OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

If this has been going on for some time, I would think the presence of mites would be more noticeable. When an infestation starts, you usually can’t see much of anything. As time goes by though, you will start to see other signs like redness, flakes, and crust. Bunnies are like people. Some people have…

Sorry for the late reply, but I’ve decided that we’re going to get her ear checked out by the vet soon. When I got her checked a while ago, they didn’t see anything and it must have been random, but whatever has been going on these past few days has actually been in the same…

I don’t know of many diseases that hedgehogs and bunnies might share. I agree with Dana that the risk is likely very low. Even if they did happen to have something that could spread to a bunny, they would have to be in the same enclosure in order to spread it. I’m thinking ringworm as…

Thank you both for your responses! I will definitely be doing the test and trying to soften her surfaces… Thank you guys again

Hmmm I’m not sure, but a quick googling and scan of some hedgehog forums(!) looks like there isn’t much risk: https://www.hedgehogcentral.com/threads/hedgies-and-bunnies.2988/ https://www.hedgehogcentral.com/threads/can-hedgehogs-spread-disease-to-rabbits.112914/ Even with guinea pigs and buns, there isn’t a terribly huge risk, you just don’t want to keep them in the same cage. Hedgehogs are pretty different from rabbits as a species, so…

Sorry for the click bait-y like title and also sorry if this doesn’t belong here. Does anyone know if hedgehogs and rabbits can get each other sick? I know rabbits have something that can get guinea pigs really sick and I know hedgehogs are a different species but still….I ask because my older sister and…

It’s a bit difficult to see on the picture, but if the skin is intact, it’s not sore hocks. But as you’re saying, it could develop into a sore hock, so it’s good you caught it! If the skin is intact, you dont need to put anything on it, creams often makes it “worse” because…

From the photos, this looks like a callus. It isn’t uncommon for rabbits to develop calluses. Nails can be a contributing factor, but the biggest culprit is flooring. The best way to tell if flooring is soft enough is to do the elbow test. Rub your elbow on it. If it feels like you’re going…

Hi, I was wondering if this small spot is the beginning of a sore hock 🙁 i feel horrible because i think it was because i pushed off her nail trim, thinking that every 2 months was okay. I’ll have to go back to monthly vet trips now 😥 is there anything i can do…

Aww! Best of luck to you and your bun! And thanks for the input! It can be hard to get a rescue out of their shell I feel but it’s so rewarding when it happens!
-
It honestly sounds like you have done a great job with them! I think just continuing to spend as much time with them as you can, but not necessarily forcing interaction that whole time, can go a long way. Floor time is really good. All buns have dif personalities, and some are happy with just…

Hi all! I’m a novice rabbit owner of two free-roamers who I adopted from a shelter when they were both around a year old. I’ve had them for over a year and we have an overall good relationship, they’re comfortable enough with me and they have a good bond with eachother. It took a long…
-
Awww that’s so hard, but thank you for rescuing him. Often the sweetest ones do get caught because they aren’t afraid of people… but it’s so sad to think of why they were abandoned in the first place (my Cooper sounds very similar to this bun). I think you are right to not try to…

I’ve been on here a while so felt like I could vent a little and you all will appreciate. I responded to a post on Nextdoor of a rabbit found outside. It was nearish my house. It sounded like they left it outside and it was a cold rainy day…. so without waiting for a…

Has this been checked out by a vet? Even though it’s intermittent I would still want to have a vet take a peek deeper in her ears to make sure there isn’t an infection or something stuck in there that’s bothering her. If she is a lop they can be prone to more ear issues…
-
One of my buns does this! I honestly can’t figure it out, but I think if you pet him during/after you could be accidentally rewarding that behavior and encouraging it. I think it can be either an attention seeking behavior, or something to do with them trying to “groom” us (“what is all this STUFF…

Reply To: Upset stomach from azithromycin & what other med for snuffles now - DanaNM 11/29/2023 01:49 PMI think this is best to discuss with your vet. Azithromycin is one of the better ones for stubborn infections but perhaps they can give you some other meds to help with the side effects?

In the past I would keep the litter box very clean, and then stalk them and wait till they are in the litter box eating. Usually a bun will make a little pile of poops and you can grab some right when they move away so you know which bun they came from. Temporarily separating…

Hi Everyone, my name is Sacha, from melbourne in Australia. i have a 5 month old male Mini Lop eared rabbit called ELVIS. I have heaps of questions, but for now, when i’m watching TV or sitting up in bed of a night and Elvis jumps on my lap, why does he bite and pull…

When you have multiple buns living together, how do you go about collecting poop samples? Do you separate them until they drop some precious gold? I can guesstimate based on size but since this is really important testing, I’d rather not guesstimate. Also, how much does one usually collect?
