I have a male who doesn't seem to be in any pain and he is eating and drinking and defecating just fine, but the tips of his testicles are dark and shrivled. Is this a problem? And if so what is going on and how do I fix it?

Here are some pics:

I am going to be moving into an apartment away from my parents and I have six rabbits, but I wanted to take two of them with me so that they don't get lonely while I'm gone, and anyway the more rabbits the better right? So I know that I want to keep one of my males because he is very sweet and...

I have four rabbits that need a home: a female half rex half lop one year old with otter coloring, a male half rex half lop two year old black, a white male with grey spots half rex half lop one year old, and a black male half rex half lop that is ten months old. I cannot keep them all and need...

Ok, thank you, that is very good to know. I will ask what is in the ointment and research it.

Thank you, but I actually was just given (a few hours ago) a natural paste thing made from essential oils and other natural medicines that is very safe for a bunny to eat, so I think I will just use that. But I will keep what you said in mind for the future.

Is human Neosporin safe to put on a rabbit? And would even Neosporin used for horses be safe for rabbits?

Thank you everyone. He does have a platform that he can get off of the wire on, and as for pododermatitis yeah he already got it I think. But dang, see the thing is that I need him to be in a clean environment at as much as possible, that's why I put him on a wire bottom, so that all the feces...

Alright, so Willie will be fine. He just has a sort of fungal infection on his testes, which was caused by the wetness of the ground. So I sterilized his cage and propped it up off the ground with cinder-blocks (there is wire on the bottom of his cage). I will also be giving him little shallow...

So, I researched staff infections and such of the like and I don't think he has a staff infection. The bumps look more like blackheads and not so much like what I saw the staff infections look like. I also read that a rabbit with a staff infection would itch it and would not be energetic but he...

Thank you everybody, this has been extremely helpful. If you don't mind though, I have a few more questions. My dog just recently had a staff infection and we gave her some staff infection medicine. It was human staff infection medicine and it was the kind that you put on the infection, we were...

Alright, thank you. I think you are right about the testes, it looks like he has acne on them, so that sounds accurate. As for the penicillin, I have used it before and we injected it, I never fed it to any rabbit though I would have preferred to have fed it to him because I do not like needles...

Thank you blue eyes, but do you or anyone else know whether my rabbit's infections would be bacterial or otherwise? The one on his lip he got from fighting with another male rabbit. The ones on his testacles I have no idea.

It does sound like fur mites. I have had quite a few rabbits with fur mites, and usually I go to the pet store, or the Tractor Co. and I get some fur mite medicine for cats. It works well as long as you apply it as often as the package tells you to, and you may want to get the kitten kind since...

Hi, I just found that my rabbit seems to have a bunch of tiny infections or punctures or something of the like all over his testicles. He also had a cut on his lip, which I didn't really clean out (because I didn't want to drown him or cause him to swallow too much medicine or anything) and now...
