Activity

Hmm… I don’t know if the glucose means anything. You will see a rise in blood sugar when a rabbit is stressed. But… perhaps he had some sort of endocrine disorder?

Thanks for the reply!

I didn’t mean it was bad that she follows me around when I come home, I just feel bad thinking she must have been lonely since I’m always around. I wish I got her a friend when she was a baby but after all her medical bills and issues, I don’t think I’ll ever be getting another rabbit.

As for the pet hotel, I’m wor…[Read more]

Some data would be helpful, in terms of what weights you’re actually getting. Especially if not weighing at the same time of day/around same times relative to food presentation, the presence of food and poop in the GI system can actually impact weight a bit.

I dont think Ive ever noticed the temp on my buns’ faces, but their tongues tend to be very warm when they lick ones’ hands. A fever in a rabbit would most likely make the bun less interested in food though, so its of course great that she is eating and pooping.

At 2 years, a bun tends to become “mature” in the sense that they rest more and binky…[Read more]

How old is she? And can you describe her full diet in detail?

There are a lot of vets in Southern CA that have the vaccine thankfully! Not sure if you are in the LA area, but basically all of the VCA hospitals had it last I check, so that could be a good starting point.

Californa is the worst for RVH2 right now. The vaccine should be available there. 40 is too cold for rabbits, anything under 55, and anything over 70 for long periods of time, which would be in this case. Outside is not okay for rabbits. Demosice rabbits are d=very different that wild rabbits are should be housed inside only, they can be brought…[Read more]

It was her whole face, she loves being petted anywhere on her face, but the rest of her body, she will kill you if you touch it… unless you are a little kid because I trained her very well with them. She only 2 turned to late July, early august, would it be the reason for her energy level? The only floor change was a few months ago and it…[Read more]

As all the others have already said, hot ears dont mean much, if anything. Very cold ears in a lethargic bun that refuses to eat can be an indication of hypothermia though. It’s good to acquaint yourself with how your bun’s ears feel so you get a sense of what is normal for her and how the ear temp various over they day and with her activity…[Read more]

Maybe you could put it on a table? I know that some people with guinea pigs put their c&c cages on a table. You might need two tables though. If you find a adjustable table you could adjusted when your dog is in their so it is higher and when your dog isn’t then you could put it more at your level.

Has to be outside do to my dogs, the hutch will be under an 6-8 foot siding where I BBQ. I will be converting that area and the runway area of my backyard to a “rabbit zone” lol. He comes in at nights in his cage for now until I get the hutch built.

Not many if any mosquitos or nats right now do to weather cooling down, gets into the 40’s, but I…[Read more]

Was it her ears that were hot? Some rabbits will have warmer ears at times they are more relaxed. See here for information re: warm weather/heat stroke concerns so you are alert to signs and what to do: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Hot_weather_concerns

Young rabbits tend to be more energetic– all that baby energy. Has there been a change in…[Read more]

Wow! That’s giant! Although I would be careful outside. I know he used to be outside but if he doesn’t already have RHV2 then he could still get it. I don’t know how bad it is spreading where you are but I personally don’t let my bunnies outside even though the nearest case is 5 and a half hours away and isn’t even in the same state. Better safe…[Read more]

No, I always watch them because they cause too much trouble. She rarely ever runs around maybe 2 for a few seconds every month, she used to go on and on running around every day. Her spay was around 4 months ago I would guess, sorry I can’t remember exactly when.

Oh my gosh @KaterH , so cute!… I’m surprised you can tell them apart, haha.

Thanks for the response, I hope he is happier then being outside. Hopefully he fully warms up to me in about a month.  The hutch I got him isn’t huge but it also isn’t small by any means. It is 78.7 long x 20.5 wide x 33.5 tall in inches. Ive seen the crazy condo things, expensive but cool. Would have built my own if I had the time haha. This is…[Read more]
