DanaNM replied to the topic Senior bunny diet changes? (Not eating cecotropes) in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 8 months ago
So, I’m a little confused. Were the uneaten cecals when he was on hay-only? Or when you reintroduced pellets? Or when you introduced the treats?
If they were on hay-only, then I don’t think they are excess, he probably just was having a hard time reaching them. If they were when you reintroduced pellets after him being on hay only, they may have…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Free roaming and litter boxes in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 8 months ago
Since he was just neutered a week ago, and you have made a lot of changes recently, most of the poops you are seeing are probably territorial poops. A lot of times they will initially scatter poops in a new area to mark that territory. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks after neutering for hormones to drain.
Usually when rabbits have access to more…[Read more]

In the past I had asked my vet about an enema and he said they are very dangerous to do in rabbits because the wall of the colon is very thin and easily ruptured.

Hello all, I am in need of some advice. Max is about nine months old. I adopted him a month ago and he was neutered a week ago. As soon as I brought him home, we started working on litter box training. We use an extra large, enclosed cat litter box which remains in his 5×5 stay pen. I tried the hayrack but he wouldn’t eat from it. Anyways, after a…[Read more]

Hello again all!
This time I’m coming to you for some insight on my 7-8 year old bun, Theodore. He’s an older man now, and still very healthy and active, still acting like he’s three years old aside from being generally more snuggly and less inclined to jump quite as high as he once did.
I have noticed over the years that getting at his…[Read more]

I don’t think megacolon should be suspected just yet, so dont give up. Try to syringe feed him pellet mush, it could help. If he likes greens, you can give him that, you can even offer small pieces of fruit – not too much, just a little bit to help him perk up so he hopefully starts to take an interest in food again.
Hay is the best and most…[Read more]

Great idea, Ellie!
Makes me remember a less successful attempt I made when my dog was a pup and I wanted to stop her from chewing furniture. I read that vinegar will deter dogs from chewing, so I put vinegar on the legs of my wooden chairs. Only I didn’t have any plain vinegar so I used balsamico vinegar – which of course is sweet and far less…[Read more]

Since there is poop you can try syringe feeding pellet mush. That’s pellets soaked in water until they become a mush. There are no safe OTC painkillers for a bun who has an irritated gut, it could make matters much worse. Also make sure he keeps warm. It’s very dangerous if he becomes cold. If he likes sitting in your lap, your body heat will warm…[Read more]

Oh no! I’m sorry for your loss. You did everything you could. Unfortunately, emergency vet clinics do not always have people on staff that know bunnies.

oh so does that mean I should change their bonding place? normally, for the daytime session,I bonded them in my mother’s office instead of my room because both of them have never been there but for the overnight session…I held it in my room,so the problem here is probably the area in room,,,okay thank you!

Mucus means there is irritation/inflammation in the intestines. There is clearly some kind of GI upset going on. The large poops would indicate this as well. When things slow down, the poop builds up and gets smooshed together.
