Now that the mini’s have upgraded to the same size/style of litter box, we’ve begun moving soiled litter/boxes around between the two pairs. The mini’s didn’t care at all about Smudge and Scout’s litter being introduced to their box. S&S were definitely more curious and somehow I got lucky that it almost seems to encourage them to pee on the…[Read more]

I only have experience with French angora/Jersey wooly fur type. It’s wool, but it has guard hairs. The guard hairs help prevent matting. I would only groom once per week as a general upkeep. Molting, of course, required daily grooming.

I don’t know if the concept is the same, but I assume it is. I found it much easier to start underneath and at…[Read more]

As I know he only did not eat normally for 5-6 days the rest the same as what I give him to maintain his weight I reduce his pellets since he had stasis. My two other buns are 4 years old 2.4kilos male and female 2.8 kilos is this normal for them they do look has fat and not skinny though you can feel the spine has a curve but not to deep compare…[Read more]

In my honest opinion, I think her weight is fine as long as it is stable, considering the small size of Lionheads.

Thank you! I woke up to a full box of perfect poops this morning, so I’m thinking it was just temporary. Maybe even stress from the fireworks. He is eating very well today, taking treats, etc. so I’m trying not to worry!

Coccidia? No, I wouldn’t think that looking at these pictures. Dana is right, irregular poops, teardrop poops, etc. are caused by the gut slowing down and/or dehydration.

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking as well. He is eating and drinking like normal and he is acting totally fine. I’ve noticed that he’s done this a few times since his episode of stasis a few months ago and it always just sorts itself out with extra hay!!

Bam- Ooooh I can’t wait for Snöa to find a husbun! So exciting!

Glenn- Good luck with the lion bonding!

And yes to going outside more often too! My brother is a personal trainer and he says its helpful to make goals and resolutions very specific an achievable so you know when you’ve accomplished them. So something like “go for a 10 minute walk…[Read more]

Sounds very promising indeed! (Tentative woohoos!)

To me that looks more like potentially some GI slow down, maybe due to gas pain.  Gas or stasis are much more common causes of smaller or irregular poops than coccidia.

Coccidia tends to cause diarrhea and lots of soft poops, not just the irregular shaped ones. I think since his poops went back to normal I would just keep an eye on things. It…[Read more]

Thankyou 😊😊

Hiya! Yes the first one is satin fur 🙂 and the second sounds about right, breeder had lion heads also.

thank you for your feedback! 😊

Hmm… it’s hard to tell. Does the first one have satin fur? I’m not really getting that from the picture. The second one looks like a lionhead mix.

Happy New Year

Wishing a healthy and happy year to you and all your buns!

Parsleybun – going outside is a great resolution! I might try adopt that one too.

Dana- lovely to hear your buns will be back soon, will be so rewarding and worth the wait once your all moved in!

Bam- good luck with the husbun search and bonding! Getting mine bonded will…[Read more]

I was going to try to eat healthier… but I know that isn’t going to happen. So I think I’m going to try to eat less, since I have a tendency to eat too much.

It snowed a little bit here. It’s super cold though, so that’s no fun. :

That’s how Elmer and Ruby were, he wasn’t a big cuddler in general. The way Maxwell and Ruby were the other day was like all day.. I’d never seen Elmer do that, so it felt like they were happy to finally accept each other now they’re good, haha. Like a one day honeymoon!

We have moved upstairs. Only been 30 min or so, but they are doing better…[Read more]
