Have you tried petting them when they are near each other?

Is the new bunny spayed? If not, then you should pause sessions until after she’s spayed and her hormones have settled. If she is still truly a baby, that could also explain why she is just running away and intimidated by the other rabbits.

I think the bathtub sounds like a good plan. I wouldn’t open the cage though, that sounds like a recipe for disaster! They can be perfectly friendly through a barrier but then all heck breaks loose when that barrier is gone.

I tend to intervene more often and more quickly in the early dates, just to make sure to start things off on a good foot.…[Read more]

You could perhaps try giving her a probiotic (f ex benebac) to help her build a sturdy and diverse gut microbiota. Young rabbits may not have a sturdy and diverse population of all the various beneficial bacteria and yeasts that help the bun break down its food and take up the nutrients. This can happen if the bun was taken from the mother early…[Read more]

She is tiny but she has a huge personality!

Thank you for the advice! I’ll call the vet and talk to him. I’m just very worried about her. I’ve been giving her simethicone and massaging her belly. She’s ok for a bit, she eats like an adult bunny but then she gets gassy again and she presses her tummy to the floor. She doesn’t grind her teeth as…[Read more]

Oh, so shes so young and so very tiny! The vet seems to have put quite some thought into this, and I’d not change it without consulting that vet. He mustve had good reasons for describing such a tiny dose.

In case you think she’s bothered by gas, you could give her 0.5 ml simethicone baby gas drops. Its not taken up by the body, it only works…[Read more]

I got it from an emergency vet on sunday because I had to take her in. I was supposed to start giving it to her after I speak to my vet in Monday. The dosage was originally 0,6ml from what I’m seeing, twice daily but he changed it to 0,1ml because she’s only 16 weeks old and she only weights 500 grams. He actually said it  not to give more than…[Read more]

That should say just a spat, not just a spay, stupid auto correct.

Hey everyone, I’m P.

I’m in a similar situation to Bunbuns.

I adopted a male bunny after seeing a post saying that his owner loved him, but she no longer had the space/time for him after a couple months, and that she would send him to a shelter is he wasn’t adopted. I adopted him to provide the little on with a loving home. Everything was…[Read more]

I was very nervous about getting my bunny spayed but I did it because the risk of getting cancer and dying from it was more than the risk of dying when getting spayed. 60 % of unspayed female rabbits get it over the age of 3 and 80 % by the time they are 6. Of course, there is always a chance of them not getting it but it is very unlikely. I don’t…[Read more]

It seems like a very low dose. 0.1 ml ×0.5 mg/ml loxicom gives a dose of 0.05 mg meloxicam.

Normal dose for a rabbit is 0.3-06 mg meloxicam (the active substance in loxicom) per kilo body weight. For severe pain you can give up to 1.5 mg per kilo body weight and day.

Perhaps the pharmacy might  h…[Read more]

The dosage us 0.1ml twice daily. I got it mixed up.

I guess I’ll give it a try in the near future..  with the fifth session in trying to take steps back and reducing time they spent near each other hasn’t really made a difference.. neither does changing locations.. they do the same thing.. nipping, biting, scuffles, chasing.. there was Shadow trying to hump that could’ve lead to improvements but I…[Read more]

As LBJ says, rabbits can grunt. I had a very vocal bun who would grunt if displeased.

Oh yes, apples seem to be all the rage. Isn’t that weird?
