Bam replied to the topic Help needed: bunny recovering from GI stasis in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 8 months ago
Again, I’m so sorry. It really hurts to lose a beloved rabbit. There’s something profoundly horrible about not being able to help an animal in need.
You did absolutely everything you could. If you had given him greens and he had passed after that, you’d very likely be wondering if maybe the greens were the cause of his demise. Good, concientious…[Read more]

Sonn replied to the topic Had to move our bunnies into temporary foster, my landlord is awful 🙁 in the forum THE LOUNGE 4 years, 8 months ago
I am so sorry you are going through this! I too have an insane landlord (not literally) but luckily she was terrible at writing a lease and court sided with me and now she is not allowed near my house for any reason without a 30 day notice or me personally asking her in writing to come here.
I can’t wait until you get your babies back!

MelM replied to the topic Litter: how much Wood Stove Pellets do you use? in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 4 years, 8 months ago
Very interesting, thanks!
I too add a little more the second day. I think I’ll try starting with more than just the one layer and see if that works out better. I played around with different sized boxes. I found that with a larger box, he loved to move the hay around and it got soiled very easily which led to a lot more waste. I’m not sure I’ll…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Litter: how much Wood Stove Pellets do you use? in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 4 years, 8 months ago
The amount of litter used a lot of time is contingent on how often the owner is willing to change the box, in addition to the size of the litterbox relative to the rabbit’s pee-volume-capacity. I also only use a single layer and change soiled litter out daily.
I know some people actually pre-wet their pine pellets to get it partially pelleted and…[Read more]

Hi there! I’ve been using a single layer of wood stove pellets in our lil guy’s litter box and I change it every other day or so. I notice that some people use a lot more wood pellets, an amount that compares to that of a cat’s litter box. Would love to know how much you use and why…?
My bun spends a good amount of time eating in his litter box…[Read more]

Aww look at those cuties! I think I’d like to have a Californian at some point.. Seems like all is going well with the temporary foster. I get being paranoid, and that was BJs partner? I think BJ will be OK while there though… Not much longer now!
Sorry that you had to go through a loss on a holiday. That would be especially hard.

Yes, both are fixed.
I am also well aware of the bonding process and steps. I have trouble in the beginning with my last pair, but they worked out great!

Hi!
I have a female lionhead who will be spayed very soon. I would like to get her a friend as I think it would make her happier. My understanding is that its best to find a male for her…is that correct? Also, should a friend be similar in size and age to her or does that matter, in your experience? She free roams so cage size isn’t an issue.…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Advice Needed – Headwars and Bunny Flops in the forum BONDING 4 years, 8 months ago
It sounds like they are doing great! Good job!
As long as the chasing is him trying to mount (his ears forwards, not pinned back)I would observe the mounting attempts and chasing, and see what happens if you don’t intervene (especially during your longer sessions). Of course intervene if it starts to turn to circling. Mounting is pretty normal in…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Thoughts on lethargy in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 8 months ago
What time of day is does she get her roaming time? I noticed Bonnie seems really inactive during the day, and at first I attributed it to her also being in the shelter for a long time and not being used to running around. Then I started letting her out overnight, and found her zooming around the room at 4 am!
All of that said, I can imagine…[Read more]

It does sound like he has a lot of gas. Its good if you can get jim to move around a bit, but definitely do not chase him. Keep giving him the baby gas drops. Also try to elevate his butt like LBJ suggested.
He really needs vet care. A vet could give him sub q fluids and pain meds.

So its been a while but we are at a point where I am in the home stretch, at lest I hope. I had a bit of a set back on Thanksgiving weekend to rushing it and my boy got territorial over the space and was keeping Violet away from everything(litter box mainly) and she was hiding from him so I separated and went back a few steps. I went back to the…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Thoughts on lethargy in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 8 months ago
A vet visit where you express your concerns and observations is always good — it’s very possible for an underlying condition to be causing inability to gain/maintain healthy weight and lethargy. I will leave diagnostic interpretations to the professionals!
Medical illness aside, some rabbits are a bit lazier than others, and there are anecdotal…[Read more]

Hello!
As some of you may know I have recently adopted a rescue lion head Bella, 4yr old spayed female and we are currently bonding her with my OG lionhead Glenn.
I am starting to become a little worried about her lack of exercise.
For a quick bit of background, the rescue said they think she was kept her whole life in a hutch without a pen…[Read more]

Thanks mate I would try to give it push the only thing weakens me is every time I try to massage him he press his tummy harder. His pressing his tummy like he put his back leg lower imagine an injure dog on his back legs.

Thank you for the update! There really is something so healing about welcoming a new bun into your home, especially when they are so spunky!
I’m sure she will take good care of Sylvester. <3

DanaNM replied to the topic Bunny bonding problem in the forum BONDING 4 years, 8 months ago
So, odds are high that it will work out if you are willing to put some time in. There are rare instances of bunnies that just hate each other or don’t like other rabbits, but this is pretty rare. There was a large survey done by the UK rabbit welfare association that found that around 95% of attempted pairings between male and female buns…[Read more]
