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.
You may have received a 2-factor authentication (2FA) email from us on 4/21/2020. That was from us, but was premature as the login was not working at that time.

I’m so sorry to read this. It is extra unfair when they go so young. I hope his brother, you and your daughter will be ok. Binky free, Bear 💔

My bunny Bear passed away today 😢 he was 3 years old on April 8th. His brother doesn’t know what to do and I feel so bad for him as they have been together since they were born. my daughter and I are devastated.

Please note that we can’t give veterinary advice here. We are not vets. If you feel at all uncertain about the dosage, please contact your vet and ask. Not all vets recommend treatment for pinworms in rabbits. Pinworms are not considered a health threat to the rabbit. My vet says she treats, because it doesnt…

Hi everyone, I rescued 2 baby holland lops from a farm when they were 8 weeks old and recently found out that they have pinworms in their poop! they are both 5 months now and recently spayed and neutered. When i took them to the vet, I specifically told the vet that they have pinworms…
-
I agree with everyone else’s responses — waiting until this weekend would likely be fine unless you notice your rabbit stops eating or there are other emergency signs beyond the scabs themselves.
-
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I had to make the hard decision to euthanize Mr. Bunny yesterday as he was sick for a while and nothing was working. On Friday he developed a head tilt and by Sunday he was paralyzed from E. Cuniculi. The poor thing was contorted and we left him…
-
I took him to the vet yesterday morning and they took new x-rays and she still didn’t see anything really concerning. He apparently may have just strained his leg/legs jumping out of a higher litterbox I had that I will no longer be using (it’s really low in the front but he insisted on jumping…
-
Yes, atypical syphilis (which is more common than previously thought) can present as sores around the nose and mouth. Unless your bunny was partaking in some “spicy” hay (aka power cords)… it’s possible this could be a burn too.
-
There’s not a lot you can do unless you happen to have some meloxicam (metacam, loxicom and other brand names) on hand. Do you think another bun could have injured him? If so, separate the buns for now. Is your bun eating and drinking and pooping like normal? If not, you should try to get…
-
Well done, cutting her nails all by yourself! Don’t be to hard on yourself, I’m sure she’s perfectly fine.
-
I was giving my bunny pets this evening and noticed these sores/cuts on his mouth. We’re planning to take him to the vet this weekend but is that too long? Is there anything to help him feel better in the meantime?
-
Haha! Yeah, they were probably able to get cheap rent because the mall was trying to fill empty space. I wouldn’t take that as a red flag, necessarily. More important is their operation and how they care for the bunnies.
-
Bunnies do go through an adolescence phase. It would be more pronounced if she was unspayed, but even spayed/neutered bunnies will try to test boundaries when they are young and energetic. The changing light can also cause them to produce sex hormones through their adrenal glands, which leads to what we call “March Madness”. It…
-
Aww, I’m sure she will be fine. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the nail trimmings, especially if you’re relying on someone to help you.
-
Yeah, it’s so hard to see them when they can’t hold themselves up. Sometimes the arthritis will lead to degeneration of the spine, as Bam mentioned. Or it can be EC sneaking in. Or it can be both.
-
I knew nails were overdue, but it didn’t look too bad. With my health issues, I get behind on a lot of things. Was going to have the goat farrier help again and forgot when she was here. Then I noticed Boo was not feeling well. Even though she HATES being touched, I managed to…
-
Hi we adopted her already spayed by the MSPCA, we confirmed with the vet too. She only goes for hands. It’s new behavior. Her room set up is her xpen in the middle in a square then some room for her to run around it and on the out skirts around the room wall is…
-
Malls probably have lots of empty spaces these days, so I don’t think it’s weird at all. It actually sounds like a great idea because the rescue would have lots of visibility. No harm in checking it out!
-
Ugh that’s so hard to see. I agree with Bam this could be an EC flare-up, this really sounds like what Bun Jovi went through (EC combined with arthritis). I also can’t recall if he was on stronger pain meds than meloxicam, but tramadol really helped Bun Jovi as well.

Oh I’m sorry for your loss. He sounded like quite a character! Binky Free, Snoopy Bun
