I’d contact the vet. They could perhaps give him a tiny bit of painkiller just to help him relax. I just attended a webinar by an experienced rabbit vet, where she explained that a single dose of an opioid painkiller sometimes makes a huge difference in tummy-cases.

I don’t suspect a blockage either, since he is pooping. It’s great that he is…[Read more]

Thank you again. I actually tried simethicone and it did nothing from what I observed. His stomach looks bloated and fat and I see him laying in weird positions. It feels like whatever he eats passed straight through so there is no blockage.

Ok, he’s still a baby! Then it’s unlikely to be his teeth.

If he eats less hay that explains the smaller poops. It’s xcellent that he does poop though.

With a very young bun I’d contact the vet again and describe the problem. If a very young bun gets a stomach issue it can become acute fast.

Meanwhile you can give baby gas drops (simethicone),…[Read more]

Thank you for your reply. He is eating a lot less hay now. Prior to this he was an excellent hay eater. He does poop but it’s much smaller. The vet gave him fluids but not in IV form. No painkiller was given, he is still a baby.

Oh my seriously! Oh what a relief! Haha also I’ve started to prebond them today and so far I’ve only seen positive results..for an example:

– both of them seem to do the super bunny position and looks really comfortable!

– one of my buns tried to like my buns head!

-also is it okay if at first,one of my buns tried to lick?or nip my other buns…[Read more]

@dorian: yes, our bridge bunny Breintje was like that too: he loved to be petted and would snuggle up for hours, laying against my leg on the sofa deep into the night. It was my biggest wish to have him in my lap for once.

The strange thing was that in his last week he suddenly became a lap rabbit. He showed no signs of illness, so I didn’t worry…[Read more]

Is your bun eating any hay? Does he poop? He probably doesnt drink because hes getting wet greens -especially if he’s not eating much dry food, i e hay. Is he normally a good hay-eater?

Did your bun get fluids and a painkiller?

How old is he?

such a snuggle bun, Owen is really precious! I am hoping one day Dorian will be a lap bun as he certainly likes his pets and likes to sit on my feet, but so far no luck 😀

congratulations! They are precious!! And so strange the shelters would judge you so harshly for having a single, but very well loved bun.

I make my buns look for their food by scattering their pellets and veggies around their normal eating area. I used to feed them large chunks of vegetables, but I go through the effort and chopping them up into small cubes or short sticks. They go crazy when they hear the pellet jar or plastic bag shake. The sound of the jar or plastic bag trains…[Read more]

Nevermind sorry!! Figured out it’s just a callus 🙂

Yes I have a plastic bag full of her hair that I’ve been collecting as you suggested to me before. Amen!

I got her an appointment for tomorrow @4 so we’ll see how this goes. 🙁

My vet is finally allowing people inside so tomorrow will be my first time in. 🙂

It worked for me to use a hay rack, and hang it so she could only reach it once she was sitting in the box. It was kind of tricky to place it, but it helped a lot!

Hi there,

Yes, when you re-introduce them, assume they will not recognize each other or remember their old relationship and go from there.

And yes if you have plenty of hay (and they eat their hay well) and veggies it’s OK to skip pellets for a week!
