He’s beautiful! He looks like the tri-color in a tri-colored Rex… but he doesn’t have the Rex fur. I agree he is probably a mix. The Rex fur type is a recessive gene, so it’s possible to have a Rex mix without the Rex fur type.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

It sounds like she was really sick. It must’ve been a slow growing form of masses.

Its not likely that her leg issue had anything to do with her death that you could have prevented.

There would have been nothing you couldve done differently. I’m glad she got a few more years with you after she was diagnosed with…[Read more]

You may even be able to line the whole closet floor with tiles, that could provide a nice flat surface for the bin hopefully would make them give up!

Welcome to BB! He looks very much like a general mix to me, but very cute none-the-less. If he’s 4.5yo and only 3.5lb, that is on the smaller end of things, so perhaps some dwarf got in there, but not a full dwarf as they don’t really get above 2.5lb. Very cute bun– hello and welcome Leo!

It sounds like there’s gastric distress. Tummy sounds can be normal on occasion– it’s just an auditory cue that gas is moving around; however, it being constant is more a signal of chronic gassy distress. It makes sense that his poo would be a bit runnier as well, considering this symptom.

Has he been eating anything unusual/different these past…[Read more]

I have not tried the fleece digging corner but I would be worried about it because my other bunny Ollie eats fleece like its banana. They have a normal cat scratcher and a spaceship cat scratcher but still prefer carpet. I can’t block it because I have a bin that goes there but they fit behind the bin (the bin can’t go anywhere else…[Read more]

Ok I will keep up stress only. That is exactly what I did last night, put them in the carrier and walked up and down the steps. It was good exercise too!  After the steps I sat them on my lap to calm down and see how they were, but they were just shaking and Ruby started leaning on the side of the carrier instead of Max :(.   I’ll do the car to…[Read more]

I’m also very sorry for your loss. 🙁

Was she spayed? I am wondering if the masses were reproductive cancer based on her age. I agree with Wick that the leg may have been a symptom of something else.

I’m so sorry for your loss, you really went through so much with Milo. 🙁

Of course I have no way of knowing was exactly happened, but Milo was dealing with a couple very serious illnesses, and my overall suspicion is that his immune system was quite weakened (possibly by the snuffles at first, or maybe even genetic causes) and that led to a…[Read more]

@GipsAndLenn Welcome to BB! This is an old thread so I’m going to lock it to avoid confusion!

Thanks for sharing @BZOO , that sounds soooo incredibly stressful!

Thankfully I’ve gotten updates that all the buns are doing well. Cooper and Bonnie were bickering a bit at first but she says they’ve calmed down now. Bun Jovi and Myra are also doing great and I’ll probably go visit them in a week or two (and bring over a bale of hay).

I am not personally a fan of the microspace method, as it tends to force the rabbits together and seems to have a lot of issues when expanding to a larger space (in my experience moderating here on the forum). Especially given your history of them, they need to be able to fully express normal behaviors to ensure that their bond is stable in a…[Read more]

I think since you are working to break a cycle of fighting, I would probably just stick to short stressing-only sessions for a couple days, before trying to do a small space session after. OR, you could do a stress-sandwich, where you walk them around in a carrier for a few minutes, do a some minutes of no stress, then a few more minutes walking…[Read more]

Not sure if I’ve said this here, but I am convinced that both buns think they are dominant in a lot of pairs, and it’s rare to find a completely submissive bun. So don’t worry about that! Try not to overthink things 😉

They sound like they are doing really well to me, because they are communicating without fighting! And they are snuggling!

I…[Read more]

Can you put a heavy ceramic tile over the problem area? That worked for me. I got the largest one I could from the hardware store and it was too big for them to move, and my bun gave up on that area.

Sorry but I had to chuckle a little at the picture with litter boxes in all corners, because I have been there!

So, they have only been bonded a week, and it can take some time for things to get back to normal. I’ve noticed with my pairs there can be an uptick in marking in the first couple weeks after bonding, almost as though they are claiming…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss.

Any rabbit who has dozens of masses does not have a good prognosis unfortunately. The leg issue was most likely a consequence from the masses, which probably interfered with the spine and nerves. Rather than masses or legs, it probably all was a natural consequence of this underlying issue; not one or another. I…[Read more]
