Sorry Sweetie is still losing muscle, unfortunately that is one of the hallmarks of megacolon. 🙁

Have you tried giving critical care without the soy protein added in? Maybe it’s the added protein that’s upsetting her stomach? You could also ask your vet about feeding extra alfalfa or switching to a young rabbit pellet. I’ve also seen megacolon…[Read more]

Have you tried any diet changes to see if it helps? For instance, while many foods are rabbit-safe, some rabbits hold sensitivities that others don’t. It could be that your rabbit’s GI is disagreeable to Sherwood pellets and/or the particular veggies you provide.

Also, hearing that it occurs 3-4 times per year makes me think of molting — if fur…[Read more]

As long as you have a quality rabbit-experienced exotic vet whom you trust to do spays, I 100% recommend having your female rabbit spayed.

Intact female rabbit reproductive systems are constantly undergoing…[Read more]

Litter trained or not, though, they are allowed to play in our basement, as long as I clean up after…[Read more]

Hi DanaNM,

It’s been a few weeks and I’ve been so busy with taking care of Sweetie, working and studying for finals that I have’t gotten the chance to check this page. Which I have to say is one of the best websites I’ve ever been a part of; there is so much support and love!!

A lot has happened since I last wrote, but all in all, Sweetie seems…[Read more]

Considering his size… I’m going to stick with a Holland mix. That would be about right since a Holland is usually less than 4lbs. But the other breed is unknown, so that can easily put them over 4lbs. The ear shape itself definitely looks lop-like to me. Plus the ears don’t stay erect, it looks like they sink to the sides a bit at rest. This…[Read more]

wow, i didnt know that my rabbit looked like holland lop 🙂 i didn’t consider it since he doesn’t have flopy ears

She’s very cute! I love her little half lopped ears 🙂
