Rabbits are very picky eaters. One thing I was taught in college while getting my Animal Science degree is to smell the hay. If it smells sweet rabbits tend to like it. A lot of time you just need to fluff it and add some toppers to encourage them to eat it.

awwh thank you so much!!

I was reading your original post and immediately thought it could be EC as well. I’m glad to hear you’re going to give the treatment a try. I hope it helps!

It depends on the mites. Some can live in the environment for a little while, some don’t do so well. The first step is to treat her with the appropriate treatment, which is usually ivermectin or Revolution… but it effectiveness can vary depending on the type of mite.

PSA: Just a remind not to use anything with fipronil. It’s toxic to rabbits.

It would depend on the pellets. I’m not familiar with these. But what you have pictured seems like a good rationed amount. Honestly, I would not be overly worried if you see a cecotrope here and there. The look perfectly normal. Perhaps she has a 5 second rule for if it lands on the ground? LOL  I’m kidding. Bunnies sometimes just leave them for…[Read more]

He has made almost a full recovery!! I am. So happy whatever they gave him helped!! I also gave him a vitamin e capsule so maybe that was what did it but he is already back to himself 🙂

Yes, it sounds like they were suspecting EC, which is much more common. I would be curious to see what meds they prescribed.

For how long would you recommend to remove one type of green? Like a week?

Aw my bunny loves the hay, i even think she is eating too much of it. She is eating it literally always haha.

This is the amount of pellets she gets twice a day morning/evening. These are science selective rabbit food for adult. Is it okay? Can you tell from the…[Read more]

Its not alarming, sonce theyre so nicely shaped. Its not nice if she steps in them of course, becausse they will stick to her feet if she does.

Lots of things can change the microbial balance in the cecum slightly, but with nicely shaped cecos like these Id not worry too much.

You can try and tweak her diet, f ex by  removing one type of green…[Read more]

I think adding some hides and things is a good idea. If you can set up their pen as a home-base in an area farthest from the door, and then have some hides and ‘safe’ spots there, I think that would be good. You could even hang a towel or blanket on one side of the pen so the bun doesn’t feel so exposed on all sides.

I created a new topic for you: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/dealing-with-mites-for-bunbaby3/

To my knowledge… but I can help you start a topic on it if you’d like more feedback! Others might have other thoughts

you think soo?! so i’ll just need to make sure everything is overall just cleaned off everyday (even though thats usually done regardless (: ) until treatments done

My bun is already an adult. She is one year old.

But that’s the thing, she eats plenty of hay, greens twice a day and limited amount of pellets. Her other droppings are completely normal. She eats her cecotropes just not these ones which she leaves once a day every evening.

Could this be even from greens?

Because it happened suddenly, I haven’t…[Read more]
