Did you have your rabbit tested for Encephalitozoon cuniculi ? I've had 2 rabbits with this and both had symptoms similar to what you are describing. WIth the first rabbit, I had no idea what I as dealing with so he had some permanent issues. When our second rabbit looked like she was having...

I'm fostering 5 bunnies in one area and this hay feeder works great for them. 2305 Mega Hay Rack - 20 inch wide I put an underbed storage box beneath it as a litter pan and put a layer of wood pellets in the bottom. The pan catches errant hay to so it work well. Pertwerks also has some...

These ingredients are rabbit-safe. I just can't swear that they will eat them!

I think the reason to try the bathtub is to give the rabbits an uncomfortable situation so that they may look to each other for comfort. I know that is why they tell you to put them in a box together and drive them around in the car or put them on top of the dryer. We did all 3 of these things...

Interesting! We got Natasha FOR Rocky, not for us so we started bonding them right away. It took about 2.5 weeks of daily meeting etc. It didn't take long to bond with her after they bonded with each other and I actually think my bond with Rocky helped Natasha bond with me easier. To each his...

I live in San Luis Obispo County so likely alot closer to you than many others on this board. Your rabbits are adorable. My Natasha is also a Hotot Lionhead. When people see her for the first time they call her 'exotic'. Seems like a fair label for that breed!

We are 3 hours from L.A. or San Francisco so they list doesn’t help, unfortunately. There is one other exotic vet nearby and I plan to call her tomorrow. I was really hoping someone had a suggestion for something I can add to the nebulizer yo make him more comfortable until he can be seen by by...

Rocky is currently on injectible penicilin and oral Azithromycin. He's on 5 weeks already and continues to sneeze. That said, the rumbling in his sinuses has subsided. He eats, plays and poops as usual but seems to be depressed. I'd guess that's from daily injections. He had been on bicillin...

I imagine this has cleared up, but in case not or someone else is reading this - it's not a big deal. My vet explained that rabbits will sometimes get a bit of fur in their eye and this is the result. If you have a second rabbit, sometimes they will groom it away. When that doesn't happen, I...

It sound like you are looking for a dog and not a rabbit? Rabbits CAN be interactive and affectionate but they are generally not like dogs and cats in that regard. I agree that he would be alot happier with a bonded companion but if you are not happy with a single bunny, having two is not going...

Most pre-made toys are pretty expensive. I would love to know how to make those mats if you find instructions or invent your own. I have taken long sections of hay and braided thick ropes and rings and they seem to like those.

Oh, that’s great news!!

Natasha is a rescue. She was 8 months old and spayed when we brought her home. I don’t know Rocky’s origin. To me he’s a “rescue” as he had belonged to a family with 2 little girls for three years before they got tired of him. When we got him, his nails were so long they actually curled out to...

Don’t forget berry cane and leaves are also an option. I give mine pieces I prune from My raspberry bushes.

I completely agree with this. So you go out an forage for their greens. What all are you getting for them? We are on 5 acres and I have a ton of grasses and weeds to choose from. I also have an organic garden with 12 raised beds and they get things from there: Brussels sprout leaves, cilantro...
