Sorry, I didn’t see this. I don’t know what the dosage is. My bunny was probably around 3.5lbs at the time and the vet said to give him 1mg. How much wiggle room there is on the dosage, I don’t know. Anyway, it was a tablet that I found at a health food store. They weren’t very big, so it was easy to grind one up and mix it with some unsweetened…[Read more]

Okay! Thank you for the suggestion. i will keep an eye on her!(:

Thank you so much. I just went to check on him and he still seems totally fine. A little bit of whistling sound when he sniffs me, but still eating, drinking, taking treats, etc. so I assume it is probably best for me to just continue to keep an eye on him and not rush him off to the vet as that may stress him out and cause more problems than it’s worth?

Thank you!  The bouts tend to occur whenever there’s been a loud sound, particularly at night. I live in an apartment complex and so neighbors occasionally make a racket unfortunately.  But in general he just seems a lot more jumpy, he was such a laid back baby.

I do have my 3rd attempt at getting him neutered scheduled for March, and for both o…[Read more]

It’s hard to link lack of neutering to GI stasis bouts without knowing circumstances around those bouts specifically. Notably, many rabbits are molting right now so if your rabbit it, increased fur consumption may be a factor.

Stasis aside, generally yes we can assume rabbits who are neutered are less stressed. They are not as territorially…[Read more]

Its difficult even for a vet to tell the difference between a partially clogged nose and a lung problem, but a partially clogged nose is a lot more common.

Two things to look out for: If your bun starts breathing through his mouth – rabbits are obligate nose breathers and should never breathe through their mouth. Or if you see him sitting for any…[Read more]

He seems totally normal today. He’s eating, drinking, playing, pooping, etc. if I put my ear next to his nose, I can hear a little squeaking sound when he is sniffing, but he doesn’t seem to be having any trouble breathing at all. Is this reason to take him to the vet? I assumed that if it were a URI or pneumonia he would have gotten worse in the…[Read more]

I’m thinking I’ll probably do that. It’ll be a lot though. There’s a desk and chair that I’ll need to proof the legs on and a bookshelf with books on it. Plus the baseboard are literally 100 years old and are HUGE with a thick paint over them that I’m worried about. They aren’t really smooth and have a lot of grooves in them. I already ordered a…[Read more]

Beautiful boy!

My Walter and Boo say hello to Oscar.

Honestly, I would have the buns free-roam the whole room. I think you could make it really cute and bun-friendly once you bunny-proof the cords, walls and baseboards etc. You can buy cable protectors at IKEA for pretty cheap, and they have transparent wall corner protectors on Amazon! ♡

In my experience rabbits appreciate bolted lettuce. It’s like they like bitter taste. They do love dandelion greens and stalks and chicory leaves, things that are normally too bitter for humans.

Here’s a quite from my notes from an HRS lecture on nutrition and the GI tract:

It is difficult to say, because a rabbit can have some dandruff when they shed. Typically with fur mites, the hairloss is concentrated to areas where the mites fester, such as between the shouldblades and just above the root of the tail.

A rabbit can shed in patches.

I think you should keep an eye on this. If you see more dandruff or if you can…[Read more]
