I haven’t seen any drastic hair loss.  Only the usual individual fur flying like my other two bunnies.  The crust/scab is gone, and she hasn’t grown anything new.  She also acts normally.  I’m not sure what it was, but I think it’s not serious.

I agree with the others. There is no harm in treating for mites even if the vet couldn’t see any. Revolution or ivermectin would be your best bets. They are safe for rabbits and generally effective. Advantage is safe too, but not effective against certain mites.

Rabbits can take antihistamines. The most common kind that is used is Children’s…[Read more]

Ivermectin is considered safe. Medirabbit does address ivermectin use in pregnant mammals here: http://www.medirabbit.com/Safe_medication/Anti_parasitics/Ivermec.htm.

You do want to be careful though. I don’t know what kind you are using, but overdoses happen more often when trying to dose down from a formula meant for a large animal (horse,…[Read more]

Mucus does not necessarily mean there is bacteria. It is a sign of inflammation. The inflammation may or may not be from a bacterial infection. I agree about the poultry feed. That is likely the cause of all of the digestive issues. That stuff is not formulated for rabbits. It has a lot of starch in it, which is not good for rabbits to eat.…[Read more]

Thank you, and you’re welcome ^_^

It’s likely that one of his parents is a Nethie, because of his small size. Besides pygmy rabbits there are few breeds that are below 1,5 kg, so there is some Nethie in there. It does happen that mixes don’t show much of one parent. Owen and Molly are definitely descended from a Nethie mother, but only Molly is…[Read more]

Lovely gifts, Parsleybun!

My bun got 2 activity boards *the kind you hide treats in( and a home made pillow thats shes just rested half her little self on so far 🤪😂

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.
