That is a bit unusual! Eating hay is healthy for him, so I think this is probably a positive change as long as he is eating plenty of hay and his poops look healthy and he does eventually eat both. How much pellets does he get per day?

It could be that he’s just a bit tired of his pellets, or that the bag is a bit stale. Sometimes a change in…[Read more]

@DanaNM Thank you! Yeah, I figured the closer ones may have to just grow out a bit to get them loose. His fur is going to be a project, but he is such a sweet bun. I can’t wait to spoil him! 🙂

Happy new year!

I really want to try and get my art business off the ground this year. I love my job but it’s destroying my body with how physically taxing it is.

Apollo is doing well but Luna is very unwell, we nearly lost her this week and still could, but she is showing improvement. Made a post about it in the House Rabbit Q and A section.

Just wanted to post an update.
I reached to my vet, and she also said it sounds like adrenal issue. She is going to take a blood test for the hormones this Sunday, and then see if levels are elevated. She said it can be treated surgically (by removing adrenal gland, but only 1 side can be removed, other is too close to some major vein) or by…[Read more]

You can often break up the mats (aside from trimming) if you pull on the sides of them. If there really are tons of them it may be easiest to just trim them all and start fresh, but if you just gradually work on them hopefully you can make progress! If they are really close to the skin it probably would be best to wait till the fur grows out a bit…[Read more]

It’s hard to see in the picture. Is it a scab that is close to the skin? Or does it protrude? It almost looks like a keratinized papilloma… but it’s hard to tell from the picture.

Do you see any “dandruff” or flakiness around the scab or at the nape of his neck or base of tail?

If not, Id just keep an eye and have a look at it daily. As long as its dry and doesn’t increase in size or the skin becomes very red around it, this will probably heal nicely without intervention.

If you see dandruff/skin flakes and/or see your…[Read more]

Yes they are caged side by side I just hope she feels better soon,  I’ve gotten her lots of new treats and toys but she seems sad still , I’m hoping that maybe some time on her own will help her feel rested

I do think it is important to get her spayed before you consider them fully bonded. Aside from the cancer risk (which is close to 75% by age 4 and goes up after that), the hormonal fluctuations that she will go through can trigger issues with the bond. The male might mount her excessively, which can be stressful to her, and she will also probably…[Read more]

Hi sorry, for some reason it didn’t attach the photograph. It’s small and she seems to be unbothered by it but I am a little worried about the missing hair around it.

My female isn’t spayed yet no but she seems to miss him alot ever since the babies have been rehomed she seems quite sad and anxious at the moment,  she’s very nervous all the time and she seems to be missing someone in the cage with her . Im not quite sure what to do she has always been a shy rabbit but I’m quite worried about her at the moment

Is your female spayed now?  Both rabbits should be castrated for the bond to be stable. Female rabbits also have very high rates of reproductive cancers if they are not spayed.

How long have the bonding sessions been? In general, bonded rabbits should show a lot of positive behaviors (cuddling, mutual grooming, sharing food and litter box), and…[Read more]
