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.

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]

Thank you!

Yes, she definitely stared at me during hee normal veggie time 😂

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

Thank you Bladesmith!

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]

Welcome back Bladesmith! I’m so sorry to hear about Dawn. 🙁

Omg yes Terry, Greebo, and Maggie were just a magical group.

I was so excited about the nose guards I made a post about them LOL https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/nose-guards/

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]

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!).

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!

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.

Does she chew on fabric? I wonder if you could place some folded up towels near the box to make a low step to make it a bit easier?

And lots of rabbits like to hang out in their litter box. Mine have been pretty indifferent about most beds, they either pee on them or ignore them lol

I’m so sorry to hear about this. You have definitely set-up the best foundation, which is getting that imaging work done and having a clear understanding of the cause-and-effect behind what you observed. I  have no personal experience nor do I have an idea of recommended treatments. Generally, it seems like treating symptoms as they arise and…[Read more]

I agree with Wick, skipping occasionally will not cause issues as long as she’s a good hay eater (a lot of people only feed veg once a day anyway). She may look at you very expectantly at her normal veggie time though 😉

She could need a different antibiotic. Do you think you could do a culture to see if another antibiotic would be better? And sometimes they do take a very long course to fully clear the infection.

Thanks for sharing your set-up photos! Always nice to see creative ways people work with their space and what they have.

Considering the size of the litterboxes, I would definitely encourage putting in more hay, and also note that a water bowl is generally recommended over a water bottle.

You can see here for information on recommended rabbit…[Read more]

@Gregoire , that is an ongoing issue with the forum we are trying to sort out. The workaround that Moonshadow described should work though!

With my bun, I believe the shots were every other day, but I can’t quite remember (I did them at home, and it wasn’t too bad once I got the hang of it). He handled them really well. He went back to eating right after he woke up (he also had a molar extraction), I think he must have felt better with that rotten tooth out of there. Towards the end…[Read more]

What is the quality and amount of discharge you see? What symptoms were occurring prior to starting medication (i.e., was there sneezing) and what is still there (i.e., is there still sneezing?).

In short, if there were typical URI symptoms prior to Baytril, like colored discharge, excessive sneezing, etc.,  and now there is no sneezing and the…[Read more]

Thanks for taking the time to provide all those details — admittedly, I only skimmed after reading the introduction of the two rabbits because the reason why bonding is so difficult is that you are trying to bond to male rabbits who are hormonal. Two un-neutered males is the most dangerous combination to put together.

I would pause all attempts…[Read more]
