It’s important that he eats. He might respond to enticing food like small pieces of fruit, fresh herbs, favorite greens or any kind of treats. My girl bun was spayed 6 weeks ago and dried goji berries was the first thing she ate – it’s not something you’d want to feed a bun a lot of due to high sugar content, but a little bit of pretty much…[Read more]

Hey!

Its really important that he eats post op, As Bam mentioned if he’s not eating on you may need to syringe feed him critical care. If he’s already refusing food I would just go ahead and syringe feed him gently and then continue to encourage him to eat on his own by offering a variety of temping grasses/forage/veggies.

Is it the other bun that’s producing these weird poop? Difficult to say perhaps, if both buns are housed together? after a bout of stasis, weird looking poops are pretty standard for some time after. As long as there is poop and the bun is eating and running around, there’s nothing else you need to do.

Bonding update

Really great bonding session tonight! Salem has not groomed Bodhi up until this point, but tonight he groomed him 3 separate times, all for at least a full minute or two! I was so excited, I didn’t get a picture. I was worried I’d spook them by moving around and they’d stop. I feel like they are definitely building a lot of trust.…[Read more]

How old is your bun? Is he neutered?

Thank you! She is home now!

They still don’t know the cause, and her blood PCV (packed cell volume) is still extremely low, so she’s still anaemic. PCV should be at least 35%. Under 30% is considered anaemic. On Thursday morning she was at 18% and today she only increased to 20%. The vet said that it’s the kidneys that communicate to the bone…[Read more]

This isn’t really something that is documented. Assuming you actually had salmonella or listeria, the only way for you to pass it your bunny would be via contact with bodily fluid or your poop. As a precaution, you would probably want to wash your hands thoroughly before feeding your bunny. You would probably want to avoid kissing your bunny too.…[Read more]

Oh wow! So did they ever determine whether or not it was the spider? How scary! I’m glad she seems to be doing better and can at least come home.

Thank you so much for your response, it has been really helpful and I just hope things will get better for him and us. Sorry I couldn’t reply earlier.

So Manchas got neutered today. We were both really nervous and scared. But everything went well. I’ve been noticing that he licks his wound. I see a little blood, but I’m trying  to prevent from h…[Read more]

I’m glad she gets to come home! 💗

Oh, I could do it then! Great idea! But my dad is up at 2:30 to give them more water, so I could to it at ten if I decide to. But you’re right, 11:15 would be better. And I won’t overdo the fruit. I will send my mom out again at 5am too.

I would not give them a lot of extra fruit, that could cause other problems and upset their gut. Extra veggies are hydrating though.

I can’t say how long it will take for the water to freeze, because I don’t know the specifics of the temp in the hutch.

If you go to bed at 11:15, why can’t you refill their water right before that?

Such good news!!!
