If you feel he isn’t losing weight after switching to the new pellets, then you can decrease the amount of pellets. If he’s getting plenty of hay, etc. then he may not need the amount listed in the feeding instructions. Also, be sure to make the switch slowly by mixing with his old ones.

I ended up switching his food to Small Pet Select pellets that says high in fiber Timothy Hay based formula. i ended up buying a pet scale on Amazon. Cocoa weighs 8.8lbs. The new pellets give weight ranges for how much to feed. for 8-10 lbs feed 1/3 – 1/2 cup. I was going to…

He’s adorable and he has the most elegant sideburns! Show rabbit pellets are typically high in protein and fat. You can cut back on pellets if you suspect that he’s a bit too chunky. Healthy young-ish rabbits practically only need good quality hay, perhaps with some pellets during molting. It’s good to weigh buns regularly…

I agree. Make sure what you’re feeding him has an appropriate nutrient balance and make sure to feed him an appropriate amount. Many rabbits do not eat a ton of pellets. If he’s getting plenty of hay and veggies, then a smaller amount of pellets would be appropriate (even if the feeding instructions suggest more).

Okay thank you 😊 maybe I’m being biased but yes he is adorable! I call him my fur baby😊 my husband and daughter think he’s very spoiled. I’ll check out the link you sent to me. I’ve been wanting to have him get a check up with his vet so I’ll give them a call

What a cute loaf! Unless a rabbit extremely, extremely obese, a single picture or description can’t reliably tell us whether a rabbit is overweight or not. Not being able to feel the spine is a good indicator of excessive fat; however, the best way to address this concern is with a rabbit vet. I’m not…

Thank you, Bam. Your comments are helpful! He seems like he may be improving a bit. We will definitely keep observing him. Thanks again.
-
I hope it’s just the ex-dew claws bohering him. Rerstricted movement in Max’s case probably doesnt mean complete cage rest, but he shouldnt jump up on or down from furniture, do binkies and zoomies. So a restricted area, but not shut in a smallish cage. It’s good for his digestion (=poop function) if he can…

Thanks for viewing the videos. Yes, those were the dew claws before the ER visit. They cut them very short.
-
I was able to view the videos and photo. He does look like his front paws are bothering him. Am I seeing his dewclaws in the still photo? It looks like something is protruding from each foot. If his dewclaws are long, then it’s possible he caught one or both on something. Them being very…
-
Thank you, LBJ10. We did take Max to the ER. While we were waiting, we noticed that his dewclaws were very long. The right one was longer than the left, and both were touching the floor. Ugh. I’m not sure how we missed them when clipping his nails, but considering their length, we clearly missed…

I’m sorry to hear Max isn’t doing well. It looks like you posted this yesterday. Were you able to take him to the vet? The first thing they are going to look for is some kind of injury to his front leg and shoulder. Only after ruling out injury would they move on to other…

<p class=”p2″>Max is 5 years old/free roam. This morning he didn’t come to the kitchen for breakfast so, we took the food to him & he ate it quickly. He tried to get into a bun but won’t bend his right leg. He tried to eat his cecotropes from the right side but couldn’t so,…

Reply To: What is this thing in my rabbit’s ear? Has anyone ever encountered this? - Bam 08/28/2026 05:18 PMI agree with auntie that earmites are very painful. They usually start deep in the ear and work their way up, so try to look down the ears with a flashlight. Ear mites typically cause thick crusts that are extremely painful to the touch. It’s not typical for fur mites either, they tend to be…

Reply To: What is this thing in my rabbit’s ear? Has anyone ever encountered this? - auntie 08/25/2026 01:15 PMBunnies are very sensitive and because of changes made in their diet or litter being used. my bunny had ear mites and he was scratching and when I would just gently pat his ear he would whimper in pain and flinch away. He also had a lot of black stuff in his ear. Have you…

Thank you for all the information! Definitely helps

The surrogate bunny has plastic beads in it. There is a warning on the site that says you may want to remove them prior to giving the surrogate to your bunny. If your bunny tends to chew up stuffed animals, then I would be cautious in giving him the surrogate that is on the BB…
-
I noticed while shopping on your store that you have a surrogate stuffed rabbit. I thought about getting it, however the only reason I did not is my 3 year old male lionhead attacks stuffed animals, he growls, and lunges at it. Is the surrogate rabbit you have in your store safe for chewing in…

Was you bun in office already being seen by vet when arrest happened? The success rates for anesthesia is ~46% in one study and theory is that when bun is already actively monitored, the success rate is much better. I think this just goes in line with how quickly a bun can deteriorate.
