The fight just took place last three weeks and then last week,,so far they only had some wounds which thankfully isn’t that bad but the fight was bad because when the first fight encountered,they were both on each other’s neck and the fight looks like a bunny tornado!,,also whenever they are side by side,both of my bunnies will first sniff each…[Read more]

I agree with Dana. It is ultimately impossible for us to diagnose anything online with a degree of certainty, but based on what you’re describing I’m reading about a rabbit who is having slightly smaller poops at regular times (which can be very normal, especially if they are getting reduced veggies/pellets in their schedule; less input = less…[Read more]

Sometimes buns will start shredding things a lot when they are in pain. How long has it been since she’s eaten? If it’s been more than 6 hours then you should try to get her to the vet. Can you give her a tummy rub and some simethicone? She could be having an episode of gas.

DanaNM replied to the topic Cecotropes like droppings in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 9 months ago
I pinged the other moderators on this, but my feeling is that as long as her poops overall look good and her other cecals are good (and she’s eating them) it probably isn’t a cause for concern.

I appreciate your responses, very helpful info.
I am going to talk to my vet about it tomorrow. I am not giving my bunny unnecessary visit to the vet at the moment. But if it’s the teeth I might have to take him to them. My exotic vet does not work every day.

Azerane, I’m so sorry. How unfair, too.

Vicky replied to the topic Cecotropes like droppings in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 9 months ago
Yes exactly everything what you have said. She eats her cecotropes a lot as I can see. And I’m with her almost whole day.
I mean she weights 2 kilograms, i can feel her ribs, legs everything.
Hmm but do you think I should do anything if it continues for a week or more? If nothing is wrong with the behavior. I went to GI stasis with her once so I…[Read more]

I have had a bun who had the tiniest dental spurs. He chewed cardboard frantically, then he stopped eating. The vets I had back then didnt think his teeth were the problem, but after 3 weeks of critical care they decided to burr his molars. A few days after that, he was back to eating like normal again.
Licking walls and other non-soft surfaces…[Read more]

I just wanted to provide an update on Luna. Today was her 6 month ultrasound review. As usual she handled her stay at the vet like a champ (Apollo stayed home because he stresses). The vet said that there were no signs of progression of either her heart or kidney problem, which is fantastic. We just keep going with the current medication and do a…[Read more]

Thanks guys, it really has been so stressful. I just can’t believe how quickly the agent turned on us, it was so disappointing.

I assume she is still eating? Is she spayed? If she isn’t spayed and a male is around, she could be having a false pregnancy. Assuming, of course, he has not had any physical contact with her (including being able to touch through the bars).

I have an 8 month old female rabbit who as of just last night started to destroy her cage shredding everything in it. She has also stopped eating as much as she usually does. She usually cant wait for me to feed her but she barely has touched her food. She has always been a moody girl as female rabbits are but her behavior is worrying me. I do…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding Journey-HELP Needed! in the forum BONDING 4 years, 9 months ago
Firstly, don’t feel guilty at all about anything! I have been through the ringer matching up my various buns over the years and also dealing with chronically ill buns (including one that I was fostering to try to bond). I know it can be so heart breaking to return a bun after a failed attempt.
I wouldn’t have advised to try to bond with a…[Read more]

Personally, this falls under the “keep an eye on it” category for me, given her diet has gone through some changes lately, as long as her appetite for hay is good, she’s eating and producing normal cecals, and the cecals she’s leaving look healthy in general.
Sometimes overweight buns or buns with arthritis have trouble reaching their cecals so…[Read more]

Chewing on hard things can sometimes be associated with pain, weirdly enough, and can happen even when there is a molar issue. Chewing on wood and other hard surfaces uses just the front teeth, but chewing long strands of hay requires side to side chewing motion with the molars. I had one bunny would would become obsessed with digging and chewing…[Read more]
