Crie started the topic Bunny age + euthenasia in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 6 months ago
I’m curious as to how old everyone’s buns were when they passed away, and for those that were put to rest, what the process was.
Clara is 12 and has quite a few problems, but her biggest issue is her spine (multiple small fractures, so her back legs are weak, but she still gets around) and now a jaw/tooth abscess.
I’m struggling with continuing…[Read more]

Bladesmith replied to the topic Rabbit Pooping Near Litterbox in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 6 months ago
I’d get rid of the lid, for starters, see if that helps. Like people rabbits attitudes change from time to time, and maybe he’s changed his mind. Also, rabbits eat and poop at the same time, it would be better to have his food sources aligned with his litter box. I don’t have a hay box for Loki, his hay sits in a pile in the litter pan along wi…[Read more]

I wouldn’t have thought about dust from the hay being an irritant, so thank you for pointing that out. I’m glad she recently migrated to a floor pen so she doesn’t have to climb/jump onto a box or ramp to get to her old set up any more. We’ve also been placing more bowls of water around for her because one of the medicines she’s on is a diuretic,…[Read more]

henry2809 replied to the topic Update after seeing a specialist- advice needed in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 6 months ago
After his exam last week, the specialist said that she really doesn’t feel like it’s dysautonomia or megacolon because most of the time his poops are absolutely perfect. She said that rabbits with those conditions usually have abnormal poops most of the time and their cecum feels strange on physical exam (which his did not) and his x-rays from bac…[Read more]

Crie replied to the topic 12yo w/ bottom tooth/jaw abcess in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 6 months ago
Honestly, she’s only been put under once in her life, and that was when she was 1yo and I got her fixed.
The doctors plan was to lightly sedate her, not put her completely under, and then numb the area and cut it open to get out as much puss as possible.
I’m not sure what meds she would be on after her mini op, but I feel like most meds have…[Read more]

jmdb started the topic Bonding going backwards… I'm at a loss in the forum BONDING 4 years, 6 months ago
Hi, it’s been a while since I posted but I began trying to bond my bunnies for the second time one month ago.
Monkey – 1.5 years, female, netherland dwarf (spayed early 2020)
Tokki – 1 year, male, mini lop / lionhead / angora cross (neutered april 2020)
So… I’ve been doing daytime bonding for 5+ hours per day and this time around went much…[Read more]

I give Bun Jovi those oxbow joint support tabs and they seem to help? In any case, he loves them so it’s a nice treat.

DanaNM replied to the topic Update after seeing a specialist- advice needed in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 6 months ago
Hmmm, the cycling does remind me a bit of what can happen with megacolon/cowpile/ cecal dysautonomia. But I also agree with your vet that having normal and healthy poops in between episodes doesn’t fit that diagnosis. Usually buns with megacolon never have healthy looking poops.
How is his weight? Weight loss (and specifically loss of muscle…[Read more]

@Ellie OMG that is so frustrating! I hope things calm down with that bunny once she gets spayed and is in a stable home.

And also wanted to update everyone that WE HAVE THEM ALL BACK!
We moved into our new place about 2 weeks ago, and to say we are relieved is a huge understatement. The buns are all doing great and see very happy to be home (but it is also obvious they were very well cared for). Just revamped their pens and am spending lots…[Read more]

You can connect them with tiny zip ties. You can also use small mesh hardware cloth (1/2″ or 1/4″ mesh size), they sell it in rolls at the hardware store. It’s basically…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic *BONDED* Scared bun, stubborn bun and stressed human in the forum BONDING 4 years, 6 months ago
That’s so awesome! I LOVE when they just finally “click” like that! It really sounds like the fact that Bella is feeling better is helping a lot!
I think if you think they are ready for an overnight, go for it! And yes, it will involve sleeping near enough to the bunnies that you will hear if a fight breaks out (believe me, you will hear it!).

DanaNM replied to the topic The never ending race in the forum BONDING 4 years, 6 months ago
Agree with Wick 100%, stop all interactions for now and wait till you can get them both neutered. Keep them separated for now. Bonding will be basically impossible will they are intact, and you won’t really make any progress. Letting them interact now could even make things harder, because they are hormonal and smell different than they will once…[Read more]

Thanks Bam! Yeah, all is well now, Mom is well and Alyssa is back to being an honor roll student. She just thrives in an academic setting. And I’m glad you’re still crocheting! I love your work, and it’s something I could never do. I’d end up stabbing myself with those needles.
It’s so good to be back!

DanaNM replied to the topic Litter box blues in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 6 months ago
I agree with Cinnamon Bun that it could be because he doesn’t feel great right now. It might help to block access to the couch until he’s 100% recovered to prevent it from becoming a habit.
