I’m sorry. It sounds like it’s wise to wait! It could be about hydration. If your vet thinks it’s a bad idea, it is a bad idea.

It is a common procedure to put a catheter in the ear for longer surgeries and/or if the bun is older or poorly. It gives the opportunity to give fluids iv during surgery and also to reverse the anesthesia in case sth…[Read more]

I’ve done my research and I’ve always thought pine shavings are harmful and toxic for bunnies, since it can cause liver damage. It’s not absorbent at all, anyway. Woodstove pellets crumble as soon as they get soiled, and then it sticks to the bottom of the litterbox. That’s why I just used to use a charcoal puppy pad and hay. I only had to change…[Read more]

Forgot to update, the issue with our landlord and the buns has been resolved. The impression I get is that the property manager stuffed up, the landlord was annoyed to discover the buns living inside, so the property manager tried to make it our fault. A meeting between the landlord and owner of the agency had everything resolved fortunately. No…[Read more]

thank you!! i was nervous about that scent that it gave off so i was being paranoid once again but you guys have reassured me its fine so again thank you(:

(agaainn sorry for the very late response I’ve been so occupied with school work, bunbear and work in general !)

thank you! The problem with the shavings releasing phenols continuously because of changing the litter often does make sense (:

I’ve built her little little box and hay feeder area out out the wood and she seemed fine like you guys all suggested by the way so thank you! I’ve been in college so I’ve been super busy with that I haven’t been on here! Unfortunately I’ve came up with a problem, it wouldnt let me create a new topic so hopefully someone can help me out again!…[Read more]

Thanks everyone!

And yes, for any of your renters out there, read lease agreements carefully and trust your spidey sense, even if you’re desperate to find a place like we were. When in doubt, have an attorney read over it before you sign anything!

Agree with LBJ10, we’re all so happy to help! Teddy is certainly a gift!

Yes, it’s only temporary! I know it seems like a long time, but things will be OK. And I’m sure Cooper will get over it… although I know it’s hard when they are accustomed to certain things and then that has to change suddenly.

Thank you. I’m going to speak with our vet to see if this is a good option for him. He just had a thorough vet check in October but we didn’t really talk about arthritis or pain management. I’m also using washable mats and swapping it out when it gets soiled. He seems to go on it now so it’s not getting on the floor.

I glad we have been of help. We all love Teddy. 🙂

Ohh it looks like my phone isn’t letting me reply to specific comments correctly:(

I guess we will wait to bond them. A bummer since we now can’t get her fixed until January

Thanks for the tips, and thanks for keeping up here considering all the landlord stuff :/ I’m sure as they get bored and more active there could be some steps backwards but I’m hopeful we can have a successful marathon.

A short report, I’m with them getting ready to wrap up a shorter session and for once they didn’t reset! I have not had to…[Read more]

I will definitely give the cat scratchers a try! I never thought of getting her any. I’m going to put them inside the boxes as it’s shown in the videos below hopefully that will catch her attention. Thank you so much for the ideas.

I will definitely get some cat scratchers! I’ve never thought of buying her any. Thank you!

It may reduce when she’s spayed, but indeed, if she has now discovered the glory of carpet digging, it is likely something you’ll want to learn how to effectively redirect. Carpet diggers, baseboard chewers, etc. seem to be fans of “anchored” toys, in my experience, so things held down, tied down, or large so they can really tug and get into…[Read more]

Did they try different paws? I would recommend another try and not attempting bonding while she’s intact — while unfortunately that the timeline is pushed, it really is the safest and most assured method to increase your chance of success.

Do try some cardboard cat scratchers too! My carpet digger really liked them and they helped save my carpet.

Maybe she did just find out that the carpet is fun 😫, because prior to this she never did any of that. She would chew on stuff here and there but I’ve always provided her with plenty of toys so it was never an issue. I’m going to head out in a bit to buy several tiles. To at least cover the edges of the carpet. I do have a big cardboard box for…[Read more]
