All three of my first rabbits where female and they would rearrange or nest even when not pregnant sometimes they would pull out there fur to add to the nest. Don’t panic. It’s normal for them to do this sometimes, especially at peek hormonal times.

Likely will be fine — may have an upset stomach for a bit so just push hay and water consumption.

That’s great! I’m glad he’s doing better.

If the head goes from one side to the other at the same pace, it could be scanning, which is normal. If the head is moving slowly to one side and then quickly back, it could be nystagmus; that’s most likely what google told you. Nystagmus is a neurological issue that can be caused by e cuniculi or a middle ear infection.

This looks like scanning. But the not being able to hop in a straight line part is concerning.

Gosh thank you so much for that answer.

It really reassures me that I’m not doing too bad.

As for picking him up, I don’t seem to be able to do it even with proper technique. He kicks everywhere and freak out, but maybe my technique ain’t that good…

Secondly, I’ve only had him for 6 days so it hasn’t even been 2 weeks and I’ve changed the…[Read more]

Hey everyone! Thank you for all of the help and advice. Mickey seems to be doing well. His poops were normal all day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. He had some excess cecotropes this evening that were mushy, but he had normal stool after that. I am still giving him the Nystatin and I do think it’s helping, I’m also giving him BeneBac as nee…[Read more]

Dang! Terry, Maggie, and Greebo sound magical!

Dana’s post – What did you use for “nose guards” to keep them from nipping through the pen? I struggled to find anything that was big enough to zip tie but small enough to keep their little noses from getting through. Currently I have the litter tray screens from the BinkyBunny store coming this we…[Read more]

Hi!

Do you mean cement or concrete?

Thank you for rescuing this rabbit! Please tell us more!

Hi and very welcome to Binky Bunny!

Your bun sounds like a wonderful and happy little guy!

I’ll try to answer your questions:

“First, his teeth. I cannot find a way to look at them witouth him running away. I ear him grind his teeth quite often, well almost all the time when he sleeps and I pet him or sometimes when I don’t and I don’t want to…[Read more]

I don’t blame you either for not wanting him to be a guinea pig, since this seems like it could heal on its own.

Lots of rabbits have lived long good lives without their front teeth. They primarily use those to pull food into their mouth (and to snip charger cables).

I glad you did the CT scan. It was good to make sure there wasn’t any additional damage. It sounds like there was, but it was minor… so that’s good. I’m not sure what you’re describing, but it sounds like they would essentially wire his jaw shut like they do in humans. I don’t blame you for not wanting him to be a guinea pig.

I think the wait…[Read more]

He made it through the cat scan well and we have the results.

Min-Min has a symphyseal fracture (incisor separation) to his lower jaw which is why his lower teeth looked misaligned. He also had two fracture lines in his left jaw bone (no broken back teeth). The doctor is not worried about the fracture lines because his jaw bones should hold those…[Read more]
