kritterzzz started the topic Would my dog get along with a rabbit? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 9 months ago
Recently, I’ve been doing a bit of research on caring for rabbits. Overall, other than having divorced parents (I would use a pet carrier and find an adult rabbit who is used to traveling), there is one major issue. My dog. I’m extremely unsure whether even having a rabbit in the house would be a good idea. You see, she’s a purebred hunting dog…[Read more]

Did a session for a couple hours but Casper after a couple hours started buzzing, circling and mounting Pumpkin like a mating dance. What’s going on?

Thank you for this very detailed report. It must look horrible, but its for good reasons. You have the best vets. Rabbits as a species are “primitive” in that their first line of defense is to wall off infections, i e form abscesses. Their pus is thick and wont drain through a tube, which is why the wound isnt closed. (I know you know this, but in…[Read more]

Dana is right. I know it’s shocking to see, but leaving the wound open like that is not unusual. It does sound like the procedure went well, so that’s good news. The opioid is probably making her sleepy and that’s OK. After a few days, hopefully she will start to perk up again.

Hi Dana,
Thanks for the reply. We really hope that the behavior stops but I really feel bad if I close the door and keep them in the other room to sleep while we sleep in the other.
Thanks regarding about the picture it’s one of those rare ones, I’ve never seen Chestnut do that before and He held it like that for 10 minutes at least and I was…[Read more]

I am homeschooled so they get about 5-6 hours out of their cage a day. I will try and post a pic but if their cage later. I only can do a trio. I never knew that it could break up my two bunny bond up though. Does that happen often?

DanaNM replied to the topic Enough cage space in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 4 years, 9 months ago
It kind of depends on how much time out of the cage they get, and what their dynamic is like. My feeling is that it’s on the small side for 3 though. It’s also really important to plan for a trio to not work out. So would you be OK with having a pair and a single? Or worst case, the current bond breaking and having 3 single bunnies? The bonding…[Read more]

It must be very hard to see her that way, but it is really really good news that she’s eating a bit on her own! My dental abscess bun also looked really shocking when he came home. 🙁
I’m sure the pain meds (esp the opiod) on top of everything are making her a bit out of it. Overall it does sound like things went well, hopefully she starts…[Read more]

My buns are all molting right now and it just got cold! So I think they can all be on sort of different timings.

Okay I’ll definitely look into some ointment for her. That’s for the clarification. And thank you for the Etsy suggestion!! I didn’t even think to look there but I found one that looks promising. Much easier than buying a sock and trying to tape it myself. 😛

LBJ10 replied to the topic Hock sore problems in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 9 months ago
Ointment can also help prevent the callus from cracking, so I don’t think it hurts to apply it. Keep the area moisturized might help some. But yes, your vet is correct that you need to reduce the pressure. This is where most of the problem lies. Definitely give the memory foam bath mats a try.
You can find boots for sore hocks online (Etsy,…[Read more]

I currently have two bunnies. They live in a 5 by 2 C&C cage and a 3 by 2 second level, the first level is 19.84 square feet and second level is 7.93 square feet. I found myself on petfinder and found one of my bunnies siblings. He has been there for 6 months longer than Ollie ( his brother ). Would there be enough room for 3 bunnies if I were…[Read more]

Laurenf replied to the topic Hock sore problems in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 9 months ago
To be honest the gym mats are still pretty hard but definitely softer than hard wood flooring. But not much give. I just got out of the store with some memory foam bath mats and more fleece blankets so I’m going to line the cage trays with the mats, with the double layered fleece blanket over it.
I should have be putting some more thought into h…[Read more]

I have gotten bags of hay that I think tastes “stale”. But I agree, unless it’s moldy then it isn’t bad necessarily.
