Poor Charlie 🙁 And poor you! I know you have been dealing with this for so long, and have tried so many different things.

I don’t really have anything to contribute I’m afraid, just want to say I’m sorry you are still going through this with her. 🙁

On picking up: my bunny now lets me pick him up (does not love it but he tolerates me lol) but it was not the case at the beginning. What really helped me was the towel/blanket method I saw in one of the videos online. You basically throw the blanket/towel over the bunny (covering its entire body, including the head). The bunny will stay still…[Read more]

My bunny (4 pounds/2kg, holland lop) is on a pellet-free diet (almost). I give him 4-5 pellets as a treat every 2-3 days, if even that, and he is doing fine (we go to the vet every 2-3 months because we travel with him, and before each trip I have him checked for the peace of mind). He gets 4-5 types of veggies every day, about 1 cup (always…[Read more]

That’d be nice! I’ll take a look at those

If they’re all okay, then, I think I’ll stick to Garden Select, since that’s what she’s already on. Plus, she’s a bit older, and even though she’s super smart and in good health, I don’t think she’d be a big fan of another pellet change

That, and I hate transitioning pellets. It’s such a hassle

So, I tried the SoPhresh litter, and this stuff is comfy for her. And I don’t know why, but as soon as we switched her to this, she started only using the back of her litter box, and then gets closer to the front as it gets soiled (which isn’t often, as I keep her box cleaned regularly). This way, I can remove half of it, and then fill it back up…[Read more]

Ok so as of last night, the only difference between the living room and downstairs room is that Maxwell resists his head being mounted upstairs.  They may not cuddle as much either, but they still stay close mostly, both groom each other, etc..I put a hay tray and litter box in there yesterday and though they only used the hay tray together for a…[Read more]

Okay great! I syringed a couple ml of water after her medication as to not stress her by constant handling. When you say you start with 6 ml, how much would be too much in day? I’ve always used bowls so never really measured how much they drink.

I am going to try get more critical care off the vets as I don’t have any fresh stuff left at home……[Read more]

Hey,

It’s very common for rabbits who are just placed into the same enclosure to start fighting or showing negative behaviours. So I think if you bond them properly after they are all spayed/neutered, they will eventually get on just fine. It would be rare for the male to not get on with the others but the bonding must be done properly.

I am so sorry you lost Pablo. It is an awful decision to have to make. It does sound like he was very ill. There are several possible causes for severe anemia, none of them good, including cancer. I do believe you made the right choice for him, but I’m familiar with that nagging guilt that says perhaps I couldve done more.

Vets like to treat…[Read more]

Thank you for this report! Weightloss tips for rabbits are very important and useful!

Fibafirst does contain things that arent “natural” components of a rabbit’s diet, such as wheat flour, soybean flour and ground peas. Since rabbit feed producers as a rule dont declare energy content, I dont know if Fibafirst are extra energy dense. Rabbits tend…[Read more]

Ok so updating this in case someone finds it interesting / useful. And can provide me with their opinion:

Martini managed to lose all his extra weight by doing all of the above (mainly cutting down veggies, alternating one day half of fibafirst stick, one day 4-5 pellets as you suggested here). Once he hit the magical 2kg I started giving him 1/2…[Read more]

Yes.  As is the case for my vet… But I will still bring her to my vet for advice and results.

I forgot to say this earlier, but thank you very much for your reply!  I looked at your links.  I found them very helpful and have taken note of its info in case she is pregnant.

So do I need to neuter the mum first ? And wait till the baby is matured?I’m just worried the dad will never get on with them
