  • Considering the age, I agree discussions around pain/joint-relief medications is beneficial. Even without a surgical hx, an 11yo rabbit is bound to have relatively normative, age-related arthritic and joint discomfort. I have two senior rabbits– one is a 3lb netherland dwarf, and the other is a 7-8lb mix of -generic rabbit who knows-. The netherland…
  • This sounds very much like my bunny very late in his life. He started getting weak in the back end. We finally settled on it being pain-related (arthritis) and pain management helped a lot.

    I agree. What you’re describing sounds more like something is going on in the sinuses. Tooth roots invading the sinus cavity can lead to chronic bacteria buildup, blocked tear ducts, ear infections, etc.

    Sorry to hear about these issues. Is your vet an exotics/rabbit specialist? They should be able to offer better diagnosis. It could potentially be a number of things but I’ve often heard these issues being linked to tear duct blockages, allergies and dental abscess or tooth root problems, which aren’t the same as over grown…
  • My 11-year-old bunny boy has been having increasingly problems with his hindquarters. Since a week or so he sometimes falls to the side and cannot get back up by himself; he ends up sitting with his legs to one side until I help him up. His hips feel unstable. I am very sure that it’s…

    <p class=”p1″>Hello, my bunny has been having problems with weepy eyes since late 2024. He’s an 8 year old neutered lop. He had an annual exam and the vet didn’t think much of it in december 2024, I didn’t either. I assumed it was because of pollen or saharan dust. In autumn 2025 his eyes…
  • Sorry to hear you had a set back, it’s does sound like they are doing okay but they may not be fully bonded yet, sometimes it can a take a little time in this phase for them to become properly comfortable and trust eachother but what you have suggested sounds to me like they are…
  • Oh no! That’s no good. :\ What about having 2 litter boxes?
  • Update: I spoke too soon… 😔 We moved Pekoe and Lottie out to their final living space (living room) and expanded every 24 hours until they had half of our living room. I thought they were doing so well that I gave them the other half of the living room too and that, in combination…

    I’m very hsppy to hear they’re in good health and that you had them checked out!

    W&F had already answered your question, but I just wanted to say hello! Its good to see you. 🙂 Hope you have been well!

    We went to a Exotics practice and saw a bunny specialist due to needing a new vaccination that we could not source from our regular rabbit savvy vet. A full thorough health check was carried out and the verdict was we have two healthy bunnies doing great for their age! I will obviously keep an…

    It’s very sweet of you to help out! https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/healthy-diet/ You can find a comprehensive list at the link above. The RABBIT INFO section of our site also has plenty of valuable information for new rabbit owners! Remember any new food should be introduced slowly, even if it is rabbit-safe. Their stomachs need time to adjust…

    I’m having trouble finding safe foods. Veg fruit herbs for bunnies. My friend just got a sweet bunny around 3 years neutered. She hasn’t had a bunny in years. Needs to know bun safe foods. Thank you

    Yes, definitely let us know! How aggressive you want to be depends on a lot of factors. You definitely want to take their age and overall health, as well as how easily stressed they are into consideration. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to, say, try some antibiotics just to see if there is improvement (as opposed…

    He’s be his normal self the last 24 hr aside from a very light snore while he was fast asleep that I noticed once today – I wonder if he could also be developing a bit of a snore, anyone noticed this in their buns before? We have actually had a new type of hay…

    Hello! Glad to see you. 🙂 It could be allergies, but I would definitely rule other things out before coming to that conclusion. URIs can present in different ways and they can become more likely as a bunny ages simply because their immune system isn’t as good as it once was. If it is the…

    Hey! Good to see you and glad the buns are generally doing well! I’m wondering if the type of hay could have anything to do with it. Like if you have changed brands or something? I know some are more dusty/crumbly than others. I know different cuttings of Timothy hay have different dust levels as…
  • Hi! Glad to hear your bunnies seem to be bonding nicely. Just an anecdote of encouragement – when I bonded my long term boy to my most recent rescue girl, for the first year they cuddled and showed one sided grooming, after a year (and 3 years later) they now both groom each other and…
