oh, well imagine a very faint kinda “cough” sound. She got a tiny bit better. Like very faintly for a short time. Because she got bad GI a day after her antibiotics ended. Her nose whistles when she’s excited more than when she’s relaxed.

I think apple juice would be a safer choice for mixing with water. Citrus can be a bit weird on the gut flora sometimes.

Personally, in my N=2 where one is a male and one is a female, my female rabbit who I adopted at 1yo (vs. my male rabbit who I got at 8wo) has 1) superbly better litterbox habits (than any other rabbit I’ve interacted with, as a volunteer at two rabbit rescues, haha) and 2) goes out of her regularly to request pets from me while she lounges by my…[Read more]

oh thank you! I honestly do recommend spaying/neutering buns,,it’s just that I heard from some articles that male bunnies are more friendly compared to female bunnies,,so basically there are lots of people who overthinks on whether to get female bunnies and male bunnies,,but honestly even me myself am thinking on adopting female bunnies but I’m…[Read more]

Oranges are a rabbit-safe fruit (https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Treats#Fruits). That being said, you do not want to “over do it” with sugar when a rabbit is in GI distress, as excessive sugar (as opposed to getting the rabbit to eat critical care or hay) can irritate the intestinal lining further (similar to what we expect when a rabbit eats too many…[Read more]

This does sound normal!

The nervousness is very real…. yes! Hoping to hear good news soon!

Unfortunately I do not hear anything on the recording — that being said, nose whistling/general respiratory “struggles” are common indicators of an upper respiratory infection, and it is common for veterinarians to start antibiotics for treating it rather than waiting for a culture to come back or something like that. URIs are relatively common…[Read more]

Male and female rabbit care is identical — the exception would be that females have an astronomically higher rate of reproductive-related cancer (i.e., uterine cancer) than the male counterpart (i.e., testicular); therefore, spaying a female rabbit is generally considered a requirement, while neutering a male rabbit who will be single and is not…[Read more]

Okay, I think she’s starting to get a little dehydrated because her poops are small and lighter now. I gave her all her GI meds and her pain meds because she didn’t seem her self this morning and I don’t wanna take any chances. I decided to mix 3 freshly squeezed oranges with 6-8 cups of water. She willingly takes it by 10ml syringes. Is that…[Read more]

Thanks both for the info on water! Very useful and that rabbit wiki was useful too! I have been syringing her water the last two days, much of it she has just been dribbling out so I tried the spiking the water with a touch of apple juice method but didn’t really help.

She’s at the vets today going for an ultrasound so I am just anxiously waiting…[Read more]

I too want to make sure the amount of molt that is going on over here is normal. We’ve had our bun for a year this coming 1st week of January. When we adopted him he was barely losing any hair that time of year, but just this week (almost one year later) he is molting like CRAZY. The biggest shed we’ve had with him all year…to the point where it…[Read more]

Oohh boy this has happened to me a couple times, but I won’t make that mistake again LOL.  When we adopted our bun, he was already on Oxbow orchard grass and I thought to get him some nice local orchard. So I purchased a half bale and even after I thought he liked the sample I was given, he totally rejected it. Like others have mentioned, I have…[Read more]

It depends on the rabbit. Some are very picky when it comes to “good” hay and “bad” hay. It isn’t uncommon for them to pee on it, spread it all around, throw it on the floor, etc. while looking for that perfect piece. Your best bet would probably be to just top off the hay regularly. Hay that is spread around might still be eaten, but there is…[Read more]
