    PLEASE HELP! Rabbit not drinking/eating well after Molar Spurs

    You should start feeding him Critical Care (available at feed & pet stores and online), mix about 2 tsp with water to make a paste more watery than toothpaste and feed with a syringe (no needle of course). You can also give him water via syringe. It gets a little messy but worth it obviously...

    Help ! is this mushy night poop ? or diarrhea ?

    Since your baby was losing weight, did your vet recommend Critical Care (Oxbow)? We had one baby in a litter who started losing weight at about 6 weeks. We did 3cc Critical Care for 2 weeks, 4 times a day. Never thought I'd be doing 2 am feedings again! He's now at 10 weeks and is a round...

    Bunny peeing on me when held :(

    Oh and your bun might always hesitate when you pick her up. She is a prey animal and instinct is strong. Just be gentle, she'll get better at it but maybe not exactly what you prefer. Good luck.

    Bunny peeing on me when held :(

    Do you have a litter pan available when your bun is out? If not I recommend one. Every time we bring our buns out, after getting some holding/cuddle time, we put them down to play but put them right in the litter pan first. When she pees on you, she is more than likely marking her territory...

    What's your bunny's name?

    To RavenousDragon - hahaha!!! I have a Scotch and Whiskey too! We went with flowers for the girls: Lily, Violet, Dahlia but then had a Beau which turned out to be a girl so we switched it to Belle, got a Pepper (chocolate black color) and added two "Polar Boys" (sable point and frost pearl...

    Uneaten cecals

    Hiya! A couple of suggestions: My buns do not always eat all their cecatrophes and there are times when they too smash them onto the cage floor. I did take my buns to our vet (bunny expert) and they were fine. If your bun stops eating or starts to drink A LOT more water, take him to a vet...

    Help me figure out why my rabbits are STILL producing excess cecotropes

    Have a pile of hay available all the time. If you are "splitting" the amount, you still may not be giving them enough hay. When I clean my buns bungalow, there is always a fair amount of hay that goes into either the compost or the greens bin (our city collect yard trimmings). They really should...

    Pee stains on vinyl flooring... HELP

    You have to be very careful with your cleaning agents and your buns. I use CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust) diluted to about 50% but it is incredibly caustic. You must wear heavy duty latex gloves because if you don't it will disintegrate your finger nails. You must also wipe out the floor of your...

    Young bun won't stop attacking me!!

    Sounds like a really bad case of puberty. Maybe some territorial issues too. In any case neutering really helps. Keep handling him and don't force the issue of him being free roam. He may take a lot of time to warm up to a space. We still have buns that won't leave the living room area rug and...

    Baby Bunny die before first week

    Great description of a peanut. We had a litter of 4 with one peanut and mom was first time so she wasn't good at feeding right from the start. Since our buns get handled a lot, we held mom in my daughter's lap and held the babies up to her (one at a time) until the two that weren't getting much...

    Help! Smelly bunnies!

    I use feline pine pellets. My bunnies do really well with this and are indoors and I have a total of 8 buns in my tiny house. I clean out about once a week and we do well on this schedule. My buns do not nibble on the pellets but keep an eye on yours. I can't remember where I read it but I...
