Update: the vet gave us anti-parasitic medicine to give him and also an ear cleaner for the wax :) changed his whole living area and sterilized/disinfected the whole room he stays in. He has two more treatments to do ever 21 days and he should be good by then!

He’s not a lop eared bunny :( he’s A Netherland dwarf bunny with Straight up ears. I don’t really see any symptoms besides the wax in the ear. I will keep monitoring it. Thank you for the advice!
He’s not a lop :( which is why I’m worried. No his skin is super nice and soft, his hair is always combed nicely I de shed him all the time to make sure GI stasis never happens. He’s not scratching at all and there’s no fur loss at all :/. I feel like it is dried up wax and so it took on a...
Yes! I have an appointment. How do ear mites happen exactly? He’s the only bunny I have and he’s a free roam and never goes outside. I won’t touch the wax in his ears as I have an appointment soon and I want them to see it. Thank you for the advice!
Hello, today while I was combing my bunny I did my usually inspection of his body and notices his ears were a bit dry on the edges and proceeded to look inside his ear where I saw a tiny bit of ear wax. I went on google but everywhere was telling me that it’s ear mites. I don’t know if it is ear...
I suggest not keeping him in a wired bottom cage! Even with the most padding it can cause harm in their legs because it is too much pressure and they never have truly any safe space to relax! The chewing and biting at everything can also be a sign that he’s bored! It’s best to stay away from...
Thank you so much!! Will definitely cover my floor all with fleece and memory foam now! Before it was just certain parts but I think now I’ll just cover the entire carpet. As per trimming his nails I will do everything the video shows! Once again thank you!!
Oh these are very minor and actually very common! Most bunnies do develop calluses, just make sure her flooring is kept nice and comfy and keep monitoring them because you don’t want them to turn red but rather stay a light pink!
Yeah they’re a pretty light pink but I don’t want them to get worst so I’ve been putting small amounts of Vaseline to keep them hydrated and lots of fleece covers so that he always has somewhere soft to rest
I know what you mean! Luckily my parents always listen to me and make vet appointments as soon as possible. Definitely soften up his flooring and put some Vaseline to make sure they don’t crack and start bleeding! And keep monitoring them!
Hey guys
I have a Netherland dwarf bunny Named peanut who seems a bit prone to getting calluses in his hind feet. We noticed them for the first Time about a year ago (he’s only 3 years old) and brought him to the vet for his regular nail trim and they said that it was ok and to put some sort of...
