His fur is thick and healthy he doesn’t have any patches his skin looks good over all and between his paws. He itches his feet the most.

The litter I use is called ‘Back 2 Nature small animal bedding & litter’ however I swapped this for Timothy hay in hopes that it would help with the itching

His diet is unlimited alfalfa hay, he has a forage…[Read more]

My understanding is that the otter coat color can be bred into a range of different breeds, but I’m not 100% on that!

If it’s been good for 24 hours, he could have had something in his eye (like some hay dust) that was bothering him but that you got out.

I think I would keep his appointment and keep an eye on it for now (no pun intended, lol).

If you can grind up the hay finely that could help!

you can also try offering fresh grass if it’s available in your area (and not sprayed with pesticides or growing by a roadway).

Thank you so much! This was so informative~ 😀

Molly and Owen are beyond cute!! I actually completely agree not a Nethie at all – I ended up looking more into the breeder’s listing and I found some more bunnies (that are from the same mom and dad as our little Booger) and I came across a little baby listed as a Purebred Nertherland with the…[Read more]

Thank you! 🙂

Ah! Got it!

Would you guys recommend if I add the powdered hay on mushed pellets when force feeding I would try to encourage him to eat his hay though.

i have order benebac may arive in 4-7 days ( i know i should have ordered it sooner cause i think benebac is only used for diarrhea i have given him erceflora which might not the best option but i hope it helps its the thing my community keep spamming when they say “what’s the medicine for rabbit diarrhea”. i might cut the hay into smaller pieces…[Read more]

Thanks for responding!!

It is clear discharge, not goopy at all. It actually hasn’t been wet for about 24 hrs now.  I boiled water and put it on a cloth and wiped his eye down, is it possible that it dislodged something in his tear duct I wonder? (I don’t know how deep/intricate their eye system is).

Other then that,  he binkys, eats normally, f…[Read more]

You should phase out the poultry pellets (dont stop from one day to another, they must be phased out slowly) so that he starts to eat more and more hay. If you can get rabbit pellets you can slowly wean him on to rabbit pellets. The poultry pellets could be the root cause of his problems.

Benebac is widely used with rabbits and many of our…[Read more]

If he is eating poultry pellets and not hay, that is not healthy for his gut flora. Rabbits need a lot of fiber in their diet for their poop to move through properly. Poultry feed is mostly starch, so could contribute to an overgrowth of bacteria, gas build up, and imbalance, along with poop getting backed up in his system. I highly doubt that…[Read more]

2nd update his having diarrhea. I have erceflora. Which the pH community gives on a rabbit having diarrhea. I’m planning on buying benebac is it ok for them? I search Google says yes but Im asking if some of you guys have tried it.

Rabbits shouldn’t be itching themselves so often — how does his fur/skin look? I agree that treating for mites may be a good measure– not all mites are perceivable to the eye.

You could isolate him to a different area done-up in cardboard and generally nothing but the bare-minimum and see if there’s any relief to rule out allergens.

There’s…[Read more]

Its difficult to say if you’re being “paranoid”, because young rabbits do scratch themselves often, but they’re not supposed to scratch themselves incessantly. Maybe you could film him?

I looked up Bob Martins my little friend spot on, and I got som hits saying it contains fipronil as its active ingredient. Fipronil can be lethal to rabbits  so…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum! Do share pics once you get them ^_^

It’s so good to see people do their research! Broadly speaking: most “common knowledge” about rabbits is wrong. I sometimes invite people who want to get rabbits, and they’re always surprised that rabbits shouldn’t be eating whole carrots. They’re also surprised that rabbits are NOT low…[Read more]

Update he poop kinda lot compare to the 3 giants I pictured. He poop 2 size of giant ones 2-3 half the size of medium ones and 20fecal pellets worth hard ones. I did enema him again which help only 40ml I did lessen giving him enema he burst out a lot of soft poop which I don’t think healthy since it has mucous. Mucous means there’s a bacterial…[Read more]
