These are his poops. I was under the impression they should be much lighter.

My rabbit has always had dark poop. Really dark. It's mostly uniform in size, and after a while it becomes really hard to break open (fresher poop is a lot softer). This is his current feeding schedule. Morning: 1/8th cup Oxbow Adult pellets and 2 Oxbow Digestive supplements (he's about 8...

I think any organic brand could work, really, as long as you find a spring mix or like a baby lettuce mix. Spinach is okay for bunnies on occasion; it's just really high in calcium, which is why I raise caution. A prepackaged mix should be just as good as anything else, as long as you wash it...

I'm not familiar with that brand, but as long as it's the right kind, it should be okay. You basically want a spring mix, nothing with iceberg lettuce and avoid spinach as well. Just look up each ingredient. I think salad mixes might end up being more expensive, though?

My vet called back, said the vet here did everything fine, just that she would recommend an x-ray. Vet here called back and they were able to give me metacam, but said to wait to give it to him tomorrow. I've been giving him stomach massages and can hear/feel gurgling. I will probably ask for an...

I called the vet I went to today and she stepped out, so I'm waiting for a call back. Also called my vet back home and they're supposed to call me back too. I had doubts about the vet when she suggested pineapple juice or papaya. I also knew to ask for pain medication and now I'm kicking myself...

My rabbit was eating fine and pooping yesterday until sometime in the evening. He got his dinner vegetables and I noticed he only ate about half. Before bed, I went to give him a treat and he refused it. First thing in the morning, after he still hadn't eaten, I took him to the vet. I'm...

I got Tilly in September of 2013. His previous owners told me he was six months old. Since then, we have had a lot of adventures. Many appliances have been lost due to poor bunny proofing, but I've learned my lesson. In May, Tilly became an international traveler as we went to live in Canada for...

They might not be available much longer. Doctors Foster and Smith as well as Bunspace sell diced papaya, which would have the same result. You'd just feed sparingly like any treat.

Oxbow used to produce Papaya Plus tablets, but they have since been discontinued. Now they have a line of Natural Science supplements, including one for skin and hair. I haven't heard of any other papaya tablets.

While I was away for two weeks, my parents bought my rabbit some Wild Harvest pellets with a bunch of junk in them and low fiber content. I ended up getting him Oxbow Adult pellets, but he doesn't seem to like it. I've tried mixing in the old pellets with the Oxbow and he avoids it. Now, he...
