Thank you. She’s pretty small, she weighs about 2.3 lbs. Attached another picture that shows the size of her ears better. https://imglink.cc/i/HuZAhkBTi2

I think Insta stories only show for a limited time, so I couldn’t find it. You can email me pics of your bun and I’ll put them up in your thread. I’ll send you a DM with instructions! (Bam, moderator)

I’m so sorry to hear about Biscuits! Its amazing how one bunny can change the whole dynamic of the household (both for the good and the worse, although I’m glad he was a good anchor for everyone else). I hope your home will eventually find a rhythm again as you all work through the loss.…

She is beautiful! I love her markings. Her ears and head shape don’t quite seem like a Nethie, but she could be mixed if she is on the smaller side. 🙂

I can’t seem to attach photos here but I posted a story on my Instagram @lanathelop

I’ve never seen anything like this before but this is my second bunny, a new addition to the family, he’s 5 months old and recently I noticed his nose has got cracks. He doesn’t seem to have that anywhere else, and my other bun is unaffected. He’s not scratching out of the ordinary though he…

She appears to be Vienna marked, which is a different gene than the Dutch gene but can create Dutch-like markings and blue eyes. Not sure on the breed, but she doesn’t look like a Nethie. Probably a mix of some kind. How big is she?
-
Is she Dutch, Netherland dwarf or mixed? https://binkybunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/Screenshot_20260410_172036_Chrome-1-300×296.jpg

I’m very sorry for your loss– your options were limited and there was no option that doesn’t leave sadness. I hope you find comfort in knowing Biscuits is binkying pain-free across the rainbow bridge. As for Hopper, rabbits will grieve in their own way. As long as she’s still eating and has energy, that’s the…

Yeah, the original plan was a trio, but the house had been stable for a while, we were considering just keeping the new status quo. Hopper really hates Bubblegum, our old black and white cat, but when she had Biscuits, she didn’t act out on that hatred, she tolerated him wandering through the living room.…
-
That’s true! It’s a challenge and requires daily monitoring. I feel somewhat relieved, in a way, knowing that her not-so-low weight is actually a reflection of the megacolon and not some unknown or untreated illness hahaha. The good thing is that she’s not a picky eater and will eat hay like a horse XD
-
I don’t have a megacolon bunny. But I do know that it can be hard to keep weight on these bunnies or get them to gain weight. The problem is a lot of the typical things people do to encourage weight gain in, say, elderly bunnies does not work for megacolon bunnies because it can…
-
Hi! Is there anyone else here with a rabbit that has megacolon? My princess was diagnosed with megacolon last year, and since then she’s gone through several treatments until things stabilized, including preventive treatments like taking domperidone every day. What I find strange is that, since the diagnosis, it seems like she doesn’t gain weight…
-
I’m so very sorry, RetroSquid. It’s a horrible decision to have to make, but there was no good option. Hopper is probably “just” reacting. It’s good that she’s binkying even if, as LBJ says, it’s not always a sign of happiness. Physical “exercise” relieves stress. She’s dealing in her own rabbit way. It can take…

You’ve really have a rough time with things the last year(?) or so. It never gets easier losing a bunny. Non-bunny people don’t understand the bond you can form with them. We were talking about this is another thread. I remember you had originally wanted a trio. Did that every happen? Could Hopper go back…
-
Yeah, no matter when it happened, there wasn’t really anything we could do. An experimental procedure that, so far, had a 100% failure rate wasn’t really an option. Honestly, I think I’m still in shock. He was such a friendly, gentle, loving wee boy and… Now he’s just gone… Hopper, his companion, has…

RetroSquid – I’m so sorry, I don’t know how this one slipped through the cracks. I didn’t see it until now. 🙁 We have been having issues with uploading media in general lately. There seems to be something wrong with the site. I’m very sorry to hear about Biscuits. It seems these things always happen…
-
I only ever seem to make it back here when things are the absolute worst. I tried uploading pictures but the site isn’t playing well with my phone. I uploaded some in the lounge, I think, when Biscuits came to us 6 months ago. After a rough morning of presumed GI Stasis, doing all the…

Wow, I’m glad you got some answers! Poor Nellie, I’m sure the injury has just finally caught up with her. :/
-
Thanks for your reply! So incase anyone is wondering my exotics told me they are fine to give together but work better when spread out. Also things with Nellie have changed quite significantly since this post! She finally got a referral to a full exotics specialist hospital and the doctor was amazing! She had yet…
