I used baby crib bumper pads to help with my bun Naji. You could also use rolled up towels to help position.

I wish you the very best of luck with your bun. I experienced a similar situation with my bun Naji. I received her from a family member after he rescued her from a cat. They keep their rabbits outside. They didn’t even know there was a new litter. No way to tell how old she was but now...

We cut 2 apple trees down yesterday. My bun Skittles loves to chew on the branches. Is it possible for her to eat too much?

This morning I lost my splay legged bun, Naji. She was only 11 months old. We tried the splinting she did not take well to it and had it removed. I’m not sure that was the right choice. She took constant care. I loved caring for her, making her bedding, cleaning her tush every day. She...

I am so sorry for your loss! I am truly feeling your pain. When I got up this morning my disabled bunny, Naji, had passed. She had splay leg and could only scoot around. She took constant care. In the end, I feel she gave me more comfort than I did her. Again, so very sorry for your loss!

Mixed emotions! I took Naji to the vet. They did X-rays. Nothing found. The vet suggested Naji be hobbled. No guarentee it would help. I felt like if it might help, we should try it. It was a disaster. My poor little guy just drug his self around. Not really much different that what he...

Thank you! I cut the treats out yesterday and Naji has a bunnytude (my word for bunny attitude). I made an appointment with the vet and will see him Thursday. I’m wondering how often I should give the butt bath. When we see the vet I’m asking if they could shave it for me but it is so matted...

What veggies do you recommend?

Thanks! Pellets, I never thought of that!

The bunny room does not get hot. We keep the temp around 75. I’m fairly certain it’s too many carbs. I’m trying to cut them out for now to see what happens. I’m fairly certain butt baths will be a common occurrence. The scooting just makes things worse. What is used for treats that isn’t...

And, thank you for the articles.

I adopted Naji February 22. He was rescued from a cat. The rabbits were kept outside with a large free roam area. The owners were not aware there were little ones as they would have moved them in. A cat got into the pen and tried to take off with it. The owners heard the cry and rescued it...

Thank you for the input. I definitely think it is splay leg. I’ll be making an appointment to see what the vet has to say. Thanks again!

I’m looking for some input on what might be going on with my bun. First, Naji always has a poopy butt. I give a butt bath but the next day it’s the same or worse. Also, I can never seem to get the butt fully clean, seems to be matted. My next question could be part of the problem. Why does...

I also recently got a new rabbit. The last time I had a rabbit was over 50 years ago when I was in 4H. My bunny was rescued from a cat. His name is Naji, Indian for rescued.
