Bam replied to the topic Itchy Bunny – no fleas or mites in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 9 months ago
I agree developing mites must seem puzzling, but it isnt. All rabbits have some mites in their fur, they get them from their mum when theyre kits. The buns immune defense keeps the number of mites down, and the mites dont cause the bun any trouble.
When a rabbit is under some sort of stress – not necessarily “bad” stress, it can be sth as simple…[Read more]

Susanne replied to the topic (Bonded!) Ruby and Maxwell in the forum BONDING 4 years, 9 months ago
Day 6 of stress + small space session. It was about the same as yesterday, I was petting a lot to try and break the nipping habit. There was a half cuddle for about 10 minutes. She didn’t nip until the end, when I tried to pick up Max to get him out of the ottoman, as he moved she nipped with a growl. I put him down for a sec so it didn’t end that…[Read more]

Hello everyone, I just got Max last week; he is 8 months old (unknown mix). He has an appointment in 2 weeks to get neutered. I took him to the vet yesterday because I noticed that he seemed itchy. The vet said he didn’t have fleas or mites but could be developing some so she squirted Revolution on him and told me to come back in 4 weeks for an…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic HELP bunny peeing ln my bed ;( in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 9 months ago
Unfortunately bed-peeing is a really common problem with buns. Beds are soft and smell strongly of humans, so that triggers many bunnies to pee on them.
The most effective solution is to block access to your bed with an x-pen. You could try doing this temporarily at first to see if that helps him break the habit.
Another solution that a BB…[Read more]

I used echinacea on and off with my bunny Milo on and off before he had passed on. He was dealing with ear infection, e cuniculi, and Pasteurella when he passed, he was on Metacam, fenbendazole ( he had been on and off fenbendazole a few times) baytril, doxycycline, and metoclopramide to stimulate his gut as well as a ointment for his down eye…[Read more]

Then you pretty much have to keep giving her hay. There’s no point in trying to give her more protein if it just causes GI upset.
Some buns with a stomach problem can tolerate a small amount of rolled oats and/or a few sunflower seeds per day.

I have readigrass and I tried it after she was taken off alfalfa and she doesn’t tolerate that either. She doesn’t tolerate any pellets, I tried 3 different brands including one I got from my vet. It seems she doesn’t tolerate anything with sugar or carbs in it or anything too rich.

Bam replied to the topic Changing Hay Brands in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 9 months ago
A growing bun should preferably have more protein, but if she doesn’t tolerate alfalfa hay or alfalfa-based pellets, you could perhaps try feeding her a little more pellets? Too much protein can cause stomach upset and sticky poop though, so it’s a fine balance you must strike.
Readigrass is dried fresh grass and has a higher protein content than…[Read more]

Shape can vary a little bit and still be perfectly normal. I think these look good.
