One more thing, one of my bunnies have had many x-rays done to him could the vet had diagnose him based on those x-rays if he did have megacolon.

I get that, i feel like they’re diet is good and full of hay, it’s that they get the occasional oval poops and i tend to brush them both 3 times a week. I’m just wondering what could be causing that.

Megacolon is a condition impacting how the GI system functions, so your question is a bit off-target since some poops that come from a rabbit with megacolon may literally be the result of a gut slow down or related/resulting complication. It is not one or the other nor would you be able to tell from a single pooping instance.…[Read more]

No experience with this one, but I have used Serenity Snack from the BB store. It definitely has a calming effect, but I would say what you witnessed is probably more on the extreme end. Then again, chamomile is used in “bedtime” teas for people.

I honestly don’t measure the blends…. if there are instructions, please abide by them, haha. I just typically sprinkly the top of the hay pile so that’s definitely less than a full handful just grabbing from the bag, but more than half a teaspoon, so I don’t think you’re giving a ton at all. That being said, I would say that “nervous lately” is…[Read more]

My bunnies have never reacted in this way, but that’s not to say it couldn’t happen?

I am so sorry you are going through this. I am in the same boat with my 12yo girl, and it is torture.

I also asked if they had same day…[Read more]

Beautiful message Jade, thank you for sharing that info from your vet  <3

One other thing that really helped me after Bertha died was I fostered some bunnies for the rescue in my town. I wasn’t ready to adopt again quite yet, but having the fosters around really helped both me and Bun Jovi (who she was bonded too). I didn’t end up adopting them, but the info I was able to give the shelter about their behavior helped…[Read more]

I’m so sorry you have been through this too, I’m glad your friend was there and her bonded bun to look after her and also that she passed peacefully. she looks a beautiful bun!

I think she may have been holding on for you too, animals form such bonds with us I truly believe she may have done that.

thank you so much, when I’ve stopped crying…[Read more]

thank you so much for your kind message xxx

That’s great! Sounds like great progress.

I’m not seeing pictures though. The forum is having some issues with pictures, but if you add them to your profile (as though you are going to change your profile photo), they will stay in your media library. Then in the post you click the “Add Media” button and you should be able to insert them.

Are you referring to this product specifically? It appears to be only paper-based, so it should be safe unless packaging indicates the odor control is accomplished by some sort of additive.
