Or a wildlife rehab. Or any other who has a healthy rabbit, but imo normal poo would do the job too. But no, unless cottontails are different to domestic rabbits in that regard, they don't need cecotropes. The does do not leave them lying around for the kits, that would turn the nest into a...

Since the both look the same it's not likely an injury or something. Anyway, how warm is it where he is? Do they look like this all the time, even when he shouldn't be warm? I rarely see them full out like that, my buck and house bunny just had one large testicle, and I never even noticed...

Welcome, what exactly is her diet? You could try offering her some soft, damp pellets, if she eats that in my opinion it could be a hint towards a dental issue. Would she eat the fine stuff from the bottom of the hay bag/bale? My rabbits like it, even when green food is available and normal...

My Ruth had something that looked exactly like that, even more blood. I reckon it was an insect bite, 2 days later nothing to be seen.

Everything natural? Compost, bunny berries, rabbit urine.... Or just mulching used hay and greens after mowing, and spreading grass clippings from neighbours, that's how I restored my meadow from an ankle high wasteland to a lush greenery. That has by far the most positive effects on the soil...

All of them are fine.

'sigh' My lovely Lotte, my youngest doe aged just 1 died last sunday due to blockage, I noticed something was off Saturday noon when she refused her oats. Symptoms were quite different to stasis episodes I've had with other rabbits. Since nothing I tried showed any improvement I got her to a...

I wouldn't trust reviews, but call the other vets and decide myself if I think they know about rabbits. Like, you could ask about the gut stimulant. This, and IV fluids are the most common reasons I go to my vet when what I can do doesn't quite cut it.

What does the abcess look and feel like? Is there a hole or scab in the middle, or is the skin perfectly intact? Well, since you're going to the vet tomorrow anyway there isn't anything to be done for now, hopefully it's not a big deal. Keep us updated please.

The way I approach rabbits that don't like to be handled is: What needs to get done, gets done, that's a fact, no doubt, no discussion - and no apologies, not even in my mind, well, I do my best. If you are determined in what you are doing this can make things a lot easier, they do pick up if we...

I would get it off asap, especially if it isn't clompletly dried up and smells - that could attract flies, take a very close look for eggs. If it's a problem or not is hard to say from afar, if it's just normal bunny berries stuck in the fur I would remove it and keep an eye on his poop, that...

A pheromone glue trap should be perfectly safe. No toxins involved.

Pheromones? As far as I can tell although they have scent glands does themself don't smell. I think they use them to make their poop smell for rabbit noses when they mark their territory. Bucks can be smelly, or more precisely, their hutch can get a distinct, musky odour. They themself don't...

Usually, leftover cecos are a sign of a too rich diet. Nursing does eat a lot, so I wouldn't worry if it's just a few. But although they can make use of some extra calories and protein at some point it's enough - they evolved on a meager diet. I think if you enrich the feed to the point of Cecos...

Getting humped can trigger false pregnancys, since they are induced ovolators, not the other way round. When she didn't had any false pregnancys in 4 years that's pretty lucky for an intact doe. It can be that she's "mostly" female, it's not unheard of that some rabbits had a hard time deciding...

You're absolutly positive that you've got a girl there? Although does do hump other rabbits I only have seen that in an explicitly social context, like humping THAT doe for THIS reason, not to just hump for the sake of humping. But my does live together so not too sure about single does. Some...

I would see a vet ASAP. Get her moving, make her hop around, that can help getting things moving again. Give gentle belly massages, offer water to drink. Try to hold hay against her mouth, and see if she eats some when she get's annoyed enough to bite into it. Vets have more effective...

Some treats after moving them might help convince them nothing bad is happening. Other than that, staying calm yourself, avoid hectic, really might help, they tend to pick up the mood of the creatures around them.

How old are they? I never can tell with warfs :D. Do they live together, what's your setup?

Had to laugh when I read my last update :D. Although Herr Hase is no more for more than 2 years now I was going to write about the exact same issue that got to my nerves lately with his successor Pacino (now 4 years old), 3 months of continiously following Dotty around oinking every wake moment...
