I’m so sorry this happened but very glad he’s improved!

He may eat the critical care off of a plate or spoon as well, since it sounds like he took it willingly!

Sometimes when buns get into the habit of doing something, they are hard to break from it! Since his cage is his box, he prob figures he’s still going “in his box” by jumping on top!

Is the cage set up in a way that you could remove the roof? Or maybe forgot the cage entirely and have his setup in a pen instead? Maybe a completely new arrangement…[Read more]

Does he eat plenty of hay? If so, then I agree with the others that it’s prob due to fur. If you notice he doesn’t eat that much hay (or his appetite for hay goes down), or you notice a lot of large pieces of unchewed hay in his poop I suggest getting his teeth checked. One of my past buns had some molar issues and the first symptom was weird…[Read more]

I’m not familiar with that medication, but it is discussed in this medirabbit article: http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_diseases/Generalities/Enteritis_en.htm

I think adding a variety of grass hays is a good idea, and you are right that fiber is the name of the game.

How many pellets does he normally get? And how many treats and fruits does he…[Read more]

Awww look at her! What a brave baby!

I’m glad she’s feeling better! In general pain is not good for bonding, so I hope things actually go more smoothly!

Well, we got the go ahead to resume the bonding from our exotics vet!

Bella has taken well to her new pain meds (all detailed in another thread so I wont go over it here) and is a bouncier bun than she’s ever been…. I am a little worried her new found energy is going to make things more difficult than before as they have already been a pretty…[Read more]

Alright, so I just picked up the liquid nystatin and he is supposed to get 1.8 ml every 12 hours for 10 days. He is pretty difficult to medicate and that’s a lot of medication, so we will see how this goes. My biggest fear ever is him aspirating from giving meds/baby gas drops/critical care. From what I have read online and other forums, it a…[Read more]

Hmmm, so how long have they been spending in neutral territory?

Some pairs need a slower transition, and a period of supervision again.

Is there a way you can build a temporary “semi-neutral” territory? Such as a pen set up in the room they use for exercise, but not their main cage/pen?

Also, whenever I move buns to their final home, I clean…[Read more]

Beautiful bunnies!

Bunston and Bertha took me about 3 months. I made some mistakes in the beginning for sure that probably set things back a bit as they were my first bond. I had another pair take 4 months, and they were almost more frustrating because they would get along for hours and hours and then fight in the evenings. I did eventually bond…[Read more]

Also, so you can put a face to the names. I’ve paid the rabbit tax and uploaded photos here https://imgur.com/a/YMEZkry

Order is

Toast (Grey), New Boy (Black), New 2 (White & Brown), Honey (Brown)

It would be safest to wait until after her spay, even though I know it’s annoying to wait that long!

The main concern would just be that if her hormones start fluctuating, it could trigger fighting between them, or make their interactions less predictable. It could also be that she hasn’t really hit puberty yet, so things go fine between them,…[Read more]

<p class=”user-nicename”>@Ellie from The Netherlands Ohhh so excited for Molly! My Carrotina is a little bit of a shy girl too.</p>
@GlennTheLionhead My buns aren’t picky-except for the toys. It’s either they hate the toy or it’s ruined in 1 day. At least they eat their hay and veggies nicely.

I’ve been emailing with his specialist and she really doesn’t seem too concerned at all since his fecal pellets are completely normal and healthy between his episodes of softer stool. Hopefully an increase in fiber from the new hay mix will help

I’m so sorry to hear about your bun, and thank you for your advice. He is still eating and drinking wonderfully and his poops look great between flare-ups of mushy poop, so the specialist thinks he will be fine. I hope he is! I’m introducing some orchard grass hay with the Timothy that he already eats and he seems to like it!

Unfortunately, my bunny passed away. We tried almost 2 months, but my bunny had a complex cecal dysbiosis issue. I feel he died because of pain suddenly. Just watch out for any unusual sign if your bun is having.

Most of the bunny recovers with appropriate diet, So do not worry.

Thank you so much! I’m going to try the antifungal to see how he does and I have Metacam on hand. Did your bunny end up recovering okay?
