Hi there! I am fostering a large (10 lb-er) Californian bun named Chipotle. He's a good-natured fellow; constantly hungry, curious, enjoys his nose rubs and ear massages. I'm enjoying my time with him. However, lately I've had a lot of things going on in my life and regretfully, I've been...

So I caved yesterday and just gave him a few giant handfuls of pellets (I'm guessing about 1 cup total for the day). For the first time since I've had him, he seemed satiated! I wonder if, due to his size (must be around 10 pounds) he simply needs more nutrition. His poopies looked more crumbly...

I recently started fostering a 1 year old gigantic Californian bun named Chipotle, and though he has a face only a mother (aka me) could love, his personality more than makes up for it. He's been loads of fun. There is one thing that concerns me though. He acts hungry ALL THE TIME. Not just...

Thank you! Yes, I figured with the Critical Care + quite a lot of greens (maybe 2 bunches of cilantro/parsley and a handful of kale pieces a day) she's getting a lot of nutrients and maybe that's why she's leaving behind cecals. I've noticed an odd new behavior lately. When I hold a piece of...

Bunny still isn't eating her hay or pellets. She also isn't inhaling the greens with quite as much gusto as before, but that could be because I've finally nailed the force feeding and she could be full from those. She does seem to have a bit more kick in her (seems like mostly annoyance towards...

That's what I thought, but all the vets I talked to seemed to ignore the fact that she was eating greens and just referred to her as "not eating"--a big difference between the two in my mind, but what do I know!

The vet checked her teeth out and said they look okay. She wants to do an x-ray to look for masses etc. but that's too extreme of a procedure for me to agree to without the owner's consent.

Oh that's good to hear! Glad your bun is doing better! Did you assist feed her in the interim? If so, do you think that helped? I think I will try that (and try to make it as least traumatic as possible!)

Hi there! I'm new here (and quite possibly temporary). I am caring for a friend's bun who, after 12 years of perfect health, came down with an ill-timed case of GI stasis just days before my friend left three weeks on vacation. D'oh! She's been eating a lot of greens on her own (manages to get...
