Thank you LBJ! I’ve never heard of those types of bunnies (I’m new at this) but I’m excited to learn! Interestingly enough, his brother is the same shape but completely white with a few black spots. Thanks, for identifying Max’s color!!! When filling out vet paperwork, I would put ‘a mix of brown, black, auburn…’. LOL! But now I know!

Sorry your having trouble finding a match! I know what your going through, it took me about 3 months to finally find the *perfect* match for my boy and I couldn’t even speed date them because she was a 1.5 he drive away. I would just like to say hang in there, it might take time but you will find the match! I think one day I got so frustrated it…[Read more]

Yes she said to syringe feed until she is not eating on her own. Which was only one day and she is eating hay now.

So I can give her greens too? Wont it be bad for her?

Thank you so much for your reassurance and advice. I completely agree with everything that you said. I just spent about 2 hours in my room with him, and he is totally normal as far as I can tell. He is playing, binkying, eating, drinking, pooping, and begging for treats and I haven’t heard any more weird sneezing/coughing sounds. I really do s…[Read more]

If you are taking fine care of your rabbit, including but not limited to proper diet, clean environment, and general good husbandry practices, it would be highly unusual for pneumonia to suddenly appear out of nowhere. A mild URI is much more common than full-blown pneumonia. You’ll see here (https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Pneumonia) that the…[Read more]

I tried separating them tonight again and this time he ate most of his too! He left a little bit behind and then when I let Bear back in, he tried to guard it, but not eat it. I tried dumping the leftovers throughout the cage and then he didn’t seem to care. He’s such a weird little rabbit lol. I think he’s more tense and territorial than usual…[Read more]

I’m just incredibly paranoid about pneumonia since I know it’s almost always fatal (this forum has scared me about pneumonia) so I usually get really anxious when he sneezes/coughs even though last time, back in September, his vet reassured me that it’s very rare and sneezing is usually due to irritation from hay/fur or a mild URI- not pneumonia.

I only noticed it today. I could go pick up a new bag of hay tomorrow. I get the same brand every time (Oxbow Western Timothy) but each bag varies a little bit in texture, how much dust, etc. so I may have just gotten an extra dusty bag? It would be the same hay, just a different bag. I just listened to him breathe by putting my ear near his nose…[Read more]

If it was just this one incident, then I would just watch him. Are you able to switch the hay out for something different?

Hmm… the white paw might be a clue. The Vienna gene might be mixed in there somehow. Beveren is not a common breed, but they are large and they do carry the Vienna gene. His main color is chestnut agouti, which is common in Flemmies.

Stealing food from each other usually isn’t a concern. Bunnies are weird and they will think whatever the other bunny is eating must be the good stuff. If nobody is losing weight because of it and there is no actual fighting, then I wouldn’t see a problem.

If you separate them, could you try giving Sage his first? Perhaps if he sees Bear doesn’t…[Read more]

I and other users do have experience with PenG shots. Myself and another user detail our process in responses from this old topic that may be helpful to read: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/penicillin-subq-injections/

There are videos specifically here you can explore as well:…[Read more]

Thank you for your reply! Turns out it was an abscess in her ear that I couldn’t see because she is a lop rabbit. The vet described her ear canal as bent straw and I can only see to the bend because I don’t have an ear scope ( I am trying to buy one). She has had surgery and I am hoping the abscess will not return. I am going to ask to up her…[Read more]

Thank you!  And yes, I can finally stop stressing and all the time back I was spending on them😀
