdoor bunny before we rescued her anyway so might be more acclimated to the temps.

I accidentally answered your question with my reply to another comment in more detail, but yes, a vet determined they had not dropped.

I hope I am replying correctly, this forum interface is really clunky on my phone.

Thanks so much for the sheets idea. I went ahead and lined the inside of his cage with sheets at night and he’s been sleeping like a champ and not shaking the enclosure. I’ve also started letting him out for supervised bink times where I cover our rugs and cou…[Read more]

If your rabbit is not prone to eating/destroying fabric, a handmade hay feeder out of cloth would be fine — I’d aim for 100% cotton just in case. Make sure the holes are a safe size (i.e., not one where they can get stuck in it).
