If she approves of orange but hates apple, orange is the way to go. It must be something that she finds appealing.

Congratulations of being Max’s humsn!

I think you’ll notice if the vet feels comfortable handling rabbits. You can help Max by bringing a fleece blanket or terry cloth towel to put on the examination table. Exam tables are slippery and scary for rabbits-they need to have a hard, smooth surface for cleaning purposes, but rabbits find such surfaces…[Read more]

We ended up not getting to meet the bun, she had a list of people wanting to adopt (& I applied only a couple days after she went live). There are 3 new buns in, but they are a bonded trio and adorable as the may be, that’s more buns than my small place could handle! I did consider it 😀

@DanaNM I wish I could help, I know with puppies and…[Read more]

Go onto YouTube and play fireworks sounds at a low volume near them so they get used to the sounds of the sizzles, bangs, pops, and sparks. Then as they get used to it, increase the volume to a more normal range of sound. Doing that may help desensitize them, since they’ll realize it’s just noise not something chasing them. Doing that worked per…[Read more]

Yes! Max searches through his hay! I imagined he was looking for the perfect strand to eat! Now I know that’s what he is actually doing! LOL!  What bun wouldn’t like fresh hay?! I’ll continue to top it off… thank you!!!

That’s a really good idea- having a rack in addition to putting hay in the box!! Thank you!

Oh my goodness,  I had absolutely no idea.  Woah.  Thanks so much for letting me know!! Thankfully, it’s a simple fix- remove the hood!  Thanks again!!

Good news is she’s woken up okay and is back at home very sleepy but warm and nibbling here and there.

Unfortunately they couldn’t find anything in the ultrasound but the vets are pretty positive that there’s something wrong with her urinary tract, since noticing the lethargy I’ve been watching her like a hawk and discovered nothing or very…[Read more]

Thanks! It’s so great to see her like that with all she has been through! I have taken so many videos and pics. There are so many cute and funny ones but I don’t want to post too many.. I did find one more that I didn’t realize I had, it was just a few minutes before she did the zoomies and they seemed to start playing well (this was at the end of…[Read more]

Awww look at those zoomies! so cute!

Unrelated to your question, but just wanted to point out depending on how often you change the box, hooded litterboxes can trap ammonia and be dangerous for rabbits as a result.

Yes, probably! I just hope once we come back upstairs she will act so happy! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ruby run around like that.

The reason I chose orange juice is because she is a VERY picky bunny. Her list of hates are far longer than her list of likes. She doesn’t like apples, so I’m not sure how effective apple juice would be in regards to enticing her to drink. She loves oranges, bananas, and is okay with blueberries. Every other fruit I’ve tried to give her she rejec…[Read more]

If you are seeing your rabbit cough, that is a valid reason to go to the veterinarian for assessment as soon as possible — coughing is not normal in rabbits at all and suggests something serious is going on in the lungs that requires medical attention/treatment.

If there was improvement on the antibiotic, I recommend discussing it further with a…[Read more]

I’m glad they calmed back down! It does sound like a case of moving to less-neutral too quickly. It’s really amazing how much of a difference location can make.

Hopefully the next long session goes well!

It can be hard to tell, so I like to have a hay rack (hung over the box) in addition to the hay that’s in the box so I know for sure they always have some fresh.

I’ve had I think about a 50/50 split of males and females, and my girls have been wonderful. My bridge bunny Bertha was the friendliest sweetest rabbit I have ever met.

Spaying is important but other than that the care is the same. I think if she likes the bun, she should go for it, regardless of the bun’s sex.

That sounds fine and yes, plenty of hay and hidey-holes. There’s a chance the rabbits will not be phased at all or if they are, that they’ll habituate to it quickly once they realize it’s just noise and nothing is harming them.
